Brushing system
A brushing system, including: a brush; and a hydraulic motor, for rotating the brush. The hydraulic motor is operable by pressurized water, and the pressurized water is administrable by outlets of the brush, thereby brushing of the brush is accompanied by the administrable water.
Windshield touch and clean system
A cleaning device for a vehicle has tracks above and below the vehicle's windshield. A brush, wiper blade and spray bar extend across the windshield at a starting side of the windshield. The spray bar provides washer fluid as the brush rotates against the windshield. The spray bar, rotating brush and wiper bar are moved along the tracks and across the windshield to an opposing, return side of the windshield where the wiper blade first contacts the windshield and the brush stops rotating and moves away from the windshield. The spray bar rotates next to the wiper blade to blow air against the windshield. The wiper blade scrapes water while air blows water off the windshield as they move back to the starting side of the windshield where they are stored in a frame along the side of the windshield when not in use.
WINDSHIELD TOUCH AND CLEAN SYSTEM
A cleaning device for a vehicle has tracks above and below the vehicle's windshield. A brush, wiper blade and spray bar extend across the windshield at a starting side of the windshield. The spray bar provides washer fluid as the brush rotates against the windshield. The spray bar, rotating brush and wiper bar are moved along the tracks and across the windshield to an opposing, return side of the windshield where the wiper blade first contacts the windshield and the brush stops rotating and moves away from the windshield. The spray bar rotates next to the wiper blade to blow air against the windshield. The wiper blade scrapes water while air blows water off the windshield as they move back to the starting side of the windshield where they are stored in a frame along the side of the windshield when not in use.
Windshield touch and clean system
A windshield touch and clean system that can clean either the entire windshield of an automobile or spot clean a localized area of the windshield is disclosed. The windshield touch and clean system may control a cleaning head in a number of ways including but not limited to two articulating extension members or a gantry system. The cleaning head may be retrofitted with a spray nozzle for spraying cleaning fluid and also a vibration unit to assist in cleaning of residue on the windshield.

IMPROVED SENSOR CLEANING BASED ON REQUIRED CLEANING INTENSITY
A sensor cleaning device for cleaning an exterior sensor surface of a sensor, in particular an optical camera or a LiDAR, for use in automotive applications. The sensor cleaning device includes at least one wiper element and a wiper rig, which supports the at least one wiper element, and which is movable to move the at least one wiper element across the exterior sensor surface. The sensor cleaning device is adjustable to adjust its cleaning intensity for cleaning the exterior sensor surface based on a required cleaning intensity for cleaning the exterior sensor surface.

DUAL BLADE WINDSHIELD WIPER
A dual blade windshield wiper including; a blade anchor; a first blade extension extending from the blade anchor on a first side; a second blade extension extending from the blade anchor on a second side; a first blade at the distal end of the first blade extension, where the first blade is comprised of a first substance; and a second blade at the distal end of the second blade extension, where the second blade is comprised of a second substance. In one particular embodiment, the first substance is a scrubbing material and the second substance is a plurality of bristles. The blade anchor preferably includes an inner cavity and a sponge lies within the inner cavity, where a clip secures the sponge within the inner cavity.
AUTONOMOUS DRIVING SENSOR CLEANING SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE
An autonomous driving sensor cleaning system for a vehicle includes a rotatable cover unit configured to surround a sensor such as a cylindrical sensor. The system also includes a cleaning unit coupled to the cover unit to transmit a rotation driving force to the cover unit and configured to clean the cover unit by friction while being rotated in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the cover unit. The system also includes a rotation driving unit coupled to the cleaning unit and configured to transmit the rotation driving force to the cleaning unit.
