SINGLE-WAVE MULTI-ANGLE SMOKE ALARM ALGORITHM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240046767 titled 'SINGLE-WAVE MULTI-ANGLE SMOKE ALARM ALGORITHM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a smoke detector that uses light scattering effects to detect the presence of smoke or other ambient materials in a chamber. The detector includes a housing, a single receiver, and first and second emitters that emit light into the chamber. The scattered light is then received by the single receiver, which generates output signals. A controller analyzes these signals to determine if an alarm should be triggered.

  • The smoke detector uses light scattering effects to detect the presence of smoke or other ambient materials.
  • It includes a housing that defines a chamber for receiving the ambient materials.
  • The detector has a single receiver, first and second emitters, and a controller.
  • The emitters emit light into the chamber, which is scattered by the ambient materials.
  • The scattered light is received by the single receiver, which generates output signals.
  • The controller analyzes these signals to determine if an alarm should be triggered.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Smoke detection in residential and commercial buildings.
  • Fire detection in industrial settings.
  • Early warning systems for wildfires.
  • Air quality monitoring in indoor environments.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides an efficient and reliable method for detecting the presence of smoke or other ambient materials.
  • Can quickly alert individuals to potential fire hazards.
  • Helps prevent property damage and save lives by triggering timely alarms.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved safety and security in buildings.
  • Early detection of fires or hazardous conditions.
  • Reduces the risk of property damage and loss.
  • Provides peace of mind for occupants of buildings.


Original Abstract Submitted

a smoke detector is provided and includes a housing defining a chamber for receiving ambient materials, a single receiver, first and second emitters configured to emit light into the chamber to be respectively scattered from the ambient materials toward the single receiver with back scatter and forward scatter effects, respectively, and a controller. the single receiver generates first and second output signals in accordance with the light respectively scattered toward the single receiver with the back and forward scatter effects, respectively. the controller is receptive of the first and second output signals and determines whether a condition is appropriate to trigger an alarm.
