  • Publication number: 20160228731
    Abstract: The current invention is system and device for a Self-Contained-Breathing-Apparatus (SCBA) emergency situation to solve the problem where a user is motionless and non-breathing. In order to hasten a Full Alarm activation and speed up the notification of distress to rescuers, in addition to the standard motion-sensing alarm, the SCBA shall be equipped with an ‘air activation’ alarm. Such ‘air activation’ alarm system shall monitor airflow to and from the user and activate if a user is not breathing.

  • Publication number: 20150304575
    Abstract: The invention is a small optical display connect to a facepiece. The optical display is paired via Bluetooth or WIFI to a thermal imager. This device will allow a firefighter to see the clearest picture possible through dense smoke. The integrated optical display may be paired with a smartphone, or similar informational device. Such a device may be utilized to display information to the firefighter, such as building plans or important messages. The integrated optical device shall be wholly independent of the facepiece and may easily be removed from one facepiece and placed in another.

  • Publication number: 20110068944
    Abstract: An apparatus and method comprising of a remote microphone attached to a portable radio such as those carried by Firefighters and other First Responders and equipped with automatic motion sensing and Emergency Alert capabilities which becomes activated when such Firefighters and other First Responders are unconscious or immobilized. The invention incorporates a motion sensing component, such as a Solid State Accelerometer, and an orientation sensing component, such as a Solid State Gyroscope or a multidirectional Solid State Accelerometer into the radio's remote microphone and is programmed to become activated by the wearer's motionlessness and subsequently activates the Emergency Alert as if the wearer had pressed the Emergency Alert button. The activation may send out an audible distress signal, a radio frequency (RF) distress signal, or both.

  • Publication number: 20110045795
    Abstract: An apparatus and method comprising of a portable radio such as those carried by Firefighters and other First Responders and equipped with automatic motion sensing and Emergency Alert capabilities incorporated within the body of said portable radio which becomes activated when such Firefighters and other First Responders are unconscious or immobilized. The invention incorporates a motion sensing component, such as a Solid State Accelerometer interfaced with an orientation component, such as a Solid State Gyroscope, or a multidirectional solid State Accelerometer incorporated within the body of said portable radio and programmed to be activated by the wearer's motionlessness and subsequently provides the Emergency Alert as if the wearer had pressed the Emergency Alert button. The activation may send out an audible distress signal, a radio frequency (RF) distress signal, or both.
