Abstract:
Portable pest repellant apparatus and methods, which is designed to be worn by an animal. A high frequency crystal speaker (15) having a relatively narrow operating band is provided with a signal which is generated by the speaker and, therefore, requires little energy to output sound at its nominal frequency. A pulsing circuit (11) is provided which pulses the output of the speaker (15) in such a manner that pest are equally annoyed and therefore repelled as if the sound was continuous.
Abstract:
A low duty cycle relaxation oscillator (12) periodically gates an ultrasonic frequency relaxation oscillator (13) into an on state. The ultrasonic frequency oscillations are supplied to an electric-compressional wave transducer (15) by way of a push-pull driver (14). The duty cycle and repetition rate of the relaxation oscillator (12) and the ultrasonic oscillation frequency are such that compressional waves derived by the transducer (15) incident on fleas in the region where the transducer (15) is located repels the fleas. All active elements in the oscillator (12,13) and driver (14) are CMOS devices which draw only leakage current while in quiescent bi-level states and through current from a battery (21) during transitions between the bi-level states. The drain from the battery (21) is reduced by connecting a high impedance (74) between the battery (21) and the CMOS devices (31,...36) during a relaxation oscillator transition.
Abstract:
Dispositif portatif repoussant les parasites, destiné à être porté par un animal, et procédés d'utilisation. Un transducteur à cristal à haute fréquence (15) possédant une bande de fonctionnement relativement étroite est alimenté avec un signal produit par le transducteur même et ne nécessite, par conséquent, que peu d'énergie pour produire le son à sa fréquence nominale. Un circuit d'impulsions (11) fait pulser le signal de sortie du transducteur (15) de manière à provoquer le même niveau de gêne qu'un son continu pour les parasites afin de les chasser.

The transducer unit comprises: a first transducer tuned at a first frequency located between a lower frequency and an upper frequency; a second transducer tuned at a second frequency located between the first frequency and the upper frequency, and a third transducer tuned at a third frequency located between the second frequency and the upper frequency.
Abstract:
A personal security alarm in the form of a wearable case containing an sonic alarm transducer, a capacitor power supply, and a manually operable trigger for completing an electrical circuit between the power supply and the alarm transducer to operate the transducer by discharging the power supply. An oscillator is electrically connected between the power supply and the alarm transducer when the trigger operates, to output a variable frequency signal. An amplifier electrically connected between the oscillator and the alarm transducer amplifies the tone signal and drives the alarm transducer with the amplified signal. The oscillator can be programmed with a predefined variable frequency signal. A charger can be coupled through the case to charge the capacitor power supply without removing the power supply from the case. If the alarm is triggered, a catch mechanism must be released to deactivate the sonic alarm prior to completion of a preset interval, thus thwarting potential deactivation of the alarm, should an attacker seize control of it.
Abstract:
A portable animal control unit includes circuitry incorporated in a miniature housing for generating an animal influencing modulated soundwave in the ultrasonic frequency range. A first oscillator produces an output signal for driving an ultrasonic transducer, the output signal having a center frequency in the ultrasonic range. A second oscillator produces an output control signal for modulating the frequency of the first oscillator, the modulation rate being determined by the center frequency of the second oscillator output signal and the amount of deviation of the second oscillator from the center frequency.
Abstract:
Ultrasonic pest control apparatus comprising an elongated housing having opposite ends, a sound generator carried by the housing adjacent one end thereof and including at least one transducer for providing output sound waves when driven by an electrical signal, the sound waves being directed outwardly from the end of the housing and having a frequency normally inaudible to humans and intolerable by pests such as rodents and the like, and an electrical connector element at the other end of the housing adapted to be inserted manually into a standard electrical outlet receptacle commonly found in buildings and the like. The connector can be of the prong type or of the threaded type commonly found on the base of electric lamps. The transducer preferably is driven in a manner such that the generated sound waves are a composite output in the form of a random pattern of harmonies.
