  • Patent number: 11565674
    Abstract: A hydraulic brake system for a vehicle includes a master brake cylinder, a hydraulic unit, and multiple wheel brakes. The hydraulic unit Ha at least one brake circuit for modulating the braking pressure in the wheel brakes. At least one wheel brake is paired with a bistable solenoid valve, which is looped into the corresponding fluid channel directly upstream of the paired wheel brake and which enables the braking pressure in the paired wheel brake to be modulated in a de-energized open position and locks the current braking pressure in the paired wheel brake in a de-energized closed position, wherein a volume equalization device which comprises a connectable accumulator opens into the corresponding fluid channel between the bistable solenoid valve and the paired wheel brake.

  • Publication number: 20220365774
    Abstract: A system and method for managing software services is provided. The method includes receiving a query from a client device, by a processing unit, for accessing software package corresponding to at least one building block stored in a repository, wherein the building block is a software component associated with a software service, configured for reuse in a plurality of engineering applications. The method further includes identifying the software package corresponding to the building block from the repository based on the query. The method further includes providing access to the software package corresponding to the building block, on the client device, through an integrated development environment.

  • Patent number: 11294669
    Abstract: In order to improve the development, design and/or deployment of the complex embedded or the cyber-physical systems and in particular the complex software architectures being included and/or used therein of the different technical domains it is proposed a sophisticated expertise or tool-significant Measure Recommendation System. This Measure Recommendation System, particularly formed by the Computer-Program-Product, is tailored to determine and provide appropriate measures to effectively improve the decision-making process during the design, development and/or deployment of the systems of the different technical domains by automatically providing Measure Determining Vectors.

  • Patent number: 11290035
    Abstract: A method for determining a rotation variable of a rotatably mounted rotor of a mechanically commutated electric motor, having a motor current path formed between two brush elements of the electric motor, and leading via the commutator bars contacted by the brush elements, and via coil windings of the rotor electrically connected to said commutator bars, wherein an oscillating input signal is fed into the motor current path and the rotation variable is determined with the aid of a ripple of a resultant output signal, said ripple being due to the mechanical commutation of the motor current path.

  • Patent number: 10197377
    Abstract: During operation of a capacitive proximity sensor that is provided with at least two measuring electrodes, a first capacitance measurement variable and a second capacitance measurement variable are detected. The first capacitance measurement variable is correlated with the capacitance of at least one of the measuring electrodes to earth, while the second capacitance measurement variable is correlated with the capacitance between at least one of the measuring electrodes and at least one further measuring electrode. A change in the first capacitance measurement variable is evaluated together with a synchronous signal profile of the second capacitance measurement variable in order to distinguish a proximity of a conductor coupled electrically to earth from the proximity of dielectric matter. In this manner, a body part passing into the detection space of the proximity sensor can be distinguished effectively from other substances and objects, particularly water.
