  • Photoflash lamp array having shielded switching circuit
    Patent number: 4104705
    Abstract: A flash lamp array having a plurality of flash lamps positioned over a side of a circuit board having thereon circuitry for sequentially flashing the lamps. A metal shield, in the form of a sheet of metal foil or foil-covered paper, is positioned adjacent to the other side of the circuit board and is in contact with a common electrical run on the circuit board by means of a staple through the circuit board. Strips of radiation-sensitive plastic are positioned between the shield and the circuit board to function as electrical insulation, and also function as flash indicators by distorting due to radiation from an adjacent flashing lamp.

  • Smoke detector
    Patent number: 4104619
    Abstract: A smoke detector comprising a smoke detection cell of the ionization type and an electrical network providing for a.c. operation of the detection cell. The impedance of the detection cell changes in the presence of airborne combustion products and alters the operating frequency of the network. The frequency change is sensed to actuate an alarm. A.C. operation avoids the problem of d.c. instability in the high impedance detection cell circuit and simplifies sensing the electrical condition of the detection cell. The electrical network typically uses MOS-FET devices as the active circuit elements.
