Publication number: 20130169817Abstract: The present invention is directed to providing a method and system that enables a first responder firefighter to take command of a building having a potential fire event. Using the method and system herein, the firefighter is able to clearly signal and guide the safe evacuation of that building. Also mounted in the building are signal arrays that are controlled and triggered by the firefighter to clearly delineate a safe and efficient evacuation route from the building. Room signal stations are provided and can be shown to the first responder firefighter to help prioritize the rescue of a building and allows for interaction and communication between an occupant and a firefighter in order to facilitate or enable more efficient and safer rescue.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2012Publication date: July 4, 2013Applicant: NetTalon Security Systems, Inc.Inventors: Donald R. Jones, Hussein Mohammed Nosair, Ronald Dubois, David E. Kimmel

Publication number: 20130147604Abstract: The present invention is directed to providing a method and system that enables a first responder firefighter to take command of a building having a potential fire event. Using the method and system herein, the firefighter is able to clearly signal and guide the safe evacuation of that building. A group of sensors are mounted throughout the building to monitor various possible fire/smoke events. Also mounted in the building are signal arrays that are controlled and triggered by the firefighter to clearly delineate a safe and efficient evacuation route from the building.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2011Publication date: June 13, 2013Inventors: Donald R. Jones, JR., Ronald Dubois, David E. Kimmel, Thomas G. Hahn, III, Kenneth Raymond Curley

Publication number: 20090121860Abstract: The present invention is directed to providing systems and methods for remotely monitoring sites to provide real-time information which can readily permit distinguishing false alarms, and which can identify and track the precise location of an alarm. In embodiments, monitoring capabilities such as intrusion/fire detection and tracking capabilities, can be implemented through the use of multistate indicators in an interface which permits information to be transmitted using standard network protocols from a remote site to a monitoring station in near real-time. In embodiments, communications can be handed from the centrally located host monitoring station to a mobile monitoring station (for example, a laptop computer in a responding vehicle, such as a police or fire vehicle). Additional embodiments include the measurement of environmental parameters such as temperature, carbon monoxide and differential air pressure to detect, monitor and manage a fire event.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2008Publication date: May 14, 2009Applicant: NetTalon Security Systems, Inc.Inventors: David E. Kimmel, Donald R. Jones, Ronald Dubois, Daniel C. Colin

Patent number: 6972676Abstract: The present invention is directed to providing systems and methods for remotely monitoring sites to provide real time information which can readily permit false alarms to be distinguished, and which can identify and track the precise location of an alarm. In exemplary embodiments, monitoring capabilities such as intrusion/fire detection and tracking capabilities, can be implemented through the use of multistate indicators in a novel interface which permits information to be transmitted using standard network protocols from a remote site to a monitoring station in real-time over preexisting communication networks, such as the Internet. A wireless network can also be established using browser encapsulated communication programs (for example, active X control, Java applets, and so forth) to transmit data packets which comply with any standard wireless local area network protocol.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2000Date of Patent: December 6, 2005Assignee: NetTalon Security Systems, Inc.Inventors: David E. Kimmel, James T. Byrne, Jr., Donald R. Jones, Jr., Ronald Dubois
