Patent CA-2583448-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ADKINS CHARLES D
IPC: G08B26/00
Filed: 2005-10-12
Abstract: A method of testing the operational status of remotely distributed hazardous condition detectors is provided. The method utilizes the detector's self-test button to initiate a detector self-test. Once the self-test is complete, the detector's alarm is silenced and a remote self-test signal is sent to the interconnected remote hazardous condition detectors. The remote detectors, on receipt of this signal, will initiate a self-test of their own as if a user had depressed their test button. The user, with the local detector's alarm now silenced, is better able to hear the remotely interconnected detector's alarm.  To verify that the remote self-test signal is received, thus verifying the operational integrity of the communications link, the remote detectors may sound an alarm pattern indicative of the receipt of the signal before initiating their self-test.

Patent CA-2608038-A1 (CA)
Title: Radiant tube heater assembly
Inventor: VANCAK JOHN
IPC: F23D14/22
Filed: 2007-10-17
Abstract: A radiant tube heater includes a housing and a burner tube extending outwardly therefrom for carrying products of combustion from the housing. When less heat is required, unless air from the blower is reduced, there is too much air for complete combustion of the fuel and excess air mixes with combustion gases causing cooling in the burner tube. This problem is solved by providing a short flame tube in the inlet end of the burner tube for receiving the flame. Excess air flow around the flame tube is heated. Thus, it is necessary to reduce only the supply of fuel to the burner.
