Abstract: The fundamental idea of the invention consists of the construction of the test device from a stationary inner basic structure (1, 7 to 11) that juts out from the wall of the test bench and houses the drive shaft (13) for the fan to be tested, from mobile, interchangeable external housing modules (18 to 24) which can be aligned in relation to one another by means of connected optical elements (32, 33), from interchangeable fittings (41 to 44, 48) for conducting air and noise reduction, in addition to interchangeable measuring devices (38 to 40) that are connected to a modular telemetry unit for determining performance data and aerodynamic and acoustic conditions required by the fan and the fittings.

Abstract: A safety pedal system for an automotive vehicle is provided that includes, but is not limited to a pedal mounted in a pedal mounting arrangement arrangeable to at least partly release the pedal from the pedal mounting arrangement in event of a collision. The safety pedal system further includes, but is not limited to a triggering device arranged to receive a collision event signal and in response thereto trigger release of the pedal from the pedal mounting arrangement. The triggering device may also include, but is not necessarily limited to a pyrotechnical device arranged to exert a force on the pedal mounting arrangement thereby triggering release of the pedal from the pedal mounting arrangement.

Abstract: An electromechanically operable parking brake system is provided for motor vehicles as well as to a respective method of operation The system includes, but is not limited to a brake device that is lockable by a brake module, a control unit that is electrically coupled to the brake module and further adapted to generate a first control signal for generating a first brake application force, and a safeguard mechanism is adapted to generate a second control signal for applying a second brake application force. The second brake application force is larger in magnitude than the first brake application force.
