A windshield wiper system for an aircraft includes a wiper arm and a wiper shaft with a first end connected to a base of the wiper arm. An electric motor is coupled to the wiper shaft to rotationally drive the wiper shaft. The windshield wiper system also includes a brake system. The brake system includes an electromagnet comprising an energized mode and a de-energized mode. The brake system also includes an anti-rotation assembly with a first element and a second element. The first element is connected directly to the wiper shaft. The second element is rotationally stationary relative the wiper shaft and the first element. The second element is configured to interlock with the first element to prevent rotation of the first element and the wiper shaft when both the electromagnet is in the de-energized mode and the wiper arm is in a park position.

A cylindrical member 93 is provided with a pair of slits 93a, 93b extending in the axial direction of the cylindrical member 93. The opening widths of the pair of slits 93a, 93b in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical member 93 are narrower on the outside (opening widths W2, W4) of the cylindrical member 93 than on the inside (opening widths W1, W3) thereof. This makes it possible to prevent rainwater and the like from reaching a communication hole 91 inside the cylindrical member 93 and quickly discharge the rainwater and the like intruded into the inside of the cylindrical member 93 to the outside of the cylindrical member 93. Accordingly, it is possible to effectively prevent the rainwater and the like from intruding into the inside (hollow portion) of a gear cover 80, thereby enabling to improve a water exposure reliability.

A cab for a refuse vehicle includes a cab body defining a first door opening and a second door opening, a first door positioned over the first door opening, and a second door positioned over the second door opening. Each of the first door and the second door includes a door panel and a peep window positioned proximate a lower end of the door panel. The peep window includes an interior windowpane and exterior windowpane. Portions of the interior windowpane and the exterior windowpane are vertically offset and horizontally offset.

The invention relates to a system for cleaning an optical surface of an optical device. The cleaning system includes a wiper blade for a window, the wiper blade being arranged to wipe a wiping zone of the window that is separate from an optical surface. The blade bearing a nozzle for spraying fluid, in particular air, in the direction of the optical surface. The cleaning system also includes an apparatus for setting fluid in motion, in particular a compressor or a blower, intended to supply the spray nozzle.

The present invention relates to a wiping system for a vehicle and such a vehicle, wherein the wiping system comprises: at least one wiper arm having a connected wiper blade, a wiper motor and a control unit, wherein the wiping system is configured to be mounted in the area of a windshield of a vehicle, to cause, based on a movement of the wiper arm and the wiper blade connected thereto, cleaning of the windshield within a first predefined wiping area, and wherein the control unit is configured to determine an activation requirement to activate a high efficiency wiping mode of the wiping system and, in the event of such determined activation requirement, to adjust control of the wiper motor, such that the wiper arm moves back and forth over the windshield at a wiping frequency of at least wiping operations per minute and/or the wiper arm moves back and forth exclusively within a second wiping area of the windshield, which is a sub-area of the first wiping area.

A process (1) for de-icing a glazed surface (20) of a vehicle (2) is disclosed. A de-icing device (21) includes a wiper system (210) with at least one device for spraying a liquid (L, Lq), and is used to perform a method involving verification (E1) of a primary condition (C1) according to which the ignition (Cc) of the said vehicle (2) is activated, verification (E2) of a secondary condition (C2) according to which the exterior temperature (t) is below a temperature threshold (Th1), verification (E3) of a tertiary condition (C3) according to which a demisting function (fd) is activated; and when all of the conditions are fulfilled, then activation (E4) of the de-icing device (21) in order to start a de-icing cycle (Cy). The de-icing cycle (Cy) comprising spraying by the device for spraying of the liquid (L, Lq) onto the glazed surface (20).

Method for determining cleaning information for a camera sensor which includes a blockage on a transparent camera sensor component in an optical camera sensor path, the method including: processing a captured camera image with a neural network algorithm which determines as an output a degree of camera sensor blockage by segmenting a part of the camera image and a camera sensor blockage class by classification of a part of the camera image, determining cleaning information dependent on the camera sensor blockage degree and the camera sensor blockage class, wherein the cleaning information describes that a cleaning of the camera sensor is required if a cleaning criterion is assigned to the determined camera sensor blockage class and if a degree threshold is exceeded by the determined camera sensor blockage degree, and transmitting the cleaning information to a camera sensor cleaning device to clean the camera sensor.

A vehicle control device controls a vehicle configured to perform parking and exiting by a remote operation. The vehicle includes a cleaning device configured to clean a predetermined portion of an exterior of the vehicle, and the vehicle control device enables an operation of the cleaning device during the parking performed by the remote operation and restricts the operation of the cleaning device during the exiting performed by the remote operation.
