OBJECTIVES To reduce fires and fire related injuries by increasing the prevalence of functioning smoke alarms in high risk households. SETTING The programme was delivered in an inner London area with above average material deprivation and below average smoke alarm ownership. The target population included low income and rental households and households with elderly persons or young children. ...

In some indoor condition where human are not suitable to get in (e.g. battlefield or house on fire), insect-size airrobot or ground vehicle are nimble and rapid tools to figure out the situation inside. The accurate localization and safe navigation in indoor environment plays a significant role when making use of these vehicles. But insect-size robot’s indoor localization is restricted by weigh...

Examination of various SIM cards and smart card devices indicates that data may be retained in SIM card memory structures even after heating to temperatures up to 450 degrees C, which the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has determined to be approximately the maximum average sustained temperature at desk height in a house fire. However, in many cases, and certainly for temp...

Ferrocement or Ferro-concrete is a system of reinforced mortar or plaster applied over layers of metal. It consists of closely spaced, multiple layers of mesh or fine rods completely embedded in cement mortar. It has a wide range of uses including sculpture and prefabricated building components. Ferro concrete is relatively a new material and has good strength and resistance to impact. When use...

During crisis situations, emergency services have to make a lot of crucial decisions, sometimes inevitably based on incomplete or outdated information caused by a lack of means of communication. Wireless ad hoc and mesh networks are a good solution for setting up emergency networks, as they do not rely on fixed infrastructure, can be set up quickly, and provide the necessary communication bandw...

Swarms of robots have several military and civilian applications such as search and rescue missions, terrain exploration, industrial control, public security, fire combat, and several others. One of the biggest challenges of cooperative swarming in such application domains is the real-time coordination of the robot's movements in a wide-area setting, where it is expensive, or even impossible, t...

Now a day’s Belt conveyor system not only used in mining industries but also applied in cement industries, power plant, food industries, production industries etc. So it is essential equipment for in house material transportation today. The paper presents the review of belt conveyor design modification and latest technologies or methodologies used in different applications to reduce failures, m...

The ability to monitor air contaminants in the Shuttle and the International Space Station is important to ensure the health and safety of astronauts. Three specific space applications have been identified that would benefit from a chemical monitor: organic contaminants in crew cabins, propellant contaminants in the airlock, and pre-combustion fire detection. NASA has assessed several commercia...
