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 adaptive method and system for monitoring a shipping container for an environmental anomaly uses sensor-based ID nodes within the container and a command node. Sensors on each ID node generate sensor data about an environmental condition proximate the ID node as disposed within the container. Each ID node periodically broadcasts the sensor data. The command node monitors a first group of sensor data from the ID nodes over a first time period to detect an initial environmental threshold condition related to the container, then monitors a subsequent group of sensor data over a second time period under a modified monitoring parameter to detect a secondary environmental threshold condition related to the container as the anomaly. In response to detecting the secondary condition, the command node generates an alert notification and transmits the alert notification to an external transceiver to initiate a mediation response related to the anomaly. 124-.

A fire protection device for small electrical devices provided with a housing. The fire protection device includes a bursting capsule featuring a hollow space that is completely enclosed and delimited by a vessel wall, wherein a liquid is disposed in the hollow space. The liquid breaks the vessel wall at a predetermined trigger temperature due to thermal expansion thereby causing the bursting capsule to rupture. When the vessel wall ruptures and releases the liquid it has a fire preventing effect and/or a fire extinguishing effect. 1. A fire protection device for a small electrical device , where the small electrical device includes a housing and electrical components arranged within an interior of the housing; wherein the fire protection device comprises: a) breaks the vessel wall of the bursting capsule at a predetermined trigger temperature due to thermal expansion thereby causing the bursting capsule to rupture; wherein the liquid within the bursting capsule is released into the interior of the housing; and', 'b) has a fire preventing effect and/or an extinguishing effect; and, 'a bursting capsule located within the interior of the housing; said bursting capsule featuring a hollow space that is completely enclosed and delimited by a vessel wall, wherein a liquid is disposed in the hollow space, and wherein the liquid is a halon; and wherein the liquidwherein the fire protection device further includes an electrical conductor routed between two contact points formed on the bursting capsule, which electrical conductor is connected between a voltage supply and the electrical components within the housing and the conductor conducts current to the electrical components; and wherein the electrical conductor is formed in such a way that the electrical conductor is automatically and inadvertently destroyed when the bursting capsule ruptures, thereby cutting power to the electrical components of the small electrical device located within the housing.2. The fire ...

Принадлежит:

An apparatus for exhausting air from a space. The space may comprise the interior space(s) of buildings such as hospitals, enclosed shopping malls, warehouses, factories, high rise buildings, etc. The apparatus comprises at least a first discharging arrangement in the form of return and supply air ducts of an air handling unit (AHU). The apparatus also comprises a second discharging arrangement in the form of a smoke exhaust box. The return air duct is arranged to receive an air stream discharged from the space and is able to be isolated from the smoke exhaust box. Upon isolation of the return air duct, the smoke exhaust box is able to receive and discharge an air stream (e.g. a smoke-filled or contaminated air stream) from the space. 1. An apparatus for exhausting air from a space comprising:a first discharging arrangement arranged to receive an air stream discharged from the space; anda second discharging arrangement, externally cantilevered from the first discharging arrangement;the first discharging arrangement able to be isolated from the second discharging arrangement whereby the second discharging arrangement is able to receive the air stream discharged from the space when the first discharging arrangement is isolated.2. The apparatus for exhausting air in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the first discharging arrangement is able to be partially or fully isolated from the second discharging arrangement claim 1 , whereby the second discharging arrangement is able to receive part or all of the air stream discharged from the space when the first discharging arrangement is partially or fully isolated claim 1 , respectively.3. The apparatus for exhausting air in accordance with claim 1 , wherein at least one support member is mounted to extend from the first discharging arrangement towards a remote edge of the second discharging arrangement and is mounted to the second discharging arrangement to facilitate the cantilever of the second discharging arrangement from ...
