It is shown that such a smoke detector is able to operate reliably under low concentration of smoke and high relative humidity conditions.
These characteristics of smoke detector usage and acquisition should be considered in targeting future intervention strategies.
The results of these experiments show that the smoke detectors, especially the ionization detector, are sensitive to cooking fumes and nuisance alarms are easy to happen.
This paper introduces a novel new smoke detector characterized by its very small size and very high sensitivity.
It was determined that FDS can predict smoke detector activation when used in conjunction with smoke detector lag correlations that correct for the time delay associated with smoke having to penetrate the detector housing.
Alarm algorithms utilizing ionization detector smoke measurements proved to be more effective than measurements from photoelectric detectors.

The data showed that there was a large amount of variability in the measured smoke optical density values outside a detector at the time of alarm.
These plots facilitate the consideration of uncertainty in smoke detector response estimates by allowing a range of alarm thresholds to be determined.
The exclusive use of the time domain analysis in the design tuning to lower the probability of false alarms is caused by the output signal binary nature prevailing in the optical smoke detector designs.

In order to integrate these features reasonably and gain a low generalization error rate, we propose a support vector machine based smoke detector.
