Jul 23, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/911106

Inventors:

Joseph Ferraro - Farmingdale NY 11735

International Classification:

G08B 1314

US Classification:

3405681, 340571, 340567, 340689, 340521

Abstract:

A flood light lamp removal alarm for security lights mounted on or near a home, wherein the lights are designed to turn on automatically if a motion detector is triggered and the ambient light level is low, detects if the motion detector or any of the flood light lamps and sockets are moved out of position, either prior to a burglary or during the attempt to disable the flood light assembly.

International Classification:

F28D 712

US Classification:

165156, 165 47, 165163, 237 55

Abstract:

A heat exchanger is mounted external to a section of flue pipe or is an integral part of a section of flue pipe. The heat exchanger preheats a domestic hot water supply and boosts the return water temperature prior to reentry to the furnace coil. The heat exchanger reduces fuel use, pollution and wear of the furnace and burner. A typical heat exchanger installation includes an oil or gas burner located on a furnace or boiler having a flue pipe leading to a gaseous outlet, such as a masonry chimney. A short vertical flue section leads to a draft-regulating damper. The flue heat exchanger may be a coil of tubing wrapped around flue section, such that the tubing picks up heat from the heated flue gasses. Preheated water exits from the heat exchanger.

A typical heat exchanger installation includes an oil or gas burner located on a furnace or boiler having a flue pipe leading to a gaseous outlet, such as a masonry chimney. A short vertical flue section leads to a draft-regulating damper. The flue heat exchanger may be a coil of copper tubing wrapped around flue section, such that the tubing picks up heat from the heated flue gasses. The cold water source is coupled to a short length of convoluted flexible tubing with coupling flanges which couple the water through the flue mounted heat exchanger. Preheated water exits from the heat exchanger through flexible tubing having a safety pressure relief valve.

Appl. No.:

9/596878

Inventors:

Joseph C. Ferraro - Wantagh NY

International Classification:

G08B 1314

US Classification:

3405681

Abstract:

A flood light lamp removal alarm for security lights mounted on or near a home, wherein the lights are designed to turn on automatically if a motion detector is triggered and the ambient light level is low, detects if any of the flood light lamps are unscrewed or loosened, either prior to a burglary or during the attempt to disable the flood light assembly. A central contact of a lamp socket is modified so that it maintains contact with the lamp therein for a longer distance as the lamp is unscrewed out, so that the alarm is triggered before the light from the lamp is disabled. Alternatively, current detectors verify when a lamp is loosened from a socket by detecting changes in current draw across the socket.
