Abstract: A space station includes a housing that defines an interior space. An inner chamber is located in the interior space and defines an inner cavity that is sealable from the remainder of the interior space. At least one bulkhead is arranged in the interior space to partition the interior space into at least two compartments that are hermetically sealable from one another. One compartment can be accessed from another compartment via the inner cavity of the inner chamber. The inner cavity is sealable against each compartment. Openings in an outer surface of the housing enable crew members to leave a damaged compartment through the opening. Thus, alternative routes exist to leave a damaged compartment, i.e., either through the inner cavity or through the opening in the outer surface of the housing. When one compartment is damaged, the adjacent compartments are still operative because they are sealed from the damaged compartment.

Abstract: A hydraulic motorcycle braking system is disclosed. In the hydraulic motorcycle braking system a pump suction valve, which is situated in a braking circuit that does not contain an isolating valve or a change-over valve, has a higher opening pressure than a pump suction valve which is situated in a braking circuit provided with an isolating valve and a change-over valve. Accordingly, pressure oscillations initiated during the start-up of the pump cannot have a retroactive effect or only have a slight retroactive effect on the actuated brake master cylinder.

To achieve the simplest possible assembly of the non-return valve (9), the valve seat (11) is assembled from several special valve seat segments (13,14).

Abstract: Disclosed are hydraulic/electronic control units (1, 2) for an electronic brake control system. A hydraulic/electronic control unit of current ABS/TCS/ESP systems essentially includes a central hydraulic block (6) and an electronic control unit (1) including control electronics on a control circuit board (4). The circuit board (4) is structured in such a way that it is insulated completely towards the outside on at least one first side (28) and includes an essentially smooth surface. Thus it is possible to use the hydraulic block (6) for cooling the circuit board (4).

Abstract: A vehicle steering system for motor vehicles has a steering handle operable by the driver and connected to steerable vehicle wheels in terms of effect to determine a direction of driving. The vehicle steering system includes a hydraulic working cylinder having two directions of effect, as well as a hydraulic pressure source, which applies hydraulic pressure to a valve assembly. The valve assembly controls the magnitude of the hydraulic pressure conveyed to the working cylinder and determines the direction of effect of the working cylinder. The valve assembly has two separated valves, the first valve determining the direction of effect of the working cylinder, while the second valve controls the working pressure for the hydraulic working cylinder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a motor/pump unit, especially for slip-controlled motor vehicle brake systems, including an accommodating member for hydraulically active components, an internal gear pump arranged in a bore of the accommodating member and comprising pump components such as a pinion/internal gear combination arranged between two housing parts, wherein the pump components form a pre-assembled unit, and including a motor for driving the internal gear pump. An object of the invention is to devise a motor/pump unit, which allows a space-saving and low-cost integration of an internal gear pump in an accommodating member. This object is achieved in that the housing parts can be arranged preliminarily by at least one securing element in such a fashion that the final alignment of the housing parts relative to each other takes place when the unit is inserted into the accommodating member.

To safeguard an effective separation of media within the hydraulic fluid accumulator and, thus, a significant increase in its functional safety, the present invention arranges for the second media separation element to be embodied by a metal piston delimiting a chamber that can be vented in the housing.
