TL;DR: In this paper, a modified smoke detector is provided having an integrated RF receiver for receiving message packets containing information that may be conveyed through its speaker, buzzer, or other sound-emanating device.
Abstract: As system and method are provided for communicating weather conditions to remote locations, such as inside of residential homes, offices, or businesses. In accordance with one embodiment, a modified smoke detector is provided having an integrated RF receiver for receiving message packets containing information that may be conveyed through its speaker, buzzer, or other sound-emanating device. In accordance with another embodiment, a system is provided. The system which may include a mechanism for detecting a weather condition, a wireless transmitter in communication with the mechanism for detecting a weather condition, wherein the wireless transmitter configured to receive a signal from the means for detecting a weather condition and transmit a corresponding signal via electromagnetic waves. The system may also include a receiver remotely located from the wireless transmitter, the receiver configured to receive the electromagnetic signal transmitted from the smoke detector. Finally, the system may include a sound-emanating device, and a sound control mechanism for controlling the sound-emanating device, wherein the sound control mechanism is responsive to the electromagnetic signal received by the receiver. In yet another embodiment, a method is provided. The method includes steps of: (1) determining that a weather condition (e.g., severe weather condition) exists, (2) transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal containing information about the weather condition, (3) receiving the RF signal with a RF receiver disposed in a smoke detector (or other device), and (4) sounding a buzzer (or other sound emanating device) in response to receiving the RF signal.

TL;DR: In this paper, the detection of the cell phone in the area of the driver causes an action, such as making the vehicle less pleasant to drive, e.g., using a buzzer or limiting the speed of the vehicle.
Abstract: Cell phone in the area of the driver is detected. The detection of the cell phone in the area of the driver causes an action. The phone can be automatically paired with a Bluetooth capability in the vehicle. That pairing can be temporary. The vehicle can be made less pleasant to drive, e.g., by using a buzzer or limiting the speed of the vehicle.

TL;DR: In this article, a home appliance such as a laundry washing machine or refrigerator including a buzzer designed to sound an alarm or provide an audible indication of a certain condition is disclosed, and the appliance may transmit information (such as diagnostic or fault codes and appliance usage information) to a remote service center without the need for a physical connection to a telephone line.
Abstract: A home appliance, such as a laundry washing machine or refrigerator including a buzzer designed to sound an alarm or provide an audible indication of a certain condition is disclosed. The appliance may transmit information (such as diagnostic or fault codes and appliance usage information) to a remote service center without the need for a physical connection to a telephone line. The buzzer may be controlled to produce audible tones in a predetermined format which can be transmitted from the appliance, through the air and down a telephone line through a telephone handset to the service center. The signal is recorded at the service center and the data extracted. The data is then analyzed to obtain the fault and/or usage information.

TL;DR: The purpose is to automatically detect in real time the fall of the person from a single device, worn on the trunk in the "para sagittal" plane, that exhibits good specificity and sensibility.
Abstract: Our purpose is to automatically detect in real time the fall of the person from a single device, worn on the trunk in the "para sagittal" plane. The device includes 2 accelerometers, an 8 bits RISC microcontroller, a buzzer and a push button. It is serially linked to a RF-modem. It was tested on 10 healthy young persons in 15 different situations and exhibits good specificity and sensibility. Improvements can be made on the decision algorithm using non standard theories.

TL;DR: A water-activated alarm system, providing an alarm in the event of a water leak, includes a radio-frequency transmitting unit and a receiving unit and safety features to ensure proper operation.
Abstract: A water-activated alarm system, providing an alarm in the event of a water leak, includes a radio-frequency transmitting unit and a receiving unit and a number of safety features to ensure proper operation in the event of an emergency. The transmitting unit includes a flood detector having electrodes to be placed in a flood prone area, a tone encoder, for sending an encoded signal in the event of a flood, and means to provide visible and audible alarm indications, including a buzzer and a user-programmable digital voice circuit for identification of the area in which a flood occurs. The receiving unit includes a superheterodyne receiver or a super-regenerative receiver and detector, a tone decoder to prevent false alarms, a battery charger, a solenoid valve for shutting off the flow of water in the event to a leak detected by the transmitting unit, and a freeze-guard circuit using a peltier device to keep the solenoid valve within a temperature range allowing valve operation during freezing weather conditions.
