Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a vehicle brake system and to a vehicle brake system, wherein the vehicle brake system comprises at least one hydraulic vehicle brake (10), having a brake caliper (12), having a brake piston (16), having a brake piston seal (20) which is assigned to the brake caliper (12) and which acts between the brake caliper (12) and brake piston (16), having brake pads (22), and having a brake disk (24), in which method a hydraulic brake pressure acting on the brake piston (16) is built up in a manner dependent on a braking command. The brake pressure is furthermore held in a manner dependent on the braking command. If the braking command is withdrawn, the hydraulic brake pressure acting on the brake piston (16) is reduced to a hydraulic intermediate pressure, and the hydraulic intermediate pressure is held for a defined second period of time. The hydraulic brake pressure is subsequently reduced.

Abstract: In the case of a hydraulic vehicle brake, having a brake caliper (12), having a brake piston (16), having a receiving bore (14) for the brake piston (16), and having a brake piston seal (32) that acts between the brake caliper (12) and the brake piston (16), the brake piston seal (32) is designed as a composite part, with a composite of a base component (34) and a reinforcement insert (36). The reinforcement insert (36) provides the brake piston seal (32) with a degree of elasticity in an axial direction, whereby, after the brake piston (16) has been displaced in the direction of brake pads (22), the brake piston seal (32) displaces the brake piston (16) in the opposite direction.

Abstract: The drain pipe cleaner plumbing tool is a set of tools that allow an individual to clean a clogged drain and to reduce the likelihood of future blockages. It comprises a cap to replace the retaining nut after the pivot rod and built-in stopper are removed from a sink, a tool that reaches into a drain line all the way to the wall and pulls out foreign material, a mesh drain liner that collects foreign objects near the drain hole where they can be easily removed, and a manual stopper that mates with the mesh drain liner.

Abstract: A display device is provided for a watch movement provided with a final gear train intended to drive, at least in a mediated way, means of displaying the time and an energy source driving the final gear train. In one implementation, the display device comprises a display disk for an additional function, and a display gearing of which one moving part carries the display disk. The display device also comprises a second energy source connected mechanically to the display gearing and operating means for the display gearing, designed so as to cause the gearing to be driven by the second energy source when the information for display has to be changed.

Abstract: A running reserve indicator is provided for a mechanical clockwork provided with a main barrel for driving a gear-train and at least a second barrel for driving a gear-train allocated to an auxiliary function which is performed during a determined period. With the indicator, the running reserve displayed with the aid of a hand and a dial is always equal to the running reserve of the barrel having the smallest reserve.

Abstract: The device implementing the method for packaging fragile, delicate food products according to the invention comprises a transfer and placement module (13) for transferring products (14) directly from a supply belt (15) onto the supply belt of the following packaging unit or onto a transverse belt (11) perpendicular to the supply belt. To accomplish this the module comprises an endless conveyor belt extending into an orientable, extendible tip (19) which receives and places products (14) on the transverse belt (11). The supply belt (15) has one movable extremity (17) which serves as a switching means between the transverse belt (11) and the following supply belt (15).
