There is herein described an adjustable multi-hole orifice plate in a pneumatic conveying apparatus. More particularly, there is described an adjustable multi-hole orifice plate which can be used in a pneumatic conveying apparatus to assist in the discharge of material.

Adjustable multi-hole orifice in a pneumatic conveying apparatus

A hazard detection system measures a color and intensity of a portion of an image of a scene. The image is obtained using a known gain and/or exposure such that the image substantially lacks any saturation. A black body brightness temperature and the corresponding block body intensity are determined based on the measured color. A hazard condition, such the presence of a flame, can be detected using a comparison of the measured intensity and the computed intensity. The gain and/or exposure can be selected such that only the pixels of intensity greater than a certain threshold generally saturate in the captured image. Hazard conditions, such as smoke, can be detected using images in which selective saturation is permitted.

Flame detection system and method

The invention relates to a switching module for creating and operating secure networks of data sources and monitoring stations, and for providing controlled access to the data sources and monitoring stations from public networks.

IP-closed circuit system and method

The invention relates to systems and methods for providing customized, event-triggered messages in response to emergency events, such as natural disasters and man-made events. The methods and systems provide a set of messages related to responding to the emergency event and a set of rules relating to the distribution of the messages, receive an indication that the emergency event has occurred, and in response to the indication, transmit at least one of the messages to at least one message receiver based at least in part on at least one attribute of the message receiver to at least one of instruct and inform recipients of the messages of the emergency event and the action to be taken in response to the emergency event.
