The present invention relates to a wiper system for a window of a motor vehicle. A wiper assembly is provided that oscillates over the window to remove moisture. A slider member extends outwardly and generally away from the wiper assembly. A pivotal lifter is affixed to the motor vehicle and engages the slider member to pivotally lift the wiper assembly away from the window upon deactivation of the wiper system. The present invention also relates to a corresponding method of making a wiper system in accordance with the above description.

A system and method for securing a fuel injector in an internal combustion engine include a clamp for securing adjacent injectors to a cylinder head. The clamp includes a central portion with a hole for receiving a fastener to secure the clamp to the cylinder head, and a pair of symmetrical crescent-shaped clamping forks forming a U-shaped opening to facilitate lateral sliding engagement with diametrically opposed flatted portions of corresponding fuel injectors. Each arm includes an arcuate pad that engages a corresponding shoulder of the fuel injector to provide an axial clamping force to the fuel injector. The distance between the distal ends of one fork and the semicircular portion of the opposite fork is selected to allow lateral sliding disengagement of the clamp from one of the adjacent injectors without rotation or removal of the other injector to facilitate servicing of individual injectors.

A messaging system may be integrated into a vehicle for electronically sending and receiving messages including textual content. The messages may be email, text messages, and/or instant messages. The messaging system may communicate, via a wireless transceiver, with a communication device located within the vehicle. The communication device may provide incoming messages to the messaging system and may receive outgoing messages from the messaging system for further transmission. The incoming messages may be presented visually or audibly to the occupant of the vehicle. A keyboard for providing textual input may be integrated with a steering wheel of the vehicle. The keyboard may be disabled when the vehicle is determined not to be moving less than a predetermined speed. The messaging system also may receive speech input which may be converted to text and sent to a recipient.
