A brake system has a wheel brake and is operable under a non-failure normal braking mode and a manual push-through mode. The system includes a master cylinder operable by a brake pedal during a manual push-through mode to provide fluid flow at an output for actuating the wheel brake. A first source of pressurized fluid provides fluid pressure for actuating the wheel brake under a normal braking mode. A secondary brake module includes a plunger assembly for generating brake actuating pressure for actuating the wheel brake under the manual push-through mode.

The invention relates to a hydraulic tank (10) for storing a hydraulic liquid, comprising a one-piece tank housing (12) which forms a plastic hollow body and is manufactured by a rotational moulding process, wherein the tank housing (12) comprises at least one connection opening (92, 94, 126) at which is arranged a connection element (100, 110, 132) that is releasably connectable to a hydraulic conduit. In order to enable the hydraulic tank to be more cost-effective to produce, the connection element (100, 110, 132) comprises a plastic body which is manufactured by an injection moulding process and is welded together with the tank housing (12). Furthermore, a method for manufacturing a hydraulic tank (10) is proposed.

A drilling tool, in particular a rock drilling tool, for a portable machine tool, includes a drill head, in particular a hard metal drill head. The drill head includes a drill shaft connected, in particular integrally with the drill head, and a rotational axis. The drill shaft is configured as one piece, has a guide section with guide groove winding in a spiral-shaped about the drill shaft for transporting away drilling dust, and has a securing section provided for detachably securing the drilling tool to a machine tool. The guide section has a diameter reinforcement at a drill head support region of the guide section neighboring, in particular adjacent to, the drill head.

This blow-by gas recirculation device for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle is provided with a vacuum pump which supplies negative pressure to a brake booster. The blow-by gas recirculation device includes: a fresh-air introduction passage for introducing a fresh air into a crankcase from an intake passage upstream of a throttle valve; a PCV device for recirculating, to the intake passage downstream of the throttle valve, blow-by gas in the crankcase; and a suction/recirculation means which uses the vacuum pump to suck the blow-by gas from inside the crankcase, in a region where the blow-by gas ventilation quantity by the PCV device is insufficient, and recirculate the blow-by gas to the intake passage, while the fresh air is being introduced from the fresh-air introduction passage. As a result, the blow-by gas concentration in the crankcase is reduced, engine oil contact opportunities are reduced, and oil deterioration is inhibited.

A reservoir tank includes a reservoir body defining a storage chamber for an operating fluid; and a float guide in the storage chamber. The float guide forms a float chamber on the inner side. The reservoir tank further includes a fluid level detection device that has a float moving up and down in the float chamber in accordance with fluctuations of a fluid level, and has a detector detecting when the float is below predetermined position. The reservoir tank is provided with a slit in the float guide. The slit is in communication with the storage chamber and the float chamber. An operating fluid passage is provided on an inner face of the float guide which is continuous with the slit, which is in communication with the slit and the float chamber.
