  • Weather-detecting devices and related methods
    Patent number: 11640013
    Abstract: A weather-detecting device (100) can include a substrate (102) and a detection region (106) exposed to an environment within which the weather-detecting device (100) is situated when in use. An array (110) of heating elements (112) can be mounted at a first side of the substrate (102), with at least one surface of each heating element (112) in the array (110) being positioned within the detection region (106). A controller can be electrically coupled to the array (110) of heating elements (112), and the controller can individually address each heating element (112) in the array (110) to selectively pass electrical current through each heating element (112).
