Latest Patents
One of Raber's notable inventions is an intrusion detection system. This system includes a vibration sensor and a gate circuit that provides an output signal only after the vibration sensor produces a first signal, followed by a second signal within a preassigned 'sensing window' period. A timer circuit initiated by the sensor determines the timing interval, while a delay circuit prevents the gate circuit from switching until a preset delay time has elapsed. If a second sensor output signal is received before the timing interval expires, the gate circuit switches and passes a signal through an integrated circuit amplifier stage to energize an output unit. The sensitivity of the vibration sensor can be adjusted, and the integrated circuit stage maintains the alarm signal even if the system is switched off after going into alarm. It also checks periodically for low battery conditions and provides a warning signal if the battery level falls below a preset level.
Another significant patent is a fire detection system that utilizes a single conductor pair for both supplying energizing voltage to all fire detectors and receiving status information regarding individual detector operations. This system provides individual, successive alarm outputs to regulate functions such as evacuating the area, dumping fire extinguishing material, and calling the local fire department as successive detectors are alarmed. It includes a voltage regulator that switches into a current limiting mode to prevent inaccurate first alarm signals if the conductor pair is short-circuited. Additionally, the system provides a trouble-indicating output signal if it loses supply voltage or experiences a ripple voltage beyond a preset amplitude.
