Programmable carbon monoxide safety device

摘要

A programmable toxic gas safety device for detecting a toxic gas, such as carbon monoxide, is provided. The programmable safety device is preferably used in an enclosed area for monitoring the levels of gas emitted by a device that can produce a toxic gas. The device contains a controller which is operably coupled to at least one transmitter and at least one sensor for sensing the level of the toxic gas in the enclosed area, and is operable to provide a signal to remotely operate the toxic gas producing device. The device further contains one or more receivers for learning a command signal which actuates a specific functionality to the toxic gas producing device.

主权项

1. A programmable device for detection of toxic gasses comprising:
a controller in electrical communication with a gas sensor, a transmitter and a power source, said controller including a memory for storage of at least one predetermined command; a gas sensor in electrical communication with said controller, said gas sensor constructed and arranged to sense the concentration of a predetermined gas in the enclosed area, whereby an electrical signal indicative of concentration is transferred to said controller; a transmitter in electrical communication with said controller, said transmitter constructed and arranged for transmission of coded commands in the form of radio waves; a power source for supplying electrical power to said controller, said, gas sensor and said transmitter; said controller receiving electrical signals from said gas sensor, said controller being constructed and arranged to cause said transmitter to transmit said at least one preprogrammed command to an external device upon said controller receiving a signal indicative of said gas concentration exceeding a predetermined level, said external device being a vehicle, said vehicle including a vehicle network interface in electrical communication to a vehicular on-board computer system for sending command signals to said on-board computer system, said vehicular on-board computer system including a learn feature, whereby said vehicular on-board computer can be programmed to respond to said at least one predetermined command.
