Filed:

May 20, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/442551

Inventors:

Mark S. West - Palo Alto CA, US
G. Mark Miller - Alamo CA, US

Assignee:

Sentinel Vision, Inc. - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

H04M 1104

US Classification:

379 45, 379 37

Abstract:

The security detection system includes a detection unit capable of detecting a condition, said unit in communication with a remote central server. Where the detection unit is connected to the server via a dial-up modem, the detection system may be connected to a telephone seizure unit. Upon occurrence and detection of a condition, the detection unit prevents a telephone from communicating with a main telephone line, while still allowing said detection unit to communicate electronic information to the server, even upon lifting of the telephone receiver from the base. Once electronic information is sent to the server, a programmed database of the server may send the information according to a pre-determined designation. The server monitors whether a designated party has responded to the information, and if not, may send the information to a human monitoring station. The designated party may request and receive additional information from the detection unit, via the server.

US Classification:

313346R

Abstract:

A large area directly heated lanthanum hexaboride (LaB. sub. 6) cathode system (10) is disclosed. The system comprises a LaB. sub. 6 cathode element (11) generally circular in shape about a central axis. The cathode element (11) has a head (21) with an upper substantially planar emission surface (23), and a lower downwardly and an intermediate body portion (26) which diminishes in cross-section from the head (21) towards the base (22) of the cathode element (11). A central rod (14) is connected to the base (22) of the cathode element (11) and extends along the central axis. Plural upstanding spring fingers (37) are urged against an outer peripheral contact surface (24) of the head end (21) to provide a mechanical and electrical connection to the cathode element (11).
