A brake system for motor vehicles may include an actuation device (e.g., brake pedal), a travel simulator to generate a feedback force on the actuation device, a first piston-cylinder unit having at least one piston that separates two working chambers that are connected via at least one hydraulic line to at least one wheel brake of a brake circuit, a control device and a pressure supply unit driven by an electric motor. At least one wheel brake may be assigned to each brake circuit, and each wheel brake may be connected to its associated hydraulic connecting line via a controllable switching valve. An outlet valve may be assigned to a single wheel brake or to a single wheel brake of each brake circuit in a hydraulic connection between the wheel brake and a pressure medium storage container, without any further valve disposed as such.

A hydrostatic transmission pressure monitoring system includes a hydrostatic transmission and a pressure sensor data source. The hydrostatic transmission includes, in turn, a transmission casing, a pivoting yoke assembly rotatably mounted in the transmission casing, a hydrostatic pump-motor arrangement containing a hydraulic pump-motor circuit at least partially formed in the pivoting yoke assembly, and a pressure scaling device fluidly coupled to the hydraulic pump-motor circuit. The pressure scaling device is configured to generate a pressure-scaled output signal substantially proportional to a peak circuit pressure within the hydraulic pump-motor circuit. The pressure sensor data source is fluidly coupled to the pressure scaling device and is configured to generate pressure sensor data indicative of the pressure-scaled output signal.

For a compact design of a hydraulic block of a hydraulic modulator of a vehicle slip-controlled hydraulic-power brake system, an electric motor of a power brake-pressure generator is disposed on the same side of the hydraulic block as solenoid valves for a brake-pressure control and an electronic control unit for controlling the electric motor and the solenoid valves.

Powered wheel assemblies and methods of manufacturing and operating such assemblies are provided.

A pressure sensing assembly configured to be attached to a bicycle wheel having a tire and a rim mounted to the tire. The pressure sensing assembly includes a housing, a pressure transmitting member, a sensing chamber defined by the housing and the pressure transmitting member, and a sensing element. The pressure transmitting member is coupled the housing and has a central portion offset from the plane in a first direction. The sensing element is offset from the plane in a second direction opposite the first direction. The pressure transmitting member is configured to transmit a pressure in the tire to the sensing element via the sensing chamber.

A high pressure container system is equipped with an upstream side pressure sensor that measures an internal pressure of high pressure containers upstream of a pressure regulating valve, a plurality of downstream side pressure sensors that measure the pressure of the fluid downstream of the pressure regulating valve, and a control device. At a normal time of the downstream side pressure sensors, a control device monitors the internal pressure of the high pressure containers on the basis of the measured values of the downstream side pressure sensors, and at an abnormal time when any one of the downstream side pressure sensors is abnormal, the control device monitors the internal pressure of the high pressure containers on the basis of the measured values of the downstream side pressure sensors, and the measured value of the upstream side pressure sensor.

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis coupled to a wheel and having a first portion and a second portion, an energy storage system supported by the chassis, a drive motor coupled to the wheel and configured to receive electrical energy from the energy storage system and provide rotational mechanical energy to the wheel, a cab supported by the first portion of the chassis, a refuse compartment supported by the second portion of the chassis, a suspension supported by the cab, a seat supported within an interior of the cab, an armrest arranged proximate to the seat and having control console with a joystick, and an armrest adjustment assembly coupled to the armrest and configured to adjust a height of the armrest relative to the seat. The suspension supports the seat and the armrest so that a position of the armrest relative to the seat is maintained.

A module (14) for detecting a leakage, comprising a pressure sensor (8) and a pump (2) for generating pressure, is characterized in that, regarding the object of detecting and/or quantifying a leakage of an arrangement which has a large sealed volume, in a reliable manner with a compact device, the module (14) has a sealable reference volume (11) which can be connected in terms of flow by means of a valve (9) to a tank connection (10) and which can be disconnected therefrom in a flow-tight manner, wherein the pressure inside the reference volume (11) can be detected by the pressure sensor (8), wherein pressure can be generated inside the reference volume (11) by means of the pump (2) and wherein the reference volume (11) can be connected in a flow-conducting manner by means of a shut-off valve (4) via a reference aperture (5) with a defined flow cross section to an atmosphere outlet (1) and can be disconnected therefrom.

A system includes a clutch state module and a clutch torque module. The clutch state module is configured to determine whether a clutch of an electronic limited slip differential is locked or unlocked. The electronic limited slip differential couples an engine of a vehicle to left and right wheels of the vehicle. The clutch torque module is configured to estimate an actual torque transferred by the clutch using a first clutch torque model when the electronic limited slip differential is unlocked, and estimate the actual clutch torque using a second clutch torque model when the electronic limited slip differential is locked. The second clutch torque model is different than the first clutch torque model.

A refuse vehicle includes a controller having a processor and at least one memory. The controller is in communication with a control console on a first side of a cab and a control console on a second side of a cab. The controller is configured to detect a presence of an operator in a seat on the first side or a seat on the second side based on a signal from a camera, a weight sensor, or an ignition, and in response to detecting the presence of an operator on the first side of the cab, enable a vehicle operator interface of the control console on the first side and disable a vehicle operator interface of the control console on the second side.
