  • Fire suppressor cylinders with enhanced bubble production
    Patent number: 8607885
    Abstract: A fire suppression cylinder includes a valve at an outlet of a canister, and a control for the valve. The canister receives a liquid suppressor agent and a pressurized gas. A feature within a portion of the canister will receive the liquid suppressor agent. The feature increases the formation of gas bubbles within the liquid suppressor agent.

  • Sensor apparatus and method therefor
    Patent number: 8534117
    Abstract: A sensor apparatus includes a metal oxide semiconductor (“MOS”) sensor with a gas-sensing surface normally having a first sensitivity to a first species of flammable gas and a second sensitivity to a second, different species of flammable gas. A selective sensitivity-enhancement layer is disposed on the gas-sensing surface such that the first sensitivity becomes increased and the second sensitivity remains substantially unchanged.
