Techniques for creating, configuring, and employing flow management lights are presented. Such light(s) can comprise or be associated with a flow management component (FMC) that can employ sensors to monitor environmental conditions in a defined area of people or vehicle traffic, and can enhance its function to manage flow and security of the people or vehicle traffic. Such light(s) can be installed in a defined area. FMC can monitor and determine a context associated with the defined area, and can adjust light output or another parameter(s) of one or more lights based on the determined context. Over time, FMC can learn contexts of people or vehicle traffic at various times and adjust operations accordingly for the particular context at a specific time. FMC can control operations of such light(s) in relation to enhancing security and safety of people or traffic, business and sales operations, and other objectives.

The present embodiments relate to managing the operation of devices within a home or other property based upon electrical usage data. With customer knowledge or consent, a home controller may retrieve and analyze electrical usage data corresponding to a device, such as by comparing it to certain threshold data. If the analysis results in a trigger condition, the controller may generate a command, and transmit the command to the device for implementation, allowing modification of device operation to address any issues indicated in the electrical usage data. In some implementations, the controller may notify a home owner/occupant. As a result, faulty devices may be managed prior to their faults causing damage to the device and/or the property, and/or property owners may be timely prompted to investigate, repair, and/or replace a failing device. Insurance discounts may be provided based upon the risk mitigation/prevention functionality.

An emergency lighting system that includes a storage device, an emergency lighting device, an area control device and an external device. The emergency lighting device includes a light, a first controller having a first electronic processor configured to perform a self-diagnostic test, and a first input/output (I/O) device configured to transmit data associated with the self-diagnostic test. The area control device includes a second I/O device configured to receive data associated with the first self-diagnostic test form the first I/O device and transmit the data associated with the self-diagnostic test to the storage device.

The present invention discloses an advance fire and shooting emergency response system where the apparatus allows families and children to get themselves educated, plan and at promptly and intelligently at the time of fire and other emergency situations. The application is based on artificially intelligent algorithms and transmits the user information and location to the respondent server and can also send messages to already enlisted neighbors, family and friends to immediately alert them about emergency and location. The system is also able to send various types of reminders including but not limited to evacuation plans, monthly fire drills, monthly smoke detector check notifications, window check notifications and daily safety facts. It also provides single push button which once pushed by the user can send signals to immediate circle of user and first line responders teams and also allows the option to send message to explain the type of danger child is in. The assembly is easy to install, safe to use and is suitable for all ages.

A universal threat awareness management system for occupant safety has a primary interface device that is positioned with a secured location. The interface device enables an authorized individual to monitor and manage an entire facility for hazardous situations. The system also has audio output devices, visual output devices, and environmental sensors. The audio output devices, visual output devices, and environmental sensors are positioned external to the secured location and enable the authorized individual to monitor and communicate with other people within and around the facility. The system is intended to be used as a campus-wide threat mitigation platform.

A computer device for communicating an emergency notification receives an alarm notification from a detection device. The alarm notification corresponding to an alarm condition sensed by the detection device within a space. The computer device detects an alarm condition location of the alarm condition based on a detection device location of the detection device. The computer device determines an exit location of an exit to avoid the alarm condition that triggered the alarm notification. The computer device determines an egress path within the space to avoid the alarm condition based on the exit location and the alarm condition location. The computer device transmits a plurality of commands to a plurality of notification devices within the space to trigger output of an egress notification in a coordinated pattern to identify the egress path. The plurality of commands trigger audible outputs by the plurality of notification devices.

An emergency illumination apparatus is integrated into a door lock mechanism including a manual release member and a latch which is displaceable between an engaged position with the jamb of an associated exit door, and a disengaged position, enabling opening of the door. The apparatus includes an illumination device including a base member mounted to the door lock mechanism or a surface of the associated exit door and a spaced array of discrete illumination elements extending along at least one axis intersecting with or circumventing the manual release member. A sensor operates to detect an emergency condition such as the presence of excessive heat, smoke, carbon monoxide, noxious gas and the like, and generate an alarm signal in response thereto. An independent power supply is disposed within the emergency door lock illumination apparatus. A controller energized by the power supply activates the illumination device in response to the alarm signal.

A method for controlling remotely controlled displays, such as electronic price tags, of a remotely controlled display system, and a remotely controlled display system including at least one base station and a plurality of remotely controlled displays, such as electronic price tags. The remotely controlled displays are arranged in premises, such as a store, and include a light source, e.g. an LED light source. The system is adapted to provide guidance to people, such as emergency exit guidance, by turning on and/or off the light sources of the remotely controlled displays in a pre-determined manner.

Aspects of the present disclosure include methods, apparatus, and systems for mass notification including receiving the message from an alarm notification device via a link and causing the projector to project the message on a surface using the light patterns.
