Perceptible signals giving an impression of continuous pace change
First Claim
1. A signal generator comprising:
- a signal generator of a repeated time-limited sequence of perceptible signals;
said time-limited sequence of perceptible signals having at least a first set of signal elements and a second set of signal elements, exclusive to but interleaved and/or overlaid with said first set of signal elements;
a majority of said signal elements of said first set of signal elements occurring at continuously and monotonically changing intervals within said time-limited sequence of perceptible signals;
a majority of said signal elements of said second set of signal elements occurring at continuously and monotonically changing intervals within said time-limited sequence of perceptible signals;
a general trend of signal element characteristics and intervals of said signal elements of said first set in an end part of said time-limited sequence of perceptible signals being similar to a general trend of signal element characteristics and intervals of said signal elements of said second set in a beginning part of said time-limited sequence of perceptible signals.

Abstract
A perceptible signal is provided, which is a repetition of a time-limited perceptible signal sequence. The time-limited perceptible signal sequence comprises at least two sets of signal elements, each of which constituting a general trend in signal characteristics as well as interval. The general trend in the end of one set agrees essentially with the general trend in the beginning of another set within the time-limited signal sequence. When the sequences are repeated, a transfer between sets of signal elements becomes essentially unnoticeable, creating perceived signal sequences extending over several sequence intervals. In one aspect of the present invention, a mammal can be exposed for such a perceptible signal. In another aspect of the present invention, a memory device has a representation of such perceptible signals stored for enabling an easy retrieval of the perceptible signal.
