Abstract
There is a continuous demand for fire detection systems that offer improved protection. Current detectors have short-comings that arise from the conflicting requirements for high sensitivity, so that no fire can pass undetected, and for the lowest possible incidence of false alarms. A householder who has to continually reset a fire detector, triggered by cooking smells for example, may quickly lose confidence in the device, become irritable and finally render it useless by removing the batteries.Keywords
