On Tuesday, December 5,2016 special agent Jill Snyder, the head of San Francisco's office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said a refrigerator was a potential source of the fire in Oakland, California that killed 36 people.
Most people, if they are away from home, have this mind boggling thought in the back of their minds; did I turn off that appliance?, or is my property safe with my appliances left turned on?. Knowing fully well, that if an appliance gets overheated and unattended for a long time or if the electronics starts to burn or pop, that situation becomes a major problem. No one can determine when an electronic component will burst into flames on a circuit board or when a transformer will start melting away and start a fire. I have experienced that problem and read about many horrific experiences people have had over the years.
​
These were the situations and tragedies that led me to start SAD-SOS Technologies. This tri-functional technology is built-into the appliance and is able to monitor the unit while in operation, generates an alarm when it detects smoldering and small traces of smoke within or around the appliance, then shuts it off to prevent a fire.

I was motivated to conduct research work on electrical fires, explore new technologies and seek how we could redesign appliances with more built-in safety features. My research and studies of the problems has led to the invention of the SAD-SOS technology, "Smoke Detection Alarm & Shut-Off System a novelty technology for all kinds of electrical appliances, (prototype completed and patents pending). This technology can be refined, scaled and installed in all electrical equipment and appliances.

Household APPLIANCES incorporating SADSOS Technology
SAD-SOS Technology is a built-in, tri-functional fire prevention technological solution for electrical appliances. The functionality will alert, shut down and diagnose the electrical appliance and equipment upon detecting smoke or smoldering within, or close proximity to the said appliance. This technology was developed at the Appliance Built-In Safety Engineering Lab,
​
SAD-SOS Technologies, Appliance Built-In Safety Feature, "SAD-SOS" is a technological solution and improvement that undoubtedly add and enhance safety features in electrical appliances and many other electrical and electronic products. Though we will not eliminate electrical fires, this is certainly a bold step towards that goal. The SAD-SOS Technology, will substantially reduce fires that are caused by home and commercial electrical appliances and other equipment, where this novelty and technology can be scaled, conditioned and applied successfully.
It is reported that only about 10 to 20 per cent of faulty electrical products are traced during a recall, which means there are a lot of potential fire risk out there in our homes and businesses.
To detect fires in the homes, it is also recommended that smoke alarms should be tested weekly, and to prevent a fire from spreading the closing of all internal doors before going to bed is one suggestion . This can contain a fire in one room for up to 30 minutes but has also the potential to trap the occupant.
These measures are not ideal and the better deal is to have the safety features built into these appliances that will sound an alarm and shut them off whenever there is the first sign of a fire, or smoke been detected. This is what the SAD-SOS, Appliance Built-In Safety Features prototype and invention try to address in a complete way.
The new inventions and developments are being promoted as a necessary feature to appliance manufactures and the manufacturers of electrical equipment.

World Patent Marketing Press Release
Miami, FL (PRWEB) June 28, 2016
World Patent Marketing, a vertically integrated manufacturer and engineer of patented products, announces Appliance Built-In Safety Features, a safety technological invention created to prevent electrical problems that cause fires and other related accidents.
"The Global Household Cooking & Appliance Manufacturing industry is worth $202 billion,"says Scott Cooper, CEO and Creative Director of World Patent Marketing. "Over the 10 years to 2021, industry valued added (IVA), which measures the industry's contribution to the economy, is expected to grow an average 4.9% annually."
“Many fires at home begin with electrical appliances sparking or overheating,” says Jerry Shapiro, Director of Manufacturing and World Patent Marketing Inventions. “This safety invention called Appliance Built-In Safety Features will solve that problem.”
Appliance Built-In Safety Features is a safety invention designed to detect and prevent accidents caused by faulty or overheating electrical appliances. Made with durable and efficient materials, this invention comprises of a smoke detector and a shut-off function. The smoke detector is mounted on or within the electrical appliance which will enable to immediately sense smoke in case it overheats. When it detects a problem, this invention will automatically shut off the said appliance attached to it. By doing so, the Built-In Safety Features will effectively prevent any fires and other forms of electrical damages from occurring.
“Safety is one of the foremost thought that goes through our minds in whatever we do,” says Inventor Percival Peck. “Over the years, I have seen first hand, and we have all heard and read about so many horrific and tragic events which were caused by or from something going wrong that involves an household or commercial appliance. In most and if not all these cases, the absence of someone to disable the appliance, or the absence of adequate built in safety features into the appliance, has been a shortcoming and a void in the designing of most appliances. If we had these built in safety features, that senses dangers, alert persons of these dangers, and shutting down the unit, we could have saved the day for so many from catastrophes, sufferings, hurting and billions in financial losses says the Inventor. This is what the model "Appliance Built in Safety Features" sets out to address and accomplish.”
John Brentwood, a mechanic from Arizona, has this to say about the Appliance Built-In Safety Features: “Being a mechanic requires me to be around electrical appliances every single day. The Appliance Built-In Safety Features is something that will give my place of work some much needed safety.”
The Appliance Built-In Safety Features is a safety invention which will be ideal for any home or commercial establishment.

Consumer Product Safety Concerns
​
Fires have been a major concern for Consumer Protection groups and there is always a push by these groups to get appliance manufacturers to engineer and build safer electrical appliances. The Consumer Product Safety Commission, using estimates for a two year period, inform us that major appliances caused more than 150,000 residential fires each year, resulting in 3,670 injuries, 150 deaths, and $547 million dollars in property damage. The information on commercial fires are in the billions, namely because of the assets involved and not so much the cost of replacing the buildings.

Could your refrigerator or any other appliance or electrical equipment burn your house down? , yes they can. Fridges are packed with inflammable insulation that can give off toxic gas, and here's why they are the most dangerous appliance of all... In December 5,2016, special agent Jill Snyder, the head of San Francisco's office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said a refrigerator was a potential source of the fire in Oakland, California that killed 36 people. When fire ripped through Noel Davies’s home in August 2015, leaving him with nothing but the clothes he was wearing, there was one small crumb of comfort: neither he nor his two children were inside at the time......Read more about Noel's experience.
