| 20100210417 | HANDLE-MOUNTED PARKING BRAKE DEVICE FOR AN ENGINE-POWERED WHEELED VEHICLE - A handle-mounted parking brake device includes a parking brake lever movable between a first position, where a brake unit is disposed at a non-braking position for permitting rotation of a wheel axle of a vehicle, and a second position, where the brake unit is disposed at a braking position, and a cutoff switch having a mechanical switch body displaceable with movement of the parking brake lever between switch-on and switch-off positions, where a condenser discharge ignition is powered by and cut off from a DC power supply, respectively. Premature activation of a starter motor can be avoided to ensure cutoff of an engine when the vehicle is in a parking brake state so as to reliably prevent inadvertent operation to drive the vehicle. | 08-19-2010 |

| 20090111654 | METHOD FOR THE AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF A NEUTRAL POSITION AND A PARKING LOCK OF A MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSMISSION - The invention concerns a method for the automatic control of a neutral position and a parking lock of an automatic or automated motor vehicle transmission, such that the neutral position and the parking lock of the transmission provided in order to immobilize the motor vehicle can be engaged as a function of a drive setting selected by the driver of the motor vehicle using a selector device, and as a function of other operating parameters of the vehicle. In addition, the invention concerns a motor vehicle controlled by the method. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090192019 | FOUNDATION BRAKE HILL START AIDE SYSTEM - An exemplary embodiment of a Hill Start Aide system for a vehicle includes a brake system. The brake system including a brake actuator for manually actuating the brake system. The brake system is selectively configurable in a stopped configuration, where the brake system is manually maintained via the brake actuator such that a vehicle road wheel speed is about zero rpm, a released configuration, where the brake system will not generally inhibit rotation of at least one vehicle road wheel, and a control stop configuration, where the vehicle road wheel speed is about zero rpm. The Hill Start Aide system also includes a controller for at least partially controlling the brake system. The controller will selectively send a signal to maintain the brake system in the control stopped configuration when the brake actuator is manually released. The controller will send a signal to the brake system to release the brakes when a predetermined amount of time has elapsed after a transmission is manually shifted to a neutral configuration while the brake system is in the control stopped configuration. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20110039658 | Hold Function for Temporarily Holding an Operationally Ready Motor Vehicle in a Stationary State - A method is provided for operating a hold function for temporarily holding an operationally ready motor vehicle in a stationary state by use of a service brake. The service brake is actuated by electrohydraulic, electropneumatic or electromechanical mechanisms. The service brake can be activated within the framework of the hold function, when the speed of the vehicle is less than a preset first speed threshold, and the presence of the driver in the driver's seat is detected. The presence of the driver in the driver's seat is detected as a function of the signal of a flap sensor for detecting an opened or closed position of the flap, assigned to this flap sensor. | 02-17-2011 |

| 20090186744 | Method and Device for Actuating a Parking Brake - Presented is a method for actuating a parking brake for a vehicle wheel. The parking brake includes a drive, a force transmitting device, and a device for sensing an application force component of the parking brake. The method includes minimizing friction losses and ageing losses of the force transmitting device, and sensing the application force component of the parking brake by performing a force measurement directly on the drive. Also presented is a device for actuating a parking brake for a motor vehicle wheel. The device includes a drive, a force transmitting device, and a device for sensing an application force component of the parking brake. The device for sensing the application force component includes a device for minimizing the friction losses and ageing losses of the force transmitting device, and a device for measuring force directly on the drive. | 07-23-2009 |

| 20090280959 | PNEUMATIC VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A BRAKE SYSTEM OF SAID TYPE - The invention relates to a pneumatic brake system | 11-12-2009 |
| 20100004095 | Brake Regulation System for Motor Vehicles - A brake regulation system for motor vehicles is provided with an electronic control unit, by which an automatic parking brake function can be activated in the stationary phase of the motor vehicle and can be deactivated upon reaching a predetermined triggering condition. The control unit can determine in a wheel selective manner the coefficient of friction, or rather the adhesion between the tires and the roadway at the location of the motor vehicle, which is held so as to be stationary by use of the parking brake function. In the presence of different coefficients of friction or adhesion coefficients at the right and left wheel of at least one driven axle, the triggering condition is adapted in the direction of a longer hold of the brake pressure. | 01-07-2010 |
