Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for analyzing milk, comprising: a line section (2) for the milk, a light source unit (4) which emits light into the line section (2), a detection unit (5) for detecting light exiting from the line section (2), and in particular an evaluation unit (6) which is designed to analyze the milk in relation to the ingredients based on signals of the detection unit (5).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for analysing a cleaning fluid, comprising: •a line portion (2) for the cleaning fluid, •a light-source unit (4), which emits light into the line portion (2), •a detection unit (5) for spectrally resolved capturing of light exiting the line portion (2), and •an analysis unit (6) which is designed to analyse the cleaning fluid with regard to the constituents on the basis of signals from the detection unit (5).

Abstract: A parking brake actuator includes a mounting bracket, a cover plate. A brake operating assembly includes a lever and a locking sector gear. A locking clutch spring assembly includes a pinion rivet, a shaft, a flange, first and second tubular portions and a pinion with a plurality of teeth. A torsion spring is wrapped about the first tubular portion and the pinion. A first leg of a release spring abuts a first arm of a release lever. A release cable is connected to a second arm of the release lever. A brake cable is connected to an adjusting sector gear, which is engageable with an adjusting clutch spring assembly.

Abstract: A control pedal assembly for a motor vehicle includes a support structure, a pedal arm pivotally mounted to the support structure and carrying a pedal, and a sensor for detecting rotation of the pedal arm and sending an electrical signal to a control device indicating the rotation of the pedal arm. The pedal assembly also includes a hysteresis device adapted to generate a desired feel in response to pivotal movement of the pedal arm. The hysteresis device is secured to the support structure and includes a plunger engaging the pedal arm and is movable within a chamber between an extended position and a depressed position upon rotation of the pedal arm. A pair of coaxial compression springs resiliently bias the plunger to the extended position. The chamber forms a first friction surface and the plunger has a plurality of prongs forming a second friction surface engagable with the first friction surface to resist pivotal movement of the pedal arm.
