Smart fire detector separates smoke from fire

It may just be a testament to our cooking skills (or lack thereof), but we find that our smoke detector tends to start wailing pretty much every time we turn on the stove.
Fortunately, new technology may make that a thing of the past (the false alarms, not our cooking). Siemens has developed what it's billing as a smart fire detector, which comes equipped with two temperature sensors and two optical ones, connected by a neural net. The optical sensors can determine whether a room is filled with, say, black smoke indicative of a fire, rather than lighter smoke associated with our attempts at haute cuisine. The neural net analyzes the data from the four sensors to gauge the likelihood that the info adds up to a fire. The detector can also be programmed to respond differently in different rooms, ignoring, for example, a steam buildup if it's placed in a bathroom. We could really use one of these, though we've heard that our would-be dinner guests prefer the old-school kind, since it gives them an early warning when they should head the other way.
