Abstract: A deployable fire escape with multiple alternating ramps allows a user to evacuate a building without needing the use of their lower body by walking or climbing. A plurality of alternating ramps are supported by a scissor mechanism that is engaged within guide channels of two fixed guide rails. The scissor mechanism is composed of a number of scissor sections, the number of which depends on the height of the building to be evacuated from. Each of the ramps is made from an upper layer and a lower layer of wide, flexible ramp belts, with the upper belts being staggered with the lower belts. Intermediate platforms allow the user to rest or reorient themselves. The user alternatingly slides down a ramp, pries apart the belts of the ramp, and climbs through the gap in the ramp belts to the next ramp, repeating this process until reaching the ground level.

Abstract: Based on the use of a coolant aqueous liquid, usually brine, maintained at low temperature in a reservoir receptacle, as low as ?20° C. if the brine is of Sodium chloride or as low as ?50° C. if it is of Calcium chloride, applied on the upper surface of the container, positioned horizontally, rotating about its axis, by means of soft jets, during a time which is calculated from the initial and desired temperatures, the temperatures of the cold solution and of the rinsing water and from the temporal coefficient of the packaged beverage, so that the brine glides over its surface drawn by the force of gravity, surrounding it completely through surface tension adherence to the surface of the container located underneath, where it is detached, determining at all times that the brine coats the greater part of the container during the spraying. By substituting the coolant liquid with hot water the rapid heating of packaged beverages is produced.
