Abstract: A fire detection and suppression system includes a fire suppression system configured to suppress a fire in an area, a temperature sensor configured to measures a zone temperature for each of a plurality of zones in the area, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive the zone temperatures from the temperature sensor for each of the plurality of zones, detect a hazard condition in a first zone of the plurality of zones based on the zone temperature for the first zone, and activate the fire suppression system in response to detecting the hazard condition in the first zone.

Abstract: Examples of methods are described. In some examples, a method includes evaluating, by an electronic device, resource state information based on a policy. In some examples, the method includes determining, by the electronic device, to change from a second encoder to a first encoder based on the evaluation. In some examples, the first encoder is to encode a desktop display image sequence. In some examples, the method includes communicating, by the electronic device, the encoded desktop display image sequence.

Abstract: A strobe notification appliance and an emergency lighting appliance that output directional information are disclosed. The strobe notification appliance may generate, in addition to notification of the fire condition, directional information (e.g., such as away from the unavailable exit paths and/or toward the preferred exit paths). For example, the strobe notification appliance includes a strobe element outputting fire notification information and a directional light element outputting directional information. The emergency lighting appliance may also operate in different modes, such as a power failure mode in which the emergency lighting appliance outputs light responsive to a power failure, and an alert mode (e.g., fire alert or mass notification alert mode) in which the emergency lighting appliance outputs light to convey directional information in order to guide occupants of a building. In this way, the occupants may be notified of an alarm event and notified of available or unavailable exit paths.

Abstract: A notification appliance is disclosed. The notification appliance may be a strobe notification appliance, such as an LED strobe notification appliance. The notification appliance may be wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted. Further, the notification appliance may include an optic that is configured to shape the light output from the notification appliance. For example, in a wall-mount, the optic may be mounted off-axis of a plane defined by a back plate of the notification appliance. Further, the notification appliance may be composed of a back plate, a driver board, and a front housing, with the front housing being attached to one or both of the back plate and the driver board. Moreover, the notification appliance may be used with an adapter bracket, which may be used to connect the notification appliance with one or more types of junction boxes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for motion determination comprising generating a hash value for each changed pixel in a frame of an image display sequence, the changed pixels indicated in a set of sparse display coordinates, for each changed pixel, overwriting (X, Y) information at a position in a symbol table indexed by the hash value, the (X, Y) information comprising one display coordinate associated with the each changed pixel, generating motion vectors for a frame, each motion vector specifying a pixel area determined from at least one (X, Y) delta between one of the changed pixels represented in the symbol table and a previously changed pixel represented at the position in a previous frame symbol table for a previous frame in the image display sequence, and transmitting the motion vectors from the host computer over a network to a client computer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting a desktop display comprising classifying a first region of the desktop display as persistently changed and a second region of the desktop display as sporadically changed, adjusting, in relation to a user experience (UX) bias and a resource constraint, a target image quality for the first region, decimating the first region in accordance with a spatial decimation factor to generate a first decimated region, compressing the first decimated region at the target image quality and compressing the second region to generate a plurality of compressed regions and transmitting the plurality of compressed regions to a client via an IP network.

Abstract: A strobe notification appliance that outputs directional information is disclosed. The strobe notification appliance may generate, in addition to notification of the fire condition, directional information (e.g., such as away from the unavailable exit paths and/or toward the preferred exit paths). In one instance, the strobe notification appliance includes a strobe element (such as a flash tube strobe element or LED strobe element) outputting fire notification information and a directional light element (such as one or more LEDs) outputting directional information. In another instance, the strobe notification appliance includes the strobe element that outputs both fire notification information and directional information. In this way, occupants of a building may be notified of a fire and notified of available or unavailable exit paths.
