Patent number: 9761121Abstract: A system and method of use for an accountability system within a pump panel for signaling an alarm condition to first responders. The method and system include a display embedded within a pump panel, and a radio frequency (RF) sub-system. The RF sub-system is configured to receive transmissions from a respiratory protection device (RPD). The RPD is configured to transmit an alarm condition. The method and system also include a controller coupled to the display and the RF sub-system. The controller is configured to instruct the display to display an accountability indicator once the alarm condition is received by the RF sub-system.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2015Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Scott Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Craig Michael Parkulo, Thomas G. Riley

Patent number: 9257028Abstract: A communications system is provided for emergency services personnel that includes a plurality of portable devices and a base station. The portable devices are configured to be carried by emergency services personnel while at an emergency site. The portable devices each have a first transceiver configured to communicate over a first network and a second transceiver configured to communicate over a second network, where the first and second networks operate independent of one another. For example, they may have at least one of different first and second carrier frequencies, protocol, channels and the like. The base station has at least one transceiver for communicating with the portable devices over at least one of the first and second networks. Optionally, the first and second networks may have different transmission characteristics, such as different transmit ranges, power levels and the like.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2008Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: Scott Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Craig Michael Parkulo

Patent number: 8755839Abstract: A personal multimedia communication system and network for emergency services personnel includes a plurality of personal communication systems linked together and to a base station in a network. Each personal communication system includes a PDA device mounted on a PASS control console, a video camera mounted on the PDA device, a GPS unit, a microphone, and other electronic devices. The various electronic devices are all communicatively connected to the PDA device. Data from the various devices may be collected in the PDA device and wirelessly transmitted to any other node or device in the network, including other personal communication devices. Each personal communication device may serve as a repeater, thus providing a wireless communications link between a device located out of range of the base station.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2008Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: STI Licensing Corp.Inventors: Craig Michael Parkulo, Wesley McChord Barbee, Jerald Robert Malin, Jeffrey Lynn Landis, Matthew Shannon

Patent number: 8599016Abstract: A communications system for emergency services personnel can include portable devices to be carried by emergency services personnel while at an emergency site. The portable devices each may have at least a first transceiver configured to communicate over a first network and the portable devices are configured to communicate with one another. The system may also include a portable gateway apparatus. The portable gateway apparatus may have a portable computer having a graphical user interface (GUI) and a PCMCIA or smaller card that itself includes at least a first radio. The first radio is configured to communicate over the first network to obtain status information from the portable devices carried by the emergency services personnel. The GUI is configured to communicate with the PCMCIA card to display a node map indicating communication links between the portable devices carried by the emergency services personnel.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2011Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Scott Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Craig Michael Parkulo, Julie Marshall
