  • Fiber-optic based automatic fire-suppression controller
    Patent number: 7591322
    Abstract: An electromechanical device utilizing a fiber-optic based sensor (fiber optic strand) for the purpose of detecting and extinguishing a fire momentarily after ignition. A light signal is transmitted through a loop of fiber optic strand that is used as a means to urge a spring loaded valve (firing valve) against its established position. The normally closed valve blocks the dispersal of a fire suppressing agent. This condition will persist until the strand is damaged by the presence of heat and open flame which is in close proximity.
    Type: Grant
