Abstract

972, 171. Electric bridge circuits. UNITED STATES ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION. Oct. 18, 1962 [Nov. 22, 1961], No. 39516/62. Heading G1U. [Also in Division G4] An intruder alarm system (for use in an enclosure) includes a single source of light energy 1 (Fig. 1) and several pairs of light sensitive detectors 2, connected in a bridge circuit energized from a D.C. source such that the individual members of each pair are in opposite arms of the bridge. An alarm is connected across the bridge to respond to out of balance conditions. The system is such that the output voltage is independent of variations in the light or voltage sources, but is very sensitive to interruption or variation in light intensity at one pair of detectors. In the first described embodiment (Fig. 2) the D.C. supply is derived by rectifying and smoothing an A.C. supply 10, 11, a suitable voltage being tapped from the potentiometer 22. The supply circuit includes a relay coil 24 which actuates the contacts 25 and hence an indicator 27 in the event of a supply failure. The bridge may be composed of pairs of photoresistors or cadmium sulphide cells 30, 31 and 32, 33 and any out of balance condition, caused by interference with the light pattern at one of the pairs, actuates the relay coil 34 and hence the contacts 37 and the alarm 38. Any failure of the light source affects all pairs equally and so the intruder alarm does not operate, but the increased impedance of the bridge can be utilized to operate relay 24, so that this will indicate failure of the bridge supply sources. If the alarm actuating source 26 is a battery it can be connected into the circuit across the leads 23, 29 so as to act as an auxiliary supply in the event of a mains voltage failure. A second embodiment (Fig. 3) is battery powered and is arranged to extend the battery life by using the battery 40 to energize a free running multivibrator 45 which pulses the light source 47 intermittently. The bridge and alarm circuits are also energized from the same source.
