A brief introduction of the proposed Hong Kong Security of Payment Legislation, a light touch on its features and procedure, followed by a relevant case law from another jurisdiction.
The document compares the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and PED (Pressure Equipment Directive) standards regarding their application to pressure equipment. It notes that equipment critical to nuclear safety is excluded from the PED and should be designed to codes like the ASME Section III or RCC-M. There are fundamental differences between the PED and ASME Code in terms of allowable stresses, material requirements, approval of welding procedures and personnel, and more. The PED requirements must be followed for equipment used in the European Union.
This document provides an overview of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes. It discusses the objectives and benefits of codes and standards, and describes the ASME Code system and some of its key sections. It focuses on introducing ASME Section VIII Division 1, covering the scope and exclusions of this section. Key topics covered include design requirements, material specifications, fabrication methods, weld joint categories, non-destructive examination methods, and hydrostatic and pneumatic testing requirements.

This document outlines steps for developing a quality control system manual (QCSM) to meet ASME Section VIII Division 2 regulations for pressure vessel certification. The key steps include:
1. Applying to ASME and the National Board for certification.
2. Developing detailed design calculations, drawings, materials specifications, and fabrication and inspection procedures meeting code requirements.
3. Implementing the QCSM in the shop and warehouses, and distributing it to all relevant personnel, to ensure all code requirements are met during construction.
4. Scheduling audits by the Authorized Inspector to confirm readiness for joint review and certification.
The document describes an ASME student design competition that challenges teams to design a paper-launching system. The system must cut out shapes from and fold a sheet of paper before manually loading and launching it using only battery power. It will be evaluated based on projectile distance, reliability, volume minimization, manufacturability, design, production process, and launching mechanism. The document outlines potential projectile shapes and launching methods, and describes one team's design that uses offset shafts to nearly simultaneously cut, fold, and form the projectile before launching.
El documento presenta una breve historia del código ASME y el proceso de certificación. Explica que la certificación ASME requiere que los fabricantes implementen un sistema de gestión de calidad y se sometan a auditorías periódicas de una tercera parte independiente. Los equipos sin certificación no cumplen con estos requisitos de inspección y verificación, lo que puede comprometer la seguridad.

OSDC 2011 | Open Source Software for Public Administration by Dr. George Kolo...NETWAYS
This presentation aims to explore OSOR.eu, the online communication platform of the Open Source Observatory and Repository. OSOR.eu is an initiative of the European Commission with the scope to promote, exchange experience and share information on the use of open source software by Public Administrations. More particularly, OSOR.eu provides helpful information for open source software developers who work on software that may be used to address the needs of public administrations.
The presentation will begin with an outline of what the platform provides in terms of information, databases, networking, and who and why can benefit from its use. Public administrations and software developers can stay updated on current relevant activities and can use the platform to facilitate communication of needs, requirements, and evolution.Following the general introduction on how the public sector and the open source community can benefit from OSOR.eu, the speaker will then move into explaining more technical details on how the platform works in relation to the specific areas of interest for the audience and will discuss how to choose the appropriate open source license when starting from scratch or when reusing other OSS components. Furthermore, an outline will be given on the benefits of the European Public License in an environment of different languages and legal systems, such as Europe.

Editor's Notes
Work permits are issued by Work Permits (UK), part of the Home Office's The UK Border Agency. A work permit relates to a specific person and a specific job. The work permit scheme lets UK employers recruit or transfer people from outside the European Economic Area (EEA), while still protecting the interests of resident workers in the UK. Work permits also allow overseas nationals to come to the UK for training or work experience. There are six types of work permit. Business and commercial. These allow UK employers to recruit people from outside the EEA who will fill a vacancy that the employer has not been able to fill with a resident worker. Sportspeople and entertainers These allow UK employers to employ established sportspeople, entertainers, cultural artists and some technical and support people from outside the EEA. GATS (Global Agreement on Trade in Services) This allows employees of companies that are based outside the European Union to work in the UK on a service contract awarded to their employer by a UK-based organisation. Sectors Based Scheme (SBS) From 1 January 2007, this scheme only allows workers from Romania and Bulgaria to enter the UK for up to 12 months to take low-skilled work in the food manufacturing industry. More details on this scheme are available from Work Permits (UK). (Contact details are under 'More advice and information' at the end of this guidance). Training and Work Experience Scheme (TWES) This scheme allows people from outside the EEA to carry out work-based training for a professional or specialist qualification, or a short period of work experience as an extra member of staff. To qualify for TWES, you must: hold a valid TWES work permit and be able to carry out the training or work experience it applies to intend to leave the UK after the training or work experience be aged over 16 not intend to take employment except as set out on the permit, and be able to support yourself and your dependants, without needing any help from public funds. If you have been in the UK on a TWES permit for more than 12 months, you will not normally be eligible for another TWES permit until you have spent 24 months outside the UK. If you have been in the UK on a TWES permit for less than 12 months, you will not normally be eligible for another TWES permit until you have spent 12 months outside the UK.
