Patent number: 9878656Abstract: An emergency system for a vehicle integrates many disparate equipment into single housing, including the power supply for the equipment. In one embodiment of the invention, the emergency system is a light bar. The light bar houses a power source comprising solar cell panels, a Lithium-Ion battery pack and a connection to an external supply such as the vehicle's electrical power. Energy for operating the light bar is provided by one or more of the power sources, depending on operating conditions of the light bar and each of the power sources.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2015Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: Federal Signal CorporationInventors: Paul M. Gergets, Jacek J. Jozwik

Patent number: 8013535Abstract: Lighting apparatus, systems and methods are disclosed. One lighting apparatus includes a light source, a power source in electrical communication with the light source, and a power button arranged to control electrical flow from the power source to the light source. The lighting apparatus also includes a programmable circuit in electrical communication with the power button, where the programmable circuit is programmed to set predetermined flash patterns for illuminating the light source in response to detecting a predetermined sequence of actuations of the power button.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2007Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Assignee: Federal Signal CorporationInventor: Jacek J.

Patent number: 5877681Abstract: A lighting system and method for broadcasting colored lights as emergency warning signals from a light source. A centralized continuous light source is coupled via a fiber optic transmission medium to an external display location such as a lens or the like located on a vehicle. The color and the relative intensity of each color is periodically modulated to alternate between at least two states such that the contrast between these alternating states is perceived by observers to be a flashing source of light with no off-time. The frequency and the duty cycle of the repetition rate of alternating between the states may be further controlled to better draw attention to the light source.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1997Date of Patent: March 2, 1999Assignees: Federal Signal Corporation, General ELectric CompanyInventors: Jerry L. Williams, Dennis J. Hilburger, Jacek J. Jozwik, Kent A. Kekeis, Timothy J. Mazies, Gregory A. Sink, John M. Davenport, Richard L. Hansler, William J. Cassarly

Patent number: 5644291Abstract: A system and method for generating and broadcasting emergency lighting signals wherein the lights are synchronized such that when a first light is energized with a packet of short, rapid bursts, a second light begins to flash before the first light is de-energized. Control circuitry connected to the power source selectively controls the packetized energization of the light sources and includes timing circuitry for periodically energizing a first of the light sources for a first duration and for energizing a second of the light source for a second duration. The second duration overlaps, but is not coincident with the first duration in a repeating pattern such that the first and second sources are periodically energized simultaneously before the first source is de-energized.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 1995Date of Patent: July 1, 1997Assignee: Federal Signal CorporationInventor: Jacek J.
