Abstract: An electronic control unit adjusts the pressure in the brake cylinders of at least one axle during the braking process on the basis of measured static and dynamic loads at the other axle.

Abstract: An operating variable detected by at least two control units for actuating the brakes is distributed to a central control unit which identifies an error state in the area of the control unit in question when the operating variable in question deviates unacceptably from a reference value.

Abstract: At least one measurement device detects the wheel load or axle load of the vehicle on at least one wheel, and an electronic control unit produces control signals for the wheel brakes at least as a function of the braking demand from the driver and of the detected wheel load or axle load selecting from characteristic brake pressure profiles the profile prescribing the required brake pressure based on driver's braking demand and the load state of the vehicle determined from the load state of the wheel or of the axle, and controlling the brakes in accordance with this profile during the braking process.

Abstract: A process for monitoring several inductive rpm sensors includes superposing a direct current voltage on an alternating voltage signal from one rpm sensor in one rpm sensor circuit to form a combined voltage signal and monitoring a voltage level of the combined voltage signal at a monitoring point in the one rpm sensor circuit to detect a fault such as a break in a sensor feed line.

Abstract: Vehicle speed is measured during slip-free travel of the wheels and compared with the wheel speeds to determine correction values which correct for different wheel diameters. The correction values are used to continuously correct the wheel speeds.

Abstract: The hand tool for applying free-flowing pasty materials includes a container with a displaceable base and a nozzle, a piston engagable with the displaceable base to force the free-flowing pasty material from the container, and a guide device for supporting and for guiding the hand tool on the base.

Abstract: A brake system including an anti-skid apparatus with an electronic control unit for monitoring the grip of the vehicle tires on the road. It is also equipped with a yawing moment attenuator, controlled by the control unit, that in the event of highly varying coefficients of friction prevents an excessively great difference in brake pressure on the two sides of the vehicle. Tractor or towing vehicles driven without the trailer, especially semitrailer trucks, are difficult to control on road surfaces with variable grip, because of the major yawing and steering moments. The tractor or towing vehicle is therefore equipped according to the invention with a trailer detection unit, the signal of which is evaluatable in the control unit and can be fed as a control variable to the yawing moment attenuator. If the truck is driven without a trailer, the yawing moment attenuator can be controlled on the basis of this signal in such a way as to lessen the difference in brake pressure.
