Patent number: 9970912Abstract: Apparatus and methods for detecting smoke in an area. The apparatus may include a first detector module comprising a sensor configured to detect smoke in a volume of air received from the area, and a display module configured to receive input from the first detector module and provide output to a detection management device. The apparatus may also include a first backplane electrically coupled to the first detector module, and a second backplane electrically coupled to the display module and to the first backplane so as to transmit power, signals, or both between the display module and the first detector module. The first and second backplanes may be interchangeable.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2013Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: UTC FIRE & SECURITY AMERICAS CORPORATION, INC.Inventors: Miguel Angel Perez Gandara, David Gimenez

Publication number: 20170280641Abstract: Methods of creating a controller module configured to be used by a water installation controlling apparatus to control a water installation device which is associable with the water installation controlling apparatus and which is not compatible with a control protocol used by the water installation controlling apparatus. The method comprises: obtaining, from a user input, at least a predefined type of the water installation device; obtaining, from a repository of control instructions, a set of control instructions associated with the predefined type of the water installation device; creating the controller module; and including the set of control instructions in the controller module. The set of control instructions comprises output control instructions configured to be called, by the water installation controlling apparatus, according to the control protocol, and to be executed for operating the non-compatible water installation device as required by the control protocol.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2017Publication date: October 5, 2017Inventors: David GIMÉNEZ PALLARÈS, Òscar PENELO ARIAS, Domènec MELENDO CASADO, Daniel BUJALANCE COLL

Patent number: 9705562Abstract: A power line communication device comprises a plurality of transformers in series. These transformers are used to increase the voltage of a digitally encoded signal in a stepwise fashion prior to being coupled into a power line. While a transmit path includes at least a first transformer and a second transformer in series, a receive path may include only one of these two transformers. For example a receive path may include only the first transformer, or include the first transformer and a third transformer. The net ratio of voltage increase and decrease may be different in the transmit and receive paths.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2008Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: BROADCOM EUROPE LIMITEDInventors: Jonathan Ephriam David Hurwitz, David Gimenez Rocamora

Publication number: 20150254953Abstract: A smoke detection system as well as an apparatus and method for coupling a smoke detection system with a pipe communicating with an area to be monitored. The apparatus includes a first cylindrical body including a first end configured to receive and seal with a port of the smoke detection system, and a second end. The apparatus also includes a second cylindrical body including a first end coupled with the second end of the first cylindrical body, and a second end, with the second cylindrical body receiving the pipe with the second end. The apparatus further includes a gland coupled with the second end of the second cylindrical body, the gland being configured to receive the pipe therethrough and tighten to seal with the pipe, such that the pipe communicates with the smoke detection system, via at least the first cylindrical body.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2013Publication date: September 10, 2015Inventors: Miguel Angel Perez Gandara, David Gimenez
