Job-Component Validation Using CMQ and O*NET: Assessing the Additivity Assumption

An alarm system includes apparatus to be placed in a room to transmit ultrasonic wave signals that rebound off the room's walls and contents, to, and receive the rebounding signals, and to phase balance the transmitted and received signals in order to detect a subsequently unbalance condition caused by a changed in the rebounding signals due to intrusion activity, which produces an electrical alarm signal. Other circuitry responds to reception of an alarm signal to produce an audible or visible alarm. The alarm signal is typically transmitted over electrical power lines.
