Abstract: An operation control method suitable for a fire extinguishing system of an extra-high voltage converter station is provided. The method includes: after an upper computer control system receives a sound-light alarm signal, an alarm position signal, and a switch position dividing signal, starting a spray range prediction analysis subsystem for a fixed fire monitor; determining, by the spray range prediction analysis subsystem for the fixed fire monitor based on an external wind direction and an external wind speed, whether a range of a fire monitor effectively covers an entire area of a converter transformer; and if yes, automatically presetting a first fire monitor to which a first compressed air foam generation subsystem belongs and a second fire monitor to which a second compressed air foam generation subsystem belongs; or if no, replacing a fire monitor with a mobile fire-fighting robot to extinguish a fire.

Abstract: A system for detecting and verifying an environmental anomaly within a shipping container (transported on a transit vehicle having an external transceiver) has wireless sensor-based ID nodes at different locations within the container and multiple command nodes mounted to the container. A first command node is programmatically configured to be operative to detect the sensor data broadcasted from the ID nodes; responsively identify the anomaly based upon the sensor data detected by that command node; and transmit a validation request to another command node. The other command node is configured to be operative to also detect the sensor data broadcasted from the ID nodes; receive the validation request from the first command node; verify the anomaly in response to the validation request and based upon the sensor data detected by the second command node; and broadcast a verification message based upon whether the anomaly for the shipping container is verified.

Abstract: An adaptive method and system for monitoring a shipping container for an environmental anomaly uses sensor-based ID nodes within the container and a command node. Sensors on each ID node generate sensor data about an environmental condition proximate the ID node as disposed within the container. Each ID node periodically broadcasts the sensor data. The command node monitors a first group of sensor data from the ID nodes over a first time period to detect an initial environmental threshold condition related to the container, then monitors a subsequent group of sensor data over a second time period under a modified monitoring parameter to detect a secondary environmental threshold condition related to the container as the anomaly. In response to detecting the secondary condition, the command node generates an alert notification and transmits the alert notification to an external transceiver to initiate a mediation response related to the anomaly.
