Abstract: An automatic system for vehicle location, collision notification, and synthetic voice communication. A program stored in a controller's memory has a plurality of data structures formulated into instruction modules and at least one navigational location record. A Global Positioning Module receives data from an associated Global Positioning System and translates the received data into the vehicle's present navigational position. An Automatic Speed Controlled Location Detection Module in communication with the Global Positioning Module dynamically searches the memory for a match between the vehicle's present navigational position and the navigational location record. The Automatic Speed Controlled Collision Detection Module in communication with the Automatic Speed Controlled Location Detection Module formulates the match between the vehicle's navigational position and the navigational location record into a collision event.

Abstract: An intelligent alerting and locating communication system includes a centrally located scanner which communicates with a plurality of remotely located receivers to continuously monitor conditions through a plurality of detectors associated with each receiver, including smoke detectors and motion detectors, and through personal radio transmitters. Each detector detects an off-normal state in a monitored condition and makes an indication that is sensed by at least one receiver which stores the occurrence in memory. Each radio frequency transmitter emits a unique coded signal which is received by one or more receivers. If the coded signal is in a valid format, the coded signal is stored in memory. If the coded signal matches a unique code assigned to that receiver, a matched code signal is generated and also stored in memory.

Abstract: An expansive and expandable monitoring system which in one of its broadest embodiments includes a multi-sector, multi-condition monitoring system including radio linked alert monitors, smoke monitors and an expandable range of activity monitors such as door-opening monitors and toilet-flushing monitors and including method and apparatus for identifying a particular monitor within a sector; wherein each sector stands itself as a unique sub-system built about a two-wire bus on which both power identifying signals are simultaneously conveyed along the same two wires; and within each sector, the plurality of monitoring devices receive operating power from a common power source and convey identifying signals to a common discriminator (identifier) arrangement all along the common two-wire bus, each monitoring device being constructed with a unique arrangement of current modulating and signal/voltage isolation elements to facilitate the common bus--common power source--common discriminator scheme of the present inve

Abstract: A system of controlling the operation of an AC load with a switch placed in series with the load, which switch is itself operated by dc control logic powered by power loss experienced by the switch which the logic controls. Numerous elements in the control system perform multiple functions allowing the control logic to remain alive during both the on and off mode of the switch without power being provided to the logic by separate conductors to the AC power source, such that the control system is completely self powered and self regulated by simply placing the system, with two wires, into a series loop with the AC power source and the load.

Abstract: In a phase locked loop tuning system for a television receiver including a frequency divider for prescaling the frequency of a local oscillator signal generated by a controlled oscillator, a lockup inhibiting arrangement is provided for causing the controlled oscillator to temporarily oscillate at a frequency for which the amplitude of the local oscillator signal is sufficiently high to overcome any self-oscillation of the prescaler before phase locked loop control is enabled whenever the receiver is initially turned on or when a channel in a new band is selected.
