Patent 7129846 was granted and assigned to University Corporation for Atmospheric Research on October, 2006 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A de-icing information system processes weather data indicating precipitation rate and temperature to determine a check time for a de-icing fluid. The de-icing fluid remains effective if applied after the check time, and the de-icing fluid may not remain effective if applied before the check time. The de-icing information system transfers the de-icing information indicating the check time.
