<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect accumulation of ice particles, and to detect ice particles that are present in sufficient concentration for a sufficient time period. <P>SOLUTION: Systems and methods for detecting ice particle accumulation are disclosed herein. In one exemplary implementation, a method for detecting ice is described in which a parameter within an interior volume of a heated conduit is measured. The method also includes detecting the presence of an accumulation of ice particles based on the parameter measured within the interior volume of the heated conduit. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
