Abstract
Abstract Fire and explosion detection apparatus comprises an ultra violet detector providing a first output signal in response to receipt of ultra violet radiation and an infra red detector providing a second output signal in response to receipt of infra red radiation. A logical AND circuit, in response to simultaneously occurring first and second output signals, provides a third output signal indicative of simultaneous receipt of ultra violet and infra red radiation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
Fire and explosion detection apparatus comprising: a first detector for sensing radiation within a first frequency range excluding radiation in the visible spectrum and providing a first output indication in response to receipt of such radiation; a second detector for sensing radiation within a second frequency range excluding radiation in the visible spectrum and providing a second output indication in response to receipt of such radiation; and logic means for ANDing said first and second output indications and providing a third output indication of simultaneous receipt of radiation within said first and second frequency ranges.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
Fire and explosion detection apparatus comprising: a first detector for sensing radiation within a first frequency range excluding radiation in the visible spectrum and providing a first output indication in response to receipt of such radiation; a second detector for sensing radiation within a second frequency range excluding radiation in the visible spectrum and providing a second output indication in response to receipt of such radiation; and logic means for ANDing said first and second output indications and providing a third output indication of simultaneous receipt of radiation within said first and second frequency ranges.
