  • Patent number: 9214076
    Abstract: A firefighter's safety apparatus includes a first system located in a firefighter's helmet and a second system located at a central station. The first includes a power source, an ambient temperature sensor for relaying ambient temperature information to a microprocessor, a first on/off light source and a second light source coupled to the microprocessor for emitting a status alarm signal when the temperature sensed is above a preset level. An audible alarm is coupled to the microprocessor for emitting an audio signal when the temperature sensed is above the preset level. A manually operated panic switch causes a transceiver coupled to the microprocessor to send a radio signal to the central station if the firefighter is injured or does not move for a preset time and activates the audio alarm. The second system includes a transceiver, a power source and a microprocessor and a power source electronically coupled.

  • Publication number: 20150199396
    Abstract: A system and method for validating the integrity of a style sheet. A request is received for a style sheet from a web browser. The style sheet is determined based on the request. A marker is placed at an end of the style sheet denoting the end of the style sheet, and the style sheet is sent containing the marker to the web browser. The web browser checks the style sheet for the placed marker.
