  • Publication number: 20240119818
    Abstract: A system for smoke/fire discrimination and identification of the fire source is provided. The system comprises a control unit that is configured to receive data pertaining to gases present in the smoke generated by a burning material and receive data pertaining to temporal characteristics of fire caused by the burning material. The control unit identifies the burning material based on the data pertaining to the one or more gas and the data pertaining to temporal characteristics of fire; and trigger a fire event based on the identified burning material.

  • Patent number: 11366048
    Abstract: A smoke detector (100) for use with an aspiration smoke detector (ASD) is described. The smoke detector includes a light source (104) configured to emit a beam of light (108); a reflector (102) including an aperture (110), the aperture aligned with a direction of propagation of the beam of light when no scattering occurs; and a photodetector (106); the reflector configured to reflect light scattered from the beam of light received at the reflector to a single focal point; and the photodetector located at the single focal point. An aspiration smoke detector (ASD) system (2) includes the smoke detector and a method of detecting smoke using the smoke detector.
