WINDSHIELD MOISTURE DETECTOR

A moisture detector can include a first elongated conductor (100) disposed on a substrate (104). The first conductor (100) can define a zigzag path between the opposite ends thereof. A second conductor (102) can also be disposed on the substrate (104) at least partially surrounding the first conduct...

Zusammenfassung:A moisture detector can include a first elongated conductor (100) disposed on a substrate (104). The first conductor (100) can define a zigzag path between the opposite ends thereof. A second conductor (102) can also be disposed on the substrate (104) at least partially surrounding the first conductor (100). The second conductor (102) can define between opposite ends thereof a zigzag path having a portion thereof that is positioned in substantially spaced parallel relation with the zigzag path of the first conductor (100) along the sides thereof. A power conductor (106) disposed on the substrate (104) can be electrically connected to the first conductor (100) intermediate the ends thereof via a gap (103) defined between the ends of the second conductor (102). Ground conductors (108) disposed on the substrate (104) can be electrically connected to the ends of the second conductor (102). A temperature sensor (122) can be utilized to correct the response of the moisture detector for temperature.
