Patent number: 11413717Abstract: A method is provided for detecting a substance, preferably human tissue, in the vicinity of a mobile tool, wherein the substance to be detected has different electrical characteristics from a material that can be processed by the mobile tool. In the method, a change is detected in a capacitance formed by the tool and a counter electrode that is electrically insulated from the tool. A periodic change in the capacitance is detected and the change is produced by the presence of the substance in a region in relation to the tool and by a periodic change in a geometrical characteristic of the tool in this region as the tool moves.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2018Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignees: FELDER KG, TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITAET WIENInventors: Thomas Weiler, Helmut Caudr, Friedrich Bleicher
