Abstract: The present invention relates to tactile warning panels, and in particular to tactile warning panels that are designed and built with multifunction/multipurpose capabilities that serve the visually impaired and enable the deployment of smart city technology by integrating tactile warning systems and subsurface enclosures that can withstand pressures of five (5) tons up to and exceeding sixty (60) tons and incorporate small cells, beacons, sensors, Fog Computing, electric energy generation, rechargeable power supplies, wireless M2M communication and a plethora of other smart city technologies.

Abstract: An emergency call station provides emergency communication services for a user to contact an emergency responder. The call station includes an integrated IP video camera, an integrated security console, and at least one processor configured to provide network supervision status monitoring and notification, status message escalations, logging voice and video, text-to-speech conversion, multilevel forwarding, remote management of endpoints, pre-recorded messages, InformaCast® Compatibility; and mass emergency notification to multiple responders.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing a simple, low-frequency electrodeless discharge system for atmospheric pressure afterglow generation. A single quartz tube through which a gas mixture is passed is extended beyond a concentric electrode positioned thereabout. A grounding rod is placed directly above the tube outlet to permit optical viewing of the discharge between the electrodes.
