Abstract: A control system for use with a filter cleaning apparatus. The filter is supported in a housing and has a surface at which particulates are separated from a fluid stream passing through the filter and collected. The control system comprises a header for supplying pressurized fluid to at least one blowpipe to direct a stream of cleaning fluid into the filter to dislodge particulates from the surface of the filter. An actuatable valve is fluidly connected with the header and the blowpipe. Upon actuation, the valve permits pressurized fluid to flow from the header to the blowpipe. A wireless receiver is associated with the valve to actuate the valve upon receiving an actuation signal.

Abstract: Fire extinguishing mixtures, systems and methods are provided. The fire extinguishing mixtures can include one or more extinguishing compounds, such as, for example, one or more of fluorocarbons, fluoroethers, and fluorocarbons. The fire extinguishing mixtures can also include one or more of nitrogen, argon, helium and carbon dioxide. In an exemplary aspect the extinguishing mixture includes an extinguishing compound, a diluent gas and water.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed relating to wireless communications. These systems and techniques involve wireless communications wherein a device may be configured to recover an information signal from a carrier using a reference signal, detect a frequency error in the information signal; and periodically tune the reference signal to reduce the frequency error.
