Latest Patents

Frueh’s listed patents address operating-table control and operation.

- Operating table and method for controlling an operating table. This invention describes an adjustable operating-table component, a drive device, two position sensors, and a controller. In one operating mode, the first sensor is active and the drive is energized. In another mode, the second sensor is active while the drive is de-energized. When the second sensor detects a change in the component’s position, the controller switches to the first mode.

- Method and device for operating a mobile operating table. This invention describes a controller and control element for a traction drive that moves an operating table. The drive moves the table from a stop to a first speed following an initial control actuation. Further speed changes depend on the timing of an interruption in that actuation or on a double actuation.
