A wiping system for a motor vehicle having a blade configured to move in linear translation over a window and in a direction parallel to two opposite sides of this window, is disclosed. The wiping system also includes a first rail and a second rail which are arranged at the sides of the window, the rails having a curvature to espouse the shape of the window and for housing a first runner and a second runner which are respectively connected to first and second ends of the blade, and a first drive motor and a second drive motor arranged respectively at the first rail and at the second rail to drive the first and second runner via a first coupling mechanism and second coupling mechanism, the first and second drive motors being operated by a control unit configured to synchronize movements of the first and second runners.

A computer implemented method for controlling camera exposure to augment a wiper system of a sensor enclosure. The computer implemented method can detect a presence of a wiper in one or more images captured by one or more cameras. An exposure time of the one or more cameras can be adjusted. Wiper speed can be adjusted such that wipers move in and out of one or more field of views of the one or more cameras while the one or more cameras are capturing images.

The vibrating vehicle windshield wipers with heating element for private and commercial vehicles effectively clear away snow, ice, and other inclement weather debris from both the vehicle windshield and the wipers themselves. The vibration and heating element ensure the windshield wipers remain functional at all times, eliminating the need to apply manual brushes and scrapers to a windshield and utilizes sensors to either manually or automatically trigger the heating element, controlled via the internal defrosting mechanism in the vehicle.

A vehicle optical device comprises an optical module including a lens through which external light passes; a cover glass arranged on a front surface of the lens; a motor driving the cover glass; a cleaner for accommodating a portion of the cover glass; and a controller driving the motor to accommodate a portion of the cover glass, which is arranged on the front surface of the lens and contaminated, in the cleaner through rotation of the cover glass if the portion of the cover glass is contaminated. The vehicle optical device may acquire exact information by removing particles that disturb acquisition of external information.

The versatility of a water collecting member is raised while improving the ease of assembly of the water collecting member. A water collecting member 80 is formed with plural first marks 90 serving as markers for assembly of the water collecting member 80 to a first pivot holder 20. The first pivot holder 20 is formed with a second mark 92 serving as a guide for the correct assembly orientation of the water collecting member 80 to the first pivot holder 20. The second mark 92 is formed corresponding to one out of the plural first marks 90, and is configured so as to form a pair with that first mark 90. The water collecting member 80 can be assembled in the correct position by aligning the second mark 92 and the first mark 90 that form a pair when assembling the water collecting member 80 to the first pivot holder 20. This thereby enables incorrect assembly of the water collecting member 80 to be prevented when assembling the water collecting member 80 to the first pivot holder 20 in cases in which a universal water collecting member 80 is employed in various vehicle models.

A method for synchronizing acquisition of an analog signal value with a read signal for a state of an electrical contact of a motor vehicle. The method includes: controlling, at each start time of the first task, the power supply module so that the power supply module generates a read signal voltage pulse at the interface module input; at the same start time, triggering a counter for a predetermined duration shorter than the duration of the read signal voltage pulse; on the expiration of the counter duration, measuring the value of an analog signal generated by the interface module based on the state signal and of the read signal; and controlling, at the next start time of the second task, the power supply module so that the power supply module generates a zero voltage signal at the interface module input until the next start time of the first task.
