  • Patent number: 8013755
    Abstract: An apparatus configured to integrate with existing fire system strobe/horn plates. The apparatus may be a mass notification plate. Also disclosed are embodiments of a strobe housing configured to mix and/or reflect light emitted from one or more light emitters, such as high intensity LEDs, through a lens. The lens may be configured to produce a mass notification pattern. Further disclosed are embodiments of systems and methods that may be configured to deliver strobe control signals and/or strobe color control signals over a two-wire fire system powerline.

  • Patent number: 7219156
    Abstract: A modular computer system includes at least two processing functional modules each including a processing unit adapted to process data and adapted to input/output data to other functional modules through at least two ports with each port including a plurality of data lines. At least one routing functional module is adapted to route data and adapted to input/output data to other functional modules through at least two ports with each port including a plurality of data lines. At least one input or output functional module is adapted to input or output data and adapted to input/output data to other functional modules through at least one port including a plurality of data lines. Each processing, routing and input or output functional module includes a local controller adapted to control the local operation of the associated functional module, wherein the local controller is adapted to input and output control information over control lines connected to the respective ports of its functional module.
