Assembly for an aircraft, the assembly including a pylon and a tank containing an extinguisher fluid
An assembly for an aircraft, the assembly including a pylon with a lateral wall pierced by a window, a tank with a neck blocked by a film and carrying a first anchoring arrangement, and a fixing arrangement for fixing at least a part of the tank bearing the neck inside the pylon, a discharge pipe, and a discharge head. The head includes an explosive cartridge and a hole with a second anchoring arrangement in which discharges the discharge pipe. The discharge head is fixed inside the pylon facing the window. The explosive cartridge is designed to generate in the hole a shockwave sufficient to rupture the film. An assembly of this kind enables simple and rapid removal of the tank from and installation thereof inside the pylon.

ASSEMBLY OF AT LEAST ONE EXTINGUISHING AGENT TANK IN THE INTERIOR OF AN AIRCRAFT STRUT
An assembly of at least one extinguishing agent tank in the interior of an aircraft strut. The strut has an elongate chamber form extending in a longitudinal direction and includes a plurality of ribs which are spaced apart and arranged in parallel along the strut, each extending orthogonally to the longitudinal direction. The ribs are covered by lateral walls, at least one of the walls comprising a window opening into a space between two consecutive ribs, and via which a spherical extinguishing agent tank is installed in the interior of the strut. The assembly of the tank on the strut includes a frame arranged in the interior of the strut, facing the window and secured on each of the two consecutive ribs. The frame forms a support area on which the tank is supported. A system locks the extinguishing agent tank on the frame.
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING FLOODING OF AT LEAST PART OF AN ENERGY STORAGE SPACE
A method performed by a control unit for controlling flooding of at least part of an energy storage space. The energy storage space comprises at least one Energy Storage System, ESS. The control unit detects that a critical condition associated with the at least one ESS is present. When the critical condition has been detected, the control unit initiates flooding of at least part of the energy storage space with a fluid from a reservoir. The control unit controls the flooding of the energy storage space such that the at least one ESS is submersed to a submersion level where the critical condition is no longer present.

STOVE TOP FIRE EXTINGUISHING DEVICE
An apparatus is disclosed for extinguishing a stovetop fire over a stovetop having a first burner, the apparatus including a container detachably mountable to a microwave positioned above the stove top. A supply of fire suppressant material is retained within the container. A heat responsive actuator is disposed on the container. When the container is mounted to the microwave over the first burner, and the fire actuates the heat responsive actuator, at least a portion of the supply of fire suppressant material falls from the container toward the first burner.

Systems and methods for electric outlet fire detection and prevention
An electric outlet fire detection and prevention system may comprise a temperature sensor and an electromagnetic interference (EMI) sensor. A processor within the system may monitor the measurements of the temperature and EMI sensors to determine that a fire has developed in an electric outlet box. The processor may then actuate a triggering mechanism in a cartridge containing fire extinguishing material such that the fire extinguishing material is dispersed in the outlet box. The fire extinguishing material may extinguish a developing fire and prevent the fire from spreading further. The processor may also be coupled with a server, which is configured to analyze measurements of the temperature and the EMI sensors and generate a building profile. When the server determines that any measurements deviate from the building profile, the server may instruct the processor to actuate the triggering mechanism and/or notify an electronic device associated with the building.
CARTRIDGE MONITORING SYSTEM AND COUPLER
A receiver for a fire suppression system includes a receiving portion configured to receive and couple with a corresponding portion of a cartridge. The receiver includes a translatable member configured to engage a corresponding portion of the cartridge and translate in response to insertion of the cartridge. The receiver includes a switch configured to transition between a first state and a second state in response to translation of the translatable member to indicate whether the cartridge is inserted into the receiving portion.
ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM
An energy storage system includes at least one battery rack including at least two battery modules, a container in which the battery rack is received, an air conditioner including an outside heat exchanger configured to cool a heat exchanger medium having a temperature rise in the container, and a circulation path configured to allow the heat exchanger medium to circulate between the container and the outside heat exchanger, a fire extinguishing unit including a fire extinguishing agent tank configured to detect a temperature of the at least one battery module that is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature or smoke that is generated in the at least one battery module and feed the fire extinguishing agent to the battery module, and an air conditioner management unit configured to spray the fire extinguishing agent in the fire extinguishing agent tank onto an outer surface of the outside heat exchanger.
