Advanced misting delivery system, methods, and materials
An embodiment of the present invention includes an advanced adjustable density misting delivery system (AMDS) for detecting and neutralizing a fire. The AMDS includes a bladder containing a fire suppressant material, a pump operatively connected to the bladder via a tube, and a nozzle operatively connected to the pump and the bladder via the tube. The AMDS also includes a controller electrically connected to the pump and a sensor in communication with the controller, where the sensor is configured to detect a parameter that indicates the presence of the fire. The controller is configured to transition the pump from a deactivated state to an activated state when the sensor detects the parameter, such that in the deactivated state the pump does not operate, and in the activated state the pump causes the fire suppressant to flow from the bladder, through the tube, and out the nozzle.
CARTRIDGE MONITORING SYSTEM
A fire suppression system includes a tank configured to contain fire suppressant agent, a cartridge configured to contain pressurized expellant gas, the cartridge including an electrically-conductive section, an actuator coupled to the tank and selectively coupled to the cartridge, and a cartridge monitoring system coupled to the actuator. The actuator is configured to selectively supply the pressurized expellant gas from the cartridge to the tank such that the fire suppressant agent is dispensed from the tank. The cartridge monitoring system includes (a) a first contact and a second contact configured to engage the electrically-conductive section of the cartridge when the cartridge is coupled to the actuator and (b) an electrical interpreter coupled to the first contact and the second contact and configured to determine if the electrically-conductive section of the cartridge is engaging the first contact and the second contact to form a closed circuit.

PROTECTION DEVICE FOR BATTERY, BATTERY, BATTERY PACK, AND VEHICLE
A protection device includes a casing assembly, a sealing film, and a temperature-sensitive actuating piece. A receiving chamber for receiving an inert gas is defined in the casing assembly. One end of the receiving chamber is provided with an opening. The sealing film is disposed at the opening to seal the receiving chamber. The actuating piece is disposed in the receiving chamber, and the actuating piece is provided with a piercing protrusion. When the actuating piece is deformed, the piercing protrusion pierces the sealing film.
VERMICULITE BASED FIRE SUPPRESSION AGENT
A fire suppression agent includes a non-aqueous pressurized fluid medium and vermiculite particles suspended in the fluid medium. The fire suppression agent is capable of suppressing a fire including a combustible metal material.
Squib circuit for fire protection system
A system, apparatus, and method for testing a squib circuit. An electrical signature of the squib circuit is monitored when a test switch in the squib circuit is activated. The electrical signature of the squib circuit is based on characterizing resistors electrically connected to squibs in the squib circuit in which each characterizing resistor in the characterizing resistors has a resistance value. A health of each squib in the squib circuit is determined based on the electrical signature of the squib circuit.
