Wiper control device
11479211 · 2022-10-25 · ·

A voltage divider circuit is configured by a resistor having one end connected to a positive electrode of a battery configuring a power source and another end connected to a first terminal that is a motor terminal on one side of a wiper motor, and a FET having one end connected to the first terminal and another end grounded. The voltage divider circuit lowers a voltage of the battery to a test voltage that does not cause the wiper motor to rotate. A microcomputer detects a detected voltage that is a voltage output from the voltage divider circuit to a second terminal that is a motor terminal on the other side of the wiper motor via the first terminal of the wiper motor and the wiper motor, and computes a motor terminal voltage, this being a potential difference between the first terminal and the second terminal, from the detected voltage.

Integrated multi image sensor and lens washing nozzle assembly and method for simultaneously cleaning a plurality of image sensors
11472375 · 2022-10-18 · ·

A unitary or one-piece integral image sensor and washing nozzle assembly or module 100, 300, 400 is configured to enclose, protect, and aim multiple image sensors and effectively clean multiple lenses (e.g., 102, 104) simultaneously while using only one nozzle head (e.g., 120, 320 or 420) with at least one optimized spray pattern (e.g., 122). The module includes a housing with a cover or bezel (e.g., 106) that supports and orients the lenses and the nozzle head aims spray at the lenses along a spray axis, with the relative heights and spacings of the nozzle's outlet orifice (e.g., 174) and the surfaces of the lenses (e.g., 102, 104) selected so that a particular spray either glances across and washes a nearest lens (e.g., 102) or impacts and washes over a farthest lens (e.g., 104).
