     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The invention relates to portable electric, variable-pressure liquid pumps, in general, and to portable electric liquid fire pumps and liquid transfer pumps, battery backup electric power supplies, remote alert monitoring and triggering and area water pressure boosting, in particular. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Changing climatic, weather and building patterns in the United States and around the world have placed many homes and commercial properties in closer proximity to flood and wildfire events (https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-californians-were-drawn-toward-the-fire-zones-1544202053?mod=searchresults&amp;page=1&amp;pos=1). In California alone more than 1 million housing units are at high or very high risk for fire (Jonathan Cooper, AP SDUT C2 Jan. 5, 2018). The increased frequency with which wildfires occur, longer annual fire seasons, a resultant thinning of community fire-fighting resources and official advice to both create “defensible spaces” and “shelter in place” intensifies the need for self-reliance in the event of such emergencies. 
     Recent news footage from Northern and Southern California wildfires feature desperate homeowners using garden hoses to protect their properties. Such low-pressure solutions offer limited potential for defense. Moreover, such close-in tactics place amateur responders in intimate range of danger. Rapid fire spread and possible terrain access limitations (smoke, flooding, landslides, power outages, tree or rock falls) might delay or prevent professional or volunteer emergency personnel access to particular home sites or businesses. 
     While a number of personal portable diesel and gas fueled fire pumps are available for fire suppression and prevention, the nature of their fuel source makes them difficult to use and maintain in a fire situation. Gas and diesel-fueled fire pumps are inherently limited by the size of their fuel tanks, the need to store and access flammable liquids near fire events and the complications associated with water pump priming. Furthermore, starting and regulating an internal combustion engine is a relatively complex process during time-critical events. Patents and products for electrically powered systems are for decidedly industrial or large-scale commercial applications and are of limited portability. 
     Further, some homeowners, offices and industries find themselves facing multiple emergency situations simultaneously, in succession or episodically; needing to counter flooding, fire, loss of electrical power and/or loss of area water pressure. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     Recognized is a need for a product that contains or embodies a fully integrated, portable, user-programmable and remotely triggered platform capable of addressing the variety of emergency situations outlined above. 
     An aspect of the invention is an emergency station that is user-programmable and remotely triggerable platform capable of addressing and monitoring a variety of emergency situations including flood, fire, loss of area water pressure and power outages. The invention will consist of an integrated, battery-powered, portable, variable-pressure electric liquid pump and power system for personal, residential, military, commercial and emergency service application. The entire system will be on a wheeled cart making it portable so that that it can be moved by an able-bodied person. The cart will feature an electric motor to power the platform&#39;s rear wheels to improve its portability. 
     The emergency station has the capability to monitor various wireless frequencies to detect electronic emergency and alert signals which may then trigger alarms (visual and audio), activate various onboard and ancillary electrical equipment and/or begin the Station&#39;s top-off battery charging. The Station can be user configured to enable particular suites of preset and/or user programmable functions. Furthermore, the Emergency station is designed to be remotely controlled through WIFI, radio, satellite, or phone applications. 
     The emergency station provides commercial, civic, industrial, military and emergency service personnel as well as consumers with support in firefighting, fire prevention as well as liquid pumping &amp; transfer (flood mitigation), water system pressure boosting capabilities, and a battery system that may be used as an ongoing or backup home/office power supply. 
     The emergency station is portable, and its primary power source will be rechargeable batteries with additional power options. The emergency station will feature an electric motor to power its platform&#39;s rear wheels and assist in its portability. It will additionally include an electrically powered, variable-pressure liquid pump. 
     Unattended, the emergency station receives emergency alerts from FEMA, NOAA and other local and regional fire, civil defense, police, military and/or local, private or commercial emergency services (for example SDEmergency) to trigger battery charging and/or other user-defined emergency functions (i.e. audible and/or visible alarms, local power supply enhancement, liquid pumping and transfer, local water system pressure augmentation, etc.). The emergency station may be further configured to enable particular suites of preset and/or user-programmable functions. Furthermore, the Emergency station may be remotely triggered and/or controlled by authorized users through WIFI, radio, satellite, or phone signals. 
     The emergency station Central Processing Unit (CPU) provides system power management. The emergency station&#39;s control panel, Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) and displays will provide information including water pressure, remaining battery time and charging status. With user input, the CPU will be able to calculate and display, in minutes or gallons, the emergency station&#39;s remaining supply of liquid resources. The CPU will have the ability to interface, both wirelessly and through onboard USB data ports, with outside emergency service feeds though onboard optional connected devices (i.e. mobile phones, tablets, etc.) to display real-time emergency information including wind speed, weather forecasts and video updates.

This configures the emergency station  100  to monitor outside radio, WIFI, and phone signals whose presence may trigger user preset functions including, but not limited to, topping off of battery charging, activation of pump  120  at user predetermined rates as well as controlling and monitoring onboard AC connectors/outlets  306 . 
     A fourth position  358 , PRIME, will turn on power to all emergency station systems, engage the ultra-capacitor(s)  140  and provide for priming of the pump system  120  by sending preassigned frequency and amperage rates to electric pump motor controller  360 . 
     When the switch is in this position, no electrical power will flow to the AC connectors/outlets  306 . 
     In a fifth position  362 , VARIABLE PRESSURE, will turn on power to all emergency station systems and allow the user to manually control the liquid pressure from low to high by sending various currents and frequency rates to the electric pump motor controller  360 . When the switch is in this position, no electrical power will flow to the AC connectors/outlets  306 . A feedback circuit from pump valves  364  will not allow pressure to exceed 80 PSI when either low-pressure hose coupling adapters  366  are detected. An accompanying display  368  will indicate liquid pressure (in pounds per square inch) and flow (in gallons per minute). 
     The emergency station  100  may also be activated manually or remotely by phone, radio, satellite, or WIFI signal to perform assorted user-defined tasks. The emergency station  100  may initiate real-time wired and/or wireless signaling to owner, home or business automation systems, emergency services, insurance company or alarm company interfaces to continuously update data on status of emergency. The emergency station  100  may also enable ongoing, two-way communication with owner or designees to monitor and/or control station activities.

Still further, the emergency station  100  may also transmit wired signals to the user determined outboard equipment  369  to activate user pre-selected functions. 
     In addition, the emergency station  100  may be user programmed and configured to connect with optional tablet, phone and/or computers wirelessly or through USB ports  370  to link with optional applications which can supply geolocation and telemetry status, amongst others. Cradles  372  to physically support optional phones or tablets will be located above the user control and display panel  290 . 
     In the event of a fire or flood situation, the emergency station  100  may be deployed to transfer liquid at variable rates and pressures. In addition, the emergency station  100  may provide AC power supply, emergency monitoring and user defined feature activation for flood mitigation. 
     A rotating switch  374  will be assigned to monitor assorted emergency and broadcast bands which can be fine-tuned to specific frequencies to monitor real-time notifications and updates. The system&#39;s receiver will simultaneously monitor via telescoping antenna  376 , internal antennas, and/or an external coax connector  378  and antenna to detect various emergency signals (FEMA, NOAA, Military, local emergency frequencies, broadcasters, private networks, commercial networks, etc.) and trigger assorted user-defined tasks (to fully charge onboard batteries, activate onboard or ancillary visual and/or sonic/audible alarms, power onboard AC outlets, etc.). A display  379  displays information related to the monitored emergency and broadcast band(s). During an emergency, an onboard speaker  380  may provide audio alerts and monitoring from various emergency agencies (FEMA, NOAA, etc.) as well as local television and radio stations. An audible alarm reset (e.g., LED and push switch)  381  resets the audible alarm  300 . A speaker volume and on/off control  382  will regulate its output or amplify audio from optionally connected phone or tablet devices. A tune control  383  is used to tune frequency of the monitored emergency and broadcast band(s). 
     A plurality of LED lights  384  (e.g., six LED lights) indicate which of the alert signals triggered the emergency station. A seventh button  386  in this array will allow the user to reset these indicators. 
     A plurality of the USB outlets  370  (e.g., three USB outlets) are mounted on the user control and display panel  290  to provide power and data transfer between the station and other assorted user-supplied equipment such as mobile phones, computers and tablets. Such optional equipment offers users setup support, additional displays and control options and an interface for system software and firmware updates. 
     One or more indicator(s)  390  display the charge status of the one or more rechargeable batteries including the percentage of charge and the remaining running time (in minutes) for each battery  130  based on real-time current draw. One or more indicator(s)  391  display the status of the AC outlets  306 . Additionally, an LED indicator/recharge switch  392  indicates the charge status of the ultra-capacitor(s)  140 . 
     5. Emergency Station Liquid Pump System Features 
     With reference additionally to  FIG.  5   , the emergency station&#39;s hydraulic and electro-mechanical systems  400  will be described. 
     The electric pump/compressor/pressurizer  120  includes a variable speed electric motor  402 , an impeller  404 , and a diffuser  406 . 
     The system  400  connects at an intake coupler  408  (e.g., 2 inch intake coupler) to a supplied suction hose  150  (e.g., twenty foot 2-3 inch diameter camlock suction hose) with a filter valve/strainer  160 . The system  400  is compatible with standard firehose/linkages  170  and stream or spray nozzle  180  for connection at discharge coupler  410  (e.g., 2″ discharge coupler). The system  400  may also connect to supplied standard fire hose  170  with standard 2″ coupling  414  to be used for liquid intake and discharge in the event of flooding. 
     The system  400  may also be connected to supplied reinforced ⅝″ diameter hoses  416 ,  418  via coupling adapters  366  which, at low pressure (30-80 psi), can be placed in-line with a user modified area plumbing or sprinkler systems to boost or provide closed system area water pressure or pressure augmentation. For example, as shown in  FIG.  1   , the hose  418  may connect the emergency station  100  to one or more high or low power pressure rooftop (e.g., portable or fixed) sprinklers/systems  303  disposed on a rooftop of a structure (e.g., house, building) that are operated to disperse water (or other liquid) to prevent/put out fire. The hose  418  may also connect the emergency station  100  to one or more high or low pressure ground (e.g., portable or fixed) sprinklers/systems  305  disposed in the ground that are operated to disperse water (or other liquid) to prevent/put out fire. The ⅝″ hose  416 ,  418  is connected to the pump&#39;s intake and/or discharge coupler(s)  408 ,  410  via detachable coupling adapter (⅝″-2″)  366 . When either coupling adapter  366  is detected by the CPU  320 , a feedback circuit will prevent the liquid pump  120  from operating at pressures higher than 80 psi. In this mode, the station  100  may additionally function as a power washer. 
     The emergency station&#39;s hydraulic and electro-mechanical systems  400  include one or more of the following features:
         Electric Powered Centrifugal Motor; self-priming with backflow check valve,   Ability to Create Variable Pressure (nominally 30-200 pounds per square inch),   Ability to Create Variable Flow (between 50-500 gallons per minute),   1, 1.5 or 2-inch discharge fitting to standard fire hose or other,   2-3″ suction inlet fitting to cam lock “quick connect” suction hose,   Pump Overhead Lift of up to 100 feet pump to destination at high pressure,   Ability to charge a Fire Hose Rated length of up to 200 feet at high pressure,   Pump Suction Head can draft water source up to 25 feet to pump at high pressure,   Ability to transfer water &amp; liquids such as gels or foams at fire-fighting hose speeds and pressures,   Liquid pressure detection feature to automatically shut off pump system when liquid supply is exhausted.       

     The station  100  may be stationary or moved from place to place to optimize liquid sourcing and/or transfer for firefighting, water pressure support, flood mitigation or power supply needs. The station  100  may be used to pre-treat structures or vegetation with liquid and/or foams and retardants to delay fire spread. The station  100  may also be used to actively fight fire spread. 
     Potential liquid sources for the station  100  include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following:
         Home Pool,   Well,   Cistern,   Reservoir or Lake,   Water Storage Tank,   Hydrant or other Public Water Source,   Fire Suppression Gels &amp; Foams,   Flooded or water compromised and/or damaged locations.       

     Potential liquid destinations for the station  100  include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following:

     With reference to  FIG.  6   , an example infrastructure, in which one or more of the processes described herein, may be implemented, according to an embodiment, will be described, and, with reference to  FIG.  7   , an example processing system, by which one or more of the processed described herein, may be executed, according to an embodiment, will be described. 
     For example, but not by way of limitation, the example infrastructure and/or example processing system may be used with respect to the monitoring and detecting various emergency signals (FEMA, NOAA, Military, local emergency frequencies, broadcasters, private networks, commercial networks, etc.) and trigger assorted user-defined tasks (to fully charge onboard batteries, activate onboard or ancillary visual and/or sonic/audible alarms, power onboard AC outlets, etc.). Further, the example processing system may be used in conjunction with control and/or operation of the various systems shown and/or described herein. Further, but not by way of limitation, the processing system may be used to manage the unit&#39;s power supplies; identifying, switching and engaging between AC sources and batteries; recharging drained batteries when connected to an AC power source and/or switching between individual batteries when their respective charges are depleted. The processing system and its components are rated to military and/or high stress (water-proof, high heat and shock resistant standards). Further, the example infrastructure and/or example processing system includes multiple emergency stations  100  wirelessly connected to form a useful data and mitigation network. Still further, the example infrastructure and/or example processing system enables continuous monitoring of radio, WIFI, G5, satellite, and blue tooth signals to modify protocols and responses using machine learning, AI and IOT in combination with optional outboard sensors and remote user input. As governmental, military, commercial, private and insurance company wireless emergency signals are further refined, command activities from the emergency station  100  are made more specific. Using AI, machine learning and IOT, the station&#39;s processor(s)  320 ,  610  continuously monitor verify, authenticate and correct incoming signals in order to modify, error correct and update station actions and protocols. Still further, the example infrastructure and/or example processing system enables the emergency station  100  to transmit signals wirelessly to user determined outboard equipment  369  ( FIG.  3 B ) via WIFI, G5, RF, satellite, etc. to activate user pre-selected functions. The activated user pre-selected functions may be automatically activated/triggered as a user-defined task upon detection of the various emergency signals (FEMA, NOAA, Military, local emergency frequencies, broadcasters, private networks, commercial networks, etc.). 
     System Overview 
     Infrastructure 
       FIG.  6    illustrates an example system  500  that may be used, for example, but not by way of limitation, for monitoring and detecting various emergency signals and triggering assorted user-defined tasks, according to an embodiment. The infrastructure may comprise a platform  510  (e.g., one or more servers) which hosts and/or executes one or more of the various functions, processes, methods, and/or software modules described herein. Platform  510  may comprise dedicated servers, or may instead comprise cloud instances, which utilize shared resources of one or more servers. These servers or cloud instances may be collocated and/or geographically distributed. Platform  510  may also comprise or be communicatively connected to a server application  512  and/or one or more databases  514 . In addition, platform  510  may be communicatively connected to one or more user systems  530  via one or more networks  520 . Platform  510  may also be communicatively connected to one or more external systems  540  (e.g., other platforms, websites, etc.) via one or more networks  520 . 
     Network(s)  520  may comprise the Internet, and platform  510  may communicate with user system(s)  530  through the Internet using standard transmission protocols, such as HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), HTTP Secure (HTTPS), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), FTP Secure (FTPS), Secure Shell FTP (SFTP), and the like, as well as proprietary protocols. While platform  110  is illustrated as being connected to various systems through a single set of network(s)  520 , it should be understood that platform  510  may be connected to the various systems via different sets of one or more networks. For example, platform  510  may be connected to a subset of user systems  530  and/or external systems  540  via the Internet, but may be connected to one or more other user systems  530  and/or external systems  540  via an intranet. Furthermore, while only a few user systems  130  and external systems  540 , one server application  512 , and one set of database(s)  514  are illustrated, it should be understood that the infrastructure may comprise any number of user systems, external systems, server applications, and databases. 
     User system(s)  530  may comprise any type or types of computing devices capable of wired and/or wireless communication, including without limitation, desktop computers, laptop computers, tablet computers, smart phones or other mobile phones, servers, game consoles, televisions, set-top boxes, electronic kiosks, point-of-sale terminals, Automated Teller Machines, and/or the like. 
     Platform  510  may comprise web servers which host one or more websites and/or web services. In embodiments in which a website is provided, the website may comprise a graphical user interface, including, for example, one or more screens (e.g., webpages) generated in HyperText Markup Language (HTML) or other language. Platform  510  transmits or serves one or more screens of the graphical user interface in response to requests from user system(s)  530 . In some embodiments, these screens may be served in the form of a wizard, in which case two or more screens may be served in a sequential manner, and one or more of the sequential screens may depend on an interaction of the user or user system  530  with one or more preceding screens. The requests to platform  510  and the responses from platform  510 , including the screens of the graphical user interface, may both be communicated through network(s)  520 , which may include the Internet, using standard communication protocols (e.g., HTTP, HTTPS, etc.). These screens (e.g., webpages) may comprise a combination of content and elements, such as text, images, videos, animations, references (e.g., hyperlinks), frames, inputs (e.g., textboxes, text areas, checkboxes, radio buttons, drop-down menus, buttons, forms, etc.), scripts (e.g., JavaScript), and the like, including elements comprising or derived from data stored in one or more databases (e.g., database(s)  514 ) that are locally and/or remotely accessible to platform  510 . Platform  510  may also respond to other requests from user system(s)  530 . 
     Platform  510  may further comprise, be communicatively coupled with, or otherwise have access to one or more database(s)  514 . For example, platform  510  may comprise one or more database servers which manage one or more databases  514 . A user system  530  or server application  512  executing on platform  510  may submit data (e.g., user data, form data, etc.) to be stored in database(s)  514 , and/or request access to data stored in database(s)  514 . Any suitable database may be utilized, including without limitation MySQL™, Oracle™, IBM™, Microsoft SQL™, Access™, and the like, including cloud-based databases and proprietary databases. Data may be sent to platform  510 , for instance, using the well-known POST request supported by HTTP, via FTP, and/or the like. This data, as well as other requests, may be handled, for example, by server-side web technology, such as a servlet or other software module (e.g., comprised in server application  512 ), executed by platform  510 . 
     In embodiments in which a web service is provided, platform  510  may receive requests from external system(s)  540 , and provide responses in eXtensible Markup Language (XML), JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), and/or any other suitable or desired format. In such embodiments, platform  510  may provide an application programming interface (API) which defines the manner in which user system(s)  530  and/or external system(s)  540  may interact with the web service. Thus, user system(s)  530  and/or external system(s)  540  (which may themselves be servers), can define their own user interfaces, and rely on the web service to implement or otherwise provide the backend processes, methods, functionality, storage, and/or the like, described herein. For example, in such an embodiment, a client application  532  executing on one or more user system(s)  530  may interact with a server application  512  executing on platform  510  to execute one or more or a portion of one or more of the various functions, processes, methods, and/or software modules described herein. Client application  532  may be “thin,” in which case processing is primarily carried out server-side by server application  512  on platform  510 . A basic example of a thin client application is a browser application, which simply requests, receives, and renders webpages at user system(s)  530 , while the server application on platform  510  is responsible for generating the webpages and managing database functions. Alternatively, the client application may be “thick,” in which case processing is primarily carried out client-side by user system(s)  530 . It should be understood that client application  532  may perform an amount of processing, relative to server application  512  on platform  510 , at any point along this spectrum between “thin” and “thick,” depending on the design goals of the particular implementation. In any case, the application described herein, which may wholly reside on either platform  510  (e.g., in which case server application  512  performs all processing) or user system(s)  530  (e.g., in which case client application  532  performs all processing) or be distributed between platform  510  and user system(s)  530  (e.g., in which case server application  512  and client application  532  both perform processing), can comprise one or more executable software modules that implement one or more of the functions, processes, or methods of the application described herein.

     Software and data transferred via communication interface  640  are generally in the form of electrical communication signals  655 . These signals  655  may be provided to communication interface  640  via a communication channel  650 . In an embodiment, communication channel  650  may be a wired or wireless network (e.g., network(s)  520 ), or any variety of other communication links. Communication channel  650  carries signals  655  and can be implemented using a variety of wired or wireless communication means including wire or cable, fiber optics, conventional phone line, cellular phone link, wireless data communication link, radio frequency (“RF”) link, or infrared link, satellite link, just to name a few.

In the receive path, received RF and/or Satellite signals can be coupled from a multiplexor to a low noise amplifier (not shown) that amplifies the received RF and/or Satellite signal and sends the amplified signal to radio/satellite system  665 . 
     In an alternative embodiment, radio system  665  may comprise one or more radios that are configured to communicate over various frequencies. In an embodiment, radio system  665  may combine a demodulator (not shown) and modulator (not shown) in one integrated circuit (IC). The demodulator and modulator can also be separate components. In the incoming path, the demodulator strips away the RF carrier signal leaving a baseband receive audio signal, which is sent from radio system  665  to baseband system  660 . 
     If the received signal contains audio information, then baseband system  660  decodes the signal and converts it to an analog signal. Then the signal is amplified and sent to a speaker. Baseband system  660  also receives analog audio signals from a microphone. These analog audio signals are converted to digital signals and encoded by baseband system  660 . Baseband system  660  also encodes the digital signals for transmission and generates a baseband transmit audio signal that is routed to the modulator portion of radio system  665 . The modulator mixes the baseband transmit audio signal with an RF carrier signal, generating an RF transmit signal that is routed to antenna system  670  and may pass through a power amplifier (not shown). The power amplifier amplifies the RF transmit signal and routes it to antenna system  670 , where the signal is switched to the antenna port for transmission. 
     Baseband system  660  is also communicatively coupled with processor  610 , which may be a central processing unit (CPU). Processor  210  has access to data storage areas  615  and  620 . Processor  610  is preferably configured to execute instructions (i.e., computer programs, such as the disclosed application, or software modules) that can be stored in main memory  615  or secondary memory  620 . Computer programs can also be received from baseband processor  660  and stored in main memory  610  or in secondary memory  620 , or executed upon receipt. Such computer programs, when executed, enable system  600  to perform the various functions of the disclosed embodiments.

Whether such functionality is implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system. Skilled persons can implement the described functionality in varying ways for each particular application, but such implementation decisions should not be interpreted as causing a departure from the scope of the invention. In addition, the grouping of functions within a component, block, module, circuit, or step is for ease of description.

     Flood Control 
     With reference to  FIG.  9   , an exemplary application process  810  for using the emergency station  100  is for flood control. The emergency station  100  utilizes the fire suppression accessories to mitigate flooding (i.e., suction hose  150 ,  170 ,  416  and fire house  140  to remove liquid from flooded area). The suction hose  150 ,  170 ,  416  normally used as an inlet hose for fire suppression is used similar to a vacuum hose.

     At step  900 , when complete, pump  120  is turned off by rotating switch  314  to the “Off” position  352 . The emergency station  100  may be wheeled back to storage location and turned off. 
     Water Pressure Support and Augmentation 
     With reference to  FIG.  10   , an exemplary application process  910  for using the emergency station  100  is for using the variable speed capability of the liquid transfer pump  120  to boost water pressure of a residence or other facility, in the event of pressure loss. The emergency station  100  also has the ability to automatically sense loss of home water pressure and activate the home pressure boosting feature. For homes with existing booster pumps, the emergency station  100  provide electricity back-up during a power failure (see “Auxiliary Power” feature below). Residential water code stipulates potable water supply pressure to be between 30 psi (minimum) and 80 psi (maximum). Pressure regulators are typically preset to 50 psi from the factory. In the event pressure is reduced/lost (i.e. municipal booster station power loss, fire event, etc.), the emergency station  100  may serve as a “booster pump” to increase water pressure back to desired level. 
     At step  920 , the emergency station  100  is powered on via the UI/user control and display panel  290 . 
     At step  930 , a “Water Pressure Augmentation” option, automatic option, or fifth position  362 , VARIABLE PRESSURE, is selected from the UI/user control and display panel  290 . In the fifth position  362 , power to all emergency station systems is turned on and the user manually controls the liquid pressure from low to high via the rotating switch  314 , sending various currents and frequency rates to the electric pump motor controller  360 . 
     At step  940 , if required, the emergency station  100  is disconnected from power source (e.g., AC power source). 
     At step  950 , the emergency station  100  is manually wheeled, which may include actuating the electric motor  112  for the wheels  114 , to a desired pressure augmentation location. 
     At step  960 , the relevant hoses  150 ,  170 ,  416 ,  418  are removed from storage cradle and connected to suction port or intake coupler  408  and to discharge coupler  410 . 
     At step  970 , the bypass valves are twisted to direct water flow to the emergency station  100 . 
     At step  980 , pumping is initiated from UI/user control and display panel  290  from selected desired pressure (e.g., Highest Pressure), with the UI/user control and display panel  290  continually showing state of charge and time remaining on existing charge based on current usage. UI/user control and display panel  290  to continually show state of charge and time remaining on existing charge based on current usage. 
     At step  990 , when complete, pump  120  is turned off by rotating switch  314  to the “Off” position  352 . The emergency station  100  may be wheeled back to storage location and turned off. 
     Auxiliary Power 
     With reference to  FIG.  11   , an exemplary application process  1000  for using the emergency station  100  is for providing self-contained power for emergency situations, via battery energy storage. The emergency station provides auxiliary power via 120 and/or 240 volt electrical outlets  306  fed by battery storage. 
     At step  1010 , the emergency station  100  is powered on via the UI/user control and display panel  290 . 
     At step  1020 , an “Auxiliary Power” or “ON” second switch position  354  is selected from the UI/user control and display panel  290 . In the second switch position  354 , power is supplied to onboard AC connectors/outlets  306 , drive wheel electric motor  112 , and user control and display panel  290 . 
     At step  1030 , if required, the emergency station  100  is disconnected from power source (e.g., AC power source). 
     At step  1040 , the emergency station  100  is manually wheeled, which may include actuating the electric motor  112  for the wheels  114 , to a desired location where emergency power supply is required. 
     At step  1050 , desired accessories are plugged into the electrical outlets  306 . 
     At step  1060 , the accessories are powered up as needed with the UI/user control and display panel  290  showing the state of charge and time remaining on existing charge based on current usage at display  390 . 
     At step  1070 , when complete, the emergency station  100  is turned off by rotating switch  314  to the “Off” position  352 . The emergency station  100  may be wheeled back to storage location and turned off. 
     Remote Activation and Detection 
     With reference to  FIG.  12   , an exemplary application process  1100  for using the emergency station  100  is for continually monitoring wireless, radio, and/or satellite emergency broadcasting and performing automatic functions if alerted. Automatic functions performed include, but are not limited to, sounding of the onboard or ancillary audible alarm  300 , actuating the onboard or ancillary visual warning alarm/strobe/flash light  298 , initiate full battery charging in anticipation of heavy usage, energize the auxiliary electrical outlets  306 , and/or execute any user specific pre-programmed macros. 
     At step  1110 , the emergency station  100  is powered on via the UI/user control and display panel  290 . 
     At step  1120 , a “Standby” or “Stby” third switch position  356  is selected from the UI/user control and display panel  290 . 
     In the third switch position  356 , at step  1130 , the emergency station  100  monitors outside radio, WIFI, and/or phone signals. 
     At step  1140 , the CPU  320  determines whether the monitored signal(s) meet predetermined criteria. If no, then control passes back to step  1130 . If yes, then control passes on to step  1150 . 
     At step  1150 , the CPU  320  triggers one or more of the following user preset functions: sounding of the onboard or ancillary audible alarm  300 , actuating the onboard or ancillary visual warning alarm/strobe/flash light  298 , initiating full charging of the one or more rechargeable batteries  130  in anticipation of heavy usage, energizing the auxiliary electrical outlets  306 , and/or executing any user specific pre-programmed macros. 
     In a further implementation, the exemplary application process  1100  and the emergency station  100  may monitor for and alert user and/or trigger one or more of the above/below preset functions for a variety of emergencies such as, but not limited to, home fire, wild fire, earthquake, tornado, hurricane/typhoon, power outage and/or disruption, freezes, severe thunderstorm, flash flooding, tsunami. 
     In a still further implementation, the exemplary application process  1100  and the emergency station  100  continuously monitor radio, WIFI, G5, satellite, and blue tooth signals to modify protocols and responses using machine learning, AI and IOT in combination with optional outboard sensors and remote user input. As governmental, military, commercial, private and insurance company wireless emergency signals are further refined, command activities from the emergency station  100  are made more specific. Using AI, machine learning and IOT, the station&#39;s processor(s)  320 ,  610  continuously monitor verify, authenticate and correct incoming signals in order to modify, error correct and update station actions and protocols. 
     In a still further implementation, the exemplary application process  1100  and the emergency station  100  transmit signals wirelessly to user determined outboard equipment  369  ( FIG.  3 B ) via WIFI, G5, RF, satellite, etc. to activate user pre-selected functions. The activated user pre-selected functions may be automatically activated/triggered as a user-defined task upon detection of the various emergency signals (FEMA, NOAA, Military, local emergency frequencies, broadcasters, private networks, commercial networks, etc.). 
     Satellite Communication System 
       FIG.  13    is graphical depiction of an embodiment of satellite communications between a plurality of ground stations. A communication system (“system”)  2100  depicts a plurality of ground stations  2102 ,  2104 ,  2106  communicating with one another via a satellite  21210 . In some embodiments, the communication system  2100  may comprise more than three ground stations  2102 ,  2104 ,  2106  and more than one satellite  2110 . One or more of the more than three ground stations  2102 ,  2104 ,  2106  may be/include the emergency station  100 , which for example, as described above, may be remotely triggered and/or controlled (e.g., remotely) by authorized users through satellite signals and/or enable continuous monitoring of satellite signals to perform automatic functions and/or modify protocols and responses using machine learning, AI and IOT, which may be in combination with optional outboard sensors and remote user input. 
     Some systems may depend upon local copies of the outgoing signals for echo cancelation for interference reduction. In some systems a balanced approach to point-to-point or point-to-multipoint satellite communications may require certain signal processing at both ends of a communications link (e.g., a transmitter-receiver pair). In other systems another, an unbalanced approach may require signal processing only at one site. The communication system  2100  of  FIG.  13    is an example of an unbalanced approach in which the ground station  2106  does not have a local copy of transmitted signals, as described below. 
     The ground station  2102  may transmit a signal  2122  (T 1 ) to the satellite  2110  that is then relayed to the ground stations  2104 ,  2106 . The ground station  2104  may transmit a signal  2124  (T 2 ) to the satellite  2110  that is relayed to the ground station  2102  and the ground station  2106 . The ground station  2102  may receive the signal  2124  (T 2 ) and an echo of its own transmitted signal  2122  (T 1 ) as a composite signal  2134  (shown as, S 1 +S 2 ). Similarly, the ground station  2104  may receive the signal  2122  (T 1 ) and an echo of its own transmitted signal  2124  (T 2 ) as a composite signal  2132  (shown as, S 1 +S 2 ). As used in  FIG.  13   , the “T” indicates a transmitted signal while the “S” indicates a corresponding signal received at one or more of the ground stations  2102 ,  2104 ,  2106 . The “S 1 ” and “S 2 ” may also refer to constituent signals of a composite signal (e.g., the composite signals  2132 ,  2134 ,  2136 ). 
     In some embodiments, both of the ground stations  2102 ,  2104  may have a local copy of the transmitted signals  2122 ,  2124  to use in echo cancellation. In some cases, the removal of the self-interfering transmitted signal is accomplished using a process such as echo cancellation. In such an embodiment, the “echo” may be provided by sampling the transmit signal  2122 ,  2124 , processing this signal through a delay line (not shown), matching phase and gain of the incoming composite signal  2132 ,  2134  and cancelling the transmitted signal within the downlink signal to extract the additional signal within the processed frequency space. The echo cancelation may provide certain levels of interference reduction within the communication system  2100  such that they may be able to receive and successfully demodulate the signal  2122  and the signal  2124  respectively. 
     The ground station  2106  on the other hand does not transmit a signal of its own and thus may not have any significant echo cancelation capabilities for reception and processing of the signal  2122  (S 1 ) and the signal  2124  (S 2 ). The signal  2122  (S 1 ) and the signal  2124  (S 2 ) together, as received by the ground station  2106 , is designated composite signal  2136 . The composite signal  2136  may be similar to the composite signal  2132  and the composite signal  2134 , being a combination of two signals, S 1 +S 2 . In some embodiments, either or both of the signal  2122  and the signal  2124  can be signals of interest for the ground station  2106 . 
     The composite signal  2136  may however be subject to different forms and levels of interference due to different operating environments. In some embodiments the composite signals  2132 ,  2134 ,  2136  may further include varying amounts of interference in addition to echo interference. In other embodiments, the one or more signals  2122 ,  2124  found within the composite signals  2132 ,  2134 ,  2136  may also be referred to herein as constituent signals. Two modulated signals transmitted together may also be considered an additional modulation. Thus, for example, the signal  2122  and the signal  2124  may be referred to as constituent signals of the composite signal  2136 . 
     In some embodiments, a signal of interest (e.g., the signal  2122  or the signal  2124 ) can be characterized can be canceled from the composite signal  2136 , for example, leaving a noise floor. The noise floor as used herein may generally refer to the measure of the signal created or regenerated from the sum of all the noise sources and unwanted signals within a measurement system, where noise is defined as any signal other than the one being monitored. The noise floor can describe a residual signal or remaining noise after the signal of interest (e.g., the signal  2122 ,  2124 ) is removed from the composite signal  2136 . 
     In some embodiments, the noise floor may not be characterized. Accordingly, the canceling signal that has been created can be combined in a feed-forward loop with a copy of the composite signal, while compensating for frequency and amplitude variations, to reduce the noise floor. This may result in a higher signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio for the signal of interest. This can increase the potential data throughput of the signal by allowing the use of higher-order modulation schemes, and thus increase the throughput of the entire satellite  2110 . 
     In some embodiments, in order to maximize the use of the available frequency spectra, the signal  2122  and the signal  2124  may use the same or similar bandwidth. In some embodiments, the signal  2122  and the signal  2124  may have the same amplitude. In some other embodiments, the signal  2122  and the signal  2124  may differ slightly in one or more of bandwidth, phase, and amplitude. Accordingly, the ground stations  2102 ,  2104  may accidentally or intentionally utilize similar frequencies, bandwidths, and power levels (e.g., amplitude) to transmit their respective signals (T 1 , T 2 ) for example, the signal  2122  and the signal  2124 . Thus, the ground station  2106  may receive the signal  2122  and the signal  2124  having a significant or complete frequency overlap between the received signals. In some embodiments, there may be more than two overlapped signals. The overlap of two or more signals of interest may present the ground station  2106  with certain problems requiring separation and parsing of overlapped and possibly interfering signals, for example the signal  2122 , and the signal  2124 . 
     Modulation as described herein may include, but not be limited to analog or digital modulation. Some of the modulation schemes referenced herein can include but not be limited to quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), phase shift keying (PSK), binary PSK (BPSK), quadrature PSK (QPSK), differential PSK (DPSK), differential QPSK (DQPSK), amplitude and phase shift keying (APSK), offset QPSK (OQPSK), amplitude shift keying (ASK), minimum-shift keying (MSK), Gaussian MSK (GMSK) among other types of modulation, time division multiple access (TDMA), code division multiple access (CDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), and continuous phase modulation (CPM). Certain modulation types such as for example QAM and APSK may also differ in modulus, for example, 4QAM, 8QAM, and 16APSK, to name a few.

In such an embodiment, the communication device  2200  may be implemented as the ground station  2106  and configured to receive and parse or separate the composite signal  2136  into its constituent signals (e.g., the signal  2122  and the signal  2124 ). For example, the processor  2204  may be configured to determine the frequency, bandwidth, modulation type, shaping factor, and symbol trajectory, among other transmission characteristics in order to recreate or regenerate the signals  2122 ,  2124 . The processor  2204  may implement various processes or methods in certain signal separation and interference reduction modules (“modules”)  2202  to effect such determinations.

     The communication device  2200  may also include a housing  2208  that may include a transmitter  2210  and a receiver  2212  to allow transmission and reception of data between the communication device  2200  and a remote location. For example, such communications may occur between the ground stations  2102 ,  2104 ,  2106 . The transmitter  2210  and receiver  2212  may be combined into a transceiver  2214 . An antenna  2216  may be attached to the housing  2208  and electrically coupled to the transceiver  2214 , or to the transmitter  2210  and the receiver  2212  independently. The communication device  2200  may also include (not shown) multiple transmitters, multiple receivers, multiple transceivers, and/or multiple antennas. 
     The communication device  2200  may also include a signal detector  2218  that may be used in an effort to detect and quantify the level of signals received by the transceiver  2214 . The signal detector  2218  may detect such signals as frequency, bandwidth, symbol rate, total energy, energy per symbol, power spectral density and other signal characteristics. The signal detector  2218  may also include a “windowing module” and may further be configured to process and incoming data (e.g., one or more signals  2122 ,  2124 ) ensuring that the processor  2204  is receiving a correct bandwidth-limited portion of a wireless communication spectrum in use. As a non-limiting example, certain transmissions to and from a ground station  2102 ,  2104  can incur certain time and frequency variations by the time the transmissions are received at the satellite  2110  and rerouted to the ground station  2106 . Such variations may be due to Doppler shift and distance traveled, among other factors. Accordingly, the signal detector  2218  (or windowing module) may correct the incoming signal(s)  2136  for bandwidth and center frequency to ensure the processor  2204  received the correct portion of the spectrum including the signal(s)  2122 ,  2124 ,  2136 . 
     The communication device  2200  may also include a digital signal processor (DSP)  2220  for use in processing signals. The DSP  2220  may be configured to generate a data unit for transmission. The DSP  2220  may further cooperate with the signal detector  2218  and the processor  2204  to determine certain characteristics of the composite signal  2136 . 
     The communication device  2200  may further comprise a user interface  2222  in some aspects. The user interface  2222  may comprise a keypad, a microphone, a speaker, and/or a display. The user interface  2222  may include any element or component that conveys information to a user of the communication device  2200  and/or receives input from the user. 
     The various components of the communication device  2200  described herein may be coupled together by a bus system  2226 . The bus system  2226  may include a data bus, for example, as well as a power bus, a control signal bus, and a status signal bus in addition to the data bus. Those of skill in the art will appreciate the components of the communication device  2200  may be coupled together or accept or provide inputs to each other using some other mechanism. 
     Although a number of separate components are illustrated in  FIG.  14   , one or more of the components may be combined or commonly implemented. For example, the processor  2204  may be used to implement not only the functionality described above with respect to the processor  2204 , but also to implement the functionality described above with respect to the signal detector  2218  and/or the DSP  2220 . Further, each of the components illustrated in  FIG.  14    may be implemented using a plurality of separate elements. Furthermore, the processor  2204  may be used to implement any of the components, modules, circuits, or the like described below, or each may be implemented using a plurality of separate elements.
