Abstract: A system and method for providing emergency alarm communications in an fire panel network having a ring topology. The fire panels of the network each include an emergency interface between a panel processor and a panel transceiver. The emergency interface includes a communication link that is different from a normal TCP/IP communication link of the associated panel. The emergency interface comprises a separate communication path from the normal communication link. When normal TCP/IP communications are interrupted, the emergency interface is operable to transmit alarm signals to an adjacent panel in the network. The alarm signals may then be transmitted between subsequently connected panels and a workstation or central monitoring station via the normal TCP/IP mode. The workstation and/or central monitoring station can recognize the alarm signals as being generated by the originating panel. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: The effervescent tablet dispenser may be assembled onto the open end of a container tube (2). It consists of an annular lower part (3) which may be assembled onto the open end of a container tube (2). For this there is a lid (4) for closing the annular lower part (3). A dispenser tab (8) extends diametrically in a tongue-like manner in the lower part (3) in its clear opening This dispenser tab (8) is integrally formed on the inner edge (10) of the lower part (3) in the manner of a film hinge. With respect to the annular lower part (3) is may be pivoted out in the axial direction by at least 10°. When the container tube is tipped, the dispenser tab under the load of a tablet lying on it pivots approx. 10° downwards and the lowermost tablet may be easily removed with one hand, whilst the remaining ones are held back.

Abstract: An effervescent tablet dispenser includes an annular lower part, which may be assembled onto the open end of a container tube, and a lid for closing the annular lower part. A dispenser tab extends diametrically in a tongue-like manner in the lower annular part in its clear opening. The dispenser tab is integrally formed on the inner edge of the lower part as a film hinge and, relative to the lower annular part, may be pivoted outwardly in an axial direction by at least 10°. When the container tube is tipped, the dispenser tab, under the load of a tablet lying on it, pivots approximately 10° downwardly and the lowermost tablet may then be easily removed with one hand of a user, while the remaining tablets are retained in the tablet dispenser.

Abstract: An inliner bag having a plastic bag produced by injection blow molding and having a delivery nozzle, and in the shape of a bottle, preferably of a low-density polyethylene (LDPE). The bottle has in the shoulder region of the delivery nozzle or in the lower region thereof, an external radially projecting rim which is intended to act as a disc valve against the inside of the outer container. The one-way valve has a plug fitting into the delivery nozzle and has a delivery channel with a conically widening mouth. A cannula having a tension spring and a cone valve which are integral with it fits into the delivery channel. The cone valve cooperates with the widening mouth. The inliner bottle is squeezed prior to filling and is pushed through the bottle nozzle into the outer bottle and is then filled and the plug with the already inserted one-way valve is then inserted.

Abstract: A nurse call indicator includes a housing capable of supporting plural, individually replaceable indicator lamps, as well as plural indicator lamps. Each indicator lamp is mountable in a single indicator space within the housing. Indicator lamps may be single or multi-color, for example, by using different colored LEDs which light depending on the applied polarity.
