Patent number: 9333957Abstract: A method in which a brake system for a motor vehicle is controlled and/or regulated. The motor vehicle having at least one electrically regenerative brake and a pressure-medium-operated, in particular a hydraulic brake system with friction brakes, wherein the wheel brakes assigned to the individual wheels are arranged in at least two brake circuits which can be charged with a pressure medium by a first brake pressure generator, in particular a tandem master brake cylinder, and wherein each brake circuit includes at least one pressure accumulator and at least two electronically activatable hydraulic valves. During a braking process with the one or more electrically regenerative brakes, by suitable activation of at least one hydraulic valve, at a point in time, the pressure medium is discharged only into precisely one predetermined pressure accumulator.

Patent number: 9175480Abstract: A ridge vent has an elongated body, a plurality of ventilation slots, and a separation line that permits easy separation of an outer edge portion of the elongated body. Each of a first set of holes adjacent the separation line has a downwardly extending cylindrical body. Each of a second set of holes adjacent the separation line has a mating cylindrical body adapted to engage and nest within the downwardly extending cylindrical body of one of the second set of holes. Moreover, a width of the ridge vent may be reduced by separating the outer edge portion from the elongated body, overlapping it with the elongated body, and engaging the mating cylindrical bodies with the downwardly extending cylindrical bodies.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2012Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: Ross Manufacturing, LLCInventor: Scott Ross Polston
