Udo Popp has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7946630
    Abstract: A hydraulic system, especially for motor vehicles includes a master cylinder, a slave cylinder and a pressure medium line connected thereto. The invention provides a hydraulic system which is simple or economical to produce by virtue of the fact that the hydraulic system includes at least one hydraulic plug-type connection with a plug connector and a socket contact and the plug connector includes an abutment and a sealing element which are made of different materials and which are connected together in a material fit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6119728
    Abstract: An assembly for reduction of pulsations and vibrations in a hose including a hose having an interior surface and a throttle being sized for insertion in the hose adjacent to the interior surface. The throttle includes a fluid passageway. The throttle further includes a first end adjacent to the fluid passageway. The first end includes a regulation device for regulating the flow of fluid through the fluid passageway to reduce pulsations and vibrations in the hose.
