Unity Overview
This document discusses the importance of electrical preventive maintenance and power quality services to reduce facility risks. It notes that electrical hazards are the leading cause of commercial building fires and failures. Without a maintenance program, management assumes greater risks of serious electrical issues. The document also references national statistics on common electrical problems like hot spots and improper torquing that maintenance can address.
Wiring Regulations Infographic
The document discusses the updates made to the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations in the UK as of January 1, 2015. Amendment 3 provides enhanced fire protection by requiring consumer units and similar switchgear assemblies in residential dwellings to have non-combustible enclosures. Periodic inspection and testing of installations will now be needed to demonstrate compliance with the new regulations. The changes aim to reduce fires caused by loose connections in consumer units, which fire brigades report have increased to 5 per week.
Clinicians' Challenge - Dealing With Emergency Department Demand
The document discusses increasing demand on emergency departments and proposes an automated health kiosk as a potential solution. It notes that emergency department presentations have risen 20,000 nationally over the past 3 years. The kiosk would utilize patient history, symptoms, and biometrics to recommend the best care option - whether it's the emergency department, a general practitioner, or self-care at home. It aims to properly triage patients and reduce unnecessary emergency department visits by integrating with general practitioner booking systems. The kiosk would provide patients clinical information and the ability to self-manage their care.

For the following research paper assignment, you have been asked to
For the following research paper assignment, you have been asked to perform an evaluation of employee exposures at a small automobile parts manufacturing facility. The manufacturing processes include two metal presses, two machining stations, three welding stations, a small paint booth, and a shipping/receiving area. There are two employees working at each press, one person working at each machining station, one person working at each welding station, two people working in the paint booth, and four employees working in the shipping/receiving area.
One of the presses is a 2,000-ton press, and the other press is a 200-ton press. The 2,000-ton press is the greatest noise source for the facility. The machining area uses a metal working fluid. The safety data sheet (SDS) for the metal working fluid is attached here. All welding is performed on stainless steel. The painting booth uses a powder coating operation, but the employees use xylene and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) to clean the parts prior to the powder coating operation. At the end of the shift, one of the employees uses 1,3 butadiene to clean the nozzles for the paint booth. The facility uses two electric forklifts to move materials between the production area and the storage warehouse and between the warehouse and the shipping area. All employees work an 8-hour shift.

CANTON, Ohio - A 39-year-old worker suffered multiple broken bones after he fell more than 40 feet while conducting maintenance on a crane at TimkenSteel's Faircrest Plant. The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration found the company failed to provide the worker adequate fallprotection. The Aug. 7, 2015, injury was the second life-threatening injury at a TimkenSteel plant since May 2015.
OSHA cited the steel manufacturer on Jan. 29 for two repeated and three serious safety violations. TimkenSteel faces $129,500 in fines as a result of OSHA's investigation. Investigators found crane maintenance workers were exposed to falls due to lack of guardrails, and protective equipment. They also found workers were not protected from operating parts of cranes during service and maintenance because locking devices, guards and other safety procedures were not used and equipment was not powered down properly.
"TimkenSteel needs to fix their safety program immediately," said Howard Eberts, OSHA's area director in Cleveland. "OSHA will monitor these plants until the company makes protecting workers a priority. No worker should die or suffer life-altering workplace injuries because their employer fails in its responsibility to protect their employees."
In May 2015, another TimkenSteel worker was severely injured when a crane's safety latch failed and 1,000 pounds of equipment fell on him at its Gambrinus plant. In October 2015, OSHA placed TimkenSteel in the agency's Severe Violator Enforcement Program, after investigations at the Harrison and Gambrinus plants found several violations resulting in proposed fines of $393,500. The company has contested those violations.

TimkenSteel was spun off from The Timken Company in 2014. Prior to this inspection, the three plants and corporate offices now operated by TimkenSteel had been inspected by OSHA 29 times since 2005, resulting in the issuance of 76 violations. The manufacturer of large steel bars and seamless mechanical tubing was mostly recently cited by OSHA in November 2014. Its Harrison steel plant melts, rolls, produces and finishes steel, and its Gambrinus plant performs cold steel finishing.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

3-6 June 2024, Niš, SerbiaLow power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniques
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.
