Abstract: A hydraulic brake system with anti-lock control comprises a main cylinder connected to a reservoir, wheel brakes connected to the main cylinder by way of brake lines, and a recirculating pump, a suction side of which is connected to the wheel brakes by way of a first suction line. By way of a second suction line, the pump is connected to a pressure source. To control the pressure medium supply from a precharging device or other pressure source to the suction side of the recirculating pump as a function of the pressure in the second suction line, a hydraulically actuated valve is used. The inlet of the valve is connected to the precharging device via the pressure source, the outlet of the valve is connected to the suction side of the recirculating pump. The output pressure of the valve acts in a valve closing direction such that the valve closes once a pressure on the suction side of the recirculating pump exceeds a certain value.

Abstract: The recirculating pumps of brake systems that are equipped with a precharging device or other pressure sources, the pressure of which at least temporarily reaches the suction side of the recirculating pump, are highly stressed and consequently subjected to premature wear by this pressure. Over time, this results in large leaks which may cause damage to the pump motors. Consequently, the invention proposes to control the pressure medium supply from the precharging device or other pressure source to the suction side of the recirculating pump as a function of the pressure in this connecting line.

Abstract: An earthquake detection device with an innovative mechanism capable of sensing vibrations. The device is an open electrical circuit that, when triggered by sufficient vibration, becomes a closed circuit, thus enabling a variety of electrical appliances. The inner mechanism of the present invention works much like a conventional pulley. A weighted object, when agitated by sufficient vibration, causes a balance beam to fall out of a delicate equilibrium, thereby causing a hammer to fall on two receptacles which carry the electrical circuit, thus closing the circuit and enabling the electrical appliances.
