A pump housing of a hydraulic assembly of a vehicle brake system has at least one wheel brake cylinder connection for connecting a wheel brake cylinder to the pump housing, and an outlet valve receiving member associated with the individual wheel brake cylinder connection to receive an outlet valve, which is provided for letting brake fluid out of the wheel brake cylinder into the pump housing. The outlet valve has a valve inlet that can be closed by a closing element with an associated closing force. The outlet valve receiving member has an inlet for letting brake fluid from the wheel brake cylinder into the outlet valve. The inlet is adapted for guiding the brake fluid in a flow direction opposite the closing force when letting the brake fluid into the outlet valve, when the outlet valve is received in the outlet valve receiving member.

A method for determining a course of a lane of a vehicle. In this connection, a first marking course of a first marking of the lane and a second marking course of a second marking of the lane are initially recorded. The first marking course and the second marking course are subsequently checked for plausibility. Finally, the lane course is determined on the basis of a previous width of the lane and a plausible marking course in response to at least one marking course proving to be implausible in the checking step.

A sensor is described for a regulating system in a vehicle, having a sensor element and an interface element. The interface element is set up for the communicative connection of the sensor element to a control device in a vehicle. The interface element is fashioned as a two-contact interface element.

A device for triggering an occupant protection means of a vehicle has an environment sensor for monitoring a surrounding environment of the vehicle, the environment sensor being adapted so as to output an environment signal in response to an impending collision of the vehicle. The device further has a triggering device that is adapted to acquire, within a peripheral area of the vehicle, a physical quantity indicating a collision that has taken place, and to produce a collision signal based on the physical quantity, and that is adapted to make a triggering decision for the occupant protection means as a function of the environment signal and of the collision signal.

An assembly is described for coupling a towing vehicle to a trailer having a towing vehicle-side coupling unit and a trailer-side coupling unit. A measuring device, which records and analyzes the force acting on the towing vehicle-side coupling unit in at least one direction, is assigned to the towing vehicle-side coupling unit. The measuring device is coupled to a vehicle immobilizer that prevents the towing vehicle from starting and/or being set in motion in response to the force recorded by the measuring device and/or a physical quantity derived therefrom exceeding a predefined threshold value.

In a method for selecting safety measures to be taken to increase the safety of occupants of a vehicle, which safety measures relate to a hazard due to environmental influences, a relevance of the hazard is inferred from received position data and warning message data, and at least one safety measure, which includes activation of an actuator in a vehicle, is selected and taken as a function of the relevance.

In device for side impact recognition in a vehicle, at least one pressure sensor system that produces a signal is provided in a side part of the vehicle, and an evaluation circuit is provided that recognizes a side impact as a function of the signal. In addition, a test device is provided for the at least one pressure sensor system, the at least one test device being configured such that the at least one test device oversamples the signal and then filters it in order to produce a test signal, the test device comparing the signal with a reference value and, as a function of this comparison, recognizing the operability of the at least one pressure sensor system.

Device, method, and control unit for identifying a side impact, and pressure sensor

A method for digital data transmission from a sensor to a control unit is described, the sensor values of the sensor being divided for data transmission at different resolutions. The sensor values form a first range of values including successive sensor values. The first range of values for data transmission is divided as a function of a variable relevant for the control unit.

Described is a control unit and an acceleration sensor system, the control unit having an electronic safety switch which, as a function of a signal of an acceleration sensor system, releases output stages for actuating passenger protection means independently of a processor and the processor actuates the output stages as a function of the signal. The safety switch analyzes an integrated acceleration signal.

Control unit and acceleration sensor system

An impact sensor, or a method for testing the impact sensor. The impact sensor has a sensor element and a filter for filtering the signals of the sensor element. This filter is preferably a low-pass filter. Using a test signal, the filter is tested, and if there is a deviation the filter is corrected using a software filter or through a parametrization of the triggering algorithm.
