Abstract: A control apparatus for an anti-slide system of a rail vehicle includes a slip control device, which is designed to determine a slip between the wheel and a rail operatively connected thereto from the sensed state variables, the slip control device being designed to actuate the actuator by the output device. The control apparatus further has a slip limiting device, which is designed to specify a slip range for the slip control device, wherein the slip limiting device has at least a first operating mode and a second operating mode, which can be switched over by an operating mode signal, wherein a first slip range is assigned to the first operating mode and a second slip range is assigned to the second operating mode. A corresponding control method makes control of an actuation value for the actuator possible in order to adjust the slip in a predetermined slip range.

Abstract: A cartridge for a laundry appliance includes an outer housing having an interior chamber therein. The outer housing includes a primary axis and a secondary axis that is perpendicular to the primary axis. A pump is contained within the outer housing that selectively delivers a laundry chemistry from the interior chamber to a dispensing outlet of the outer housing. The dispensing outlet is defined within a contoured edge of the outer housing and orients the dispensing outlet at an oblique angle with respect to the primary and secondary axes. A rotational drive is operated by an external actuator. The rotational drive is positioned within the outer housing and in operable communication with the pump. The rotational drive aligns with a drive aperture defined within a wall of the outer housing for receiving the external actuator.

Abstract: A method and a control device determine a position-related braking ability of a vehicle. A first vehicle determines at least one piece of position-related information of a route section, the at least one piece of position-related information of the route section being information relating to the braking ability on the route section. The first vehicle transmits the at least one piece of position-related information to a receiver, the receiver being at least one second vehicle, whereby the braking curves of at least one rail vehicle are adapted according to the situation, thus allowing safety on the route section and the utilization of the section to be improved.

Abstract: The invention relates to a brake system of a rail vehicle having at least one pneumatic brake actuator, a pneumatic braking device for generating a brake pressure, an electro-pneumatic braking device for generating a brake pressure, and a controller. In the event of rapid, forcible, or emergency braking, the pneumatic braking device or the electro-pneumatic braking device provides a basic brake pressure, and the brake pressure is changed by the electro-pneumatic braking device, starting from the basic brake pressure provided, depending in particular on a load and/or a speed.

Abstract: A device regulates a pneumatic brake pressure of a vehicle and includes an inlet opening configured to be connected to a pressure accumulator, at least one outlet opening configured to be connected to a brake device to activate same, and at least two actuator elements arranged between the inlet opening and the at least one outlet opening and configured to influence a brake pressure between the inlet opening and the at least one outlet opening. In addition, a control device, a system, a brake system, a method and a computer program product are disclosed.
