  • Patent number: 9333957
    Abstract: 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. The invention also relates to a corresponding brake system.

  • Patent number: 9175480
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9097025
    Abstract: A panel support post comprises a base securable to a mounting surface and an upright member extending substantially vertically from the base. The upright member has a first clamping surface formed by an upright surface thereof. The panel support post further comprises a clamping member having a bottom edge vertically spaced above said base and having a second clamping surface thereon in opposed spaced apart relation to the first clamping surface, the clamping member being drawable towards the first clamping surface. The first and second clamping surfaces are located vertically spaced above the mounting surface so as to support the barrier panel vertically spaced apart from the mounting surface.

  • Publication number: 20140110994
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a braking system, including a brake booster, which is divided into at least one vacuum chamber and at least one working chamber by at least one movable partition, wherein at least one vacuum chamber is connected, or can be connected, to a vacuum source for creating a vacuum, and further including at least one sensor, which detects at least one variable such as travel and/or angle and/or force of a brake pedal actuation and/or a brake pressure that is built up in at least one main brake cylinder connected to the brake booster in accordance with a brake pedal actuation. According to the invention, the remaining vacuum in at least one vacuum chamber is estimated on the basis of at least one of the detected variables by considering actuations already performed. The invention further relates to a braking system and to the use thereof.
