Abstract: The invention relates to a wiper blade for wiping the windscreen of a vehicle.  Said wiper blade comprises a support frame which is formed in a pivot shaped manner, comprising a main stirrup element which can be connected to a wiper arm and a terminal stirrup element which is coupled to the main stirrup element, especially by means of several levels of intermediate stirrup elements, also comprising a wiper strip system coupled to the terminal stirrup element, especially by means of holding sections provided on the free ends of the terminal stirrup elements.  A pressure force acting upon the support frame and which presses the wiper strip system against the windscreen when the wiper blade is in operation, is transmitted by means of force introduction points from the terminal stirrup elements to the wiper strip system.  The invention is characterised in that the distance between two adjacent force introduction points is less than 40mm.

Abstract: Microwave filter in rectangular dielectric waveguide (GDL-RIS) complete with micro-strip input/output structures (2, 3; 2', 3') obtained through appropriate metallization of an alumina substrate(1) having size 44 x10 x 0,635 mm. The metal coating (6) completely covers the surface rear side of the substrate , where it forms the bottom side of the waveguide and the ground plane for the microstrip lines. The top side of the substrate is metal-coated connecting the waveguide (4) opposite wall and the microstrip lines. The longitudinal side walls of the dielectric waveguide are obtained through metal coating of two grooves (5, 5') of the substrate (1) and then cutting the substrate with diamond saw along the centre line of the grooves. Each input/output structure of the dielectric waveguide is a microstrip line (2, 2') that widens (3, 3') as it approaches the top side wall (4) of the waveguide, acting as tapered transition between the "quasi-TEM" propagation mode of the signal in the microstrip and the dominant mode TE10 in the waveguide, or as reciprocal transition and matching at the same time the impedance seen at the two ends of each tapered transition (3, 3') within the filter operating frequency band. The thickness of the waveguide is drilled by metallized via-holes (F1, F2, F3, F4) having appropriately selected diameter,  lambda G/2 apart, operating as a particular kind of inductive element, to shape the desired bandpass response of the filter (fig.2). <IMAGE> <IMAGE>

Abstract: When a torque variation amount (ΔTm) of torque (Tm*) required by a motor is large, the variation causes a vehicle to vibrate or swing, which results in a temporarily larger angular velocity (α). In this case, it may be misjudged in a slip judgment (step S112) based on an angular velocity (α) that the angular velocity (α) exceeded a threshold value (αslip) and that slip occurred in spite of the fact that the slip did not occur. For this reason, when the torque variation amount (ΔTm) exceeds a threshold value (Tthr) in a (step S108), it is judged that it may be misjudged as slip having occurred in spite of the fact that the slip did not occur, so that a control routine in a (step S116) for when gripped is performed without performing a torque limiting process that is a control routine for when slipped (step S120).
