Abstract: Information in the form of redundant message packets is sent between a remote device and a host device, e.g., a wireless security system. In order to conserve energy, the frequency of trigger events in the remote device is determined, and the number of redundant message packets sent is based on the determined frequency.

Abstract: A security system sensor has a lens lying in a forward plane that focuses received energy to a focal point that is internal to the sensor. A sensing element is located at or near the focal point of the lens. A funnel-shaped chamber between the lens and the focal point is substantially vacant so that received energy is received by the sensing element. A battery housing is positioned so that the physical volume of a battery power source contained therein is mainly rearward of the lens and the vacant funnel-shaped chamber, yet forward of a plane that is immediately rearward of the sensing element. Also, a dividing barrier, interposed between the chamber and the battery power source, extends to and seals with the sensing element and the lens, thereby providing a seal for the vacant, funnel-shaped chamber.

Abstract: An improved short distance, battery powered, amplitude modulated RF transmitter for transmitting encoded security data. An oscillator stage provides a control crystal and filter which are feedback coupled between the emitter and base of a transistor to oscillate at the fifth overtone of the fundamental crystal frequency. A filter tuned to the third harmonic of the overtone frequency selects the carrier frequency which is coupled via a resistive attenuator to an amplifier/filter stage, before the carrier is amplitude modulated with encoded security data. The improved transmitter circuit compensates for crystals exhibiting variations in series resistance and provides increased output power and improved frequency stability to temperature and over time. A foil antenna stage is augmented with the plates of the battery power supply to further improve performance.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for ranging finding of signal transmitting devices is provided. The method of signal reception is digitally based only and does not require receivers that are analog measurement devices. Ranging can be achieved using a single pulse emitting device operating in range spaced relation with a minimum of a single signal transmitter and a single digital receiver and processing circuitry. In general a plurality of transmitting pulsed emitters may be ranged and positioned virtually simultaneously in 3-dimensions (XYZ coordinates) using a configuration of a plurality of digital receivers arranged in any fixed 3-dimensional configuration. Applications may involve at least one single transmitter to receiver design to determine range, or at least one transmitted reflecting signal off from an object to determine range.

Abstract: In a wireless security system, the system controller includes one or more antennas for reception of signals from remote sensor-transmitter units. To detect antenna failure, the system controller generates a test signal with a known parameter and transmits this test signal via a first antenna. The system controller then measures the parameter of the corresponding test signal received, if any, via a second antenna, and compares the parameter of the corresponding test signal received to a predetermined threshold parameter. When the parameter of the test signal received via the second antenna differs from the threshold by a predetermined amount, or predetermined margin for error, an antenna failure message is generated.
