Patent number: 11970146Abstract: The invention relates to an electronically controllable secondary brake system (46), operated by pressure medium, useable as both as a parking brake system and an auxiliary brake system, with spring brake cylinders (68a, 68b) arranged on wheel brakes of at least one vehicle axle (8), with a directly or indirectly electronically controllable brake control valve (56). The brake force of the spring brake cylinder (68a, 68b) can be reduced by a feed of pressure medium and can be increased by a discharge of pressure medium, and with an electronic brake control unit (48) for controlling the brake control valve (56) dependent on the current value of a brake value signal (SBW). The brake control valve (56) is configured as a 3/3-way proportional valve with a pressure medium inlet, a pressure medium outlet, and a working connector, which is connected via a working line (60, 66) to the spring brake cylinders.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: ZF CV Systems Europe BVInventors: Michael Haverkamp, Lars Volker

Patent number: 5572171Abstract: A signal distribution arrangement having a central signal source and a plurality of signal receivers located along a common path. Each of the signal receivers is coupled in communication with the signal source by a line arranged within the common path. To eliminate distortion of the signal due to outside interference sources, each of the lines is arranged within the common path so that it traverses the common path an odd number of times between the signal source and the receiver to which it is coupled, and traverses the common path an even number of times between the receiver to which it is coupled and the end of the common path. Within each segment of the common path, the relative propagation sensitivity of each line is controlled such that the product of the number of times the line traverses that segment multiplied the relative propagation sensitivity of the line is the same for all lines.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1994Date of Patent: November 5, 1996Assignee: Dornier GmbHInventors: Michael Volker, Rolf Zahn
