Publication number: 20250065911Abstract: An at least partially automated guidance of a motor vehicle includes receiving infrastructure-generated environment data describing an environment of the motor vehicle, and deciding, based on the infrastructure-generated environment data, which of three driving strategies to use for the at least partially automated guidance of the motor vehicle. The first driving strategy stipulates that only motor vehicle-generated environment data is used. The second driving strategy stipulates that both the motor vehicle-generated environment data and the infrastructure-generated environment data are used. The third driving strategy stipulates that only the infrastructure-generated environment data is used. On the basis of the decision, control signals for the at least partially automated control of the lateral and/or longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle are generated and output.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2024Publication date: February 27, 2025Applicant: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Stefan Nordbruch, Nico Latsch, Felix Hess, Michael Gabb, Carsten Hammerling, Sascha Muhlbrandt, Sebastian Hahn

Patent number: 10871177Abstract: A discharge pressure scale (30) includes a valve housing (41) having a functional connector (A), a return flow connector (T) and a user connector (28). A valve piston (52) is guided such that it moves longitudinally against the effect of an energy accumulator (42), moving from a respective opening or regulating position, against a valve seat (94), into a closed position. The user connector (28) and return flow connectors (T) are separated from one another. The fluid pressure present at the user connector (28) can be guided onto a pressure-active surface (A1*) of the valve piston (52) by a pressure compensation device (70) in such a way that it moves into its respective opening or regulating position in a pressure-compensated manner due to the force of the energy accumulator (42).Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2017Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: HYDAC FLUIDTECHNIK GMBHInventors: Philipp Hilzendegen, Markus Bill, Maximilian Felix Hess
