Patent Images
1. A safety sensing system for detection of a mammal in an extreme temperature situation in a vehicle having seating comprising:
- a) a temperature sensor;
b) at least two sensors for the detection of a mammal selected from the group consisting of;
i. a load sensor beneath one or more of the vehicle seats;
ii. a seatbelt closure sensor for each of one or more of the vehicle seatbelts;
iii. a motion detector sensor;
iv. a sound sensor;
v. a heartbeat sensor;
vi. an image sensor;
c) a microcontroller in communication with the sensors which determines from at least one of the mammal selecting sensors if there is a mammal in the vehicle at an extreme temperature; and
d) an alarm coupled with the microcontroller which is activated when the microcontroller determines there is a mammal in the vehicle at an extreme temperature.

Abstract
The present invention is a system for detecting the presence of a mammal, such as a child, inside a vehicle which is experiencing extreme temperatures. The system initiates one or more alarms such that a passersby, the authorities, the driver, contacts, or the like can rescue the mammal before harm can occur.
