Abstract: A sensor is used to sense a property relating to each one of a plurality of different elevational locations within a vertical plane that is normal to a length of an aircraft. The vertical plane passes through the doorway of the aircraft, and at least some of the plurality of different elevational locations are disposed outside a known surface boundary of the aircraft. A variation in the sensed property between two elevational locations is detected, the variation indicative of an elevational position of the known surface boundary. An elevational position of the doorway of the aircraft is determined based upon a known relationship between the known surface boundary and the doorway, and based upon the indicated elevational position of the known surface boundary. The determined elevational position of the doorway is used to guide an aircraft engaging portion of the movable bridge into elevational alignment with the said doorway.

In order to press a brake lining against a friction element connected to a vehicle wheel, the pump is connected on the intake side to the cylinder chamber on the brake-lining side, and on the delivery side to the cylinder chamber facing away from the brake lining. The actuating unit is assigned a control device by which an electric brake request signal is able to be processed, and the electric motor and the element are controllable.

Abstract: An actuating unit (1) for a wheel brake (2) of a motor vehicle has a hydraulic pump (12), which can be driven at variable speeds by an electric motor (11) and supplies pressure fluid from a storage tank (22), and has an element (24), which adjusts a return flow of pressure fluid to the pump (12) and is disposed between the pressure side (13) and the suction side (16) of the pump (12). In addition, a cylinder-piston unit (3) is provided, which is for pressing a brake lining (7) against a friction element (8) connected to a vehicle wheel.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetic device, in particular for a slip-controlled, hydraulic vehicle brake system, having at least a first magnet valve which is closed in its currentless basic position and having at least a second magnet valve which is open in its currentless basic position, the first and second magnet valves being received in receiving bores of a valve block. The invention provides that the first and second magnet valves have structurally identical, one-piece valve housings, in each of which all the magnet valve components are received essentially without any axial protrusion, and that the total length of each of the first and second magnet valves is recessed in the receiving bores of the valve block, and that a nonferromagnetic spacer ring is disposed between a face end, pointing toward the valve seat, of at least one magnet coil and a dividing plane between this magnet coil and the associated pole piece.

Abstract: A hydraulic brake system for a vehicle with an anti-lock arrangement operable by wheel brake pressures are individually variable in front wheel brakes and rear wheel brakes, connected to diagonal brake circuits, of a four-wheeled vehicle, in order to reduce or eliminate a threat of wheel locking. The anti-lock arrangement has at least one return pump per brake circuit. The anti-lock arrangement is equipped with a total of four electrically controllable valves. In each of the brake circuits I, II there is one first valve between the master cylinder and a front wheel brake and one second valve between the master cylinder and the rear wheel brake. All the valves are embodied as normally open valves and are electrically closable. Inlets of each of the return pumps communicate directly with the respective front wheel brakes and indirectly with the rear wheel brakes through throttles. Check valves that open toward the inlets of the return pumps are provided in series with the throttles.

Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable valve that reduces the locking force of the valve has a seat valve, which can be transferred to a closing position counter to the force of a prestressed restoring spring. A valve seat communicates with an inflow side, and a closing member disposed on a tappet communicates on the outflow side of the valve. A magnet armature cooperates with the tappet in a valve dome which communicates with the outflow side. The magnet armature and the tappet are two separate components which positively support one another. On the inflow side, a longitudinal bore of the tappet originates at the closing member, and a first longitudinally movable pin is receive therein largely in a pressure-tight fashion. The cross section of the first pin is at least approximately equivalent to the sealing cross section of the valve seat. The longitudinal bore of the tappet is continued in the magnet armature. A second pin is received in that longitudinal bore.

Abstract: The invention relates to a valve body which is provided for a solenoid valve. The valve body is held between two perforated disks whose holes each have a collar. The two perforated disks are connected to form a valve body holder. In order to connect the two perforated disks, each have tongues which project through holes of the respective other perforated disk and are bent over in such a way that they hold the two perforated disks against one another. The tongues protrude obliquely from the valve body holder with their free ends. They serve as springs which are supported against an end wall face of a valve chamber and press against a valve seat lying opposite the end wall face. The invention constitutes a cost-effective design of a valve body which is integral with a valve spring.

Abstract: A known electromagnetically actuatable valve has a tubular housing sleeve, a through opening radially penetrating the housing sleeve, and inside the housing sleeve, a valve body having a valve seat and an associated movable valve closing member, and a throttle, which comprises a throttle body and a throttle insert built into it having a throttle restriction, which is embodied as a throttle bore. The throttle body is slipped on like a cap over an open end of the housing sleeve. The throttle of this kind, embodied in a complex manner, is expensive and demands an inordinate amount of installation space. To reduce expense and save installation space, the throttle body along with its throttle insert is omitted and the function of the throttle bore is taken on by the through opening, the through opening is embodied as narrow opening in accordance with the throttle function to be produced. The valve can be used in antilock devices of hydraulic brake systems for motor vehicles.

Abstract: A hydraulic brake system including at least one electromagnetically actuatable valve is disposed in a receiving bore. A throttle body at least partly surrounding the valve on one end in the axial direction is provided in the receiving bore and has a throttle restriction in a through bore. In this hydraulic brake system, adjusting the stroke of an armature can be done in a simple manner before the throttle body is installed on the valve. The valve and the throttle body is especially suitable for outlet valves of hydraulic motor-vehicle brake systems.
