Patent number: 7724280Abstract: A surveillance system having two specialized surveillance cameras with corresponding specialized illuminators is provided in a dual compartment container that eliminates internal light reflection problems by separating each camera and corresponding illuminator while combining each camera with an alternate illuminator, rendering the system more accurate, yet more compact and suited to unobtrusive placement. Considerable heat is generated by the specialized illuminators, requiring a heat sink to preserve illuminator life expectancy and to prevent the adjacent cameras from being adversely affected by the heat. Another feature enabling the system to work in its compact form despite the heat from the illuminators is that the protective case itself is adapted to be a heat sink for the illuminators.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2004Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Bosch Security Systems BVInventors: Jack Gin, Dan Hsu

Publication number: 20100115844Abstract: A method for detecting a position of a door includes providing a switch having a body with two electrical contacts and a through-channel. Two lever arms extend from the body. Each of the arms is attached to a respective one of the electrical contacts. The arms have a first position relative to each other wherein the contacts are electrically connected to each other, and a second position relative to each other wherein the contacts are electrically disconnected from each other. A hinge pin is inserted through the through-channel of the switch and is also inserted into a door hinge. The arms are biased against a doorjamb and the door, respectively. It is monitored whether the contacts are electrically connected to each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2008Publication date: May 13, 2010Applicants: Bosch Security Systems, Inc., Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Jim Riley, Steve Markham

Publication number: 20100019859Abstract: A microstripline transmission line arrangement carries a signal having a fundamental frequency. The arrangement includes a first microstripline transmission line, a second microstripline transmission line, and a coaxial electrically conductive conduit interconnecting the first transmission line and the second transmission line. The conduit includes a signal conductor and an electrically grounded shield substantially surrounding the signal conductor. The conductor and the shield are positioned relative to each other to thereby comprise a means for lowpass filtering the signal. A cutoff frequency of the lowpass filtering is less than a third harmonic of the fundamental frequency.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2008Publication date: January 28, 2010Applicants: Bosch Security Systems, Inc., Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Lance Dion Lascari

Publication number: 20090303069Abstract: An anti-masking system and method for a motion detector includes a plurality of anti-masking components such as a spreading lens, at least one reflector located outside a housing of the motion detector, and a retroreflector located on the housing proximate to a lens. The system and method uses the plurality of anti-masking components to determine whether the lens of the motion detector has been masked by an object.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2009Publication date: December 10, 2009Applicants: Bosch Security System , Inc., Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: ROBERT H. CARL, JR.

Patent number: 7532735Abstract: A speaker mounting assembly adjustably supports a speaker from a mounting surface. The speaker mounting assembly comprises a speaker enclosure, a support arm, and a mounting bracket mounted to a mounting surface. The speaker enclosure defines a window opening, and the window opening is constructed to receive entry of an insert portion of the support arm. A latch supported by the enclosure and extending from the window opening can be used to engage with the insert portion to automatically retain the support arm when the insert portion is inserted into the window opening. A post extends within the enclosure window and the insert portion engages the post so as to enable pivoting of the speaker enclosure about the support arm. A set screw extends through a channel of the support arm toward the mounting bracket and based on position of the screw, permits pivoting of the support arm about the mounting bracket.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2005Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: Bosch Security Systems, Inc.Inventors: Ryan P. Whitehouse, Michael Carpenter, Christopher Hart

Publication number: 20090114801Abstract: A security sensor apparatus senses movement of an object. The sensor apparatus includes an electronics arrangement having an optical emitter and an optical receiver. The optical receiver has an axis of reception. The optical emitter emits a first beam along an axis of emission in an emission direction. The axis of emission diverges in the emission direction from the axis of reception at an angle of at least two degrees. The electronics arrangement is mounted in association a first surface of the object or a second surface of a structure disposed in opposition to the first surface. A reflector arrangement includes at least one reflective surface and is mounted in association with the other of the first surface and the second surface. The at least one reflective surface receives at least a portion of the first beam and produces a second beam directed at and received by the optical receiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2009Publication date: May 7, 2009Applicants: Bosch Security Systems, Inc,, Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: William Dipoala, Dave Anderson, Jeffrey Swan

Patent number: 7009106Abstract: A shielding assembly and method for use with an electromagnetic field generating source. The assembly includes an outer housing that includes a conductive material. The outer housing defines a chamber in which the field generating source is located. A polymeric inner body substantially fills the chamber. The inner body is spaced from and circumscribes the field generating source. The field generating source may be the resonant oscillator of a microwave transceiver circuit and the inner body may advantageously include between 2–10%, by weight, of a semiconductive filler such as carbon or graphite. A printed circuit board may be attached to the outer housing to define the chamber together with the outer housing. The inner body may be secured within the chamber by compressive engagement between the printed circuit board and outer housing. Spacing elements are used to provide a clearance gap between the printed circuit board and the inner body.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2003Date of Patent: March 7, 2006Assignee: Bosch Security Systems, Inc.Inventor: William S.
