  • Patent number: 7259658
    Abstract: According to one embodiment of a passive infrared sensor, a passive infrared sensor 1 where an infrared sensing element 5 and an optical system 4 that sets a detection area A1 of the infrared sensing element 5 are covered with a cover 2. The passive infrared sensor 1 includes: a light emitting element 6 that emits infrared light from the inside of the cover 2 to the outside through the optical system 4; a reflective region 2b that is disposed outside the cover 2 and reflects at least some of the infrared light emitted from the light emitting element 6; and a light receiving element 7 that receives the infrared light reflected by the reflective region 2b, transmitted through the optical system 4 and reaching the inside of the cover 2.

  • Publication number: 20060081783
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, an infrared detection apparatus is provided which comprises a plurality of light receiving means for detecting infrared light and outputting a signal corresponding to the infrared light, and forms a plurality of detection areas adjacent to each other in space using the light receiving means. The apparatus comprises display means for displaying a direction and an amount, and control means for determining directions and amounts of deviation of the plurality of detection areas from respective appropriate locations based on a difference in each signal output from the plurality of light receiving means when a human body is detected, and letting the display means perform display depending on the directions and amounts of the deviation.

  • Patent number: 6992577
    Abstract: The combined sensor of the present invention is comprised of an MW sensor and a PIR sensor, in which the frequency difference of two microwaves transmitted by the MW sensor is set such that the phase difference between the IF signals received by the MW sensor is approximately 180° when there is an object at the intermediate distance between the maximum detection distance within the target detection area and the maximum detection distance in the event of a deviation of the detection area attributable to mounting error of the infrared sensor 4.

  • Patent number: 6943685
    Abstract: To provide an intrusion detecting device capable of generating one of different warnings in proper timing dependent on the behavior of an intruder entering an alert region to thereby browbeat the intruder effectively, the intrusion detecting device (1) includes a plurality of sensor units (8 and 9), a sound generating device (29) capable of generating first and second warnings different from each other one at a time, and a warning generating unit (23). The sensor units (8 and 9) have a plurality of alert areas (A1 to A4) defined from a site distant from and to another site near to a subject to be monitored for security purpose and operable to detect an intruder H entering any of the alert areas (A1 to A4).
