Filed:

Jan 30, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/362674
Inventors:

David James Monk - Rexford NY, US
Michael Joseph O'Brien - Clifton Park NY, US
Andrew Michael Leach - Clifton Park NY, US
Juntao Wu - Niskayuna NY, US
Rui Chen - Clifton Park NY, US
Boon Kwee Lee - Clifton Park NY, US

Jeffery Glenn Van Keuren - Bradenton FL, US
International Classification:

G08B 21/00
US Classification:

340627
Abstract:

A method for detecting an aerosol plume includes emitting a light beam from a light source, the light beam having at least one light pulse, wherein the light pulse having a pulse width of between about 10 picoseconds (ps) and about 75 nanoseconds (ns), detecting backscattered light produced by the at least one light pulse interacting with particles in the aerosol plume, determining a presence of the aerosol plume based on the detected backscattered light, and outputting a signal indicating the presence of the aerosol plume.

US Patent:

20110043367, Feb 24, 2011
Filed:

Aug 19, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/543626
Inventors:

Donald Edward BECKER - Bradenton FL, US
Dennis Ted Rock - Canaan ME, US
Morris Stoops - Lenexa KS, US
Jan A. Braam - Bradenton FL, US
William Edwards - Bradenton FL, US
International Classification:

G08B 17/12
H04B 3/00
H04H 20/48
G05B 11/01
US Classification:

340577, 381 77, 381 3, 34031011, 381120, 704500
Abstract:

An intelligent notification appliance circuit has a controller and one or more addressable notification appliances coupled with a single pair of wires. The controller outputs integrated power, audio and control signals, and transmits the integrated signals to the one or more addressable notification appliances. Thus, the one or more addressable notification appliances are powered, operated, controlled, and monitored using the intelligent notification appliance circuit. When the intelligent notification appliance circuit is implemented in a fire and/or mass notification system, that system is able to provide integrated audio signals, power signals and control signals over a single pair of wires. The integrated audio signals may carry data indicative of live or recorded music and/or voice messages, such as: mass notification messages, general page, voice evacuation, and the like.

US Patent:

56442939, Jul 1, 1997
Filed:

May 16, 1995
Appl. No.:

8/441811

Rick A. Wolf - Sarasota FL
Assignee:

General Signal Corporation - Stamford CT
International Classification:

G08B 2900
US Classification:

340507
Abstract:

A ground fault detection scheme uniquely incorporated within a distributed intelligence, fire alarm and detection system, such that detection is achieved with location identification. The modules (and transponders) of the system collaborate with the loop controller in performing ground fault operations to determine precise existing ground conditions at the module locations.
