Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating a radio frequency (FR) waveform scenario file format. The method includes acquiring raw data from at least one source, extracting a radar data from the raw data, parsing a radar profile from the radar data, storing the radar profile, and converting the radar profile to a radio frequency (RF) waveform scenario file format. The method may also include using known radar profiles to provide an approximation of a complete radar profile when the raw data is incomplete.

Abstract: A fire and smoke damper includes a flat-coil spring actuator to rotate the blades included within the damper between the "normally open" position to the "closed" position when a fire or smoke condition occurs. The damper may include one or more blades, using a linkage connector to ensure simultaneous operation of each blade. The flat-coil spring is held under tension by an actuator (such as a fusible link) to maintain the blades in the "normally open" position. Once the spring is released, a pivot arrangement coupled between the spring and the blade(s) functions to quickly rotate the blade(s) into the closed position, thereby blocking the passage of smoke or fire. The blades may include blade seals to ensure a tight seal.
