Abstract: Disclosed is a motor-pump assembly (1) for a brake actuating device of a motor vehicle brake system with a pneumatic brake booster. An electric motor (3) drives a double diaphragm pump (2) with two working diaphragms (4) which are located opposite one another. Air expelled from the working spaces (7) is directed into an interior space (22) surrounding a crank drive (8) of the pump housing (5). An air outlet unit (13) permits low-noise expulsion of the air from the interior space 22 by deflecting the air. In order to make available a low-noise, cost-reduced motor-pump assembly the eccentrics (9) each have an unbalance weight (25) integrally molded onto the eccentric (9).

Abstract: An apparatus (1) serves for linear illumination of a moving product web (6), the apparatus (1) having at least one light source (4) emitting light. In order to achieve high luminance in a linear subregion of the product web (6), at least a portion of the light emitted by the light source (4) is reflected towards the product web (6) by at least one tubular reflector (5). The tubular reflector (5) in this case has at least one light exit slit (7) which is assigned to the product web (6). Moreover, the tubular reflector has at least one observation slit (8) which lies opposite the light exit slit (7). The illuminated product web (6) can be observed through this observation slit (8) by means of a line camera (2).

Abstract: A device for the brake application of a motor vehicle comprising a master cylinder and a pneumatic brake booster, with one of the pistons of the master cylinder having a stepped design with two differently sized hydraulically active effective surfaces, and change-over of the effective surfaces takes place by means of a valve assembly upon failure of the brake booster. An annular chamber, delimited by the stepped piston and the housing, is connectable by means of the valve assembly either to the pressure chamber associated with the stepped piston or to a pressure fluid reservoir. The valve assembly comprises a first and a second valve, which are switchable depending on the pressure of the working chamber of the brake booster. The first valve in its activated position connects the pressure chamber to the annular chamber, and the second valve in its activated position closes the connection between the annular chamber and the pressure fluid reservoir.

Abstract: The invention relates to a master cylinder with a pressure chamber formed in a housing of the master cylinder and a reservoir bore for accommodating a pressure fluid reservoir, a valve with a closing element being provided which due to a pressure difference prevailing between the pressure chamber and the pressure fluid reservoir can be moved into an opening position or a closing position, the valve in its opening position allowing a pressure fluid flow from the pressure fluid reservoir into the pressure chamber and throttling or preventing, in its closing position, a pressure fluid flow from the pressure chamber into the pressure fluid reservoir. Means are provided which maintain the closing body in its opening position when it is acted upon by a closing pressure difference during vacuum filling of the brake system.

Abstract: Vacuum brake booster for motor vehicles comprising a booster housing whose interior is subdivided by a movable wall into a vacuum chamber and a working chamber, a control valve that controls a pressure difference acting upon the movable wall and is accommodated in a control housing that carries the movable wall, said control valve being composed of two concentrically arranged sealing seats and an elastically deformable valve member, wherein the control housing includes a cavity through which a cross member extends and delimits the axial movability of a valve piston relative to the control housing, and the cross member includes at least one projection made of an elastic material in the area where the cross member rests against the booster housing. At least one projection made of an elastic material is provided in the area of points of abutment between the control housing and the cross member.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for adapting air values from a substitute performance graph to currently prevailing variables of state of ambient air. The air values are used for controlling mixture preparation if pulsations of air occur in an intake tube of an internal combustion engine instead of using measured values supplied by an air meter. The air values are adapted by multiplying the air values by an adaptation factor. In one embodiment the adaptation factor is calculated by dividing a measured value supplied by the air meter in the intake tube of the internal combustion engine by an air value taken from the substitute performance graph and subjecting the adaptation factor to sliding averaging, at times when no pulsations are present; and using a lambda-control-average value as the adaptation factor and subjecting the adaptation factor to sliding averaging, at times when pulsations are present.
