Abstract: An orthopedic screw fastener system which includes at least two screws and at least one bone plate. At least one screw is a locking screw comprising a screw head and a screw shank, the screw head being provided with a thread. At least one other screw is a non-locking screw comprising a non-threaded (i.e., smooth) screw head and a screw shank. The at least one bone plate has a thickness and it has at least two through-bores which are able to receive screws. The plate has two or more through-openings, each formed by at least two through-bores, each through-bore being defined by a midpoint and by a radius, and the through-bores are offset relative to each other and intersect each other in such a way that intersection lines and/or intersection surfaces extend into the depth of the through-opening.

Abstract: When a differential speed determined from the wheel speeds has superimposed thereon a frequency typical of drive train vibrations, a vibration signal is generated. When the vibration signal exceeds a threshold, a torsional moment based on the difference between the engine speed and the differential speed is used to modify activation times of the brake pressure control valves so that the drive train vibrations decay.

Abstract: The invention relates to a drive slip control system in which the driven wheels are braked when spinning. Desired braking torques for the driven wheels are calculated using the actual speeds of the driven wheels and the desired speeds of the driven wheels. A first controller generates a first braking torque value MB1 using the difference .omega..sub.D in the actual speeds and the difference .omega.*.sub.D in the desired speeds. A second controller generates a second braking torque value MB2 using the sum .omega..sub.s of the actual speeds and the sum .omega.*.sub.s of the desired speeds. Both controllers have an integral component and a proportional component. The desired left braking torque MB.sub.L is calculated using the sum MB1+MB2. The desired right braking torque MB.sub.R is calculated using the difference MB2-MB1. The desired torques are then converted to control times for the brake pressure control valves.

Abstract: A drive slip control system for the driven wheels of a motor vehicle is disclosed in which the differential is blocked by the action of the brakes. With the aid of the difference in the rate of rotation of the driven wheels and with the aid of the engine rpm a PID controller and a damping action generate signals that correspond to braking moments which are converted into valve control times and generate a brake pressure at a specific brake.

Abstract: A two-channel antiblocking system for the driven wheels of an axle in which either an electronic decoupling system is connected downstream of the channels, or the channels are fed the sum (channel 1) or the difference (channel 2) of the wheel speed signals, specific controllers being used for the sum and difference, and the outputs of these controllers being on the one hand added to the actuating signal for the first channel and, on the other hand, subtracted from the actuating signal for the second channel. The aim of both measures is to compensate at least partially the coupling, caused by the differential, that is present between two drive wheels.

Abstract: A self-supporting motor-vehicle body includes outer lateral side members (sills) on a substructure in the region of the passenger cell, and front and rear side members which are angularly offset relative to a longitudinal center axis of the vehicle and respectively located at a vehicle forward structure and at a vehicle rearward structure. The front and rear side members adjoin the lateral side members via a bent portion. In order to provide stiffening of the body, struts are secured to the substructure of the body so as each to be fastened at one end to a lateral side member, and directed towards a middle region of the vehicle with their other end fastened once again to the substructure of the body. A front strut is guided from each of the two lateral side members into the vehicle forward structure and/or a rear strut is guided from each of the two lateral side members into the vehicle rearward structure, with each strut preferably being aligned at an angle of approximately 45.degree.

Abstract: A multi-layer sound- and vibration-absorbing covering for vehicle body parts which consists of a layer of a springy porous material fixed to the body which is covered off by an adherent heavy coating; the porous layer receives a viscous damping mass which wets at least the walls of the pores of the porous material.
