Abstract: A hydroaccumulator, in particular a bladder accumulator, includes a pressurized container (1) and a separation element (5) located in the container to separate a gas chamber (7) lying adjacent to an inlet on the gas side from a fluid chamber (9) lying adjacent to an inlet on the fluid side inlet (3), having a fluid connecting sleeve (11) and a valve arrangement located in the connecting sleeve (11). The valve body (17) has a transversal bore (33). The valve body is pretensioned in an open position which allows the passage of fluid and can be displaced into a closed position by a displacement of the separation element (5). The interior surface (15) of the connecting sleeve (11) lies directly against the valve body (17) and guides the displacement of the body between the open and closed positions. The side of the valve body (17?) that faces the separation element (5) is configured as a planar plate extending partially into the fluid chamber (9).

Abstract: A Hall sensor array for offset-compensated magnetic field measurement comprises a first and at least one additional pair of Hall sensor elements. Each Hall sensor element has four terminals, of which two act as power supply terminals for supplying an operating current and two act as measurement terminals for measuring a Hall voltage. Respective first supply terminals of each Hall sensor element are connected together and to a first terminal of a common voltage source and respective second supply terminals of each Hall sensor element are connected together and to a second terminal of the common voltage source so that the common voltage source supplies an operating current for the Hall sensor elements. The Hall sensor elements are operated in the spinning current mode so that the offset voltages of the Hall sensor elements approximately cancel one another out in a revolution so that the Hall signal contributions which actually depend on the magnetic field remain.

Abstract: A hydropneumatic accumulator includes a bellows inside the accumulator housing, separating a gas chamber from an oil chamber. The bellows is fastened at one end to the accumulator housing so that the oil chamber is delimited by the inside of the bellows, and is sealed on the other free end by a closing body that is movable according to changes in volume of the gas chamber and of the oil chamber. The hydropneumatic accumulator also includes a valve to enable a hydraulic fluid to flow out of and into the oil chamber or to block the flow of the hydraulic fluid. The valve can be moved into its blocking position by the closing body when the closing body undergoes a movement corresponding to an increase in the volume of the gas chamber that exceeds a predetermined maximum value. The closing body is in the shape of a trough, with its edge located on the open end connected to the free end of the bellows. The trough extends with its lateral wall along the inside of the bellows.
