Abstract: A radio frequency identification seal comprises an antenna including a main antenna portion and at least one break-away portion and an RFID tag coupled and tuned to the antenna. The RFID tag outputs a signature in response to a scanning signal when tuned to the antenna.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a label configured to be coupled to a medicament delivery device. The label includes a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is configured to be coupled to an outer surface of the medicament delivery device. The second surface includes a textual indicia. The label further includes an electronic circuit system configured to output an electronic signal.

Abstract: A manual call point having a housing base (1), a cover and an alarm insert with a fragile panel (4), a printed-circuit board (3), a switching element (6) and an actuating mechanism. The actuating mechanism for the switching element (6) is formed by a pivoting lever (7) resting on a lateral edge of the panel (4), the pivoting lever (7) pressing on the switching element (6) in the normal state of the manual call point and holding the switching element (6) in a closed position. When the panel (4) is smashed the pivoting lever (7) pivots, so the switching element (6) is opened. The switching element (6) is arranged on the printed-circuit board (3) and comprises a flexible end switch. The manual call point also contains a device for triggering a test alarm comprising a switching lever (9) to displace the panel (4) until the pivoting lever (7) is released and comprises a member (10) to actuate the switching lever (9).

Abstract: An improved retractable tamper resistant annunciator that can be mounted flush in a supporting structure is described. The annunciator mechanism includes a housing that has an actuatable cover. Signaling devices are enclosed within the housing, and can be selectively actuated when the cover is opened. A mechanism to open and close the cover to expose the signaling devices or to cover the signaling devices include a reversible motor structure. Alternative mechanisms to open and close the cover include biasing structures to move the cover in a first direction and an electrical device to move the cover in a second direction.

Abstract: An emergency hammer comprising a handle and a hammer head. A holding device fastenable to a surface and including a shaped recess on the exterior of the housing of the holding device for receiving the hammer. An anti-theft device comprising a flexible security cable extending between the hammer and a winding drum inside the housing of the holding device. The security cable being windable onto and off the drum. The security cable constructed to protect against its tearing or being cut.

Abstract: A frame for supporting a sheet of glass over a fire alarm signal switch mounted on a wall. The frame is of the type which holds the glass over the switch so that the alarm signal can only be operated by breaking the glass. The frame has a cover member with an open bottom so that when the glass is broken to operate the alarm the resulting shards of glass fall through the open bottom of the cover member so that they do not injure the operator.

Abstract: An alarm switch has a box for mounting on a supporting surface, a front plate movably mounted in the box, a frangible element having a plurality of frangible areas spaced in succession thereon and each of which can be broken off the frangible elements, a stop element on either the box or the front plate, and the frangible element being on the remaining one of the box and the front plate, the stop element and the frangible element being positioned for, when the front plate is moved from a normal position relative to the box, the stop element and one of the frangible areas are engaged for causing the frangible area to be broken off the frangible element, and the frangible element and the stop element being shiftable relative to each other for, after one frangible area has been broken off, bringing the stop element and the next frangible area in succession into position for being engaged with each other when the front plate is moved again, and a switch unit operatively connected to the front plate for being oper

Abstract: A pull station having a housing of unitary construction with integral cover and base portions, the cover portion having a handle so that the cover portion can be pulled away from the base portion when a signal, such as an alarm signal, is to be generated, a break glass holder provided on one of the portions for receiving a glass structure to be broken when the cover portion is pulled away from the base portion, a glass breaker provided on the other of the portions, the glass breaker having a camming surface to ride over the glass structure when the portions are closed and having a breaking surface for breaking the glass structure when the cover portion is pulled away from the base portion, and a signal generator for generating a signal when the cover portion is pulled.

Abstract: A medication compliance monitoring system consisting of a blister pack having an array of plastic blisters defining compartments for medication, with a frangible non-conductive backing sheet having conductive traces behind the compartments which are respectively ruptured when the medication doses are removed. The blister pack is detachably connected to an electronic memory circuit via a multi-terminal male connector tab on the backing sheet, wired to the conductive traces, and a corresponding female connector with terminals wired to the electronic memory circuit. The electronic memory circuit addresses each individual trace periodically at a constant time interval over a predetermined extended period of time to determine if it is intact. The electronic memory circuit detects the ruptures and stores the time data thereof over said extended period of time.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to an apparatus for fire alarm signaling which is economical and versatile and which makes use of the properties and characteristics of the material of which it is made. All components of the assembly snap together. An auxiliary cover as well as the main cover may be used. A lower break-rod is mounted on the base and cammed aside as the main cover is closed and then the break-rod returned to a position to be broken in response to opening the main cover, an upper break-rod may be associated with the auxiliary cover. Up to three switches may be provided and each has a latched position. A simple tool is used to release the switch latch. The latch comprises an integral part of the base and/or switch stems. During assembly selected elements may be selectively oriented to make any switch have either normally-open or normally-closed contacts. The catch between the main cover and base permits easy actuation and yet inhibits false actuation in response to a blow. No internal wiring is required.

Abstract: A multi-zone fire protection system in which each protected zone is provided with a detector for producing an alarm signal in response to the presence of combustion products, a source of fire extinguishing agent, and a pull box station manually operable to induce discharge of the extinguishing agent into the protected zone. Each pull station possesses a signal lamp that can be energized to signal an abnormal condition to personnel present in the area. A signal lamp in a given zone is energized via a central control panel in response to an alarm signal from a detector associated with that zone, thereby clearly indicating to personnel at hand the specific zone in which a fire has been detected.
