Patent number: 11504559Abstract: A linear detector element includes an outer sheath having a first end and a second end, one or more shape memory responsive elements within the outer sheath and between the first end and the second end and first and second conductive wires passing through at least a portion of the outer sheath and through the one or more shape memory responsive elements. The one more shape memory responsive elements include a shape memory actuator surrounding the first and second conductive wires and that has an expanded size and a contracted size and that is sized and arranged such that when the shape memory actuator is in the contracted state the first and second conductive wires contact one another and when the shape memory actuator is in the expanded state the first and second conductive wires do not contact one another.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2019Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: KIDDE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Thambiraj Avudaiappan, Scott Kenneth Newlin, Dharmendr Len Seebaluck

Patent number: 10828518Abstract: An integrated fire suppression system receives inert gas from onboard gas generators and water effluent from onboard water generators. The inert gas and water effluent are mixed in a gas-water mixer to generate an inert aerosol. The inert aerosol is provided to a fire suppressant distribution network and sprayed into areas of the aircraft requiring fire suppression to provide cooling and to prevent reignition.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2018Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Kidde Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Lubomir A.

Patent number: 10105558Abstract: A fire suppression system includes a high pressure inert gas source configured to provide a first inert gas output and a low pressure inert gas source configured to provide a second inert gas output. A distribution network is connected with the high pressure inert gas source and the low pressure inert gas source to distribute the first inert gas output and the second inert gas output throughout a confined space. A volume reduction system is positioned within the confined space and includes a seal member. The seal member is selectively deployable between a first position and a second position to isolate a first volume of the confined space from a second volume of the confined space and reduce an amount of the first inert gas output and the second inert gas output required to respond to a fire threat within the confined space.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2017Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Kidde Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dharmendr Len Seebaluck, Terry Simpson, Robert Glaser
