  • Patent number: 10351111
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for controlling the braking of a vehicle. The brake control system includes a first sensor for detecting motion data of the vehicle and an electronic control unit connected to the first sensor. The electronic control unit is configured to determine that the vehicle is not in motion based on the motion data. The electronic control unit is configured to predict a brake application event that requires application of a braking force to prevent the vehicle from moving and cause brakes of the vehicle to apply the braking force to prevent the vehicle from moving based on the brake application event.

  • Publication number: 20080029647
    Abstract: Reinforced cover for cut-outs in an aerodynamic contour of a vehicle, with a first attachment section 1a attachable to a structural element (2,5) of the vehicle (11); a second elastic section 1c which covers the cut-out (4) which is located between a fixed part 5 and a moving part (6, 12) of the vehicle (11), and provided with a low-friction layer (8) on its inner surface (1e), which comprises a first area (1i) in a rectangular configuration and a second area (1j) with a second cross-section smaller than that of the first area (1i); an outer surface (1k) with a fiberglass layer (7a); a main internal body (9) of a flexible material, a transition section (1g) thickened between the first and the second section, (1a, 1c); flushing the outer surface (1k) of the second section (1c) with the outer surface (5a).

  • Patent number: 4190082
    Abstract: An adjustable distribution valve comprises a body defining first and second axially-aligned branches and a third branch extending laterally thereof, substantially in the form of a T. A plug element is fitted in the passage formed by the axially-aligned branches and is movable therewithin. The plug element is bounded by a cylindrical surface of diameter equal to the diameter of the passage, and two opposed concave surfaces which intersect the cylindrical surface at a point substantially halfway along the plug element and at opposite ends of the plug element at positions which are diametrically opposite said point.
