Patent number: 5293808Abstract: A vacuum brake power booster and a process is disclosed in which a precise adjustment of the power boost startup characteristic is achieved. The adjustment is carried out as a final step in the manufacture of the booster adjusting the distance between the valve piston and an elastic reaction distance. During adjustment, the vacuum brake power booster has a vacuum applied. A pre-established input force is exerted on the piston rod while simultaneously measuring the output force exerted by the push rod, and the axial length of the valve piston is modified until the measured output force is within a pre-established range. The adjustment is carried out by modifying the length of a two piece valve piston or by temporarily extending a rod within the valve piston until a correct output force is reached and thereafter removing the rod and inserting a transmission pin of a length determined by the extent of travel of the rod at the point at which the desired output force was attained.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1992Date of Patent: March 15, 1994Assignee: Alfred Teves GmbHInventors: Manfred Rueffer, Ralf Jakobi, Jurgen Bauer, Peter Kraft

Patent number: 4170396Abstract: An optical component element which may be either used as an optical storage medium or as a component in an optical system characterized by a plurality of sub-holograms which will randomly divide a beam of coherent radiation in a plurality of partial beams with each of the sub-holograms producing a single partial beam. Each of the sub-holograms may be constructed so that the partial beam produced thereby exhibits a specific spatial configuration at specific locations in space with the spatial configurations being either focal points, focal lines, circular rings or sectors of a circle. Each of the sub-holograms may have a different area so that the partial beam formed thereby has a varying energy content. Preferably, the sub-holograms are constructed as sectors of a circle.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 1978Date of Patent: October 9, 1979Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventor: Heinz-Peter Kraft
