DEVICE FOR THE INTEGRATION OF FIRE-FIGHTING SYSTEMS IN SMART BUILDINGS
The general scope of this invention is the field of fire-fighting systems understood in a broad sense, and in particular fire-fighting systems in which very high levels of effectiveness are intended to be acieved, and which, therefore, tend to become systems of increasing complexity. This complexity substantially depends on the fact that the ways in which a fire originates can be different and numerous, and it is evident that the timeliness of detection is crucial in triggering effective reaction measures. Fire-fighting systems must therefore be prepared to make use of an increasing quantity of sensors, both in number and in type. In other words, a high-performance fire-fighting system must have a large number of sensors. The evolution of fire-fighting systems, like for of all systems, in general, must necessarily be framed in the wake of the so-called "smart buildings", that is highly computerized buildings, characterized by the presence of a multitude of systems, in which information acquired by each system are exploited to the benefit of the other systems as well. The intuition behind the present invention consists in having overturned the definition of the technical problem underlying the integration of the different systems that characterize the so-called "smart buildings", proposing not to start from the systems and then look for ways to integrate them, but starting from the sensors. The problem of integration was thus formulated by putting it in different terms: i.e. in the definition of a multi-sensor not specifically linked to a particular system or to a particular function, but suitable for collecting a wide variety of information, some of which not typical of the current systems installed in "smart buildings", but certainly useful in order to collect general information on the state of the "smart building", so as to activate any implementation functions of various types and nature, including the management the events related to fires.

The present invention indicates an innovative wiring architecture for living environments, which meets the needs determined by the fast diffusion of the "intelligent buildings", i.e., buildings where a significant presence of electrical devices called "smart objects" is expected. This innovative wiring architecture can be implemented in all existing buildings, without requiring the creation of spaces to house cable ducts or other invasive interventions from the construction point of view; it also guarantees data and power distribution both in Ac and DC mode, substantially everywhere, thus supporting the installation and flexible positioning of the "smart objects"; and all this is achieved, while also guaranteeing safety requirements higher than or equal to those required by current regulations on the subject. This wiring architecture provides for the laying of one or more "conductor rings", each comprising a plurality of parallel conductor cables; and accessible to power, in parallel, a plurality of electrical devices, which can be positioned at any point. Furthermore, these "conductor rings" are associated with a data transmission line, suitable for supporting data exchanges with said electrical devices, and include at least one "contact electrode card", that is a card that allows the flexible reconfiguration of the contacts in such "conductive rings". In preferred forms of application, said "conductor rings" are made with "ribbon cables", i.e., flat and thin cables that can be laid on the walls without the excavation of special traces, and they are accessible through the installation of appropriate boxes for extraction of contacts, designed to be installed and uninstalled on such "ribbon cables" with maximum flexibility.
The scope of application of this invention concerns the air purification and sanitization systems of indoor environments, that is, all those confined spaces where people are expected to stay. Particular attention was paid to the application in the hospital environment, an environment where the need to have efficient sanitation systems assumes a very significant importance, especially with respect to the presence of viruses: a type of pathogen extremely complex to be countered in its generality. Due to the complexity of the matter, it is in fact impossible to propose or suggest a single solution, which can be identified as a unique and incontrovertible strategy, designed to ensure an efficient exchange of indoor air while preventing the propagation of unwanted organic and non-organic substances. Therefore, for all these aspects, the present invention has identified, as a central problem, the need to counteract a great heterogeneity of pathogens, parasites and infectious agents, proposing a combined multistage disinfection system against unwanted guests. Since there are many possible opponents, the invention intends to apply the popular adage: "unity is strength". Therefore, the air exchange and sanitization system according to the invention teaches to exploit in a synergistic and combined way at least three sanitizing and filtering actions of the air: an ozone disinfection treatment, another disinfection treatment through ultraviolet radiation and filtering carried out by means of a filtering septum made of suitable materials, such as silver, which is a preferred choice, since, in combination with the other treatments it also exerts a powerful antibacterial and oxidizing function.

The present invention describes a very long extension which is particularly compact when wound, and which is suitable for bringing both electrical power and data connectivity to a point where it is necessary to connect an electrical device. Examples of contexts in which the use of very long extensions is required can be: a construction site, a large warehouse, or a setting up context for an exhibition (fair or museum). The prior art does not propose universal extensions to remotize both power supply and data connectivity simultaneously, this is because access to the electrical network is usually more widespread than access to data and therefore, in real cases of use, the extension should be able to connect to two distant physical points. The present invention describes an extension made using a "ribbon cable", which can be rolled up neatly, without twisting and without knotting. Moreover, being very thin, when wrapped, it gives rise to a coil that is certainly very compact, if compared to the dimensions of traditional extensions. In addition, the "extension system" is completed with some accessories that allow you to bring data connectivity to the same socket where the power supply is taken. More precisely, a so- called "Powerline" modem is installed at the point of withdrawal of data connectivity (which can be very far from the point of withdrawal of electricity), and it is also connected to the nearest electrical socket, with the sole condition that this socket is connected to the same electrical distribution network to which the "ribbon cable" of the "extension system" according to the invention is also connected. At this point, in addition to the power supply, a modulated "Powerline" signal is also present on the socket where it is connected the extension cable (i.e. the "ribbon cable" of the "extension system" according to the invention). Then, using a second "Powerline" modem, which allows to modulate/demodulate this signal, it is possible to have both a data access and power access, substantially in the same point of the working environment, and therefore by means of an appropriate " ribbon cable", these accesses can be remoted to the point of actual use.
In general, the application of the present invention regards the electrical wiring of buildings. In particular, the solution identified concerns the positioning and installation of boxes suitable for housing electrical sockets, or control systems, or various sensors on the walls of the rooms, when these internal walls are made, or covered, with panels made of plasterboard or, alternatively, with other similar materials. From the point of view of the design of new electrical systems, the invention finds application in those of new conception, with "bus" architecture, in which one or more power supply lines that carry voltage are arranged (in principle both direct and alternating voltages) throughout the whole building, and the loads are connected to these live lines at any point without interrupting them at the contact points. The present invention indicates a box for extracting electrical contacts from an electric line made by means of a "ribbon cable" laid under a surface finishing panel of a wall or ceiling. This box is easy to install, and makes an electrical power interface available on this wall, so that said power interface is accessible to a load. This box for extracting electrical contacts is characterized in that, when installed, it is partially embedded in the wall, above a trait of the electrical line where it is intended to extract the contacts to be presented on the outside, and it is embedded only for the thickness corresponding to that of said surface finishing panel; it is also equipped with at least one electrode positioned in such a way that, when said box for extracting electrical contacts is installed, this electrode is pressed on said "ribbon cable", so as to make an electrical contact with a conductor of said electric line.
