Crowdsourcing Patent and Technology

Valuation and Exploitation

Fail-Safe Smoke Detector

Problem

The challenge of the invention is to enable the continuous and automatic setting of the light intensity threshold of a smoke detector, ensuring fail-safe operation of the smoke detector even if the emitted light from the IR-source varies in intensity (e.g. in case of a contaminated light source, deterioration of the light source or the battery).
