Claim 10:
11. A system for removing material from a wiper blade, the system comprising:
a vibration mechanism;
a housing comprising:
a top cover defining a passage connected to a conduit extending from the top cover, and
a base comprising a securing mechanism for at least a portion of the vibration mechanism, wherein the base defines a base aperture that is configured to align with the passage connected to the conduit when the base is coupled to the top cover, and wherein the base is configured to be coupled to the top cover;
a first sensor configured to output a signal indicative of an acceleration of a wiper assembly during actuation, wherein the first sensor is coupled to, disposed on, or integrated into the housing;
a microcontroller configured to receive the signal from the first sensor, determine an acceleration profile of the wiper assembly, and output a change in an operating state of the vibration mechanism based on the determined acceleration profile of the wiper assembly; and
a power source in electrical communication with the vibration mechanism via an electrical connection of the vibration mechanism, and the microcontroller,
wherein the vibration mechanism is configured to be contained in the housing and comprises the electrical connection that extends from the vibration mechanism through the base aperture and the passage in the top cover and through the conduit in the top cover to the power source.
