  • Patent number: 11333482
    Abstract: A method for sensing travel by a travel-sensing arrangement for a brake system, wherein the travel-sensing arrangement has a first magnetic angle sensor, and the method includes determining a first field strength in a first direction and determining a second field strength in a second direction by the first angle sensor, wherein the travel-sensing arrangement has a second magnetic angle sensor which is arranged at a predetermined distance from the first angle sensor, and the method further includes determining a first field strength in a first direction and determining a second field strength in a second direction by the second angle sensor. A travel-sensing arrangement, to a brake system having a travel-sensing arrangement, to a motor-vehicle and to a use of the travel-sensing arrangement and the method in a brake system.

  • Patent number: 10254130
    Abstract: A sensor arrangement for measuring a rotor position of an electric motor, in particular of a motor vehicle control device, wherein the sensor arrangement is constructed as a sensor arrangement operating without contact, which includes at least one permanent magnet and at least one magnetic field sensor, wherein the permanent magnet has at least one depression in at least one top surface facing the magnetic field sensor. A magnetization device for magnetizing a permanent magnet of the sensor arrangement is also disclosed. The use of the sensor arrangement in a motor vehicle control device of a braking system of a motor vehicle is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 5013205
    Abstract: In conventional towing vehicles the front wheels of the aircraft are pulled or pushed onto a lifting shovel or the like and the aircraft or the towing vehicle must be maintained in motion so that the front wheel assembly can be acted upon by undesirable forces.In order to ensure gentle and reliable retention and lifting of the front wheel assembly from a state of standstill as well as equally reliable and gentle towing away of the aircraft, there are provided for each front wheel four gripper arms which engage the periphery of the front wheel. The rear gripper arms are pivotable inwardly in a vertical plane. The idle positions of all gripper arms are selected by a computer which is programmed in dependency on the respective aircraft type.
