  • Fiber-optic based automatic fire-suppression controller
    Publication number: 20050252663
    Abstract: An Electro-mechanical 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 transmitted through the sensor (Fiber Optic strand) is used as a means to urge a spring loaded valve (Firing Valve) against its established position, thus blocking the dispersal of fire suppressing agents. This condition will persist until the sensor (Fiber Optic strand) is damaged by the presence of open flame in close proximity.
