  • Patent number: 9871830
    Abstract: A determination is made at a server that a network connected device is to control monitoring performed by a first network connected sensor. A first connection is established between the network connected device and the first network connected sensor, the first connection providing control of the first network connected sensor by the network connected device. A context change for the network connected device is determined. A second connection between the network connected device and a second network connected sensor is established, the second connection providing control of the second network connected sensor by the network connected device.

  • Publication number: 20100261398
    Abstract: Provided is a flame resistant drywall installation, especially those designed to meet ASTM E119. The installations comprise the use of fiberglass corespun flame resistant (FR) woven and fiberglass corespun stitchbonded nonwoven fabrics. The preferred forms of the woven and stitchbonded fabric used in this invention include: WOVEN FABRIC: A 3-8 opsy woven fabric consisting of fiberglass corespun yarns as described below. STITCHBONDED FABRIC: A 4-10 nonwoven batting of 100% cotton, 100% rayon, 100% lyocell, cotton/non-FR fiber blends, rayon/non-FR fiber blends or lyocell/non-FR fiber blends stitched with fiberglass corespun yarns as described below. Fiberglass corespun weaving and stitching yarns, for use in the invention, include those known in the textile industry as Alessandra® yarn (U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,146,759; 6,287,690; 6,410,140; 6,606,846; 6,553,749 by McKinnon Land LLC) and Firegard® yarn (by Springs Industries).

  • Publication number: 20070077839
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a flame resistant three-layer double-knit or woven fabric, also know as a matelasse fabric. The top layer is of standard non-flame resistant face yarn, the middle layer is of flame resistant filler yarn and the bottom layer is of flame resistant core wrap spun yarn. This flame resistant matelasse fabric can be used to protect a mattress, foundation, mattress pad, pillow, comforter, upholstery cushion, pillow, office panel, transportation seat or any other article requiring flame resistant protection. In this invention, a matelasse fabric is formed by circular double knitting or weaving a flame resistant core spun yarn into the bottom portion of the fabric, utilizing a heavy cotton count flame resistant filler yarns for the middle layer and using conventional non-flame resistant yarns for the top layer.

  • Publication number: 20060160451
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a flame resistant knit tube, made with either a seamless or seamed circular knit or a seamed or tubular warp knit fabric, used to protect a mattress, foundation, upholstery cushion, pillow, office panel, transportation seat or any other article requiring flame resistant protection. In this invention, a tubular knit fabric is formed utilizing flame resistant yam and then optionally heat-set to prevent curling during subsequent cutting and processing. Heat-setting the knit fabric is especially preferred for circular knit constructions to prevent curling in subsequent processing. The knit tube is then cut to the length of the article to be flame protected, allowing enough additional length to sew a pocket closure on one end and a standard closure on the other end. First, one end of the tubular knit sock is sewn with a pocket closure seam, using a flame resistant thread or a suitable substitute.
