Abstract: A design support apparatus includes: an input unit configured to acquire design information related to a target product; an extraction unit configured to extract, based on a classification axis that is a rule for classifying a phrase or a numerical value related to a component, a function, or a requirement specification in the target product and that is stored in a classification axis storage unit, the phrase or the numerical value related to the component, the function, or the requirement specification from the design information; a recognition unit configured to recognize a relationship between the extracted phrases or between the extracted numerical values related to the component, the function, or the requirement specification based on a content structure of the design information and a co-occurrence; an association unit configured to associate the relationship between the phrases or between the numerical values; and an output unit.

Abstract: A method for estimating an admission pressure prevailing between a main brake cylinder and an intake valve of a wheel brake cylinder of a motor vehicle brake system, with the admission pressure being estimated, taking into account a run-on voltage of a clocked-mode motor of a pump for recirculating brake fluid from an accumulator, located at the output end of the wheel brake cylinder, to the main brake cylinder of the brake system, and also taking into account an accumulator pressure determined in the accumulator.
