A modular wall paneling system includes at least two plates. Each plate defines a longitudinal length, and each plate has a plurality of fixture apertures disposed through the plate along the longitudinal length. Each plate has a plurality of panel apertures disposed through plate along the longitudinal length. The plurality of fixture apertures are generally parallel to the plurality of panel apertures. Included are a plurality of panels, each panel having a panel substrate and each panel having at least two hooks disposed on a backside of the panel substrate. Each of the at least two hooks are configured to removably lock into the panel apertures of the at least two plates.

An advance pneumatic detector to indicate pressure changes in an environment includes a switch, a pressure tube, an endcap, a piston, and a magnet. The pressure tube is connected to the switch. The endcap is disposed on an end of the pressure tube opposite from the switch. The piston is disposed within and forms a seal against the pressure tube. The piston is slidably engaged with the pressure tube. The magnet is slidably attached to and surrounds a portion of the pressure tube. The magnet is configured to control the positioning of the piston within the pressure tube.

A pneumatic sensing apparatus for use in an overheat or fire alarm system includes a sensor tube containing a pressurized gas in communication with a pressure sensor configured to sense a temperature variation based on changes of the pressurized gas. A pressure switch is coupled to the pressure sensor. The pressure switch includes a signal transducer configured to provide an output indicative of an overheat or fire alarm condition.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for generating alerts by matching audio signatures from trusted smart devices are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes converting one or more captured audio signals originating from a given area of a given environment to one or more audio signatures, wherein the one or more audio signatures correspond to one or more pre-defined user actions within the given environment; comparing the one or more audio signatures to one or more audio signatures associated with one or more user devices authorized to access the given area of the given environment; generating, based on said comparing, an alert upon a determination that the audio signatures do not exceed a threshold level of similarity with respect to the audio signatures associated with the one or more user devices authorized to access the given area; and outputting the alert to one or more of the user devices authorized to access the given area of the given environment.

There is provided a tamper detection device comprising a laminate; a contact lead attached to the laminate; and a detection module connected to the contact lead. It is advantageous that the laminate is configured to conform to an application surface, and to move the contact lead. A method of installing the device is also disclosed.

We disclose a window blind that includes a security feature. The disclosed window blind includes a plurality of slats, at least one of which includes a hollow core. The hollow core includes at least one pressure sensor, a controller, and a battery. The pressure sensor detects a change in pressure when an adjacent window or door is opened or broken. The controller may be connected to the pressure sensor and to multiple light fixtures and/or audio speakers throughout the building. Program code in the controller may receive instructions which include a defined order in which the controller sends a signal to each of the light fixtures and audio speakers causing them to actuate.

A system to detect movement of doors associated with an area of interest (AOI) is disclosed. The system comprises a pressure sensor positioned at a predefined position within the AOI, wherein the pressure sensor is operable to monitor air pressure within the AOI, and a processing device in communication with the pressure sensor. The processing device comprises one or more processors coupled to a memory storing instructions executable by the processors, and configured to monitor, using the pressure sensor, the air pressure within the AOI in real-time, detect and measure a change in the air pressure within the AOI based on the monitored air pressure, and detect opening or closing of one or more doors associated with the AOI based on the measured change in the air pressure within the AOI.
