  • Patent number: 4658237
    Abstract: An alarm system (10) for detecting unauthorized intrusion into a vehicle and determining the location of such vehicle includes a vehicle alarm (11) and one or more networks (12, 13, 14) for receiving the output signal from vehicle alarm (11). Vehicle alarm (11) includes a transmitter (40) for broadcasting a low frequency modulated radio frequency alarm signal at the citizen band distress frequency and a control unit (25) for selectively activating the alarm upon a drop in the voltage magnitude of the vehicle power supply (27) induced by an unauthorized intrusion. Networks (12, 13, 14) respectively include citizen band radio detectors (15), mobile dedicated alarm detectors (16), and fixed dedicated alarm detectors (17) accompanied by a display unit (18).

  • Patent number: 4438428
    Abstract: A multiple function alarm (10) for the security of an individual within a preselected area, the alarm (10) having substantially all its electrical components mounted to a board (12), includes a switch (14) for selecting the function the alarm is to perform; a smoke detector (16) for optically detecting the presence of smoke including a light source (72) for generating light and a light sensor (73) both mounted on the board (12); intrusion detector (15) for detecting an unauthorized intrusion into the selected area, a visual alarm (18) and audio alarm (19) for communicating to the individual the presence of a potential security threat; and a plate assembly (13) for housing switch (14), the intrusion detector (15) and the alarms (18, 19) in operative association with the electrical components mounted to the board (12).

  • Patent number: 4335710
    Abstract: Brain wave patterns associated with relaxed and meditative states in a subject are gradually induced without deleterious chemical or neurological side effects. A white noise generator (11) has the spectral noise density of its output signal modulated in a manner similar to the brain wave patterns by a switching transistor (18) within a spectrum modulator (12). The modulated white noise signal is amplified by output amplifier (13) and converted to an audio signal by acoustic transducer (14). Ramp generator (16) gradually increases the voltage received by and resultant output frequency of voltage controlled oscillator (17) whereby switching transistor (18) periodically shunts the high frequency components of the white noise signal to ground.
