Abstract: Rack-mount chassis for mounting to an electronic equipment rack are disclosed. A rack-mount chassis may include a housing comprising a top portion, a bottom portion, a first side portion, a second side portion and a back portion. The rack-mount chassis may further include a front portion forming a front face of the housing. The rack-mount chassis may also include at least one electronic component within the housing. The rack-mount chassis may further include at least one electrical power coupler mounted to at least one recessed portion of the first side portion of the housing configured to mate with a corresponding connector plug of a power cord and supply electrical power therefrom to the at least one electronic component.

Abstract: A system for event detection and reporting has primary sensors for producing raw data from observing the proximate area, one or more processors for the primary sensors, for processing the raw data to produce output, a centralized controller to which each of the processors is connected, for receiving the output, a security network for communicating between the sensors, the controller, and one or more remote terminals, the security network having an alarm, and a plurality of auxiliary sensors for providing secondary sensor information to the one or more processors wherein the controller provides an alarm to the remote terminals through the security network if an event has occurred. A method of event detection has the steps of receiving a control command, alarm message and sensor information, determining if an event has occurred, and sending alarm messages and filtered sensor information to remote terminals if an event has occurred.

Abstract: A monitoring system for a patient in a bed having a room number that provides a signal to a nurses station when the patient exits the bed including a sensor pad positioned on the bed responsive to the weight of a patient, a control unit adjacent the bed to which the sensor pad is connected, a display unit positioned adjacent the nurses station having a room number visual display and an audio signal generator and a radio signal transmitter in the control unit that transmits a radio signal upon actuation of the sensor pad and a radio receiver in the display unit that responds to sound an audio alarm and to visually display the patients room number.

Abstract: A combination to detect the proximity of an emergency vehicle including a transmitter in the emergency vehicle and a receiver in another vehicle, the receiver actuating an alarm such as a blinking light upon the reception of a transmission from an emergency vehicle.

Abstract: The system includes a plurality of zone valves located in a gas flow pipeline. These valves contain a fiber optic bundle that is installed in the center of the valve handle. The fiber optic light comes from a source and is read by a light detector. As long as light is detected by the light detector, the circuitry within the detector will function as a closed circuit. As soon as the detector is not sensed, the detector will function as an open circuit and will provide an alarm to a floor control panel and on to a system annunciator. The system processor is capable of performing remote shunting. The operator can determine by visual reference the location of the problem. False alarms caused by intermittent faulty loops can be identified by a built in memory circuit. The circuit is also capable of detecting loss of current flow that could be caused by a number of reasons. The loss will cause an alarm condition to occur and the operator shall be notified of the system's condition.
