Michael Specker has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10683857
    Abstract: A pump device, in particular for a brake system of a motor vehicle, includes two hydraulic chambers, a linear drive, and a pump piston. Each of the chambers has at least two fluid connections. The pump piston interacts with the chambers. The linear drive is embodied as a reluctance drive and includes a longitudinally movable armature, a housing-fastened stator that is configured to receive current, and at least one spring element. The at least one spring element is associated with the armature, and is configured to counteract a drive force of the reluctance drive. The armature is connected to the pump piston.

  • Patent number: 5718489
    Abstract: An electromagnetically actuated valve of a hydraulic unit is received in pressure-tight fashion and mounted without complicated adjustment of the valve stroke. The valve comprises a hydraulic part and an electrical part. The hydraulic part is a pre-mounted unit with a stroke of a seat valve set before insertion into a receiving bore of a metal valve block. The hydraulic part is received in pressure-tight fashion in the valve block by a first swaged connection located between an inlet conduit and an outlet conduit of the receiving bore. A sealing ring that closes off the receiving bore is retained by a radially extending flange of a bushing slipped onto the hydraulic part. The flange is secured to the valve block by a second swaged connection. The hydraulic unit is usable for traction-controlled motor vehicle brake systems.

  • Patent number: 5207089
    Abstract: The method for measuring the cross-sectional area of a nozzle by a pneumatic through-flow method with supercritical pressure ratio measures the volume flow flowing through the nozzle on its input side by a differential pressure measurement at a resistance distance through which a laminar flow passes. Deviations of the temperature of the test medium from a reference value are determined by a temperature sensor and accounted for via a correction factor.
