Abstract: A brake system for a motor vehicle has electromechanical wheel brakes, a brake operating unit and a central brake control unit. The wheel brakes each have a local brake control unit. The central brake control unit is connected to the brake operating unit and the local brake control units via a first data connection. The brake operating unit is connected to the local brake control unit of at least one wheel brake via a second data connection. In a normal operating mode the central brake control unit determines at least one brake demand from first operating information, received via the first data connection and transmits control signals corresponding to the brake demand to the local brake control units. In a fallback operating mode the local brake control units actuate the respective wheel brakes basis on second operating information, received via the second data connection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a silicon carbide substrate for use as a crystal seed, comprising a monocrystalline silicon carbide disk covered with a protective oxide layer. The protective oxide layer is intended to be removed to expose an ideal, clean surface of the monocrystalline silicon carbide disk. The present invention also relates to a method of producing at least one bulk silicon carbide single-crystal by sublimation growth using the silicon carbide substrate with protective oxide layer as a seed crystal. The protective oxide layer is removed from the seed crystal surface to expose the underlying monocrystalline silicon carbide disk by a back-etching process performed in-situ in the crystal growth crucible, i.e. after the seed crystal is arranged inside the growth crucible and before the sublimation deposition on the growth surface starts.
