Abstract: A mounting system for a brake pad in the housings of a disk brake yoke in which the brake pad comprises at its ends two mounting ears (10), each ear being mounted in a housing of a disk brake yoke. The mounting system comprises for each pad ear, a spring (5) of linear or lamella shape, intended to bear, on the one hand, below a lower face (12) of the ear and, on the other hand, on the lower face of the housing of the yoke so as to separate the lower face (12) of the ear from the lower face of the housing.

Abstract: A motor vehicle braking device (12) including parking brake and a first sensor (16) for detecting the state of a member (14) of the parking brake to provide an item of information to a computer (20) via an electric cable (22) connecting this computer to a an adjacent sensor (18) placed close to the state detection sensor 16).

Abstract: A hydraulic braking apparatus for a motor vehicle having a service braking system (A) fed by a central hydraulic unit (3) and an emergency braking system (B). A simulator (M) resists a forward motion of an actuator member (D, 16) for a master cylinder (17) to define a reaction corresponding to the progress of a braking operation. Admission solenoid values (9a-9d) and exhaust solenoid values (14a-14d) connected to the wheel brakes (2a-2d) modulate pressurized fluid supplied by a central hydraulic unit (3) in effecting the braking operation. Sensors (8, 13a-13d, 24, 29) in the motor vehicle detect various braking parameters that are communicated to a computer (C) to control the solenoid valves (9a-9d; 14a-14d) such that the braking operation is a function of the travel of the actuator member (D, 16).

Abstract: A sensor module including a processing unit, a stroke sensor and a force sensor (3) for obtaining data relating to both a force exerted on an axially-moving rod (1) and the travel of the rod through a determination of the position of the piston (2) with respect to the rod (1). The sensor module is characterized by a first stationary electrical coil (5) that is arranged about the piston (2) and the rod (1) and a second moving electrical coil (6) that is disposed about the rod (1) and connected to the force sensor (3). The first (5) and second (6) coils are coaxial and as a result induced oscillatory voltage within the stationary coil (5) generates an eddy current within the piston (2) that permit a measurement of the stroke of the piston (2) by means of eddy-current signal received by the stroke sensor using the piston (2) as a test body, and supplying the force sensor with electrical power through the second moving electrical coil (6).

Abstract: A flexible hose having a wall comprising at least one interlayer (3, 4), to ensure mechanical strength, and two sealing layers (1, 2) lying one on each side of the interlayer. The wall includes an intermediate ply (5) of wires made of a shape-memory material that are arranged and oriented so that their contraction, when the temperature rises, opposes the mechanical deformation of the wall under the effect of pressure.

Abstract: Hydraulic braking apparatus for a motor vehicle, comprising: a service braking system (A), fed by a central hydraulic unit (3); an emergency braking system (B); a hand-control member (D, 16); a master cylinder (17); at least one safety valve (26, 28); a simulator (M), intended to resist the forward motion of the hand-control member (D, 16) with a reaction corresponding to the progress of a braking operation, such simulator comprising a cylinder (30) in which a simulator piston (31) slides while being subjected, in one direction, to a fluid pressure coming from the master cylinder (17) and, in the opposite direction, to a counterforce dependent on the travel of the hand-control member; admission solenoid valves (9a-9d) and exhaust solenoid valves (14a-14d), connected to the wheel brakes (2a-2d); sensors (8, 13a-13d, 24, 29) for the detection of various braking parameters; and a computer (C) capable of controlling the solenoid valves.
