    摘要: A selectively controllable heated wash system for a vehicle surface includes a wiper system control module operatively disposed in the vehicle and may be adapted to receive at least one sensed input. A fluid heating module is controlled by the wiper system control module, the heating module adapted to heat fluid therein to a predetermined target temperature, or to a preferred temperature determined as a result of recognition and analysis of the sensed input(s). Fluid is dispensed onto the surface from the heating module manually, according to predetermined parameters, or according to predetermined parameters determined at least in part as a result of recognition and analysis of the sensed input(s).

    摘要: An optical moisture detector for determining a value corresponding to ambient light conditions and comparing that value to a predetermined value. The detector includes an optical moisture sensor and a processor. The optical moisture sensor can be a photo array, a CCD or a CMOS. The processor can be a microprocessor. The processor can emit a control signal to engage or disengage a light generating device based on the result of the comparison of the value to the predetermined value.

    摘要: A fluid heater apparatus has fluid discharge temperature control to prevent temperature overshoot. A plurality of heater elements are employed and at least certain of the heater elements are independently controllable. At least one of the heater elements is employed as a 'finishing' heater element, with the other heating elements deactivated to enable the 'finishing' heater element to more slowly elevate the temperature of the fluid in the body from a first temperature reached by activation all or most of the heater elements to the predetermined discharge temperature. One of more of the heater elements may have a different power output than the other heater elements.

    摘要: A plurality of the first L1 and second L2 image sensor elements are interleaved with one another. The first image sensor element L1 has a peak response at the first wavelength λ1 for capturing an illuminated image of the glass and objects on the glass containing a first wavelength λ1 from an infrared illuminator (12). The second image sensor element L2 has a peak response at a second wavelength λ2 for capturing an ambient image of light rays at the second wavelength λ2 passing through the glass (10) from the exterior to the interior surfaces simultaneously with the capture by the first image sensor element L1. Instead of storing two complete sequential images and differentially subtracting them, the present invention creates two simultaneous images from a specially interleaved, single imager (14). A processor includes a camera control and frame capture unit (20), an image detector (22), an image storage unit (24), and a differential comparator (26). The comparator (26) algebraically sums the first and second images and an analyzer (28) analyzes and sets preset setpoints for initiating a wiper activation signal (30).
