WIPER CONTROL MECHANISM
First Claim
1. An arrangement to reduce refreezing of meltable snow deposited on an ambient-facing surface of a window positioned on a vehicle, the arrangement comprising:
- at least one wiper arm configured to wipe the meltable snow off the ambient-facing surface of the window;
at least one sensor coupled to the at least one wiper arm, the at least one sensor configured to gather and transmit at least one parameter; and
at least one processor configured to;
receiving the at least one parameter;
determining refreezability of the meltable snow based on the at least one parameter; and
defining an action to be performed by the at least one wiper arm.

Abstract
An arrangement to reduce refreezing of meltable snow includes a wiper arm configured to wipe the meltable snow from an ambient-facing surface of a window positioned on a vehicle. The arrangement also includes a sensor coupled to the wiper arm that is configured to gather and transmit a parameter on the vehicle and environment. The arrangement also includes a processor that is configured to receiving the parameter, determining refreezability of the meltable snow based on the parameter, and defining an action to be performed by the wiper arm.

18. An arrangement to prevent melting of refreezable-meltable snow deposited on an ambient-facing surface of a window positioned on a vehicle, the arrangement comprising:
at least one sensor configured to gathering at least one parameter; predicting the melting of the refreezable-meltable snow; and actuating a blower to sufficiently cool the window, the sufficiently cooling preventing the melting of the refreezable-meltable snow. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. An arrangement to prevent deposition of refreezable-meltable snow on an ambient-facing surface of a window positioned on a vehicle, the arrangement comprising:
at least one sensor configured to; gathering at least one parameter; predicting the deposition of the refreezable-meltable snow; and actuating a heating element to sufficiently heat the window, the sufficiently heating preventing the deposition of the refreezable-meltable snow. - View Dependent Claims (25)
