Abstract: In a method for stabilizing a vehicle motion of a single-track motor vehicle, e.g., a motorcycle, an angle of inclination of the motor vehicle relative to the roadway is recorded via inclination sensors and, after the processing of the angle of inclination in a computing device, a control signal based on this is supplied to a control device for bringing about a stabilization intervention in the vehicle motion, the attitude angle of the motor vehicle being recorded and jointly processed in the control device, using at least one attitude angle recording sensor.

Abstract: Disclosed is a sensor array for evaluating the signals of a magnetically sensitive sensor, in which the changes in the magnetic field caused by a moved transmitting element (10) are evaluated by forming the difference. The transmitting element (10) is fitted with a plurality of magnetic poles (14, 16). A soft magnetic collecting element (18, 20) is provided which taps the magnetic field of at least two magnetic poles (14, 16) of the same kind and feeds said magnetic field to the sensor element (22).

Abstract: A system for a transmission of several additional pieces of information by a single modification of a speed signal. In addition to the modification of the speed signal in the area near the wheel (modified speed sensor), the system provides the special evaluation of the speed signal, modified, at a distance from the wheel (controller). In addition, the system naturally also includes the combination of the special speed sensor and the controller.

Abstract: In a travel measuring instrument (10), a magnet (11) which is polarized in the movement direction (R) is disposed against a flux conducting part (12). The flux conducting part (12) has a surface (13), which is inclined and is embodied as oval, which is disposed opposite a magnetic field sensitive element (15) with an air gap (L1). When there is movement, the air gap (L1) changes so that the magnetic field sensitive element (15) generates an output signal proportional or linear to the movement direction R of the component to be monitored.

Abstract: A valve block assembly and an electronic control unit are separably joined to one another by means of a contact pin and contact sheath connection. The contact sheaths are disposed in a caplike insulating housing part of the valve block assembly. The contact sheaths are connected by flexible leads to connection contacts of the valves of the valve block assembly. This equalizes tolerances between the valves and the contact sheaths, on the one hand, and on the other thermally shields the control unit. The contact pins, anchored in the control unit, are connected to a stamped grid embedded in the control unit housing to the lead segments of which grid electronic components of the control unit are connected. These components are located on a ceramic support plate, which is joined to a heat conduction plate by adhesive bonding. The interior of the control unit housing is closed off by an outer wall serving as a protective covering.

Abstract: An electrical connection structure for connecting an electronic control unit 7, for example in an anti-lock braking system (ABS) or a traction control system, to magnetic valves 2,3, or other load, features a novel plug-and-socket structure which eliminates some of the conventional wiring harness. Magnetic valves 2, 3 are attached on one side to a housing 4 and feature, on their opposing faces, prongs 6 which engage counter-contacts 18 on electronics unit 7, which thus attaches directly to the valve unit. Electronics unit 7 also has sockets to receive contact pins 22 of a relay 23. Electronics unit 7 and valve housing 4 mate in such a way that relay 23 cannot be accidentally unplugged and is protected from environmental influences.
