Title: Paul Kidson and His Infrared Intruder Detection System.
Introduction
Paul Kidson is an inventor associated with Southampton, Great Britain. His recorded patent concerns an infrared intruder detection system designed to identify intruders while reducing false alarms.
Latest Patents
Kidson’s listed patent, “Infrared Intruder Detection System,” describes a system with two separate channels, each equipped with a pyroelectric detector and a threshold-level comparator. The detectors produce dual-polarity voltage outputs when an intruder-related infrared image moves across them. A logic circuit analyzes the comparator outputs from both channels and recognizes sequences that indicate an intruder, triggering an alarm or switching output. The system can also identify shock-induced outputs, helping it distinguish potential intrusions from disturbances and improve resistance to false triggering. Kidson is associated with 1 patent.
Career Highlights
The available information associates Kidson with U.S. Philips Corporation. His patent reflects work on infrared sensing, signal analysis, and alarm-system reliability.
Collaborations
Michael A. Rose is identified as Kidson’s coworker. The supplied information does not specify the nature of their collaboration or their respective contributions to the patent.
Conclusion
Paul Kidson’s recorded invention combines dual-channel infrared detection with logic-based signal analysis to support reliable intruder detection and reduce false alarms.
