A supply system for at least one orthopedic technology component, which has at least one electronic and/or electrical device and has a supply connection and/or a radio device for receiving data and/or electrical energy. The supply system also includes a holder for the orthopedic technology component, which has a supply device, and which is compatible with the supply connection and/or the radio device, for supplying the orthopedic technology component with data and/or energy. The invention further relates to a system consisting of a supply system and an orthopedic technology device, and to a method for supplying the system with data and/or energy.

Supply system for orthopedic technology components and method

A method for distributing a limited amount of electrical power from an energy source to a plurality of electrical loads includes sensing and/or encoding the available electrical power of the energy source, monitoring a power balance of the loads by sensing and/or encoding the drawn power in the individual loads, and reducing the drawn power in the loads if the available power is not sufficient for supplying all the loads with the required power.

Method for distributing a limited amount of electrical power from an energy source

A jamming roller lock with a housing and at least two jamming discs, which are arranged in the housing such that they can be rotated and which each comprise at least one recess, in which a jamming roller is located, at least one driving projection and at least one driven projection, wherein the jamming discs are arranged and designed in such a way that a rotation of the jamming discs can be achieved by driving the driving projections and a rotation of the jamming discs is prevented by driving the driven projections.

Jamming roller lock

An orthopedic device with an end effector and a driving device, which is configured to drive the end effector by transferring a torque from the driving device to the end effector, wherein the orthopedic device features an overload protection that is configured to only prevent a transmission of a torque from the end effector to the driving device up to a threshold torque in at least one direction, and the overload protection includes at least a first coupling element and a second coupling element, which can be rotated relative to one another and which are coupled magnetically.
