Abstract: A pump panel training device is provided and includes a plurality of simulated gages operable to imitate gages upon a fire truck pump panel, a plurality of simulated controls operable to imitate controls upon the fire truck pump panel, and a simulated water hose operable to imitate one of water temperature changes, water temperature pressure, and water hose vibration for the fire truck pump panel.

Abstract: A radio communication system operable to efficiently generate a frequency hopping sequence for radio communication and/or accurately provide system synchronization using a cyclic code. The radio communication system may employ a frequency hopping method that generally comprises acquiring a seed value, identifying a channel number matrix position utilizing at least a portion of the seed value, identifying a radio channel corresponding to the matrix position, and transmitting or receiving a signal at a frequency corresponding to the identified radio channel.
