  • Ice and liquid detector
    Patent number: 5796106
    Abstract: A detector for detecting the presence of ice, water, mist, frost or other solids or liquids on a sensing surface is provided. The sensing surface is provided by a medium substantially transparent to electromagnetic radiation and solids or liquids are deposited on the surface. A transmitter directs radiation onto the surface and a receiver is responsive to radiation reflected from the surface.
