Publication number: 20230381560Abstract: A method of fire suppression may include injecting a reactive agent into a reaction zone to produce a catalytically active species for fire suppression and conveying the catalytically active species to a fire to catalytically interfere with flame chemistry of the fire. Fire in a fuel tank may be suppressed by injecting the reactive agent into a convective flow of a mixture of fuel and oxidizer in a fuel tank, the reactive agent reacting in the fuel tank to release a species which catalytically interferes with flame chemistry to suppress fire in the fuel tank. Fire at an airplane crash may be suppressed by releasing the reactive agent from the container at the crash site to produce an active species to catalytically interfere with a fire at the crash site.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Peter D. Haaland, Ken Harness

Publication number: 20210397767Abstract: Exemplary systems, apparatus, and methods for evaluating and predicting athletic performance are described. Systems may include a receiver that gathers non-deterministic data on one or more aspects of athletic performance, a deterministic model of the athletic performance, a hybrid processor that creates a conditional probabilistic model from these elements, and a display presenting the evaluated or predicted performance. The system may include sensors affixed to an athlete or their equipment to convey position, acceleration, heart rate, respiration, biomechanical attributes, and detached sensors to record video, audio, and other ambient conditions. Apparatus may include a hybridization processor that communicates the output of conditional probabilistic models directly to athletes, coaches, and trainers using sound, light, or haptic signals, or to spectators using audiovisual enhancements to broadcasts.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Inventors: Peter D.

Patent number: 7886836Abstract: Fires may be detected and suppressed by placing fire detectors proximate natural flow paths from inlets to outlets of a fire zone. The fire detectors may be placed adjacent, and preferably downstream, of regions, along the flow paths, likely to become flame holding regions during fire in the fire zone. The fire may be suppressed, when detected, by catalytic reaction with species released by a reactive fire suppression agent which may be injected into the fire zone, preferably upstream of the potential flame holding regions.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2006Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Eclipse Aerospace, Inc.Inventors: Peter D.
