  • Power window device
    Patent number: 10125530
    Abstract: A power window device includes a driving unit which moves a plurality of window glasses of a vehicle respectively, an operation unit which has a plurality of switches corresponding to the plurality of window glasses and which is provided for driving the driving unit, and a control unit which controls the driving unit to move and open or close the window glasses in accordance with an operation on the operation unit. When a normal operation for operating any one of the plurality of window switches individually is performed, the control unit controls the driving unit to move only the window glass corresponding to the operated window switch. When a special operation which is different from the normal operation is performed on the window switches, the control unit controls the driving unit to move all the window glasses.

  • Wiper unit controller and method for controlling wiper unit
    Patent number: 7622878
    Abstract: A wiper unit controller for performing wiping at an accurate intermittent wipe cycle. The controller stores a maximum resistance value of a variable resistor having a resistance value that varies in accordance with the intermittent wipe cycle. When a reference time elapses after calculating a resistance value that exceeds the stored maximum resistance value, a computer renews the maximum resistance value with a new maximum resistance value.
