6 results about "Binary sensors" patented technology

Binary Sensor. Binary sensors gather information about the state of devices which have a “digital” return value (either 1 or 0). These can be switches, contacts, pins, etc. These sensors only have two states: 0/off/low/closed/false and 1/on/high/open/true.

Method and device for determining the volume of liquid available, braking system

The invention relates to a method for determining the volume of liquid available in a reservoir (2) for brake fluid of a brake system (1), wherein the brake system (1) has a pressure generator (4, 9) which is fluidically connected on the one hand to the reservoir (2) and on the other hand to at least one brake circuit (8), which pressure generator can be actuated for generating a hydraulic pressure in the brake system (1) in the event of extraction of brake fluid from the reservoir (2), and wherein a predefined limit value (F) below the filling level for brake fluid in the reservoir (2) is monitored by means of a binary sensor (11) assigned to the reservoir (2). It is provided that the actuation of the pressure generator (4, 9) is monitored, and that the volume of liquid available is determined from the actuation of the pressure generator (4, 9) when the current filling level is below the limit value (F).
