This invention relates to windshield wiper system and method which utilizes a flexible drive arm for withstanding bending loads applied to a wiper. The drive arm may be made of a pull-molded composite material having a relatively low modulus of elasticity and a relatively high elongation factor. The flexible arm twists in the presence a bending load and undergoes rapidly progressing elastic buckling when the bending load exceeds a predetermined amount.

This invention relates to windshield wiper system and method which utilizes a flexible member to account for compression loads in excess of a predetermined load, such as 30 percent, greater than a maximum load for the flexible member. The system utilizes a flexible pultruded composite material having a relatively low modulus of elasticity, yet relatively high elongation characteristics. The flexible arm bends to facilitate preventing damage to components in the wiper system when a compressive load applied to the flexible member is in excess of the predetermined load.

A system and method for reducing brush temperature associated with an electric motor or alternator is disclosed as having at least one brush box for housing at least one brush biased radially toward an opening toward the commutator. The brush boxes have at least one or a plurality of heat sink fins associated therewith for thermally conducting heat away from the brushes.

An improved hydraulic motor system, suitable for driving an automotive cooling fan or the like. The system is driven by grade gerotor set and an idle gerotor set which are stacked between a center plate and against a rear wall of a cylindrical cavity in a front face of a manifold. A fluid-tight chamber is established by securing an end frame can around the stacked gerotor sets and against the perimeter of the manifold cavity. Tightness of the seal is controlled by positioning a resilient cover plate against the end frame can from a position opposite the manifold, and adjustably clamping the resilient cover against the manifold until the resilient cover has undergone a predetermined amount of elastic deformation.

A method and assembly for sensing moisture on the exterior surface of a sheet of glass (16) by capturing an ambient image (A) of light rays passing through the glass (16) from the exterior to the interior surfaces thereof under ambient light conditions. The invention is characterized by illuminating (18) the glass with pulses of light rays, capturing an illuminated image of the glass containing the ambient image (A) plus the illuminated image (B) containing the reflected light from the illuminating (18) of the glass (16) between the ambient images (A), and subtracting each ambient image (A) from the next adjacent illuminated image (B) to produce a moisture signal (30).

摘要:
Apparatus and Method for accelerating the warm-up of a heater/defroster in a passenger compartment of an automotive vehicle. A working fluid, such as power steering oil is rapidly heated by pumping it through a small orifice. An oil-to-coolant heat exchanger transfers heat from the working fluid to a liquid coolant. A blower generates an air stream and directs it across heat exchange surfaces of a coolant-to-air heat exchanger. Meanwhile the heated coolant is circulating through the interior of the coolant-to-air heat exchanger. This transfers heat from the liquid coolant and warms the air stream.
