Mining detection system and method
First Claim
1. A detection system comprising:
- a housing configured to be worn by a user or carried on a mobile device;
at least one sensing circuit selectively coupled to the housing that is configured to sense or detect one or more of electromagnetic radiation, ionizing radiation, a determined liquid analyte, a determined gaseous analyte, a determined powdered analyte concentration, a level of oxygen below a determine threshold value, a data signal strength, a determined level of magnetic flux, a temperature, or a pressure;
at least one communication device that is configured to one or more of generate or communicate a signal in response to the sensing or detecting by the at least one sensing circuit; and
an interference circuit configured to reduce or eliminate interference by the sensing circuit, wherein the interference circuit is an interference reduction device embedded in the housing and communicatively coupled to a microprocessor, the interference reduction device configured to discharge an accumulated charge on the detection system to reduce electromagnetic interference from sources other than a proximate active voltage source and the microprocessor is further configured to cause the interference reduction device to discharge the accumulated charge after a determined period.

Abstract
A device for detecting proximity to an active alternating current (AC) voltage source is provided. The device includes a housing, at least one antenna configured to generate a signal in response to exposure to electromagnetic radiation, signal processing circuitry configured to process the signal generated by the at least one antenna, a microprocessor configured to determine, from the processed signal, whether the alert device is proximate to the active AC voltage source, a communication device configured to generate a signal in response to a determination that the alert device is proximate the active AC voltage source, and an interference reduction device configured to discharge an accumulated charge on the alert device to reduce electromagnetic interference from sources other than the active AC voltage source.
