Abstract

An integrated, portable, battery-powered, variable-pressure electric liquid pump and power emergency station comprising a chassis; one or more wheels supporting the chassis; an electrically powered, variable-pressure liquid pump carried by the chassis; one or more rechargeable batteries powering the variable-pressure liquid pump to transfer liquid at variable pressures from a liquid source to a liquid destination; and one or more AC outlets carried by the chassis and powered by the one or more rechargeable batteries to provide emergency back-up power during power outage.

Claims (53)

1. An integrated, portable, battery-powered, variable-pressure electric liquid pump and power emergency station, comprising:

a chassis;

one or more wheels supporting the chassis;

an electrically powered, variable-pressure liquid pump carried by the chassis;

one or more rechargeable batteries powering the variable-pressure liquid pump to transfer liquid at variable pressures from a liquid source to a liquid destination;

one or more AC outlets carried by the chassis and powered by the one or more rechargeable batteries to provide emergency back-up power during power outage,

wherein the emergency station includes at least one hardware processor; and one or more software modules that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor,

receive incoming signals representative of emergency alert communication signals from one or more of FEMA, NOAA, fire services, police services, military services, and local emergency services;

determine if the received incoming signals meet predetermined criteria indicative of an emergency;

cause the one or more rechargeable batteries to be fully charged upon determination that the received incoming signals meet the predetermined criteria.

2. The emergency station of claim 1 , wherein the emergency station includes one or more wireless communication components that receive wireless signals and at least one hardware processor; and one or more software modules that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor,

enable remote control of the emergency station by a mobile computing device application via the at least one hardware processor and one or more of WIFI and radio signals received by the one or more wireless communication components.

3. The emergency station of claim 1 , further including a visual alarm, and the one or more software modules that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause actuation of the visual alarm upon determination that the received incoming signals meet the predetermined criteria.

4. The emergency station of claim 3 , further including an audible alarm, and the one or more software modules that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause actuation of the audible arm upon determination that the received incoming signals meet the predetermined criteria.

5. The emergency station of claim 1 , further including a user control and display panel and at least one hardware processor; and one or more software modules that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor,

causes the user control and display panel to display water pressure of the variable-pressure liquid pump, remaining battery time of the one or more rechargeable batteries, and charging status of the one or more rechargeable batteries when the variable-pressure liquid pump is actuated via the user control and display panel.

6. The emergency station of claim 1 , further including a user control and display panel and at least one hardware processor; and one or more software modules that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor,

causes the user control and display panel to display at least one of duration and volume of a remaining supply of liquid resources when the variable-pressure liquid pump is actuated via the user control and display panel.

7. The emergency station of claim 1 , further including a user control and display panel and at least one hardware processor; and one or more software modules that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor,

initiate activation of the electrically powered, variable-pressure liquid pump at variable pressures to address a fire when the variable-pressure liquid pump is actuated via the user control and display panel.

8. The emergency station of claim 1 , further including a user control and display panel and at least one hardware processor; and one or more software modules that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor,

initiate activation of the electrically powered, variable-pressure liquid pump at variable pressures to address a flood when the variable-pressure liquid pump is actuated via the user control and display panel.

9. The emergency station of claim 1 , further including a user control and display panel and at least one hardware processor; and one or more software modules that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor,

initiate activation of the electrically powered, variable-pressure liquid pump at variable pressures to address loss of area water pressure when the variable-pressure liquid pump is actuated via the user control and display panel.

10. The emergency station of claim 1 , further including a user control and display panel and at least one hardware processor; and one or more software modules that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor,

supply power to the one or more AC outlets via the one or more rechargeable batteries to provide emergency back-up power during power outage when a corresponding input is actuated via the user control and display panel.

11. The emergency station of claim 1 , further including an electric motor to power the one or more wheels and at least one hardware processor; and one or more software modules that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor,

supply power to the electric motor via the one or more rechargeable batteries to propel the one or more wheels when a corresponding input is actuated in the emergency station.

12. The emergency station of claim 1 , further including a user control and display panel, one or more ultra-capacitors, and at least one hardware processor; and one or more software modules that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor,

engage the one or more ultra-capacitors to supply power to the variable-pressure liquid pump to prime the variable-pressure liquid pump when a corresponding input is actuated via the user control and display panel.

13. An integrated, portable, battery-powered, variable-pressure electric liquid pump and power emergency station, comprising:

a chassis;

one or more wheels supporting the chassis;

an electrically powered, variable-pressure liquid pump carried by the chassis;

one or more rechargeable batteries powering the variable-pressure liquid pump to transfer liquid at variable pressures from a liquid source to a liquid destination;

one or more AC outlets carried by the chassis and powered by the one or more rechargeable batteries to provide emergency back-up power during power outage,

wherein the emergency station includes at least one hardware processor; and one or more software modules that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor,

receive incoming signals representative of emergency alert communication signals from one or more of FEMA, NOAA, fire services, police services, military services, and local emergency services;

determine if the received incoming signals meet predetermined criteria indicative of an emergency;

cause actuation of one or more of onboard electrical equipment and ancillary electrical equipment upon determination that the received incoming signals meet the predetermined criteria,

wherein one or more of onboard electrical equipment and ancillary electrical equipment includes one or more of causing the one or more rechargeable batteries to be fully charged, activation of the variable-pressure liquid pump at user predetermined rates, and power the one or more AC outlets.

14. The emergency station of claim 13 , wherein the emergency station includes one or more wireless communication components that receive wireless signals and at least one hardware processor;

and one or more software modules that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, enable remote control of the emergency station by a mobile computing device application via the at least one hardware processor and one or more of WIFI and radio signals received by the one or more wireless communication components.
