A fire-extinguishing bomb that can be pre-programmed to explode 2-200 feet above the ground or tree line. The bomb employs a laser or barometric altitude sensor in combination with a GPS-altitude sensor for failsafe detonation with extreme accuracy at the proper altitude. The redundant failsafe altitude-dependent detonation system ruptures a container carrying a payload of wet or dry fire retardant/suppressant, preferably dry environmentally-friendly fire-retardant powder having no toxicity and having fertilizer properties. Upon detonation the device coats the ground below with a uniform fire extinguishing coating. The core components of the bomb can be biodegradable, or alternatively can be readily retrieved and reused after each activation, thereby increasing both economy and reducing environmental concerns.

Method for Dispersing a Gas Cloud and Apparatus for Carrying Out Said Method

Номер: US20150000937A1

Принадлежит: Individual

An apparatus for dispersing a gas cloud has a solid fence mounted around the tank and at least one mesh fence on the upper edge of the fence. Sprayers on the header are oriented towards the fence and connected to a source of liquid. A cover with openings is mounted on the upper edge of the fence. Mounted pipes are in the openings. Gas detectors and heat radiation detectors are arranged between the tank and the fence and are connected to a system controlling supplying the liquid into the sprayers. If gas leaks from the tank, horizontal spreading of the gas cloud is restricted by creating a film of liquid on a mesh fence. The cloud is diluted with air to safe concentration by restricting the vertical spread of the cloud in the mesh fence and by dividing the cloud escaping from the zone into separate streams.

A fire suppression system for a plurality of enclosures in an aircraft comprising:a plurality of bottles containing fire suppression agent;a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor on each bottle for measuring temperature and pressure data of the bottle contents;an addressable bottle valve on each bottle; anda control unit configured to analyse the temperature and pressure data for each bottle to determine adequacy of fire suppression agent content for extinguishing a fire in a particular enclosure of the aircraft and further configured to control the bottle valves independently by using the bottle valves' addresses, in order to manage the release of fire suppression agent.2. A fire suppression system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured with fire suppression agent discharge responses for each enclosure of the aircraft and wherein the control unit is configured to select a bottle from the plurality of bottles by making reference to the temperature and pressure data and determining the adequacy of the fire suppression agent content in each bottle for extinguishing a fire in the enclosure of the aircraft where fire or risk of fire has been detected.3. A fire suppression system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the bottle ...

Systems and methods are described for monitoring, detecting, and initiating a response to an environmental anomaly within a shipping container of packages involves sensor-based ID nodes, a command node and an external transceiver on a transit vehicle. Each ID node generates and broadcasts sensor data on environmental conditions proximate the respective ID node within the shipping container. The command node detects the sensor data from each ID node and compares it with locally maintained context data (an environmental threshold condition) for that ID node to detect the environmental anomaly when sensor data exceeds a respective threshold condition. The command node then generates a layered alert notification related to the environmental anomaly identifying a targeted mediation recipient and targeted mediation action, and establishing a mediation response priority. The command node initiates a mediation response related to the targeted mediation action by transmitting the layered alert notification transmitted to the external transceiver. 1127-. (canceled)128. An improved monitoring system for detecting an environmental anomaly in a shipping container that maintains a plurality of packages and for reporting a layered alert notification related to the environmental anomaly to an external transceiver associated with a transit vehicle transporting the shipping container , the system comprising: an ID node processing unit,', 'an ID node memory coupled to the ID node processing unit, the memory maintaining at least an ID node monitoring program code,', 'at least one environmental sensor configured to generate sensor data related to an environmental condition proximate the respective ID node as disposed within the shipping container,', 'a wireless radio transceiver coupled to the ID node processing unit, the wireless radio transceiver being configured to access the sensor data generated by the at least one environmental sensor and broadcast the sensor data in response to a ...
