  • Publication number: 20240304079
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an alarm call point which is able to discriminate between activation in an alarm situation and activation in a test situation (e.g. activation using a test key). This arrangement allows an alarm system to be tested without needing to put the control panel into a special test mode, making it easier and quicker to install, commission and test the system.

  • Publication number: 20230398595
    Abstract: An insulating die plate includes two parallel end plates and an insulating layer arranged therebetween which includes ceramic insulating bodies. An insulating body plane parallel to the end plates is defined for the insulating layer. Intermediate spaces are arranged on the insulating body plane between the insulating bodies. A total insulating layer area includes at least surface insulating body portions and surface intermediate space portions. In each section through the insulating bodies parallel to the insulating body plane, an insulating body surface portion in the total insulating layer area is at least 50%, the insulating bodies are symmetrically formed, with the top side equal to the bottom side of the insulating body and each insulating body designed as a plate having a height and a maximum width at least 2.5 times wider than the height of the insulating body; and/or the insulating bodies are anisotropically shaped.

  • Patent number: 10558917
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting speech from occupants in a building management system is disclosed. Building management systems include fire alarm systems, building automation systems and security systems, in examples. Installed devices deployed within the building include audio transducers that detect speech from the occupants, and a management system panel processes the information from the installed devices and processes the detected speech from the occupants. In a fire alarm system, in one example, the fire alarm panel processes the detected speech from fire sensor devices and alarm notification devices as the installed devices. The fire alarm panel and/or its installed devices can identify commands from the detected speech for controlling and testing the fire alarm management system. In embodiments, Artificial Intelligence (AI) subsystems can be further added to the building management systems for control and information services.
