Immediate detection system and method thereof
First Claim
1. A system for detecting at least one material in an environment, the system comprising:
- at least one sensor adapted to measure a level of the at least one material in the environment surrounding the sensor;
at least one notification device adapted to produce a repeating signal having a frequency and amplitude;
a memory comprising a preprogrammed level of the at least one material in the environment; and
means for programing a minimum notification level of the at least one material in the environment that is below the preprogrammed level;
wherein the system is adapted to notify a user with the repeating signal if the level of the at least one material in the environment exceeds the minimum notification level by producing the repeating signal as long as the level exceeds the minimum notification level and changing the frequency and/or amplitude of the repeating signal in response to the level increasing and approaching the preprogrammed level.

Abstract
Systems and methods thereof for detecting at least one material in an environment prior to the environment reaching levels deemed dangerous by conventional monitors and standards includes at least one sensor adapted to measure a level of the at least one material in the environment surrounding the sensor, at least one notification device adapted to produce a signal, and a memory comprising a preprogrammed level of the at least one material in the environment. The system is programmed with a minimum notification level of the at least one material in the environment that is below the preprogrammed level and is adapted to notify a user with the signal if the level exceeds the minimum notification level. The frequency and/or amplitude of the signal is changed as the level approaches the preprogrammed level.

10. A method for detecting at least one material in an environment around a user, the method comprising:
-
programing a minimum notification level of the at least one material in the environment that is below a preprogrammed level; measuring a level of the at least one material in the environment; notifying the user with a repeating signal having a frequency and amplitude if the level of the at least one material in the environment exceeds the minimum notification level by producing the repeating signal as long as the level exceeds the minimum notification level; and changing the frequency and/or amplitude of the repeating signal in response to the level increasing and approaching the preprogrammed level. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for detecting at least one material in an environment, the system comprising:
-
at least one sensor adapted to measure a level of the at least one material in the environment surrounding the sensor; at least one notification device adapted to produce a repeating signal having a frequency and amplitude; and means for determining if a change occurs in the level of the at least one material; wherein the determining means causes the at least one notification device to notify a user with the repeating signal if the change or a rate of the change of the level of the at least one material exceeds a first predetermined threshold, and causes the at least one notification device to change the frequency and/or the amplitude of the repeating signal in response to the change or the rate of the change of the level increasing and approaching a second predetermined threshold that is above the first predetermined threshold. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
