Window heating control system and methods of operating the same

Abstract:

A window heating system for providing current to a heating element includes a first sensor, a second sensor, and a sensor selection module configured to determine a state of the first and the second sensors. The sensor selection module includes a first comparator associated with the first sensor and configured to determine whether a condition of the first sensor is satisfied. The window heating system also includes a controller configured to control current to the heating element based on the second sensor when the first comparator determines the condition of the first sensor is not satisfied.
