Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0676158A1] The method involves supporting a patients body (P) on a number of interconnected compartments (14) filled with air or water. A thin metal sheet (B) is attached to the inside of the upper surface (15) and combines with a plate (34) on the underside (16) to form an inductive sensor (34). The inductive sensor (30) measures the distance (Dm) between upper and lower surfaces and is connected to an oscillator (44), amplifier (46), preset distance (Dc) adjustment (48), and regulator and adaptor (50, 52). A computer (42) controls a pump (18, 20) and release valve (22) to maintain the distance between upper and lower surfaces (Dm) at the preset value (Dc). <IMAGE>
