Abstract: A hydraulic unit with open-loop and closed-loop control of brake pressure in a brake circuit of an electronically slip-controllable braking system of a motor vehicle includes a pump housing, a motor for driving a brake pressure generator, and an electronic control device for controlling the motor in line with demand. The motor and the control device are disposed on opposite sides of the pump housing, and a shaft bore extending all the way through is formed therebetween, in which shaft bore a motor shaft which can be rotationally driven is disposed. A sealing apparatus seals the shaft bore with respect to an interior of the electronic control device. A sealing apparatus which comprises an insertion seal is disposed on the pump housing in a seal socket and a mechanical preloading force is applied by a preloading apparatus. A method of assembling the hydraulic unit is also provided.

Abstract: An agricultural machine for conducting an agricultural working process includes a combustion engine (2), electrical consumers (3-8), a chargeable electrical battery (9) for electrically supplying the consumers (3-8) and a monitor module (10) for monitoring the charging level of the battery (9). It is proposed that some of the electrical consumers (3-8) of the agricultural machine (1) are peripheral consumers (3-8) for providing functions in a parking state of the agricultural machine (1), in which the combustion engine (2) is shut off, that a power management module (11) is provided, which in the parking state of the agricultural machine (1) monitors the charging level of the battery (9) via the monitor module (11) and deactivates at least one peripheral consumer (3-8), when the charging level falls below a threshold level.

Abstract: A self-propelled agricultural working machine has at least one working unit such as a ground drive, a driver assistance system for generating control actions within the working machine, and a sensor system for generating pieces of environmental information. The driver assistance system generates the control actions on the basis of the pieces of environmental information. The driver assistance system assigns an urgency level to each of the pieces of environmental information and generates the control actions on the basis of the pieces of environmental information and the particular assigned urgency levels.

Abstract: A low-power and high-quality DCT transformation based on the Cordic method is presented. The proposed Cordic based Loeffler DCT architecture only requires 38 add and 16 shift operations to carry out the DCT transformation. The complexity is almost the same as the complexity of the binDCT-C5. The simulation results show that the DCT according to the invention reduces the area and the power dissipation of the implementation compared to the original Loeffler DCT significantly. Furthermore, it only has a fraction of the power dissipation of the binDCT-C5. The major contribution of the DCT according to the invention is that it not only reduces the area and power consumption significantly, but also keeps the good transformation quality of the original Loeffler DCT. It is worth noticing that the Cordic based Loeffler DCT according to the invention is very suitable for low-power and high-quality CODECs in multimedia hand-held systems.
