Abstract: A wall-mountable spray head unit is shown with a display and/or at least one user input device. The wall-mountable spray head unit is shown deployed in a fire suppression system that includes at least one or at least two wall-mounted spray head units capable of aiming and shooting fire suppressant liquid into a fire.

Abstract: A wall-mountable spray head unit (ii) is described. The spray head unit comprises a rotatable spray head assembly (8) which comprises a spray manifold (18) rotatable about a first axis (17), a spray nozzle (19) supported by the spray manifold and orientated to deliver a mist of fire-suppressant material radially in a plane in a plane defined by the first axis and a second axis which is perpendicular to the first axis. The spray head unit includes a sensor (20) and/or an interface (35) for receiving a sensor signal from an external sensor and/or a control signal from an external controller. The rotatable spray head assembly does not support a sensor.

Abstract: A wall-mountable spray head unit (11) is described. The spray head unit includes a rotatable spray head assembly (81, 82; FIG. 9, 83; FIG. 17) which comprises a spray manifold (181, 182; FIG. 9) rotatable about a first axis (17), a spray nozzle (19) supported by the spray manifold and orientated to deliver fire-suppressant material radially in a plane in a plane defined by the first axis and a second axis which is perpendicular to the first axis, and at least one thermal sensor (20).

Abstract: According to the present invention, a convertible footwear apparatus can be worn as a shoe or converted to a boot by attaching or removing an upper section from the shoe. The apparatus is configured to allow someone wearing the shoe component to attach or remove the upper section with a single continuous operation and without having to remove the shoe component from the wearer's foot. In one embodiment of the invention, the apparatus comprises a zipper. In another embodiment of the invention, the shoe component includes a heel.

Abstract: A system is disclosed which is operable to supply fire suppressant material (6) and marker (7) to at least one spray head unit (2) for producing spray having a droplet size less than 1000 ?m. The system may be operable in two modes. The system may be operable in fire suppressing mode to supply fire suppressant material to the one or more spray heads and in marker deployment mode to supply fire suppressant material and marker to the one or more spray heads. In fire suppressing mode, the system supplies the fire suppressant material for a long period of time, for example, a few tens of minutes. In marker deployment mode the system supplies the fire suppressant material and marker to the spray heads for a short period of time, for example, a few tens of seconds.
