In a cup seal, the hydraulic pressure in a first hydraulic chamber (6) causes a first seal portion (21e) of an outer lip portion (21c) to closely contact to a bottom wall (20a) of a recessed portion (20) and causes a second seal portion (21f) of a base portion (21a) to closely contact to a rear surface (20b) of the recessed portion (20). A double seal due to the first and second seal portions (21e) and (21f) reliably prevents the leakage of a brake fluid from the first hydraulic chamber (6). If the pressure becomes negative in the first hydraulic chamber (6), the tip portion of the outer lip portion (21c) deflects inward and the outer peripheral end of the base portion (21a) deflects forward. Therefore, the brake fluid in the reservoir flows into the first hydraulic chamber (6) through the gaps among the second and first seal portions (21f), (21e) and the wall surface of the recessed portion (20) to maintain fluid-feeding performance.

The pressure in a cylinder of a combustion engine is determined on the basis of vibrations in the engine which are generated during movement of the piston. A vibration signal (S) from a vibration sensor situated on a cylinder is filtered in the region about the piston top dead center position, at the transition from compression to expansion, in a special filter in which a half Hanning filter acts upon the vibration signal before and an exponential filter acts upon the vibration signal after the piston top dead center position. The filtered signal (U) is thereafter converted to a pressure signal (P) on the basis of an established relationship between vibration and pressure. The half Hanning filter has a significantly shorter time window (TH) than the exponential filter (TE). The filter cleans the vibration signal in an advantageous manner and makes more reliable pressure determination possible.
