  • Publication number: 20180200543
    Abstract: A portable personal emergency escape device, having a protective sack, a cable and a securing member. The protective sack is made of fire resistant or fire proof material and is sufficient in size to hold and enclose an individual therein. A first end of the cable is attached to the protective sack. The securing member is configured to be secured to an inside of a building structure and is attached to a second end of the cable. The cable has sufficient length to allow the protective sack to extend from the securing member to an outside of the building structure. The protective sack hangs below an opening in the building structure when deployed to provide the individual a temporary escape while awaiting rescue from the dangerous condition.

  • Publication number: 20160292895
    Abstract: A multi-platform industrial search system facilitates indexing and searching of plant-wide data residing on multiple different data platforms. The industrial search system automatically inventories industrial devices and other data sources located throughout a plant, and identifies available data items on each data source. The search system indexes the discovered data items in a federated data model that can subsequently be searched to locate data items or tags of interest. The federated data model records references to data items found on different types of data sources, including but not limited to industrial controller programs, human-machine interface applications, data historians, device documentation stores, inventory tracking systems, and other such data sources. The search system can present search results as a layered map presentation that graphically depicts the search results on multiple view-specific layers that can be viewed individually or combined into composite layered presentations.
