Abstract: An external energy source of a hydraulic motor vehicle power brake system, which has first and second valves that can be electrically controlled to adjust wheel brake pressures for wheel brakes, must be protected from being overloaded. To avoid the necessity for a safety valve, which has been used up to this point for protecting the external energy source, it is proposed that the first valve be embodied as a seat valve having a valve seat connected to the external energy source by means of an inlet opening disposed upstream, having a valve closing body associated with the valve seat, and having a closing spring that presses the valve closing body against the valve seat, which spring is dimensioned as a safety valve spring in a fashion according to the invention. In a reasonably priced manner, the first valve is used as a safety valve that protects the external energy source and on the other hand, for braking procedures, is used as a valve for adjusting wheel brake pressures.

Abstract: An accelerator pedal modules for a motor vehicle which is actuated by the driver's foot. A sensor is disposed in a common housing together with other components, a restoring spring assembly, a kickdown mechanism and an end switch secured relative to the accelerator pedal and each other. The sensor is disposed in a separate housing, and by a suitable embodiment of the pedal lever, the accelerator pedal module can be adapted to a specific vehicle without modification of the sensor.

When the accelerator pedal module is activated the pedal activates the sensor which sends an electrical signal to a controller via electrical lines. The sensor includes a restoring spring which forces the pedal back to its normal rest position. The device includes a friction device which causes a friction in order to apply a force against momentum of the pedal. The controller controls an output of a driving engine.

Abstract: A solvent containing low-boiling and high-boiling impurities in an evaporating section, so that the high-boiling impurities is left as a tank bottom waste, and a solvent vapor from the section is guide through a mist separator into a condenser. A condensate produced in the condenser is returned to the mist separator so as to serve as a mist catching liquid. A fraction not having condensed in the condenser is fed to a rectifying section where fractional condensation is performed so that the low-boiling impurities are condensed to be removed. A remainder of the solvent vapor from which the impurities have been removed is also condensed and recovered for reuse in the resist washing/exfoliating step during manufacture of liquid crystal devices or IC, so that the soiled solvent need not be discarded or treated in a remote cite, thereby facilitating the process or the step using the solvent.

Abstract: In known methods for generating a predetermined constant pressure in a test liquid of a test apparatus, the test liquid is acted upon by compressed gas that is pumped continuously by a pump and is vented into the atmosphere once the test procedure is completed. This not only makes for an expensive consumption of compressed gas but also causes fluctuations in the pressurized liquid and generates noise. In this method, the pressurized liquid is pumped into a reservoir by a feed pump and in the process, via a movable wall, positively displaces compressed gas, which can flow back into a compressed gas container via an opened bypass shutoff valve, a bypass line, and a compressed gas shutoff valve. During the procedure of testing the specimen, the compressed gas from the compressed gas reservoir acts upon the test liquid with a constant pressure, regulated via the pressure regulating valve. The method is especially suitable for use in a test apparatus for testing injection valves and Diesel injection nozzles.
