Dry sprinkler assemblies for fire protection sprinkler systems
An automatic fire protection sprinkler assembly for fire protection systems that includes a tubular outer housing having an inlet, an outlet opening and an internal shelf proximate the outlet opening. A fluid deflection member is spaced from the outlet opening along a fluid flow path of the assembly. A fluid control assembly is disposed within the outer housing for axial translation from an unactuated state to an actuated state of the sprinkler assembly. The fluid control assembly includes a seal subassembly, a fluid flow tube; and an ejectable support subassembly. The support subassembly includes a projection member. Upon actuation of a thermally responsive trigger, the support subassembly is ejected out the outlet opening such that the projection member comes into contact with the internal shelf of the housing to pivot the support subassembly out of the fluid flow path.

System and method for monitoring and controlling a fire suppression system
A system to mitigate false trips of a valve that supplies water to a piping system in a fire suppression system includes at least one edge device, a control circuit, and at least one user device. The at least one edge device monitors a parameter corresponding to at least one of a corrosion, a presence of water, a differential pressure across the valve, and a temperature in the piping system of the fire suppression system. The control circuit includes one or more processors and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the control circuit to receive an indication of the parameter monitored by the at least one edge device, predict whether a valve tripping event is expected to occur based on the received indication, and in response to predicting that the valve tripping event is expected to occur, provide the prediction that the valve tripping event can occur for remedial action. The at least one user device presents display data regarding the prediction.

Temporary sprinkler method for buildings under construction/renovation
A method of temporarily operating sprinklers and mobile sensors during buildings/facilities alterations, renovations, additions, repairs, rehabilitations, relocations and any other similar activities where personnel may trigger sprinkler systems through accidental actions (or inactions) during their chores. This minimizes the possibility of damages during the building's construction/renovation.

Fire extinguishing system for vehicle
A fire extinguishing system for a vehicle includes a fire detection device outputting a fire detection signal in response to detecting a fire and is installed in a predetermined space of the vehicle. A controller outputs a control signal for spraying fire extinguishing agent when the fire detection signal is received from the fire detection device. An air tank stores compressed air and a fire extinguishing agent cylinder is connected to the air tank through an air hose, is filled with the fire extinguishing agent, and is operated to discharge the fire extinguishing agent by the compressed air, supplied from the air tank through the air hose, by the control signal. A spray nozzle assembly is connected to the fire extinguishing agent cylinder through a fire extinguishing agent hose and sprays the fire extinguishing agent being supplied, from the fire extinguishing agent cylinder, through the fire extinguishing agent hose.
STEEL COATED METAL STRUCTURES AND METHODS OF FABRICATING THE SAME
An elongated hollow component includes a body extending from a first end to a second end and defining a longitudinal axis. The body includes a plurality of layers each circumscribing the longitudinal axis. The plurality of layers includes a base layer including a first steel material, and an inner surface coating coupled to a radially inner surface of the base layer. The inner surface coating includes a second steel material.
Dry sprinkler assembly
A dry sprinkler assembly for fire suppression uses a tube within a pipe element to maintain a spring loaded valve in a closed position at the end of the pipe element connected to a piping network. The tube is held against the biasing force of the valve's spring by a plug, part of a temperature sensitive trigger assembly mounted on the opposite end of the pipe element.
