Abstract: The present invention relates to a brake control system for vehicles with hydraulic brakes, for preventing wheel blocking and/or spinning. The system is characterised in that the brake system is separable, by means of a valve (3), one for each wheel, into a primary circuit (4) and a secondary circuit (5). Sensors (6) are provided on each wheel for sensing the rotational speed thereof. A control device compares the speeds sensed by said sensor. In the event of a sensed abnormal condition (wheel blocking or spinning) of one or more wheels, the control device activates the respective valve. A pressure control system in the respective secondary circuit controls the pressure therein, independently of the pressure in the primary circuit, in order to cancel the abnormal condition of the corresponding wheel.

Abstract: A sterilizing apparatus for liquid, preferably water, in which the liquid passes through a sterilizing chamber only when the apparatus has sufficient sterilizing capability. The apparatus is provided within ultraviolet-light source, a heat sensing means, and a light intensity sensing means, the latter two means being connected to a valve controlling the flow of liquid through the apparatus. A filter is also provided through which the liquid passes before it reaches the light source.
