Fluid-pressure and analogous brake systems inventions

20090278401 - Electromechanical brake system with distributed architecture: A brake system of a vehicle includes a plurality of electromechanical brake actuators (EBAs) proximate the wheels of the vehicle. Each EBA includes a power device for effectuating braking of an associated wheel, and electronics to generate a drive signal for the power device. The brake system may further include... Agent: Snell & Wilmer L.L.P. (goodrich)

20090273228 - Motor vehicle braking installation: Motor vehicle braking installation comprising a master cylinder (10) operated by a brake pedal and connected to a brake fluid reservoir (30) and to feed circuits (26, 28) supplying the wheel brakes, characterized in that the brake fluid reservoir (30) is mounted on the master cylinder and is connected to... Agent: Michael Best & Friedrich LLP

20090273229 - Device and method for brake pressure regulation: The present invention relates to a braking force regulating system for a vehicle, including at least one discharge valve assigned to a wheel brake cylinder. The discharge valve is a constantly adjustable valve.... Agent: Kenyon & Kenyon LLP

20090273230 - Braking booster system leak diagnostics: A leak diagnostic system for a vehicle comprises a calculation module and a diagnostic enabling module. The calculation module calculates a decay rate of a brake booster vacuum. The diagnostic enabling module selectively enables the decay rate calculation based on mass airflow (MAF) into an engine and engine vacuum.... Agent: Harness Dickey & Pierce, P.L.C

20090273231 - Method and control device for stopping a motor vehicle without jolting: A method of stopping a motor vehicle without jolting is described, which is characterized in that a sum of the hydraulic fluid pressures generated by a foot-force-actuable brake system and acting upon the braking devices of the motor vehicle during the stopping operation is reduced in a driver-independent manner by... Agent: Macmillan, Sobanski & Todd, LLC

20090273232 - Electronic braking system and method for drawbar trailers: A system and method for braking a drawbar trailer having a front axle and one or more further axles, each axle having at least two wheels, includes first sensors which sense the axle load of at least one axle, and second sensors which sense the rotational wheel speeds. Brakes actuatable... Agent: Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP Intellectual Property Department

20090261649 - Brake booster: The present invention provides a brake booster in which an excellent pedal feeling can be provided even though a brake fluid pressure control unit is disposed between the brake booster and a wheel cylinder. The brake booster according to the present invention performs different methods for controlling a booster based... Agent: Wenderoth, Lind & Ponack, L.L.P.
