Publication number: 20240400024Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for controlling a hydraulic pressure in at least one wheel brake of a hydraulic motor vehicle braking system, wherein a system pressure is generated by an electrical pressure supply device and, by control of an in particular normally open inlet valve, having an opening current characteristic curve, a required hydraulic pressure, which is lower than the system pressure, is set in the at least one wheel brake. In order to improve the pressure control, provision is made that the inlet valve is opened by application of an opening current, in particular below the opening current characteristic curve, and is switched over from the opening current to an intermediate current on the opening current characteristic curve.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2022Publication date: December 5, 2024Applicant: Continental Automotive Technologies GmbHInventors: Viktor Reichenbach, Tobias Franke, Alexander Schönbohm, Alexander Michel, Jochen Müller, Marc Lenz, Gururaj Srinivasaiah

Patent number: 10315634Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for adapting a control strategy of a slip-control system of a brake system of a vehicle in a ?-split situation, in which different wheel-specific brake pressures, are set at opposite wheels of a vehicle axle. The resulting brake pressure difference is limited. In some examples, to generate a brake pressure request, a maximum pressure difference value deviating from a reference pressure difference with a predefined tolerance value is determined on a wheel-specific basis for the wheels lying opposite one another. The reference pressure difference corresponds to the value of the current low-pass-filtered brake pressure difference, and the brake pressure request for each wheel is determined as a minimum of the wheel-specific brake pressure determined from the control strategy of the slip-control system, and from the sum of the average brake pressure of the wheel lying opposite and the wheel-specific maximum pressure difference value.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2017Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Continental Teves AG & Co. oHGInventors: Henning Kerber, Mario Roszyk, Jochen Müller, Arne Cornils, Dieter Burkhard

Patent number: 10293797Abstract: A method for avoiding false excitations of a slip control system comprises monitoring of a wheel speed signal for a predefined first monitoring time period for the start of a negative half-wave of an oscillation applied to a vehicle wheel, when a brake pressure gradient initiated by a brake start rises above a predetermined threshold. A ruck signal is derived from the wheel speed signal. An acceration signal is derived from the wheel speed signal during a predetermined second monitoring period. The wheel speed signal is monitored for a turning point of the ruck signal and a start of the acceleration signal. The oscillation imposed on the vehicle wheel is identified as a braking-induced vibration, and slip control is not carried out when the turning point of the ruck signal and the re-acceleration of the wheel are detected.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2016Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Continental Teves AG & Co. oHGInventors: Manuel Kasten, Henning Kerber, Jochen Müller, Mario Roszyk

Patent number: 9545023Abstract: A cabinet for housing electronic plug-in cards has front and rear card baskets for inserting plug-in cards and first and second vertical backplanes. The front side of the first backplane faces the front of the cabinet and the front side of the second backplane faces the back of the cabinet. A distance piece connects the two backplanes and a counterbore is disposed in at least one of the rear sides of the two backplanes. The depth of the counterbore or the residual thicknesses of the backplane after drilling the counterbore is sized such that the distance between the front side of the second backplane and the front of the cabinet is a predetermined value. This ensures that the plug-in cards pushed onto the second backplane are completely received inside the rear card basket and the front plate of the plug-in cards ends flush with the rear card basket.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2014Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: Pentair Technical Solutions GMBHInventors: Dietmar Mann, Sergej Dizel, Dietmar Gauges, Jochen Müller

Publication number: 20150150432Abstract: A domestic appliance includes a door configured to pivot about a horizontal axis of rotation so as to assume a substantially vertical position when closed to thereby close a treatment chamber. The axis of rotation is arranged behind a center of gravity of the door in a depthwise direction of the domestic appliance. When closed, the door is locked by a locking arrangement. A door weight compensation system damps an opening movement and/or assists a closing movement of the door and is configured to enable the door in an unlocked state to assume a partially open position, in which the door is open to some degree, substantially as a result of a weight-induced force exerted by the door.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2013Publication date: June 4, 2015Inventors: Christian Ertl, Markus Höpfl, Markus Konrad, Walter Lippert, Jochen Müller, Christoph Thiel
