Problem; To provide an evacuation guidance system which is capable of safely and reliably guiding evacuees in response to the outbreak and spread of a fire.

Solution; An evacuation guidance system is configured from multiple sensor modules 20, network lines 30, guidance indicators 40, and a guidance control device 50. Each sensor module includes multiple input/output port pairs, fire detection sensors, and a data control unit. The multiple input/output port pairs are connected to input/output port pairs of other sensor modules by means of network lines, thereby configuring a mesh-like autonomous network. The data control unit: generates and outputs fire data after adding fire location data; upon receiving fire data, outputs the fire data after adding its own route flag; and stops the output of fire data when the fire data contains its own route flag. Upon identifying the location of the fire outbreak from the fire data, the guidance control device calculates optimum evacuation routes and causes the guidance indicators to turn on/off or flash.

Selected drawing; FIG. 2

The apparatus comprises two identical control devices (11a, 11b) which generate activation commands (24a, 24b) for preventive lights (2a-2e) signalling the progress of a vehicle (1). Each of the control devices (11a, 11b) is provided with driver-operated inhibiting members (17a, 17b, 18) for inhibiting the generation of at least one of said activation commands (24a, 24b) which is to be inhibited. The control devices (11a, 11b) can be used in a complementary fashion from an activation or deactivation of the inhibiting members (17a, 17b, 18) which they respectively include, by distribution between the control devices (11a, 11b) of the activation commands (24a, 24b) which they respectively emit to activate preventive lights (2a-2e) which include at least one piece of preventive equipment (4).

The present invention relates to a portable traffic management system comprising a portable traffic signal assembly; a portable signal assembly; and a control unit in wireless communication with the portable traffic signal assembly and the portable signal assembly. The present invention alleviates one or more of the problems associated with the presently available traffic management systems.

Provided are a screen display control device, a screen display control method, and a program which realize screen display reflecting dynamically changing importance. An object described above is solved by a screen display control device, a screen display control method, and a program in which a plurality of types of data that is input are acquired, importance of each of the plurality of types of data is determined, an arrangement of display of the plurality of types of data on an entire screen is decided based on the importance of each of the plurality of types of data, and the plurality of types of data are displayed on the screen in the decided arrangement.

The current technology relates to an in-line modular indicator assembly. Each of a plurality of in-line modular indicators are configured to be coupled in a series with a first electrical cable and a second electrical cable. The plurality of in-line modular indicators is configured to define an electrically conductive path to transmit electricity from the first electrical cable to the second electrical cable. Each of the in-line modular indicators have detection circuits having alternate configurations and notification devices configured to provide alternate notifications.

Electronic light emitting flares and related methods. Flares of the present invention include various features such as self-synchronization, remote control, motion-actuated or percussion-actuated features, dynamic shifting between side-emitting and top-emitting light emitters in response to changes in positional orientation (e.g., vertical vs. horizontal) of the flare; overrides to cause continued emission from side-emitting or top-emitting light emitters irrespective of changes in the flare's positional orientation; use of the flare(s) for illumination of traffic cones and other hazard marking or traffic safety objects or devices, group on/off features, frequency specificity to facilitate use of separate groups of flares in proximity to one another, selection and changing of flashing patterns and others.

A flight attendant calling device of a passenger aircraft includes at least one calling device control element assigned to a seat of the passenger aircraft for calling flight attendant staff on board the passenger aircraft by a passenger assigned to the seat, a calling device processor configured to create a configuration profile of the at least one calling device control element based on passenger preferences of the passenger of the passenger aircraft assigned to the seat, and a control element configurator, which is coupled to the calling device processor, and which is configured to set up a visual and/or haptic appearance as well as a flight attendant calling functionality of the at least one calling device control element based on the configuration profile received from the calling device processor.

The present disclosure concerns a warning device comprising a warning body having a longitudinal axis and comprising a light-emitting assembly; and a collapsible stand configurable in a compacted configuration and in a warning configuration in which the light-emitting assembly is at least partially visible. The collapsible stand comprises a handle sleeve mounted to and slidable along the warning body and legs pivotably mounted to the handle sleeve, the legs being juxtaposed against the warning body when the collapsible stand is in the compacted configuration to cover the warning body and the legs extending outwardly and downwardly when the collapsible stand is in the warning configuration, the collapsible stand being configurable between the compacted configuration and the warning configuration by sliding the handle sleeve along the warning body. The disclosure also concerns a warning assembly comprising such a warning device and a method of emitting a warning light signal.

An emergency signaling system is disclosed. The system includes a receptacle and a painting device. The painting device is covered in a paint material and stored in the receptacle. The receptacle can be used to launch the painting device onto a surface, such as a roof, in the event that a user needs to signal a search and rescue team or anyone near their present location. The painting device, upon contact with a surface, creates a painted signal. The painted signal can have different shapes according to the shape of the painting device. The painting device can include weight members or flexible frame members to facilitate opening the painting device from a closed or folded configuration to a fully open configuration once the painting device has been launched from the receptacle.
