Abstract The emergence of sockets and switches with fire protection monitoring alarm functions had realized the forward detection risk gateway, which played an important role in preventing occurrence electrical fires. In 2014, national standard GB31252 “Fire Monitoring Alarm Sockets Switches” was promulgated implemented, detailed product functions, performance test methods switches. This articl...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this descriptive study was to investigate the current situation of clinical alarms in intensive care unit (ICU), nurses' recognition of and fatigue in relation to clinical alarms, and obstacles in alarm management. METHODS Subjects were ICU nurses and devices from 48 critically ill patient cases. Data were collected through direct observation of alarm occurrence and ...

BACKGROUND Healthy individuals performing response suppression tasks activate anterior cingulate cortex with occurrence of false alarm error responses to nontargets. Fundamental questions include whether this error-related activation provides a signal contributing to behavioral control and, given generally poorer performance on such tasks by addicts, whether this signal is disrupted in addictio...

Most of buildings that have the fire detection systems provide limited information from the detectors to fire alarm panels. Therefore, there is a need to improve the quality of the information that is provided for this service. This paper proposed a way to detect the fire immediately by video camera, using a style of Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) technique for controlling the DC motor a...

This article presents a control chart for time series data, based on the one-stepahead forecast errors of the Holt-Winters forecasting method. We use robust techniques to prevent that outliers affect the estimation of the control limits of the chart. Moreover, robustness is important to maintain the reliability of the control chart after the occurrence of alarm observations. The properties of t...

In this study various species of captive marine fish and one species of squid were exposed to the noise from a single air gun. Six trials were conducted off the coast of Western Australia with each trial using a different noise exposure regime. Noise levels received by the animals ranged between 120 and 184 dB re 1 μPa(2).s (SEL). Behavioural observations of the fish and squid were made before,...
