Publication number: 20220268681Abstract: The invention relates to a housing for a detection unit for optically detecting smoke particles. The detection unit has a light source for emitting radiation to be scattered by smoke particles to be detected and a light detector for detecting the scattered radiation. The housing 2 has a cylindrical outer surface 7 having smoke openings 8 through which the smoke particles enter housing 2, and a radially symmetric light-guiding structure 9 with guide members. The guide members are so designed that adjacent guide members each form a guide channel through which the radiation emitted from the light source and not scattered by the smoke particles is guidable to the outside in the direction of the smoke openings 8 by multiple reflection. Higher detection sensitivity for optically detecting smoke particles can be achieved as a result.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2020Publication date: August 25, 2022Inventors: Jens EICHMANN, Carl DECHAU, Thorsten MITZLAFF, Timo ZIEGENBEIN, Hauke DITTMER, Dirk SIEMER

Patent number: 9952915Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to methods, and systems for generating event processing language code in a development environment using an event processing compiler. A query in event processing language is received in a development environment. The query can be associated with sample data from input files or an input data source. An event processing compiler compiles the query, where the compiler transforms the query from event processing language code to a development environment script language code. In particular, the event processing language code transforms the code based on event processing attributes that are intricately aligned in syntax and semantic between the event processing language and the development environment script language. The query as a development environment script is executed using sample data.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2015Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Olivier Nano, Ivo Jose Garcia Dos Santos, Dirk Siemer, Laurent Bussard, Clemens A.

Patent number: 8400314Abstract: A fire alarm consists of a housing in which sensors, a radiation source, and an optical window are disposed. A reflector protection basket or ring is disposed above the optical window. The basket or ring is suitable for protecting the optical window against mechanical influences, allows UV and IR radiation to pass through to a sufficient degree, and reflects UV and IR radiation from the housing interior, on its inside. Monitoring of the contamination of the window, function monitoring of the sensors and of the signal processing electronics, as well as easy replaceability of the components in the fire alarm are provided.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2010Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Minimax GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 8253106Abstract: A device for detecting flames in which at least two identical detectors are disposed next to one another. Each detector has an identical signal processing circuit having an amplifier and an A/D converter, and a symmetrical and similar layout, i.e., conductor track placement. Each of the detectors covers a different wavelength range, by way of a preceding filter, and the signal detection takes place at the same time and synchronously, so that a precise analysis of the received radiation occurs using simple algorithms, independent of disruptive influence variables. By using the same detectors and the same signal processing systems, as well as the symmetrical and similar configuration of the conductor track placement, as well as the synchronous control of the signal recording, interference variables occur uniformly on all optical reception channels. This uniform interference can be compensated without complicated algorithms.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2010Date of Patent: August 28, 2012Assignee: Minimax GmbH & Co.
