    Abstract: A surface heating system of an external surface of a vehicle system includes a heater and a heater controller. The heater is configured to provide heat to the external surface. The heater controller is configured to control a heater power of the heater based upon an air temperature of air external to the vehicle, a liquid water content of the air, and a speed of the vehicle.

    Abstract: A wiper arm assembly has a load member, a wiper arm, and a blade load cam with a cam slot. The load member mates with a joint disposed between first and second ends of the wiper arm. Changes in length of the load member impose a force in a lengthwise direction of the load member. The wiper arm is configured to rotate relative to the blade load cam about an axis proximate to the first end of the wiper arm. The cam slot is configured to vary the length of the load member as a function of a wiper angle in which the wiper angle is defined as the angle between the wiper arm and a starting position of the wiper arm.

    Abstract: An ice detection sensor apparatus includes a strut body extending along a longitudinal axis. The strut body includes an axially extending wall extending around the longitudinal axis to surround an interior space, and an axial-facing end wall connected to an axial end of the axially extending wall. The axial-facing end wall partially bounds the interior space. A magneto strictive oscillator sensing element extends from the interior space, through the axial-facing end wall. The sensing element is engaged to the axial-facing end wall for oscillation along the longitudinal axis relative to the axial-facing end wall. A permanent magnet (PMG) element is integral with, e.g., monolithic with, the strut body.

    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to differentiating ice accretion caused by different supercooled water droplets on an airfoil of an aircraft. A sensor having a sensing surface region is mounted at a mounting location of the airfoil such that the sensing surface region is flush with a surrounding adjacent surface of the airfoil. Water particles of sizes less than or equal to a predetermined threshold do not impinge the sensor surface region at the mounting location when the aircraft is in flight. A sensor driver provides an excitation signal to the sensor. A signal detector detects a sensor signal responsive to the provided excitation signal. The sensor signal is indicative of water particles exceeding the predetermined threshold impinging the sensing surface region. In some embodiments, the sensing surface region is mechanically coupled to a resonant cavity. In other embodiments, the sensor is a surface resistance sensor configured to sense surface resistance.
