  • Patent number: 8376475
    Abstract: A device for supplying pressure to an actuation unit of a vehicle brake system, in particular to a vehicle brake system of the ‘brake-by-wire’ type, including a pneumatic motor-and-pump assembly with a pump and a motor driving the pump, wherein the motor-and-pump assembly is controlled by an electronic control unit depending on a pressure level or pressure difference in a pneumatic brake booster of the actuation unit, with the pressure level in a chamber or a difference in pressure between two chambers of the brake booster being detected by a sensor. In order to maintain the availability of the service brake function as high as possible and to obtain a maximum possible redundancy, the control unit, used to control the motor-and-pump assembly includes a logic module and a power module, which are arranged separately of each other.

  • Patent number: 6791290
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device in an electronic driving dynamics control system, comprising an electromechanic transducer, especially an electric motor, a hydraulic pump, and an electric actuating unit for the transducer, said transducer including a magnetic or magnetizable stator and a rotor, as well as connections for connecting the actuating unit, and a commutation device for the actuation of electromagnetic windings of the rotor, said invention inhering the special feature that the commutation device comprises three or more commutating elements that are electrically connected to the respective connections so that the windings of the rotor can be actuated individually by the actuating unit, with at least one commutating element being connected to a change-over element that provides for an additional connection for connecting a rotational speed measurement devices.
