How to Tell if Your Parents Are Abusive
Four Parts:Recognizing Physical Abuse and NeglectIdentifying Sexual AbuseUnderstanding Emotional AbuseGetting Help When You Need ItCommunity Q&A
Abuse can take many forms. Spanking a child is generally legal, but every state in the United States has a different standard on whether or not spanking has crossed the line into abuse.[1] Other types of abuse, such as sexual abuse, are never permitted in any way, shape, or form. If you believe your parents are abusing you and causing you serious physical or emotional harm, they may be abusing you. Always talk to a trusted adult, like a teacher or a close family member, if you believe your parents may be abusing you.
Part 1
Recognizing Physical Abuse and Neglect
1Think about what happened. There are several things to consider when you're trying to figure out if your parents are abusive. The biggest factors are generally why your parent struck you and how much force she used. Was your parent trying to teach you not to do something dangerous, like running into the street without looking? This type of punishment is sometimes acceptable, as long as it does not get extreme or excessive. Hitting you to take out frustrations is considered abuse, and so is hitting you too hard and with great force.[2]
- Were you hit because your parents thought this would stop a behavior they don't like?
- Do your parents ever hit you after they've been drinking alcohol or after hearing bad news?
- Have your parents ever used an object to hit you, like a belt, tree branch, electrical cord, or anything other than an open-palmed hand on your behind?[3]
- Do your parents ever lose control while they hit you? For example, does a simple spanking turn into slapping you in the face or punching you?
2Look for signs of physical injury. The laws on child abuse are very different, depending on where you live. In general, though, one of the biggest factors is often whether or not your parents' acts of violence caused any lasting physical damage to your body.[4] Your parents may be abusing you if you have any of the following after your parents "discipline" you:
- Cuts or scratches
- Bruises
- Bite marks
- Burns
- Welts (swollen lumps and bumps on your body)
- Muscle sprains
- Broken/fractured bones
3Think about whether your parents take care of you. Neglect is a form of child abuse. It can be very hard to tell whether your parents are neglecting you, especially if you've never lived with any other parents or caretakers. There is also the question of how much money your family has — your parents may be struggling to keep you clothed and fed, not because they are neglecting you, but because they have economic challenges. Ask yourself the following questions to start to figure out if your parents are neglecting you and your siblings: [5]
- Are your parents always well-dressed and well-fed, but unwilling to get you clothes that fit properly or make sure you have food?
- Do your clothes and shoes fit you okay? Are they clean and warm or cool enough for the weather?
- Do your parents keep you clean by having you take regular baths/showers? Do they make sure you brush your teeth and comb your hair?
- Do your parents keep you and your siblings fed? Or do you often go without eating enough food?
- When you get sick, do your parents take you to a doctor and give you medicine?
- If your parents leave the house, do they have someone older come and watch you? Or are you left alone and allowed to play in unsafe places/situations?
Part 2
Identifying Sexual Abuse
1Identify inappropriate behavior from your parents. Any type of sexual contact between an adult and a minor is considered abuse. An adult might make threats or use his or her position of power (as someone most people normally trust, like a coach or teacher) to bully or frighten a younger person into having sex or other sexual activity.[6] If your parents watch you undress (without helping you get dressed), take pictures of you without any clothes on, touch the areas of your body that are private in a way that makes you scared or uncomfortable, or force you to look at or touch their private parts, that is sexual abuse.
- Sometimes being touched sexually can feel good, which can be confusing. The person doesn't have to be hurting you for it to be sexual abuse.[7]
2Recognize physical injuries from sexual abuse. Not all sexual abuse leaves a physical injury, but many acts of sexual abuse do leave bruising, bleeding, and other injuries. Sexual abuse can also cause sexually transmitted infections and even pregnancy in some cases.[8][9] Common symptoms of sexual abuse include, but are not limited to:
3Understand child-on-child sexual abuse. Sometimes a child is sexually abused by another child. When this happens, it is usually because the first child is reenacting abuse that was forced on him. Most children do not have an understanding of sex, so generally if another child forces you or a sibling to engage in some type of sexual behavior, it's usually a sign that he was abused by someone.[13]
- Talk to a trusted adult if you think someone you know is a victim of sexual abuse, just as you would talk to a trusted adult about your own parents abusing you.
Part 3
Understanding Emotional Abuse
1Know when you're being verbally abused. Your parent might yell at you to stop you from doing something dangerous or bad, but this one-time incident doesn't necessarily mean you are being verbally abused. But if you experience repeated name-calling, shaming, or threats, then this is considered verbal abuse or verbal assault.[14]
- Your parents yelling at you or scolding you does not count as verbal assault. That type of discipline is usually appropriate and has a purpose, as long as it doesn't get out of hand.
- If your parents are constantly screaming or saying mean things to you, even when you haven't done anything wrong, they are emotionally abusing you.[15]
- If your parents talk down to you, shame you, or make fun of you on a regular basis, they are emotionally abusing you.
- Any verbal threats made towards you, your siblings, or other family members are also acts of abuse.
2Recognize when your parents ignore or isolate you. Ignoring or isolating a child is just as bad as threatening the child. If a parent gives you the silent treatment, tries to make you feel bad, or tries to cut you off from having other people in your life (like friends, uncles, aunts, and grandparents), this can also be emotional abuse.[16]
- If your parent refuses to look at you, refuses to acknowledge you as her child, or refuses to call you by your real name, that is emotional abuse.
- If your parents refuse to touch you, deny your physical/emotional needs, or say mean things to make you feel bad, they are abusing you.
- If your parent tells you that you aren't welcome in the family ("I wish you had never been born,") this is abuse.[17]
3Identify terrorizing behavior. Being terrorized by your parents means feeling threatened or unsafe. Parents terrorize children to make their kids feel fearful. An example of terrorizing might include your parents putting you, your siblings, your pet, or your favorite toy in a dangerous situation as "punishment" for something you've done.[18]
Part 4
Getting Help When You Need It
1Talk to a trusted adult. The first step to reporting abuse of any kind is to talk to an adult you can trust. That adult can listen to you and help you figure out whether your parents are abusing you. Talk to a trusted family member (like an aunt, uncle, or grandparent), a close friend of the family, a teacher or counselor at school, or a trustworthy neighbor.
- Tell the adult exactly what happened, and explain any circumstances surrounding the incident. Did anything lead up to it?
- The adult you talk to should be able to figure out whether your parents are abusing you.
- If the adult thinks that your parents are abusing you, she should then contact the police. If the adult tells you it's abuse but doesn't call the authorities, you should do so yourself.
- A school counselor should know who to contact and how to make sure you are safe. She may also have training to help you begin coping with the abuse.
2Call for help. If you know that your parents have abused you or are continuing to abuse you, you'll need to contact the police or other authority so that you can be taken to a safer place. You can call the police if you need help right away, or call a help hotline to report ongoing cases of abuse. [19]
- Call the 911 if you think your parent is about to hurt you. Your parent might show signs that you know mean he is going to attack you — maybe it happens when he has been drinking, and you can smell the alcohol, and he is starting to yell at you. Whatever the signs may be, if you think you are about to be hurt, call 911. The police will be able to come to your home and stop your parent from hurting you right then and there.
- Look up the phone number for your local Child Protective Services office. You can find this number in the phone book or by searching online — but make sure your parents don't know that you're looking up this number.
- Call a crisis hotline. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline is operated 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 1-800-4ACHILD (1-800-422-4453).
Community Q&A
I bleed and have bruises from my father hitting me. He says that is 'discipline,' not abuse. Is that actually abuse?wikiHow ContributorThat absolutely sounds like physical abuse. You should contact the authorities immediately.
My parents hit me day and night until I bleed or am badly bruised. What do I do?wikiHow ContributorContact the authorities immediately. You can call the police or contact Child Protective Services to intervene.
I am victim of abuse. I am from India. What can I do?wikiHow ContributorUnfortunately, there do not appear to be any child abuse laws in India that protect you from parental abuse. However, there are organizations that can help you escape from unsafe living situations and find a safer home. Try contacting Childline India by email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by phone at 022-2495 2610, 2495 2611, 2482 1098/ 2490 1098/ 2491 1098.
Every grade less than a B I get spanked with a ladle. I have depression and I can't tell my parents because they think I'm dramatic. My grades have gotten worse and I get spanked over things like not taking notes in class. Is this abuse? What do I do if it is?wikiHow ContributorYour parents may think that spanking you is helpful "discipline," but it sounds like physical abuse and neglect/emotional abuse. Talk to a trusted adult about your situation and consider notifying the authorities.
Is it bad to be scared of telling an adult that my parents abuse me?wikiHow ContributorIt's very understandable that you might be afraid. However, if your parents are abusing you, they aren't likely to stop unless someone steps in and stops them. Talk to a trusted adult or call the police/Child Protective Services to make sure your parents don't hurt you anymore.
Is being called a "goth loser" by my parents a type of abusive?wikiHow ContributorThis type of dialogue sounds like emotional abuse. Talk to a trusted adult, like a teacher or school counselor, to determine whether this type of behavior is in fact emotional abuse and to learn what you can do about it.
Why is psycological abuse not taken seriously?wikiHow ContributorSome people do not take emotional/psychological abuse seriously because it does not produce the same immediate physical effects as acts of violence or sexual abuse. However, it is a very serious matter. If you or someone you know is being emotionally/psychologically abused, talk to a trusted adult about what you can do to stop this type of abuse.
- If your parents are abusing you in any way, remember that this is not your fault. You did not do anything wrong.
- Tell an adult you trust about what is going on, and find someone who believes you and will help.
- If the situation escalates, or if you are in immediate danger, call the police. If you do not feel safe calling yourself, you can ask a friend to call for you.
- Stand up to them. They think they can hit you because they think you're weak. Don't let them think that.
- However, sometimes standing up to them may enrage them, and they'll become violent. Be careful.
- Report all abuse as soon as possible. Most cases of abuse do not stop unless the police get involved.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/889,426, filed May 28, 1992, abandoned, which is a continuation in part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/628,623, filed Dec. 19, 1990, abandoned.
This invention includes a method and apparatus for finding a missing remote control unit, especially a unit which controls a television (TV) set or video-cassette recorder (VCR).
It is known to use remote control units to control the operations of electronic appliances such as TV sets and VCRs. Such remote control units are typically wireless, and operate by generating electromagnetic or acoustic waves which are detected by a receiver located inside the appliance. Remote control units are usually designed to be hand-held, and therefore are relatively small. Because of their small size, these units are easily lost or misplaced. A remote control unit for a TV set is often lost in the cushions of a sofa, or under the sheets or blankets of a bed. The unit can also be inadvertently carried away from the site of the TV set.
The problem of locating a missing remote control unit for a television receiver was recognized in U.S. Pat. No. 4,386,371. The solution proposed in the latter patent is to connect the remote control unit to the TV set by a wire. While this approach does solve the problem of locating the remote control unit, it is inconvenient to maintain a wire connection between the remote control unit and the TV set.
It has been known to locate a missing object by using a radio signal to activate an alarm device placed on the object. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,101,873 shows a device for locating missing articles, such as eyeglasses or purses. A small transmitter is worn by the user, and a small receiver is attached to the object to be located. The receiver is connected to actuate an alarm. When the transmitter is activated, its signal is detected by the receiver, and the alarm is sounded, giving the user an indication of the location of the object.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,476,469 shows a hand-held device which houses a transmitter, and which causes a receiver, placed on the object to be located, to sound an alarm.
Other patents which describe systems for sounding an alarm to locate missing articles include U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,507,653, 4,598,272, and 4,591,835. All of the above-cited patents are hereby incorporated by reference into this disclosure.
The most pertinent item of the prior art is Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-314994. The latter reference shows a remote control device which receives a signal sent by a transmitter located in the housing of an appliance. Upon detection of the signal, the remote control device sounds an audible alarm.
Although the problem of locating missing articles has been addressed in the prior art, practical problems remain. For example, prolonged operation of the receiver in the remote control unit drains the battery relatively quickly. To assure reliable operation, one must have confidence that the battery powering the receiver will continue to work for a long time. Otherwise, when the remote control device is lost, there will be no easy way of finding it. Also, the remote control devices of the prior art give no indication of how close the user is; merely sounding an alarm may not be enough to tell the user the location of the missing unit. The present invention addresses this and other problems, by providing a convenient and economical improvement over the devices of the prior art.
The present invention is used with a television set or other appliance which is operated by a wireless remote control unit. A transmitter is mounted on the TV set, preferably inside the cabinet which houses the set. A switch is also mounted on the cabinet, and is connected to operate the transmitter. A receiver, capable of detecting a signal from the transmitter, is built into the remote control unit. The receiver is also connected to an alarm device, such as a buzzer, a lamp, or both. When the switch on the TV set is actuated, the transmitter emits a signal. If the remote control unit is within range, the receiver will detect the signal and activate the alarm.
The transmitter is preferably controlled by a timer which causes the signal to be emitted only during a predetermined period of time. Also, the transmitter can be connected to an indicator lamp, or equivalent device, for showing the user that the transmitter is currently emitting a signal. Thus, if the remote control unit is not located, the user will know whether the failure to hear or see an alarm is due to the lack of a signal from the transmitter, or whether it is due to some other cause. Also, the receiver can be equipped with a circuit which senses when the battery current falls below a predetermined level, and which activates the alarm to notify the user of this condition.
In another embodiment, the receiver includes a circuit which switches the battery power to the receiver on and off repeatedly, so that the receiver operates for only a small fraction of the time. This circuit therefore substantially increases the effective life of the battery.
In another embodiment, the receiver includes means for varying the loudness of the alarm signal in response to the strength of the signal received from the transmitter. For example, the loudness of the alarm signal can be varied according to the automatic gain control voltage which appears at the receiver. Thus, the loudness of the alarm gives an indication of the distance of the remote control unit from the appliance.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for locating a missing remote control unit for an appliance.
It is another object to provide an apparatus for locating a remote control unit for an appliance, wherein the apparatus is built into the same cabinet which houses the appliance.
It is another object to provide an apparatus as described above, wherein an alarm device is built into the remote control unit.
It is another object to provide an apparatus for locating a missing remote control unit for a TV set, wherein the apparatus itself is not likely to become lost.
It is another object to provide an apparatus for locating a missing remote control unit, wherein the apparatus provides an indication of when a signal is being transmitted to a receiver in the remote control unit.
It is another object to prolong the effective life of the battery which powers the circuitry of a remote control of the type described above.
It is another object to provide an apparatus as described above, wherein the loudness of an alarm signal varies with the strength of a signal received from the transmitter.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art, from a reading of the following brief description of the drawings, the detailed description of the invention, and the appended claims.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a television set which is equipped with a transmitter, according to the present invention, and a separate remote control unit which includes an alarm activated by a signal from the transmitter.
FIG. 2 is a diagram, similar to FIG. 1, but showing the transmitter unit separate from the television set, and mounted thereto.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the major components of the "transmitting end" of the apparatus, i.e. those components located in or near the television set.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the major components of the "receiving end" of the apparatus, i.e. those components located on or inside the remote control unit.
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the embodiment wherein there are several appliances and several remote control units, each appliance and remote control unit pair being tuned to a different frequency.
FIG. 6 is a schematic and block diagram showing alternative circuitry for the receiver, the figure showing a means for conserving battery power and for varying the loudness of an alarm signal in response to changes in a received signal from the transmitter.
The present invention is used to locate a missing remote control unit for an appliance, especially a television (TV) set or a video-cassette recorder. The invention is not limited to use with these appliances, however. In this specification, whenever the terms "TV" or "television" are used, it is understood that other appliances could be substituted.
FIG. 1 shows the basic arrangement of one embodiment of the present invention. A television (TV) set 1 is assumed to contain all the necessary circuitry for interacting with remote control unit 3. For purposes of clarity of illustration, the television set and remote control unit are not drawn to the same scale in FIG. 1. The particular circuitry of the TV set and the remote control unit are entirely conventional, and do not form a part of the present invention. The TV set is housed within cabinet 5. Mounted within the cabinet is a transmitter, the outer panel of which is indicated by reference numeral 7. The transmitter is controlled by switch 9, which can be a pushbutton switch, or any other kind of switch. The panel may also include lamp 11 which is activated by the transmitter, as will be described below.
Remote control unit 3 includes a receiver (not shown in FIG. 1), the receiver being mounted within the housing of remote control unit 3. The receiver is capable of detecting a signal emitted by the transmitter. The receiver is connected to an audible alarm which is sounded through speaker 17. Alternatively, or in addition to the audible alarm, the receiver may be connected to a lamp (not shown in FIG. 1), for providing a visual indication of the detection of a signal from the transmitter.
The circuits for the transmitter and receiver are entirely conventional. The circuits shown in the above-cited patents, or other circuits, could be used. The invention should not be deemed limited to any particular circuit design.
The transmitter is preferably connected to the same power source which powers the circuits of the TV set. The receiver obtains its power from the same source that powers the remote control unit, i.e. a battery or equivalent. The receiver is tuned to detect a signal having the frequency of the transmitter.
FIG. 2 is a diagram, similar to FIG. 1, of another embodiment of the invention, wherein the transmitter and switch are contained within a separate unit. In FIG. 2, transmitter unit 23 rests on TV set 21 (or is mechanically affixed thereto). The transmitter unit includes switch 25 and lamp 27. Remote control unit 30 is similar to unit 3 of FIG. 1, except that it has a lamp 32. This lamp could also have been provided in FIG. 1. The lamp could also have been omitted in FIG. 2.
The arrangement of FIG. 2 makes it possible to adapt existing appliances for use with the present invention. Because the transmitter, timer, and lamp are all located within the same housing, this housing can be conveniently affixed to the cabinet of an existing TV set, or can be simply laid on top of the cabinet. The transmitter can be connected to the TV power supply, or it can include its own power supply, and can be separately plugged into a standard wall outlet. Similarly, a small receiver and alarm can be attached to the existing remote control unit. Of course, in all cases, the frequencies of the transmitter and receiver must be matched.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the major components of the transmitter portion of the apparatus of the present invention. FIG. 3 applies to the transmitter of either FIG. 1 or FIG. 2. Power supply 51 powers the TV circuits 53, in a conventional manner. Transmitter 55 is coupled to the same power supply 51, through actuator 57. The actuator can be a relay which is controlled manually, by switch 59, or electrically, by timer 61. In either case, the actuator connects the power supply to the transmitter, so that the transmitter emits a signal. The output of the transmitter is connected to a suitable antenna 63. The transmitter may also be connected to lamp 65. Lamp 65 is illuminated only when the transmitter is emitting a signal. Lamp 65 is thus the same component which is symbolically represented by reference numerals 11 and 27 in FIGS. 1 and 2.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the major components of the remote control portion of the apparatus. Remote control circuits 83 are conventional, and are powered by battery 81. Receiver 85 is connected to the same power supply, and is capable of receiving the signal emitted by the transmitter. The receiver has an antenna, as shown in FIG. 4. The output of the receiver is connected to an alarm device 87. The alarm device can be a buzzer or other audible alarm, a light, or a combination of both.
Battery status indicator 89 is a circuit which is powered by battery 81, and which generates a signal when the battery current falls below a predetermined threshold. Such circuitry is conventional, and commercially available; the details of the circuitry are not part of the present invention. Battery status indicator 89 is connected to alarm device 87. Thus, the same alarm is activated by both the receiver 85 and the indicator 89, and it is not necessary to provide separate alarm devices.
The operation of the invention can now be described. Suppose first that the timer is not present, and that the transmitter is operated directly by the switch. When the user desires to locate the remote control unit, the user presses the switch 9 on the TV set (or other appliance), or switch 25 on the separate transmitter unit of FIG. 2. The transmitter emits a signal immediately after the switch is actuated, but only while the switch is depressed. While the signal is being emitted, lamp 11 (or 27), if present, is illuminated to inform the user that the transmitter is operating. If the remote control unit is within range (and if its battery is operating), the receiver in the unit will detect the signal from the transmitter, and will activate the alarm. The user will hear the audible alarm and/or see the visible alarm, and can easily retrieve the remote control unit.
Now suppose that the timer is present. In this embodiment, depressing the switch causes the timer to operate the transmitter for a predetermined interval of time. Again, the transmitter begins to transmit its signal immediately after the switch is actuated by the user. But in this case, the user need not hold the switch in the depressed position; instead, the transmitter will automatically emit a signal, for a predetermined time interval, as controlled by the timer and actuator. As before, lamp 11 (or 27) signals that the transmitter is emitting a signal. Lamp 11 (or 27) is especially useful in the embodiment which includes the timer, because the lamp serves, in part, as a monitor of the setting of the timer. If no alarm from the remote control unit is heard, but the lamp is lit, the user will know that the remote control unit is probably either out of range or not working. In this case, when the lamp goes "off", the user may want to activate the transmitter again. If the alarm is heard and/or seen, the remote control unit can be retrieved, as before.
The lamp can be connected to the transmitter in different ways. For example, the lamp can be connected to indicate when power has been applied to the transmitter. Alternatively, the lamp can be actuated by the presence of an actual electromagnetic signal coming from the transmitter, without a direct connection to the transmitter. Indeed, the lamp can itself be located on a separate receiver, housed within the TV set, having no direct connection to the transmitter. The latter alternative provides the most objective indication of whether the transmitter is working.
The lamp can provide a continuous signal, or it can be activated by a flashing device (not shown). Also, other types of alarms can be used. For example, the alarm could comprise a recorded or synthesized voice, giving a message which assists the user in locating the remote control unit.
Although the transmitting portion of the apparatus of the present invention can either be built into the appliance (as shown in FIG. 1) or can be housed in a separate box (as shown in FIG. 2), the arrangement of FIG. 1 is preferred. It is also preferred to place the receiver inside the housing of the remote control unit. It is also desirable to place the alarm (if it is audible) inside the remote control unit, so as not to increase the size of the unit unduly. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a grille or baffle can be included to allow the sound from the alarm to penetrate the unit housing. If a visible alarm is used, such as a lamp, it is necessary to mount such alarm so that it will be seen from the outside. The alarm could therefore be mounted on the outside of the housing. It is also possible to make one or more of the buttons on the remote control unit from a transparent or translucent material, and to provide an alarm lamp within such button.
In the preferred embodiment, the transmitter should operate regardless of whether the TV is "on" or "off". A remote control unit can be lost even when the TV set is not being used. Thus, the power to the transmitter (and the timer and lamp, if present) should not be deactivated simply because the main power switch of the TV set is turned "off". Instead, the transmitter should be connected to the TV power supply in such a manner that the transmitter receives power whenever the TV set is plugged into the wall outlet. Of course, the same can be accomplished in the embodiment of FIG. 2. In the latter case, the transmitter can be connected to a source of power on the TV chassis, or it can be separately plugged into a wall outlet. The receiver, being powered by a battery, will always operate, provided that the battery is working.
The transmitter should generate a signal having a range which preferably includes all points within an average house. The signal from the transmitter should be able to penetrate partition walls and ceilings, so that the remote control unit can be detected if it has been carried into another room or to another level of a house. However, the range should ordinarily not be too great, to avoid interference with similar transmitter/receiver pairs used by neighbors. The range of the transmitter can be determined by its power level and the configuration of its antenna, as is well known in the art. The effective range of the signal emitted by the transmitter is also determined, in part, by the sensitivity and antenna configuration of the receiver.
In congested urban areas, it is likely that a transmitter in one home may be physically close to a remote control unit in a neighboring home. Thus, even if the transmitter has a short range, activation of the transmitter in one home may cause activation of an alarm in the neighboring home. This problem can be reduced or eliminated by designing transmitter and receiver pairs to operate at varying frequencies, so that a given pair is not, in general, using the same frequency as the pair of units in the neighboring home. Moreover, if the frequencies of the transmitters in adjacent houses are different, then it is possible to design the transmitters to have greater ranges. An increased range is useful when a remote control unit is inadvertently carried to a neighbor's house, or when the unit is otherwise carried outside.
FIG. 5 symbolically illustrates the latter embodiment, wherein there are multiple transmitter and appliance pairs within a small area. In FIG. 5, appliances 70, 72, and 74 (shown symbolically as television sets, although other appliances could be substituted) are paired with remote control units 76, 78, and 80, respectively. The receivers in units 76, 78, and 80 operate at frequencies F1, F2, and F3 respectively, and the associated appliances have transmitters operating at the same respective frequencies. Thus, the transmitter in a given appliance will activate only one of the remote control devices. The remote control units and appliances shown in FIG. 5 are assumed to be spread over a relatively small area. By "small" it is meant that all of the receivers in the remote control units are within the range of the transmitters in the appliances. Thus, the size of the area depends on the power of the transmitters, and on the efficiency of the antennas. For low-powered transmitters, it is expected that the area of concern will be the area within a radius of a few hundred feet or less from each transmitter.
FIG. 6 illustrates two further embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 6 provides a block and schematic diagram of the receiver and alarm circuitry, located in the remote control unit, as discussed above. Receiver 100 is connected to antenna 102, and provides an output signal which is rectified by diode 104. It is assumed that the receiver contains the necessary circuitry to convert an incoming rf signal to an audio-frequency signal; such circuitry is commercially available, and does not form part of the present invention. The output of diode 104 is then connected to one of the inputs of OR gate 106. An R-C circuit, formed by capacitor 108 and resistor 110 serves as a peak detection circuit. By an appropriate choice of the time constant of the R-C circuit, one insures that the peak level of the rectified output of the receiver will appear at one of the inputs of OR gate 106 for a predetermined interval of time.
The other input to OR gate 106 comes from pulse generator 112. The pulse generator, also a commercially available unit, produces a train of pulses. Preferably the pulses have narrow widths, in the sense that within each period of about 3-4 seconds, the pulse is "high" for only about 50 msec. The latter figure is only an example; many other pulse profiles will yield acceptable results.
The output of OR gate 106 will thus be "high" either if a signal is detected by the receiver or a pulse is received from the pulse generator. Moreover, if a signal is detected by the receiver, the R-C circuit will hold the output of OR gate 106 high for a period of time. The output of the OR gate is applied to the base of transistor 114 through resistor 120. When the output of the OR gate is "high", the transistor conducts,1and thus connects battery 116 through resistor 122 to the receiver (and to all other parts of the system except the pulse generator). When the output of the OR gate is low, the transistor does not conduct, and the battery is effectively disconnected from the circuit.
The pulse generator itself is preferably made of CMOS circuitry, which requires very little current. The battery 124 which powers the pulse generator produces only a few microamperes of current, and will last for a long time. Because the main power supply (battery 116) is disconnected for most of the operating cycle, the effective life of battery 116 is substantially increased. For example, if the receiver is switched off for all but 50 msec of every interval of 4 seconds, the effective battery life is increased by 4/0.050 or 80 times. Thus, battery 116, which produces a relatively high current, operates for only a fraction of an operating cycle, while battery 124 powers the pulse generator, and produces a very small current, and operates continuously.
Note that it may be necessary to invert the output of the OR gate to obtain the necessary signal polarity to control the transistor. Such modification can be made as necessary, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
FIG. 6 also illustrates still another modification of the circuitry of the remote control device. In this modification, the loudness (or other parameter) of the alarm is made to vary according to the strength of the signal from the transmitter. This means that the loudness of the alarm gives an indication of how far the remote control device is from the transmitter. This feature can be implemented in different ways. The preferred method is to use the automatic gain control (AGC) circuitry which generally forms part of most receiver circuits. In FIG. 6, receiver 100 contains a schematic indication of an AGC terminal. The latter terminal is connected to alarm device 118, which is also connected to the rectified output of the receiver. The AGC signal varies according to the strength of the signal detected by the receiver. The AGC signal thus can be used to control the loudness (or some other characteristic) of the alarm signal. Other means of detecting the strength of the transmitter signal can also be used.
Note also that the two additional features illustrated in FIG. 6, namely the intermittent switching of the power supply and the variation in loudness of the alarm, need not both be present. One or the other or both of the latter features can be used, and the invention includes all such cases.
Many remote control devices available commercially have been designed to control both a TV set and a VCR. To maximize the benefit of the invention, it is preferred that both the TV set and VCR have a transmitter, and associated components, as described above. Both transmitters should be tuned to the frequency of the receiver in the remote control unit. Activation of either transmitter will cause activation of the alarm in the remote control unit. Thus, if the TV set and VCR are separated (for example, if the VCR is to be connected to a different TV set), it is still possible to use the transmitter in either appliance to locate the remote control unit.
According to the present invention, the transmitter is permanently located on or inside the TV set or other appliance. Thus, the transmitter itself is not likely to become lost. The user always knows to locate the missing remote control unit by depressing a switch on the TV set.
Although the invention has been described with respect to specific embodiments, it is understood that many variations are possible. For example, instead of using a timer to control the transmitter, it is possible to use a timer to control the receiver. In this case, the transmitter emits a short signal, of predetermined duration, and the receiver emits an alarm for a predetermined interval, as controlled by its timer.
The particular circuits used for the transmitter and receiver can be varied considerably. Certain features described above, such as the timer, and the lamp which indicates that the transmitter is operating, can be omitted. These components can be built into the TV set or housed separately. The lamps 11 or 27 could alternatively be combined with switches 9 or 25; that is, the lamp could be positioned to illuminate the button when the transmitter is operating. These and other similar modifications are intended to be included within the spirit and scope of the following claims.

The ability of barnacles to form clusters on ship hulls and rocks has long been a puzzle to marine experts.
Now a group led by scientists from Newcastle University say they are close to finding a way of "fooling" the creatures into settling elsewhere.
The Anglo-Japanese team have identified a chemical signal used by barnacle larvae when they cluster together.
The discovery could suggest new, environmentally sensitive ways of protecting surfaces from the unwanted growth of barnacles.
Colonising habitats
Professor Anthony Clare, of Newcastle University's School of Marine Science and Technology, said: "We have determined the nature of a chemical signal that allows barnacles to recognise their own kind when they settle.
"As adults, barnacles stick firmly to rocks, ships and other submerged objects in the sea. As planktonic larvae, barnacles disperse widely to colonise new habitats and surfaces.
"Having identified the type of protein involved, the team now hope to determine how the signal is recognised."

Earlier, Nikon Rumors had reported that the D5000 would be a lot like their mid-level D90—with a 12.3-megapixel sensor, Live View and video recording—but with no built-in autofocus motor or top-level LCD like the current D60. What'd you get instead is a new kind of flash and tilt-y swivel display like you see on some super zoom cameras. If this this thing is cheap and small enough, what do you need a super-zoom camera for? And if HD video recording is now in the lowest level DSLR, it's only a matter of one generation of turnover before all DSLRs shoot HD video.

I had been skeptical about disgruntled filmgoer Sarah Deming's
lawsuit stating, among other things, that the film "Drive" might rouse
anti-Semitic violence. I didn't think it was likely to incite
violence of any kind. Until I saw this story about Tiger Woods fan Brandon Kelly, who assaulted his idol with a hot dog.

I retired out here in 2009 from wisconsin, we bought the property adjoining our and kept adding places now we have 4 so our retirement is going to wait for awhile. while living here we found out Custer was the place for us, its a beautiful town and close to everything.
Joleen Kohler purchased this studio in 2013
We bought this property because we loved the area so much.
We chose this property because it adjoined ours and we fixed it up and just kept adding homes and keeping the rates reasonable gives guests a chance to see what we have to offer.
This little getaway place was perfect for my husband, myself and son. The cabin/appartment had what we needed for a 5 night stay. The kitchen is well equipped for some cooking. The patio was perfect to eat out on!
It is located just out of Custer. It is within view of the highway, but quite quiet.
We enjoyed the Wind Cave, 1880strain, Crazy Horse and more.
I would recommend this lil getaway to anyone. The facility was clean! It was perfect for us!
This immaculately clean, new, efficient and roomy studio is stocked with everything needed, including extra spices and great cookware! The location is perfect for Mickelson Trail riders - right in the middle of the Black Hills for out-and-back riding in either direction. The deck is roomy and you can enjoy the sunshine and the daily visits from the deer who don't mind being up close and posing for photos! The location is on the edge of Custer--close to conveniences--but with the golf course across the street and the woods behind, it has a country feel. We would highly recommend this rental for couples or three people. Thank you George and Joleen!
Stayed for the weekend to ride motorcycles in the beautiful Black Hills. This was the perfect place to stay. Clean, cozy studio with everything we needed. Location is great, close to town and close to the beautiful parks. Wish we could've stayed longer but we will definitely be back. Thanks George and Joleen!
My husband and I just left a one week stay at George and Joleen's place in Custer, SD. It was such a wonderful place and they thought of everything you need. She even had shampoo and conditioner and a blowdryer. The kitchen had everything too, even coffee and coffee filters! There was a spice rack in the kitchen too, if you needed spices for cooking! Such a nice, comfortable place, and SOOOOO clean! The place was just done in 2013 and the knotty pine wood decor is adorable. The bathroom has a full size tub and shower, and it has a nice large vanity. We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you again George and Joleen! It was great meeting you!
We are so incredibly pleased with this cozy loft. Having a nice place to rest your head at night makes the vacation so much more enjoyable...This place did just that. It allowed for my usual morning routine of coffee and GMA, and also a quite, warm bed at night.
It's close to everything! We got around so easily! Even the local grocery to get carrots for the begging burros!!
I can't thank you enough for offering such a lovely place. We hope to be back!!
My son and I stayed at this studio while we explored Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Custer for 5 nights. The studio was well appointed, immaculate, and had lots of thoughtful extras. The studio is in a great location with easy access to stores and sites. It was such a pleasure to return to this studio in the evening after a full day of adventures. The owner, Joleen, was accessible and quick to respond to my questions. I highly recommend this studio.
Our place is located just outside the city limits, we are close to all attraction like Custer State park, Crazy Horse and Mt. Rushmore, Jewel Cave. It is a great location to able to spend your time in the Black Hills.

Geez, at least keep the spelling of "Lunerzons" consistent from panel to panel!
Why, WHY, of ALL THINGS did he have to be called "SPURT"?
Maybe the Luzerons are a different group, with no distinguishing traits except that they plan to rob interplaetary transports. (What exactly are interplaetary transports, anyway?) And, presumably, they salute by forming an L shape in front of their foreheads.
I must really be under-sexed: the porn references don't bother me half as much as the spelling errors! I mean, really: "PolOr regions"?
Well, I guess we know who's side of the war the woman with the green helmut is on. She has one of those limp penis/elephant truck doo-hickies on the front of it, like the space goblins.
Strangely, this was proofread by the same guy that proofreads the Jack Chick tracts…
@the Eric: His parents knew, his parents knew. So they named him Spurt.
Well… that's nice and ew. Times forty. Add an erect nose and you'll have some very upset Fox News anchors.
This is the stupidest thing I've seen in days. >__>
It should be illegal to make characters THAT stupid. 'Spurt'? SPURT? COME ON!!!! Wait, no, don't!
And BlackJack, I'm upset, that is simply the stupidest design of any alien helmet ever. It looks as if the helmets a limp martain man hunter boner. Oh God, that image….ew.
I just noticed there is an erect nose. It must be time for a party.
My recently deceased father's name was Spurt. Thanks a lot, you bastards!! BOOhoohoohoo…
No, just kidding. But maybe it's short for something. Spurtham, or Spurtwell. Spurtington.
Spurtington sounds like a cheap male hooker. God dammit, I'm going to give myself nightmares with that image….. 🙁
Spurtsman? Spurterton? Ok, screw it. Wait…I'm sorry, I keep making sex jokes. That was an accident that time.
