Capacitive app note
The document discusses how capacitive voltage detectors work by capacitively coupling to nearby live voltages without direct contact. It explains that the detector completes a capacitive circuit between the user's body and the detected voltage source. The detector tip acts as one plate of a capacitor and the user's body acts as the other plate, with insulation in between. Because capacitive impedance is highest for smaller capacitors, the detector tip receives most of the voltage from nearby sources. Some examples are provided to demonstrate capacitive coupling and how detectors can identify open neutrals or stray voltages on ungrounded metal surfaces in this way.
Trenching 2014 year in review
The document discusses several excavation incidents from 2014 where violations of OSHA standards led to injuries and deaths of workers.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
