  • Publication number: 20170039839
    Abstract: An interactive wireless life safety communications system is disclosed. A central coordination server is linked to a first network, over which there is a connection to at least one resident life safety device at a specific location or for specific resident. An alarm signal is generated by the resident life safety device upon detection of an alarm condition and transmitted to the central coordination server. A caregiver communications device is connected to the central coordination server over a second network, and is receptive to an alarm notification that is generated by the central coordination server in response to the alarm signal. The caregiver communications device is also receptive to a caregiver user input, from which an action status response is generated for transmission to the central coordination server.

  • Publication number: 20160312967
    Abstract: A portable light includes an elongate body having a longitudinal axis, a light head coupled to an end of the elongate body, and a handle movable along the elongate body between a first position and a second position. The portable light further includes a collar coupled to the handle for movement with the handle between the first position and the second position, and a plurality of legs pivotably coupled to the collar. The plurality of legs is collapsed against the elongate body when the handle and the collar are in the first position and is expanded apart from the elongate body when the handle and the collar are in the second position. The portable light further includes a biasing member positioned between the collar and the handle to bias the collar away from the handle.

  • Publication number: 20160033336
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for thermal detection. A thermal detection device includes a visual sensor, a thermal sensor (e.g., a thermopile array), a controller, a user interface, a display, and a removable and rechargeable battery pack. The thermal detection device also includes a plurality of additional software and hardware modules configured to perform or execute various functions and operations of the thermal detection device. An output from the visual sensor and an output from the thermal sensor are combined by the controller or the plurality of additional modules to generate a combined image for display on the display.

  • Publication number: 20070210522
    Abstract: Disclosed is a modular, expandable, and portable shooting range system. The system can include one or more shooting modules that mount together to provide different numbers of shooting lanes with various lengths. The shooting modules are pre-engineered with removable panels to permit additional shooting modules to be added on as customer orders. This configuration also permits adding to the length of the shooting range to accommodate firing of different weapons. The shooting range system can further include a control booth which is divided from the shooting lanes. The control booth can be integrally formed with the shooting modules, or can be separate. The control booth can include a module control which allows a person to control lighting, air, and target control systems of the shooting range system, and can further provide a safe location to view the range.
