  • Publication number: 20100302029
    Abstract: A control unit determines whether an accident of a motorcycle has occurred in that corresponding measurement data from a sensor system are analyzed. Following this, a fully automatic emergency call is emitted. The emergency call is transmitted via a voice channel after the emergency call data have been subjected to a media conversion.

  • Patent number: 5195810
    Abstract: An anti-lock hydraulic brake system is described having a bypass line to a pump used to evacuate and pressurize the wheel brakes during antilock control. A pressure control valve in the bypass line regulates the pressure in the pressure line to the master cylinder pressure level. A low pressure accumulator absorbs recirculated fluid flow from the bypass line. A pressure operated valve opens only when a difference in pressure between the master cylinder pressure and the pump outlet pressure line pressure develops. The consequence is that a non-return valve a and pressure operated valve in combination bring about isolation of the master cylinder during antilock control to prevent brake pedal reaction to pump pressure developed during a braking pressure control operation. When the accumulator is fully charged, the bypass line is closed by means of a shut-off valve operated by an accumulator piston so that the pump delivers fluid via the pressure valve (18) back into the master cylinder (1).

  • Patent number: 4922120
    Abstract: A slip-controlled hydraulic brake system with improved operational reliability during the slip control phase of operation has a master cylinder having shortened overall axial length. The master cylinder includes a valve-opening mechanism of one central control valve supported on the bottom of the longitudinal bore of the master cylinder, and the valve-opening mechanism of another central control valve supported on the secondary piston wherein during a slip control action, in the presence of a predetermined travel of the pistons of the master cylinder, a force component is generated that increases the reliability of the opening of the central control valves.
