  • Publication number: 20120036996
    Abstract: A piston pump as a recirculating pump of a hydraulic traction control vehicle brake system is disclosed, with two pump pistons which are arranged in an opposed arrangement and bear on the outside against an eccentric bearing ring for their lifting drive. The pump pistons are arranged with an offset in the longitudinal direction of a pump shaft, so that they exert a moment upon the bearing ring, which moment presses rolling bodies in the rolling bearing against the pump shaft even when the forces with which the pump pistons press from outside against the bearing ring cancel one another. The rolling bodies roll even when the forces of the pump pistons are compensated.

  • Publication number: 20120038475
    Abstract: A method of wirelessly transmitting alarm signals includes wirelessly transmitting an alarm signal from a transmitting station. It is determined whether an acknowledgement signal wirelessly transmitted from an access point in response to the access point receiving the alarm signal has been received by the transmitting station. A relaying station is woken up and kept awake during a plurality of periodic time intervals for overhearing transmissions from the transmitting station. If it is determined that an acknowledgement signal from the access point has not been received by the transmitting station, then the alarm signal is wirelessly re-transmitting from the transmitting station during at least one of the time intervals in which the relaying station is awake. The alarm signal is received at the relaying station. The alarm signal is transmitted from the relaying station to the access point.
