Publication number: 20220409940Abstract: A communication system includes a first radio frequency identification (RFID) device coupled to a sensor that monitors a fire condition and a second RFID device. The first RFID device includes at least one first antenna that receives a fire detection signal from the sensor, and a processing circuit that causes the at least one first antenna to transmit a radio frequency (RF) signal corresponding to the fire detection signal through an internal volume of a pipe coupled to a fluid source. The second RFID device includes at least one second antenna that receives the RF signal through the internal volume of the pipe. The second RFID device controls operation of a fluid distribution device responsive to receiving the indication of the fire detection signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2022Publication date: December 29, 2022Applicant: Tyco Fire Products LPInventors: Steve Edward Trivelpiece, Craig Evan Trivelpiece

Patent number: 11229812Abstract: A fire protection system includes a pipe system in fluid communication with a water source. A local processing unit is operatively coupled to a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag reader antenna. Sensors monitoring a sensor area for the presence of a fire are in electrical communication with the local processing unit. Fluid distribution devices in fluid communication with the pipe system are configured to deliver water from the water source to the sensor area. An RFID tag apparatus is coupled to one of the fluid distribution devices and includes an RFID tag antenna positioned within the pipe system and is configured to transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) signals to and from the RFID reader antenna and local processing unit, through the pipe system.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2019Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: Tyco Fire Products LPInventors: Steve Edward Trivelpiece, Craig Evan Trivelpiece

Patent number: 11103735Abstract: A corrosion monitoring system of a fire protection system includes at least one first antenna and a processing circuit. The at least one first antenna receives a radio frequency (RF) signal through an internal volume of at least one pipe of the fire protection system. The processing circuit includes one or more processors and memory including computer-readable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to determine a signature of the RF signal, compare the signature to an expected signature, and determine, based on the comparison, that corrosion in the at least one pipe has occurred.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2019Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: Tyco Fire Products LPInventors: Steve Edward Trivelpiece, Craig Evan Trivelpiece

Patent number: 8736423Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the invention, RFID network control devices (RNCDs) are provided wherein RFID traffic signals from any one of multiple RFID readers may be routed to any of the RFID antennas coupled to the RNCD. Each reader coupled directly or indirectly to the RNCD, either through its own action or the action of the external host controller managing the reader, may issue commands to the RNCD, over the same cable used to carry RFID traffic signals, and cause the RNCD to set its internal switch configuration such that a channel is established for RFID traffic signals between that reader and a particular RFID antenna coupled to the RNCD. This may include commands from the reader or external host controller which place other intervening RNCD units in a bypass state so as to establish the required communications channel with a minimum of signal strength loss.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2012Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Tyco Fire & Security GmbHInventors: Richard John Campero, Steven James Raynesford, Craig Evan Trivelpiece, Steve Edward Trivelpiece
