Drunk Buster Alcohol Simulation and Vision Impairment GogglesLifeloc Technologies
Vision impairment goggles are used to simulate the effects of intoxication from alcohol, drugs, or sleep deprivation for substance abuse and safety training. The goggles distort vision to replicate visual effects at various levels of intoxication or fatigue. Training programs use the goggles to demonstrate how impairment can reduce functions like coordination, reaction time, and depth perception. Employers have found the goggles help trainees understand why impairment can compromise safety and how to recognize signs of it in others. Educational institutions also use the goggles to educate students about substance abuse and its effects.
Alcohol Simulation Goggles, also called Drunk Buster Goggles and Fatal Vision Goggles simulate the effects of intoxication through vision distorting lenses. Great for alcohol awareness and education courses, driving schools, and alcohol prevention programs.
School districts in Louisiana and Oregon have implemented breath alcohol testing programs at high school events using Lifeloc breathalyzers to increase safety. Prior to testing, at least one student in Louisiana died each year from alcohol-related incidents at events, but this has been eliminated since testing began. In Oregon's Beaverton School District, 6 to 10 students previously died annually in alcohol-related crashes, but since implementing a comprehensive alcohol program including testing, only 3 deaths and 5 injuries have occurred from similar crashes. The breathalyzers allow schools to rapidly screen hundreds of students entering events to prevent intoxicated students from attending and endangering themselves and others.

This document discusses the challenges of drugged driving and measuring impairment. It notes that while alcohol impairment can be measured by BAC levels, drug impairment is more complex due to individual responses and drug combinations. Current roadside tests have limitations in reliability, sensitivity, and ability to detect the range of illegal drugs. The document calls for standardized testing procedures and tools that can rapidly and reliably measure recent drug use at roadside. It also advocates for more drugged driving research, enforcement priorities, and impaired driving training for officers.
Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

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.
Understanding Inductive Bias in Machine LearningSUTEJAS
This presentation explores the concept of inductive bias in machine learning. It explains how algorithms come with built-in assumptions and preferences that guide the learning process. You'll learn about the different types of inductive bias and how they can impact the performance and generalizability of machine learning models.
The presentation also covers the positive and negative aspects of inductive bias, along with strategies for mitigating potential drawbacks. We'll explore examples of how bias manifests in algorithms like neural networks and decision trees.
By understanding inductive bias, you can gain valuable insights into how machine learning models work and make informed decisions when building and deploying them.
Redefining brain tumor segmentation: a cutting-edge convolutional neural netw...IJECEIAES
Medical image analysis has witnessed significant advancements with deep learning techniques. In the domain of brain tumor segmentation, the ability to
precisely delineate tumor boundaries from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
scans holds profound implications for diagnosis. This study presents an ensemble convolutional neural network (CNN) with transfer learning, integrating
the state-of-the-art Deeplabv3+ architecture with the ResNet18 backbone. The
model is rigorously trained and evaluated, exhibiting remarkable performance
metrics, including an impressive global accuracy of 99.286%, a high-class accuracy of 82.191%, a mean intersection over union (IoU) of 79.900%, a weighted
IoU of 98.620%, and a Boundary F1 (BF) score of 83.303%. Notably, a detailed comparative analysis with existing methods showcases the superiority of
our proposed model. These findings underscore the model’s competence in precise brain tumor localization, underscoring its potential to revolutionize medical
image analysis and enhance healthcare outcomes. This research paves the way
for future exploration and optimization of advanced CNN models in medical
imaging, emphasizing addressing false positives and resource efficiency.

Automatic Alcohol Screening Improves Mines Safety

Automatic Alcohol
Screening Improves
Mine Safety
While the illegal use of drugs gets the most attention, alcohol abuse is the greater
driver of harm and cost in the workplace. Nearly 30% of the Australian mining
workforce regularly drink six or more standard drinks.1 Alcohol screening is
proven to create a safer work environment, increase productivity and reduce costs.
An alcohol free environment also improves morale and job satisfaction.

he SENTINEL™ Mines Alcohol
Screening System from Lifeloc
Technologies is a fully auto-mated
“zero tolerance” alcohol
screening system for both large and small
employee populations.
Michael Crossland, SENTINEL™ Product Manager
for PSA, Lifeloc’s official African distributor
confirms “the SENTINEL™ easily screens 100% of
employees entering a work site more quickly and
economically than random testing. At one site
each of 2000 employees are screened through
five turnstiles daily without bottlenecks.”
The SENTINEL™ can automatically screen
an employee every two seconds versus
traditional handheld breathalysers which do
well to test one person per minute. Further,
the SENTINEL™ can be user calibrated on-site
avoiding costly downtime.
Easy to understand icons prompt subjects
to blow into the collection cone and a test
is automatically triggered. No mouthpieces,
operator or subject training is required.
Optionally, test results can be instantly relayed
to existing access control systems to allow or
deny entry. Nothing could be easier or faster.
Lifeloc Technologies is a global leader in work-place
breath alcohol testing. We manufacture
precision fuel cell instruments known for their
reliability and ease of use.
