A very useful idiom in Pd is what I'd call an "activity monitor". This is
something which will report whenever an activity stops to happen for a certain
time.

The attached patch has such a monitor. The basic idea is very simple: Just
exploit the fact, that a [delay] object will reset itself whenever it receives
a new bang-message, which means, that it will not produce a bang, until banging
stops for as long as the delay period is.

With some [change] logic you can turn that into a 0/1 activity monitor.
