Patents by Inventor Keith Michael Konheim

Keith Michael Konheim has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11302162
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to circuit that improves alarm systems by adding the flexibility through software to configure an output terminal for typical device functions of Alarm System Devices. With a number of these circuits on a single Circuit Board, installers can use fewer different Circuit Boards. Alarm systems may be constructed from many different components and sensors. These components and sensors may be connected either with wires or wireless networks. This present invention improves the ability to connect components and sensors for a Wired Alarm System. Present Alarm systems have dedicated terminals for each different sensor, keypad or human interface, Contacts for Windows and Doors, Solenoids to remotely unlock Doors.

  • Publication number: 20210118275
    Abstract: New to the art, which Sound and Or Light Automatic Variation System introduces is both computer controlled volume implemented in a method of varying the volume and changing this volume level to adjacent speakers which creates a sensation of movement of the sound being played. New to the art of strobe lights used to disorientate people or animals as a non-lethal weapon, implemented in a method that varies the frequency with computer control to improve the effectiveness.
