An electromechanical brake device has a brake caliper and a pressure piston mounted in the brake caliper such that it can move in a clamping direction, wherein the brake device has an electromechanical clamping device, wherein the clamping device is supported, on one side, on the pressure piston and is designed to apply to the pressure piston a force acting in the clamping direction. It is provided that the brake device has at least one hydraulically sealed, fluid-filled cavity, wherein the clamping device is supported, on the other side, indirectly on the brake caliper via the fluid-filled cavity, and wherein a pressure sensor is hydraulically connected to the fluid-filled cavity and is designed to calculate the fluid pressure inside the fluid-filled cavity.

A position sensor connected to first and second electric signal sources to output a first electric signal with a first frequency and a second electric signal with a second frequency. The position sensor includes: a primary coil generating a magnetic alternating field with the first frequency; a first and a second secondary coil, the first and second secondary coils each magnetically coupled to the primary coil by the position transmitter, and third and fourth electric signals induced in the first and second secondary coils respectively by the generated magnetic alternating field; a frequency converter converts the third and fourth electric signals into respective first and second intermediate frequency signals, the frequency converter connectable to the second electric signal source. A Goertzel filter bank demodulates the first intermediate frequency signal to obtain a first demodulated signal and demodulates the second intermediate frequency signal to obtain a second demodulated signal.

According to one exemplary embodiment of the invention, a vehicle antenna apparatus is provided on a vehicle in such a way that this results in the antenna having a horizontal main beam direction. A first reflection apparatus above the conductive roof of the vehicle, with an exciter between these two elements, causes the reflections to be doubled, thus causing the main beam direction to be lowered from a vertical to a horizontal direction.

A method and a device for triggering an emergency call in a vehicle equipped with an airbag. The device can be retrofitted in a vehicle equipped with an airbag to provide an emergency system which, in the event of an airbag being triggered, sends an emergency call (Ecall) to a suitable emergency call center in order to initiate auxiliary measures as may be necessary.
