Title: A vehicle brake system with electric-motor driven brake actuators
Inventor: MAISCH WOLFGANG
IPC: B60T8/32
Filed: 1996-09-27
Abstract: A vehicle brake system includes wheel brakes 100, 102, 104, 106 having electric motor-driven actuators 116, 118, 120, 122, and two batteries 140, 148 each associated with a respective pair of diagonally-opposed wheel brakes.
