Abstract: A method includes receiving a request to perform pricing, determining relevant attributes as a subset of multiple pricing attributes by analyzing a pricing configuration, and deriving attribute value combinations based on relevant attributes to provide a reduced set of combinations to pricing. An optional method includes scanning corresponding condition tables for distinct values of each attribute to further reduce attribute value combinations on which to call pricing.

Abstract: The invention is based on a connection element (16, 44, 50, 66, 74, 80) for connecting a wiper blade (10), which has at least one spring rail (14) as a supporting element, to a wiper arm in an articulated manner, with the connection element (16, 44, 50, 66, 74, 80) having claws (22, 46, 52) which are integrally formed on the side of a base part (18) and, in the mounted state, surround and retain the spring rail (14) by the base part (18) being supported on a part of a wiper rubber (12) which is arranged between the spring rail (14) and the base part (18, 56, 68, 70). The invention proposes that the connection element (16, 44, 50, 66, 74, 80) has means (28, 58, 60, 68, 72, 76, 78, 82, 84) with which the surface pressure between the base part (18, 56, 68, 70) and the wiper rubber (12) is locally increased.

Abstract: Disclosed is a windshield wiping device for a motor vehicle. A wiper arm is connected to a wiper bearing pin, the wiper arm being driven via the wiper bearing pin. The inventive windshield wiping device is characterized in that the wiper bearing pin is geometrically oriented in such a way that the lifting angle of the wiper arm changes in substantially one direction when the wiper arm performs a wiping movement across a windshield.

Abstract: A wiper system using two wipers and two wiper motors, which drive the wipers and of which at least one first wiper motor forms a sub-assembly with an electronic control unit. The second wiper motor is a rotary motor having only one sensory system for detecting the absolute and relative rotational position of its driven shaft, which generates corresponding signals for the control unit of the first wiper motor, and the first wiper motor, in the rotational speed and the rotational position of its driven shaft, is regulated by the control unit as a function of the rotational position and the rotational speed of the driven shaft of the second wiper motor.

Abstract: The invention is based on a link element (10) for windshield wipers, which is adjoined by a wiper rod (28) and is manufactured out of a metal sheet (16) by means of stamping and bending, in which, starting from a longitudinally aligned covering wall (40), at least one wall part of a side wall (38, 42) is comprised of a number of sheet metal layers produced by being bent inward by 180°, and a hanging device (32, 52, 54; 60; 58, 64) for a tension spring is fastened to the innermost sheet metal layer and protrudes into a free space (30) between the side walls (38, 40). The invention proposes that a slot (52) lateral to the longitudinal direction (56) of the link element (10) be let into the innermost sheet metal layer from the bottom edge (50) and that a pin (54) be inserted into this slot.

Abstract: A proposed wiper blade serves to clean the windshields of motor vehicles. The wiper blade (10) has an elongated rubber-elastic wiping strip which can be placed in contact against the windshield to be wiped and which is held substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis at an elongated, springing-elastic carrying element (12). A connection device (16) for complementing connection means of a driven wiper arm (18) which are loaded toward the windshield is arranged at the center portion of the carrying element (12). The connection device has two stop surfaces (36) which are located at a distance from one another, extend transverse to the driving direction, are parallel to one another and oriented in planes extending vertical to the windshield, and cooperate with counter-stops of the wiper arm.
