For this article, we've chosen a fictional automobile windshield wiper company as a case study.

在本文中，我们选择一个虚构的汽车风挡刮水器公司进行案例分析。

On Sunday, after church, Bob drove Phyllis and the kids around Detroit, scouting out sites for the Kearns wiper factory.

周日，从教会回来，鲍勃开车载着妻子和孩子到底特律兜一圈，监察他的雨刷工厂。

Daykin began experimenting with windshield wipers in 1957, when his supervisor asked him to design an electric wiper motor.

戴金从1957年开始试验雨刷器，当时他的导师让他设计一个电动雨刷马达。

He bought an aquarium, installed the wipers in it, filled the tank with a mixture of oil and sawdust to simulate a load on the wiper.

他买了一个养鱼缸，在上面安装了雨刷，并填充了油和锯末的混合物，以模拟负载的雨刷器。

He will go on suing until automobile companies around the world are stopped from manufacturing his wiper, and then he can make it himself.

他将继续起诉，直到全世界的汽车公司都停止生产他的雨刷，然后他将自己生产它。

He put his wiper control in a red metal box that on the outside had the words "For Engineering Tests Only. Do Not Open.".

他将刮水控制器放置在一个红色的金属盒子里，上面写道 “工程测试专用，切勿打开。”。

For door bottoms there is a wide range of types with brush or wiper seals.

对于门扇底部，有很多种类型的刷子或刮垢环。

He thought, Why can't a wiper work more like an eyelid?

他想，为什么不能让雨刷像睫毛那样活动呢？

In addition, the amount of liquid detected dictates the speed of the wiper.

此外，依据检测到的液滴量调整雨刷器的速度。

They were the real inventors of the intermittent windshield wiper, not Kearns.

他们是真正的间歇式雨刷的发明者，不是卡恩斯。

Dozens of inventors—maybe a hundred—contributed to your intermittent windshield wiper.

数十种，不，或许是上百种为间歇雨刷器服务的技术发明。

The windshield wiper blade on the driver's side quit while driving in a blinding storm.

在一场倾盆大雨中我开着车，突然驾驶座这一侧的雨刷胶皮坏了。

One of the guards said, “That’s the man who invented the intermittent windshield wiper.”

一个保安说，“他就是发明间歇性雨刷的人。”

Then, according to Kearns, Shipman asked him to show his wiper control to the rest of the team.

之后，据卡恩斯称，希普曼要求卡恩斯向其他人展示雨刷控制。

Place a little love note or poem under the driver 's-side windshield wiper of his or her car.

在他或她的汽车驾驶位的挡风玻璃刮雨器上夹爱情小纸片或情诗。

I'd been so consumed with my work on the wiper that I'd never even shown them how to fly a kite.

我总是专注于研究雨刷的工作，以至于我甚至从未教我的孩子们放风筝。

Finally, Roger Shipman, a Ford supervisor, announced to Kearns that he had "won the wiper competition."

最终，福特主管罗杰·希普曼宣布卡恩斯的雨刷力斩群雄，赢得了竞争。

This was the intermittent wiper that Kearns saw when he paid his first visit to the engineering building.

当卡恩斯第一次来到工程实验室时，他便见到的是这款雨刷。

Three external systems are considered: the wiper interface, the windshield, and the car electrical system.

需考虑三种外部系统：雨刷器接口，挡风玻璃，和汽车电子系统。

Kearns' intermittent wiper was an elegant piece of engineering. It had four parts, and only one of them moved.

卡恩斯的间歇式雨刷是一款非常精细的工程作品：共有4个部件，其中1个可活动。

The success of those parallel blades got management thinking, Well, what other wiper options can we come up with?

平行雨刮的成功引发了管理者的思考：还有什么其他的雨刷选择呢？

Ford had asked Daykin and his colleagues to invent a wiper system in which the blades moved parallel to each other.

福特要求迪肯和他的同事设计一款可以让两个雨刮平行工作的雨刷系统。

This sounded reasonable to Kearns, so he explained to the Ford engineers exactly how his intermittent wiper worked.

这对卡恩斯来说是非常合理的解释，于是他便向福特工程师详细讲解了这款雨刷的工作原理。

The pickup was old, no heater, one windshield wiper and bad tires; when the transmission went there was no money to fix it.

他开的是一辆旧的小货车，没有取暖器，只有一个雨刷，轮胎也挺差劲儿；好不容易开到了，却又没钱修车了。

So there was a second trial, and the second trial awarded Kearns $5.2 million, or about thirty cents a wiper plus interest.

于 是二审开始了，科恩斯赢得了五千两百万美金，相当于福特公司每卖出一个雨刷，就给他30美分，税后。

Also, getting the wiper to dwell for short periods was difficult, because of the time it took for the switch to heat and cool.

此外，由于从热变冷需要一段时间，因此仅让雨刮短时运行也非常困难。

The standard wiper was driven by intake from the engine manifold, which was connected by a series of hoses to the wiper motor.

标准雨刷是由发动机歧管内部驱动。

How do you design a circuit where the wiper comes to a stop at the base of the windshield and then goes into its cycle again?

你如何设计出一个线路，可以使雨刮在完成一个周期后停下来，一段时间后再运行一次？
