Abstract: A method and a device for evaluating a sensor signal. A value for the residual braking torque of the brake and/or a detection of a blockage of the wheel brake is derived as a function of this signal in the unbraked state.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wheel brake apparatus having an electric motor, a rotation/translation conversion mechanism that can be driven to rotate by the electric motor, a hydraulic working piston that can be moved by the rotation/translation conversion mechanism, and a brake lining piston that can be hydraulically moved by the working piston. In order to permit an emergency actuation of the wheel brake apparatus in the event of a leak in the hydraulics, the invention proposes embodying the wheel brake apparatus so that the brake lining piston can also be mechanically moved by the working piston. This can be achieved by virtue of the fact that the two pistons are disposed coaxially.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a vehicle braking system, in which an air gap is set after completion of a braking operation. The size of the air gap depends on the operating state of the vehicle.

Abstract: A device and a method control units arranged in the power train of a motor vehicle. The vehicle has electrically actuated, wheel brakes, preferably designed with one or two motors. A control arrangement is provided that controls the functions of at least one of the units arranged in the power train and/or the function of the wheel brakes in an open or closed loop and which influence the potential of at least one of these units in response to a signal received. At least one electric storage arrangement is effectively connected to the electrically actuated brakes to supply them with power. The device and method utilize a diagnostic arrangement through which the potential of at least one of the energy storage arrangement is detected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a brake apparatus with an electric service motor, which serves to actuate the brake via an actuating device. To enable setting an air clearance, the apparatus includes a readjuster for setting the air clearance, the brake is actuated with the readjuster and then reversed by a defined length. To realize a parking braking function, the apparatus includes a parking brake that can be repositioned from a released position to a braking position and that acts on the actuating device.

Abstract: In a brake system with electromechanical actuation, a test run is carried out when the vehicle is started, in the course of which at least one wheel brake is acted on by a control signal, which corresponds to a predetermined minimum braking action. If this minimum braking action is not reached in any one of the wheel brakes, the parking brake is not unlocked.
