Abstract:
) A multi-function omni-directional motion disturbance detection apparatus serving to identify an earthquake event, sequentially audibly alerting the user, visually orienting them, and then vocally advising them in real-time as to any actual local emergency procedures; comprising:a supporting-structure housing an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) means capable of sequencing priority functions upon activation of a detector-circuit portion thereof;a passive detector-circuit employing a full-azimuth motion-sensor device means having only two electrical conductors arranged in a stand-by modality of detection operation to initiate all priority functions;a first priority function electrically sequenced high-decibel alarm means secured within said housing confines to propagate outwardly in highly audible amplitude therefrom;a second priority function electrically sequenced electrical-lamp means mounted within said housing confines to illuminate the immediate area, whereby a person can become oriented in otherwise possible darkness;a third priority function combining an electrically sequenced radio-receiver having user pre-selected emergency frequency tuning means, vocally announcing vital real-time information;a source of electrical energy capable of powering all electrical functions but nulled until activated via said detector-circuit.
