An apparatus for detecting ice forming conditions includes a substrate having a first surface and a second surface; a sensor disposed on the first surface, the sensor being made of a material having a characteristic which varies in a known manner with respect to temperature; and a unit for monitoring the characteristic and for detecting ice forming conditions from the characteristic. A method for positioning the apparatus to detect ice forming conditions, to detect the presence of ice, and to determine an ice accretion rate is also provided.

Integrated planar ice detector

An electro-expulsive device in the form of discrete units having a redundancy feature, minimal susceptibility to fatigue failure with a provision for transferring shock waves to and from abutting units.
