Abstract: In a fire sprinkler system, flow sensors are used having strain gauges mounted on supports which project into the sprinkler pipes. When water flow occurs, the supports bend, changing the strain gauge resistance and producing a signal which can be analyzed to indicate which sprinkler heads are open. Since there are no mechanical switches, the sensor units are much smaller and cheaper than previously, and provide more information. A strain gauge can also or alternatively be located outside the pipe to detect vibration caused by flowing water. As an alternative to strain gauges, piezo film can be used, with a vibration analyzer to analyze the signal from the film to determine whether water flow is occurring and which sprinkler heads are open. A piezo film can also be placed on the pipe exterior and the signals from the two piezo films can be applied to differential inputs of a differential amplifier, to cancel signals caused by external influences such as pipe vibration.

Abstract: The invention is a device that converts a linear input to a rotational output. The invention includes a system of one or more extendable and retractable members that actively change the radius of rotation of weights on the members. The members are connected to a rotatable member for rotation about a non-vertical axis. By actively changing the radius of rotation of a weight, a non-circular path is established for each weight to follow. This path is biased so that, while the weight has the greatest radius of rotation, it also is undergoing a downward stroke. While the weight is undergoing an upward stroke, the radius of rotation is at its minimum. The system thereby utilizes the force of gravity during transitions between maximum and minimum radii to produce a rotational output.
