Abstract: A self-servoing disc brake assembly (10) is provided that includes a driven rotor
member (11) having a first inner surface with a plurality of first pockets. The driven rotor
member also includes a first friction surface spaced from the first inner surface. A movable
rotor member (14) is supported on the driven rotor member and is movable relative to the
driven rotor member between non-servoed and servoed positions. The friction surfaces are
spaced a first distance in the non-servo position, and the friction surfaces are spaced a
second distance which is greater than a first distance in the servo position. The movable
rotor member includes a second inner surface with a plurality of second pockets adjacent to
the first inner surface and a friction surface spaced from the second inner surface. A
plurality of balls (24) are arranged between the first and second pockets with at least one of
the first and second pockets being ramped. A friction member, such as a disc brake pad
(42), is arranged adjacent to the first friction surface and is movable between engaged and
non-engaged positions. The friction member is spaced from the second friction surface in
the non-engaged position and the friction member is in contact with the second friction
surface in the engaged position to rotate the movable rotor member to the servoed position
and produce a supplemental brake clamping force. As the brake pads are moved into
engagement with the driven and movable rotor members, a shear force is created on the
second friction surface. The shear force causes the movable rotor member to rotate relative
to and away from the driven rotor member. As a result, for a particular brake input force a
larger braking torque is achieved.

Abstract: An engine including a recirculation passage, which
connects an exhaust passage to an intake passage, and an EGR
valve arranged in the recirculation passage. An electronic
control unit (ECU) obtains a target opening degree of the
EGR valve in accordance with an operating state of the
engine and controls the EGR valve so that the opening degree
of the EGR valve becomes equal to the obtained target
opening degree. When opening the EGR valve from a fully
closed state, the ECU restricts the opening degree of the
EGR valve to a restricted opening degree that is smaller
than the target opening degree during a predetermined delay
time before actuating the EGR valve to the target opening
degree. This prevent exhaust gas from being excessively
recirculated to the intake passage even if the difference
between the exhaust pressure and the intake pressure is too
large when starting EGR.
