A programmable controller for a fire suppression system includes a rewritable memory module and a processor module as well as multiple sensor inputs and control signal outputs. In embodiments, artificial dielectrics using other nanostructures, such as nanorods, nanotubes or nanoribbons and the like are disclosed. The piston is slidably disposed within the tube downstream of the bottom end cap and upstream of the top end cap. The actuation arrangement is controlled by a control interface that is operable to detect when the shallow water anchor has reached a fully extended state and fully retracted state. Selection and arrangement of the elements is done by a user database in the multimedia device depending on data determined by an identification device of the remote control. Once large and small noise regions have been identified, the noise regions can be filtered using techniques known in the art.
