1. A method of indicating a degree of incoming threat to an electronically secured area comprising the steps of:
- a) sensing via a sensor means a degree of threat delivered to a secured area;
b) generating from the output of said means an electric signal proportional to said degree of threat;
c) analyzing said signal to determine if it represents a low degree of threat or a high degree of threat; and
d) producing either a first pulse representing said low degree of threat or separately producing said first pulse and a second pulse representing a signal having both said low degree of threat and said high degree of threat.

Abstract
A method of indicating a degree of incoming threat to an electronically secured area consists of the steps of sensing via sensor a degree of threat delivered to a secured area and generating an electric signal proportional to the degree of threat; analyzing the signal to determine if it is a low degree of threat or a high degree of threat; and producing either a first pulse representing low degree of threat or separately producing the first pulse and a second pulse representing a signal having both low degree of threat and high degree of threat.

39. A method of blocking undesirable signals from activation of an alarm in an electronically secured area comprising the steps of:
-
a) sensing via a sensor means a degree of threat delivered to a protected area; b) generating from the output of said sensor means an electric signal, having strength proportional to said degree of threat; c) amplifying said signal to produce an amplified signal; d) deleting the front end of said amplified signal and removing it from further consideration; e) inputting said amplified signal to a comparator for comparing said amplified signal against a known reference; f) producing in response to said comparison either a first pulse, representing a low degree of threat, or separately producing said first pulse and a second pulse, representing a signal having both said low degree of threat and a high degree of threat; and g) simultaneously preventing the output of either said separate first and second pulses or said first pulse to an alarm until said amplified signal disappears and later reappears. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53)

54. A method of indicating a degree of an incoming threat to an electronically secured area comprising the steps of:
-
a) sensing via a sensor means a degree of threat delivered to an electronically secured area including the step of generating an alternating current signal whose amplitude is proportional to said degree of threat; b) analyzing said signal to determine if it is of a low, degree of threat or of a high degree of threat, including the steps of; i) rectifying and amplifying said signal; ii) impressing the resulting rectified, amplified signal simultaneously to at least two separate integrators of different sensitivity; iii) impressing the resulting separate integrated, amplified signals to at least two signal comparators of different sensitivity, one in series with each of said integrators; and iv) activating at least one pulse generator responsive to an output of each said signal comparator; and d) producing either a first pulse representing said low degree of threat or separately producing said first and a second pulse representing a signal having both said low degree and said high degree of threat. - View Dependent Claims (55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65)

66. Art electronic security system for indicating a degree of threat incoming to an electronically secured area comprising:
-
a) sensor means for sensing a degree of threat delivered to a secured area having the capability of outputting an electric signal having strength proportional to said degree of threat; b) a capacitor through which said signal is passed to remove any direct current and voltage therefrom; c) means for analyzing said signal to determine if it represents a low degree of threat or a high degree of threat including; i) a signal amplifier for receiving said signal from said sensor means; and ii) a pair of voltage integrators connected to an output of said amplifier, one said integrator having a high sensitivity for responding to a low intensity amplified signal and the other said integrator having a lower sensitivity for responding to a higher intensity amplified signal and for simultaneously receiving said amplified signal from said amplifier; and d) means for producing either separate first and second pulses representing a signal containing both a low degree of threat and a high degree of threat, or said first pulse representing said low degree of threat including a pair of voltage comparators/output-pulse-generators, one connected to each said voltage integrator for comparing outputs produced from each said integrator and for producing a first pulse representing said low degree of threat from said high sensitivity integrator and for producing both said first and said separate second pulse from both said generators representing said low degree of threat from said high sensitivity integrator and said high degree of threat from said low sensitivity integrator. - View Dependent Claims (67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77)
