Heat detectors are fire alarm devices that respond to increases in temperature rather than smoke. There are two main types: fixed temperature detectors, which activate at a predetermined temperature, and rate-of-rise detectors, which activate when the temperature rises abnormally quickly. Heat detectors use various methods to detect temperature increases, including fusible metals, heat-sensitive cables, and expansion of metals or gases. Flame detectors detect infrared, ultraviolet, or visible light emitted by fires using different sensor types like infrared and ultraviolet detectors. Fire detection systems divide areas into zones covered by detectors, manual call points, and alarm panels connected to a control center.

It has become more apparent over the years how important it is to have adequate fire protection in every building. For most people (Non-technical), what comes to mind when they think of fire protection are Sprinkler system, smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. However, these two elements only cover a small portion of the protection services you should have at all times. There are in fact two types of fire protection: Active Fire Protection (AFP) and Passive Fire Protection (PFP). One type of protection must not be chosen over the other. On the contrary, both AFP and PFP must be used together for full fire protection. It is important to understand the difference between AFP and PFP so that you are confident that your building is protected by both types.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions.

Heat Detectors:
A heat detectors are fire alarm device designed to respond when the thermal energy of
a fire increases the temperature of a heat sensitive element.
It is a special safety device that responds to a rise in temperature and gets activated in
case of a fire.
Unlike smoke detectors, they do not respond to smoke and thus are designed to save
property rather than life.
Heat alarm are designed to provide extra time to put off a fire or evacuate people from
a building.
Classification of heat detectors:
There are two types of heat detectors:
(a) Fixed temperature detectors, these detectors are designed to operate when the
detecting mechanism or element reaches a pre-determined temperature. These can again
be subdivided into two types:
(i) Point detectors, which are small, each protecting a limited area and (ii) Line
detectors, which have a linear sensing device usually protecting a larger area.
the temperature range normally adopted for point detectors is from 550 C to 180 degree
Celsius
(b) Rate-of-rise detectors designed to operate when the temperature rises abnormally
quickly, or when a pre-determined temperature is reached.
The temperature range normally adopted for the rate of rise of the temperature is less
than 10 degree C/min.

Methods used to detect heat:
Following are the methods to detect the heat
a) By fusible metals or metal alloys
b) Heat sensitive covering in cable assembly (thermostatic
Cables)
c) Expansion of metals
d) Expansion of Gases (pneumatic detector)
a) By fusible metals or metal alloys,
Fusible metals or metal alloys which melt when a pre-determined temperature is
reached, which operates an electrical circuit, and which in turn activates the fire alarm.
A figure depicting this principle is given below:
b) ) Heat sensitive covering in cable assembly (thermostatic cables):
In this, two conductors are insulated from each other by a heat sensitive covering. At
the rated temperature the covering melts and the two conductors come into contact
initiating an alarm.
c) Expansion of metals:
The movements created by expanding metals or bi-metal strips are used to make or
break electrical circuits. Figures depicting these principles are given below

d) Expansion of Gases (pneumatic detector):
This consists of an air chamber having a flexible diaphragm which can move an
electrical contact. Heat causes the air pressure in the chamber to increase, making the
diaphragm flexed to close the electrical contact. A figure of this follows:

Flame/Fire detectors:
Fire detectors are the devices which sense one or more of the products or phenomena resulting
from fire, such as smoke, heat, infrared and/or ultraviolet light radiation, or gas.
General requirements for automatic fire detection and alarm Systems.
The systems consist of fire detectors and manual call points connected by cables to
sector / zonal panels which, in turn, are connected to Control and Indicating
equipment(C&I)
The protected area should be divided into zones, each zone covering only one storey of
the building or any other prescribed area like stairwell, lift shafts and other vertical
shafts etc.
Individual zones/sectors are necessary if the number of detectors in any area exceeds
20.
One of the chief objectives of zoning is to make it easier to determine the location of
fire.
The sounders for the fire alarm should be electronic hooters / horns / electric bells
having frequency range of 500 Hz. to 1000Hz.
The distribution of fire alarm sounders should be such that they have a minimum sound
level of either 65 dB (A) or 5 dB(A) above any other noise likely to persist for more
than 30 secs., whichever is greater, and that the alarm is heard at all designated locations
in the building.
In large and / or high rise buildings and / or special buildings it may be necessary to
have two-stage alarms for facilitating evacuation of the areas involving greater life
hazard. In this case, while the alert signal will be sounding in all areas, the evacuation
signal will be restricted only to the floor area as well as other areas immediately affected
by the fire.
A Control Centre should be provided especially for high rise and special buildings,
preferably in the ground floor.
Classification of flame detectors:

Apart from producing hot .gases., fire releases radiant energy in the form of ) Infrared light, ultra-
violet light and visible lights. Flame detectors are classified based upon their ability to detect
these different types of lights coming from a fire. Hence flame detectors are classified three
main categories.
1) Infrared flame detectors
2) Ultra-violet flame detectors and
3) Multi-sensor detectors.
1) Infrared flame detectors:
Infrared light is one of the most common type of light emitted from a fire source.
Infrared waves are longer than those of visible light, their wave length is in the range
of about 700 nano-meters (nm) to 1 milli-meter (mm).
Any typical infrared flame detector is consist of a lens and filter, photo electric cell,
an amplifier with filter timer and alarm system. The figure given above illustrates the
basic components of this detector:
In case of fire, the light passes through the lens and filters. The lens and filter will
allow only Infra-red radiation to fall on the photo electric cell.
On getting the radiation, the cell will transmit a to the filter / amplifier. The flame has
a distinctive frequency, normally in the frequency range of 5Hz - 50Hz. The filter /
amplifier will amplify signals in this range as well as filter out signals which are not
in this range.
The signals in this range are then fed to the integrator / timer which will activate the
alarm circuit only if the signal persists for a pre-set period of normally 2-15 secs.
Thus, false alarms are avoided or minimised. The detector has a neon flasher to
indicate which head has been activated.

2) Ultra-violet flame detectors:
The principle of operation of this detector is very similar to that of the ionisation
detector.
When ultra-violet radiation strikes the gas filled tube it ionises the gas in the tube. A
small current is set up between the two electrodes, and the alarm is raised when there
is a change in the current flow.
The integrator helps reduce false alarms caused by external sources of ultra-violet
radiation like lightning or even sunlight.
This type of detector is commonly used for specialised applications, as for aircraft
engine nacelles, fuel storage tanks, oil rigs, warehouses, paint spray booths etc.
