  • Patent number: 6703932
    Abstract: A warning system comprises a piezo-electric ceramic capable of resonating with an ultrasonic wave having a frequency within a predetermined frequency band and thus outputting an electric signal, a resonator capable of detecting only a signal component having a specific frequency from the electric signal output from the piezo-electric ceramic. When the resonator has detected a signal component having a specific frequency, an alarm signal is continuously generated for a predetermined time set by a timer, so that a warning notice is produced by an alarm device in accordance with the alarm signal.

  • Patent number: 4864288
    Abstract: A Hall-effect device and a magnet are mounted on respective resonant bridge supports in magnetic field relationship whereby movement of either the magnet or the Hall-effect device produces a change in the field strength at the Hall-effect device. The two support structures with their mounted components exhibit different natural resonant frequencies whereby stimuli in either of two different ranges causes one or both of the magnet or Hall-effect device to move at their resonant frequency producing a signal. Signal processing circuitry disregards D.C. signals from the Hall-effect device and responds only to A.C. signals, indicative of shocks in the 1000 to 2000 Hertz range or movement of the detector with components in less than the 150 Hertz range. Three different bridge structures are disclosed, one with separate bridges, one employing common support columns and one which is integrally molded.

  • Patent number: 4656458
    Abstract: Disclosed is a motion sensor for sensing movement of an object to be monitered, the motion sensor comprising a support disk having a concave upper surface, a ball rotatably put on the support disk, and a piezoelectric element attached on the support disk. If the object attached with the motion sensor inclines or swings, the ball rolls on the support disk to cause the support disk to vibrate. The vibration is taken out as an electric signal by the piezoelectric element and the electric signal informs of the fluctuation occured on the object. An electromagnet, upon energization, prevents rolling movement of the ball.

  • Patent number: 4654883
    Abstract: A radio transmitter and receiver device in which a head band has a transmitting microphone at one end and a receiving speaker at the other end. This microphone comprises a bone transmission type microphone for detecting aural oscillation of an external auditory canal transmitted through a bone tissue of a head portion from a mouth, said microphone being brought into contact with a side head portion at the rear of an ear. Thus, one ear is blocked by the speaker but the other ear is open, and therefore, a user can catch noises thereabout. A transmitting and receiving antenna has matching means and is mounted on the side of the speaker.

  • Patent number: 4591668
    Abstract: A vibration-detecting-type microphone for detecting voice vibrations by being contacted to the buccal region or the mastoid of the temporal region of a user. This microphone has a belt-like diaphragm whose both ends are fixed to a casing with one end open, a piezoelectric element installed on the rear central part of this diaphragm, and a vibration pickup situated on the external surface of this diaphragm and designed to be contacted with the human body. The rear surface of the vibration pickup has at least one pair of sensing elements, and these sensing elements are located in such a way that they will not oppose the piezoelectric element through the diaphragm. This arrangement makes it possible to select and set the resonance frequency of the diaphragm and microphone, as desired.

  • Patent number: 4349820
    Abstract: A tone signal decoder in a remote control device which uses one tone signal to feed information. The tone signal decoder comprises a charge and discharge circuit having a capacitor to control the latter by application of said tone signal thereto, a bypass circuit for charging or discharging said capacitor, when said tone signal is not applied, within the time shorter than the charge or discharge time by said charge and discharge circuit, and a threshold circuit actuated when said capacitor reaches a threshold level. Immediately when said tone signal is interrupted by said bypass circuit, said capacitor is brought into an initial set state to prevent malfunction with respect to the other tone signal fed by the same carrier.

  • Patent number: 4337454
    Abstract: An alarm unit is provided which prevents a theft of a vehicle by producing acoustical alarm whenever a third party opens a door of the vehicle. The unit operates by applying a remote control signal from an external signal emitter to a pickup assembly which is mounted inside the vehicle on a front or a rear glass pane. A control circuit connected to the pickup assembly is then set in its standby mode, and conditions the unit to produce an acoustical alarm if the door is opened during such mode. The standby mode is reset by a second application of the remote control signal to the pickup assembly.
