Patent ID: 7280439

Claim:
An improved alarm clock that emits light of various wavelengths and intensities for a predetermined period of time prior to the reaching of at least one time dependent alarm setpoint comprising: a base adapted for housing all components of said alarm clock; an electro-optical display adapted to display the time set on said alarm clock and said alarm setpoints; a time and alarm setting module adapted to set the time and said alarm setpoints; an electro-audible alarm; at least one light emitting element; a microprocessor means adapted to sequence the color and intensity of said emitted light in conformance with at least one programed algorithmic cycle responding to said alarm setpoints; a first contact means for silencing said electro-audible alarm for a predetermined time period, a second contact means for switching off said light emitting element, silencing said electro-audible alarm and resetting said microprocessor cycle; and a means for connecting said alarm clock to a power supply.
