Patent number: 5486810Abstract: A integrated IR detector for detecting both motion and fire/smoke includes in one embodiment a single source of IR radiation and separate IR sensors for sensing motion and smoke. The separate sensors are coupled by their outputs to separate amplifier circuits and provide separate outputs indicating motion (intrusion) detection and smoke detection. The entire arrangement of IR source and dual sensors are mounted in a single housing and powered by a common power supply. In a second embodiment, a single passive IR motion detector having a pair of phase opposed series connected sensors is coupled to a circuit for detecting motion (intrusion) while one of the pair of sensors is coupled to a circuit for sensing changes in ambient temperature. The circuit for detecting ambient temperature changes includes logic analysis and time constant filtering to produce an alarm signal only when ambient temperature changes exceed a preset threshold rate of degrees per second.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 1994Date of Patent: January 23, 1996Inventor: Frank Schwarz

Patent number: 5393978Abstract: A motion sensor having front and rear fields of view includes a housing containing an infrared sensor mounted on a surface which may be a circuit board containing associated electronics to form the motion detector which produces an output in response to the motion of a warm body passing through the sensor's field of view. A front part of the housing is provided with a forward looking optical system, preferably a multifaceted Fresnel lens, and a rear part of the housing is provided with at least one rearward looking optical system. A reflector is provided directly between the sensor and the forward looking optical system for reflecting infrared light entering the rearward looking optical system onto the detector. According to one embodiment of the invention, the rearward looking optical system includes a pair of Fresnel lenses and the reflector is a flat mirror.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1993Date of Patent: February 28, 1995Inventor: Frank Schwarz

Patent number: 4982176Abstract: Solar powered outdoor lighting and/or alarm systems are provided and include a light source or alarm, a passive infrared (PIR) sensor in conjunction with a battery recharged via solar cells, and a control circuit coupled to the light source or alarm, the PIR sensor, and the rechargeable battery. The control circuit guarantees that the light source or alarm is turned on by the battery only when the sensor senses the presence of a moving target. The systems may include a light detector which is utilized to prevent the system from activating in daylight. In the case of a lighting system, a timer is utilized to turn off a lamp after a desired period of time (e.g. 3 minutes). By limiting the "on-time" of the light source, a two to five watt bulb may be used. In the case of an alarm, the alarm may be hardwired to the control circuit; or if desired, a transmitter powered by the rechargeable battery may be used to transmit an alarm signal to a remote receiver.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 1990Date of Patent: January 1, 1991Inventor: Frank Schwarz
