  • Publication number: 20240073040
    Abstract: A host computer with a FPGA is communicatively coupled to a configuration computer via a communication network. The host computer receives target configuration data from the configuration computer in encrypted form. A scanner module that is associated with the host computer decrypts the target configuration data and scans it for malicious code. The module writes the target configuration data to the fabric area of the FPGA and thereby configures the FPGA accordingly, to enable execution of a target array application. The scanner module is associated with the host computer by being implemented as trusted execution environment, or as an on-array-processor.

  • Patent number: 9316277
    Abstract: A combined vehicle brake having a hydraulically actuable driving brake and an electromechanically actuable parking brake device. In a brake housing, a hydraulic operating pressure space is bounded by a brake piston chargeable with hydraulic pressure medium to carry out normal braking. The brake piston is actuable along a longitudinal axis of the piston, and the parking brake device acts on the brake piston by a gearing converting the rotational movement of an electromechanical actuator into a translation movement and bringing about an actuation of the brake piston in order to carry out parking brake operations and keeping the brake piston in the actuated position. The gearing has a threaded spindle and a threaded nut which are in contact with each other via a plurality of rolling bodies. The frictional moment transmitted by the further axial bearing is higher than the returning torque of the threaded spindle.

  • Patent number: 9151385
    Abstract: A multi-part piston for a brake saddle of a hydraulically and/or mechanically and/or electromechanically actuated disk brake is described herein. The piston is a pot open on one side and including a base and a wall attached thereto in one piece. The base can be impinged by brake pressure coming from the inside of the pot so that an outward-facing abutting surface of the base can be pressed against a brake lining. The inside of the pot receives at least one pressure piece associated with a parking brake mechanism. For simplified manufacture in the form of a modular piston system for use in various applications, it is proposed that the pressure piece and the base comprise conical surfaces facing one another for transferring braking pressure.

  • Patent number: 8869677
    Abstract: A piston for a brake caliper of a disc brake constructed as a pot which is open at one end, having a longitudinal axis, a wall, and a piston head. The piston is supported in a cylinder of the brake caliper such that it can be moved along the longitudinal direction, and it can be placed against a brake pad in the region of the piston head by an axial contact surface. When the piston is subjected to pressure by a hydraulic fluid, the piston moves in the cylinder and presses the brake pad against a brake disc. A projection having a conical surface is provided on an inner surface of the piston head. A recess is provided, which is substantially at the same distance from the longitudinal axis as the projection on the inner surface of the piston head, on an outer surface of the piston head.

  • Patent number: 4058432
    Abstract: A process for producing a thin metal structure with a self-supporting frame, such as a grid, characterized by forming a galvanic resistant coating on a first surface of a carrier member with the coating exposing portions of the first surface adjacent the end of the carrier member and portions of the first surface in the configuration of the metal structure to be formed, depositing a layer of metal on the exposed portion of the first surface, removing the galvanic resistant coating, applying an etch resistant coating on the edges of thecarrier member and at least a portion of a second surface adjacent the edges of the carrier member and then selectively etching the carrier member to remove the carrier member except for that portion protected by the etch resistant coating to form the thin metal structure mounted on a self-supporting frame. The carrier member may either be a single member or a multi-layer member which has a metal coating forming the first surface.
