  • Patent number: 9637099
    Abstract: A pressure control valve arrangement is provided for controlling the fluid pressure in an ABS brake system of a vehicle such that, in the event of a tendency of individual wheels of the vehicle to lock, the brake pressure in associated brake cylinders can be adaptively adjusted. At least two diaphragm valves, which have diaphragms which are loaded by spring elements, and at least one electromagnetic control valve, which can be activated by an electronic control device for the pilot control of the diaphragm valves, are provided in a housing of the pressure control valve arrangement. At least one valve seat of the at least one electromagnetic control valve is formed in a unipartite fashion with a housing part which is formed by a plastic injection-molded blank.

  • Patent number: 6799074
    Abstract: In a microprobe system for medical applications particularly for use in neurophysiology and neurosurgery a target determining arrangement is provided which can be mounted on a patients head by means of an adjustable mounting device. An adapter is removably attached to the mounting device and carries a manipulator with a removable probe unit that can be moved by a drive unit which is electrically controllable according to spatial coordinates (x,y,z—respectively, R,&phgr;). The probe unit includes a guide tube for receiving an exchangeable microfiber electrode, which includes sensor areas at its pointed tip for the recording of brain activity signals. The signals can be stored with a PC-interface in a data acquisition unit, which is in communication with an output unit. The manipulator includes a microfiber electrode control unit, for example, an XYZ-slide with locking means as well as a base body for the attachment of the probe unit to the mounting device in a predetermined orientation.
