专利汇可以提供Smoke, gas, or rapid temperature increase detector utilizing a periodic electric field to create a self-sustained avalanche current专利检索，专利查询，专利分析的服务。并且A method and apparatus for detecting smoke, gaseous products of combustion such as CO, CO2, and a rapid temperature rise, the method including the steps of periodically forming, in a location exposed to the ambient atmosphere to bet tested, an electric field of sufficient intensity and of the proper configuration to produce a self-sustained Townsend avalanche, and comparing the resultant current flow with that produced in a similar such electric field created at the same time in an area shielded from the ambient atmosphere to be tested. When the current flow difference is of a sufficient magnitude due to the presence of smoke, gaseous products of combustion, or the occurrence of a sudden temperature rise, an alarm or fire control device is operated. In a second version, the current flow in an electric field formed earlier in time in the same location serves as the reference. The apparatus includes a pulsing circuit to periodically apply a high voltage to a pair of detector tubes having center electrodes, one tube being exposed to the ambient atmosphere, the other shielded. In the second version, a pulsing circuit periodically applies a voltage to a single detector tube and a holding and comparison circuit is provided to compare successive pairs of voltage pulses created by current flows caused by the periodic application of high voltages to the tube.，下面是Smoke, gas, or rapid temperature increase detector utilizing a periodic electric field to create a self-sustained avalanche current专利的具体信息内容。
