Abstract
A lighting system for a surgical operating room comprises a light source for emitting electromagnetic radiation, a support for holding the light source above an operating table in the operating room, the light source being movably mounted to the support, and a drive operatively coupled to the light source for automatically moving the light source relative to the support. An activator or control disposed in proximity to the operating table is operatively connected to the drive for controllably energizing the drive in response to manipulations by a surgeon working at the operating table.

11. A surgical lighting system, comprising:
-
light source means for emitting electromagnetic radiation; support means for holding said light source means above an operating table in an operating room, said light source means being movably mounted to said support means; first drive means operatively coupled to said light source means for automatically moving same relative to said support means; activation means operatively connected to said drive means for controllably energizing said drive means in response to manipulations by a surgeon working at the operating table; disposition means operatively linked to said activation means for enabling disposition thereof in proximity to the operating table; camera means for taking a photograph, said camera means being mounted to said support means for motion relative to said support meanas independently of said light source means; and second drive means different from said first drive means and operatively connected to said camera means for moving same relative to said support means, said activation means being connected to said second drive means for controlling motion and operation of said camera means.
