Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for providing a trigger signal in response to the commutation of a mechanically commutated electric motor (1). The method comprising the steps of providing a mechanically commutated electric motor (1), providing a power supply for said mechanically commutated electric motor via electrical supply leads (10, 11) from power supply circuitry, providing a filter (15) connected to said electrical supply leads (10, 11), detecting with said filter (15) a voltage spike occurring at commutation, outputting from said filter (15) said trigger signal.
Abstract:
A bed (1) comprising a base part (2), a patient support part (3) ar- ranged above the base part (2), and at least two telescopic elevator columns (7), each comprising an elongate outer tubular member (7a). The outer tubu- lar member (7a) having an open first end, and an elongate inner member (7c) arranged so as to perform a sliding movement through said open first end from a retracted position at least partially within said outer elongate tubular member (7a) to an extended position at least partially outside said outer elon- gate tubular member (7a). The elongate inner member (7c) is supported at a first end by the base part (2). The bed (1) further comprises at least two cross-beams (8) for supporting the patient support part (3). Both of said cross-beams (8) are arranged between the least two telescopic elevator col- umns (7).
