Apparatus including a brake control assembly having a brake fluid accumulator assembly. The brake fluid accumulator assembly includes a brake fluid orifice, at least one brake-fluid-accumulating piston bore, a controllable bi-directional motor, and at least one piston. The brake fluid orifice is fluidly connectable to a brake apply master cylinder and is fluidly connectable to a wheel brake. The at-least-one brake-fluid-accumulating piston bore is fluidly connected to the brake fluid orifice. The motor has a first motor driving direction and an opposite second motor driving direction. The at-least-one piston is each positioned in and slidable within a corresponding brake-fluid-accumulating piston bore and is each movable by the motor, in the first motor driving direction, to move in compression within the corresponding brake-fluid-accumulating piston bore.

An apparatus and method are provided for operating a pump-less rear wheel anti-lock brake system of a vehicle using speed sensors on at least one front and one rear wheel, to provide a true dynamic rear proportioning (DRP) function, and to significantly enhance braking performance in rear wheel anti-lock mode through better management of the volume of pressurized fluid supplied by the master cylinder using rear pressure control (RPC).

A single-operation valve assembly useful in such braking system applications, as well as others, includes a flow passage and a valve member located within the flow passage at a first position in which the valve member prevents fluid flow from an upstream side of the valve member to a downstream side of the valve member. The valve member and flow passage are configured for movement of the valve member from the first position along the flow passage to a second position along the flow passage when a pressure difference between the upstream side of the valve member and the downstream side of the valve member exceeds a threshold level. The valve member and the flow passage are also configured for free flow of fluid along the flow passage in either direction when the valve member moves to the second position. Thus, in a braking system circuit the subject valve assembly does not interfere with fluid flow in the circuit after the valve member has been blown to the second position.

A 'C' shaped adjustable watch band having a pair of opposite orientated hooks on opposite arms of the band is provided. The arms of the band may be flexed toward each other and allowed to overlap. Hooks are positioned to allow the simultaneous engagement of apertures provided on the respective overlapping arms. Because the bands attempt to spring back to their original unflexed condition, the hooks are retained within the apertures and the band is securely held together.
