Abstract: An electric vehicle (EV) charging management system comprises an EV charging system for charging a Li-Ion battery and an automatic mechanism related to charging of a hybrid/electric vehicle (H/EV) to avoid or restrict fires affecting the Li-Ion battery. The automatic mechanism comprises a heat/smoke/gas/particle sensor, a turn-off switch, a processor and a memory storing software (SW) instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the automatic mechanism to detect a fire and shut off charging to H/EV(s). The automatic mechanism further comprises a fire alarm system for protecting a certain zone. The fire alarm system includes different control groups, with a set of causes and effects. The EV charging management system to connect an EV charger to a control group. The EV charging management system can shut down all EV chargers either in a same zone as where the fire is detected, or in an entire building or adjacent buildings or in a parking area.

Abstract: There is described a fire detection/notification system for detecting a weapons discharge comprising a network and a control panel. The network includes multiple wireless devices, and each device includes a fire-related sensor and a first weapons discharge sensor, and a second weapons sensor. The control panel is configured to identify the weapons discharge based on data generated by the first and second weapons discharge sensors and produce an alert signal in response to identifying the weapons discharge. The control panel is connected to the network and includes an output circuit configured to communicate with an emergency responder device external to the fire detection/notification system in response to receiving the alert signal.

Abstract: There is described a fire detection/notification system for detecting a weapons discharge comprising a network and a control panel. The network includes multiple devices, and each device includes a fire-related detection sensor and a weapons discharge sensor. The control panel is configured to identify a fire-related hazard detected by the fire-related detection sensor and produce a first alert signal in response to identifying the fire-related hazard. The control panel is also configured to identify a weapons discharge hazard detected by the weapons discharge sensor and produce a second alert signal in response to identifying the weapons discharge hazard. The control panel is connected to the network and includes an output circuit configured to communicate with one or more emergency responder devices external to the fire detection/notification system in response to receiving the first alert signal, the second alert signal, or both signals.
