Light Guide: Occupant Sensors Occupant sensors are switching devices that respond to the presence and absence of people in the sensor's field of view. In most occupant sensor systems, the motion detector and controller are housed in one package; the power supply and relay comprise another integral unit, sometimes called a control unit or switchpack. As an occupant moves a hand, arm, or torso from one cone of vision to another, a positive signal is generated and sent to the controller. www.lightsearch.com /resources/lightguides/sensors.html   (1298 words)

CIS: Safe and Sanitary Housing for Massachusetts Residents The occupant of a dwelling is responsible for maintaining all toilets, washbasins, sinks, showers, bathtubs, stoves, refrigerators and dishwashers in a clean and sanitary fashion. Occupants are responsible for the maintenance of exits intended for their exclusive use. Affected parties, owners and occupants shall be informed of the hearing and of their right to inspect the files of the board of health. www.sec.state.ma.us /cis/cissfsn/sfsnidx.htm   (2920 words)

Occupant Protection In 2000, 72% of belted passenger vehicle occupants (four years of age and older) involved in a fatal crash survived - compared to 43% of unrestrained occupants. All front seat occupants are required to be protected by a safety belt or safety restraint system, regardless of age. The April 1985 baseline occupant restraint usage rate for all front seat occupants (drivers and passengers) was 15.9%. www.sos.state.il.us /departments/drivers/traffic_safety/occprotect.html   (1178 words)

[No title] Occupant Emergency Plan (OEP) The Occupant Emergency Plan (OEP) is a set of procedures to protect life and property under defined emergency conditions. An occupant emergency is an event that may require you to be evacuated from your occupied space or relocated to a safer area. Occupant Emergency Plan (OEP) The critical elements of the OEP are: Evacuation Plans Be sure to specify where the mail center’s employees should gather immediately after an evacuation, so that the supervisor on duty can take a head count. www.gsa.gov /gsa/cm_attachments/GSA_DOCUMENT/occupant_emergency_plan_R2RQ8-k_0Z5RDZ-i34K-pR.doc   (686 words)

The Laws of War on Land, 1880 The occupant should maintain the laws which were in force in the country in time of peace, and should not modify, suspend, or replace them, unless necessary. The occupant, however, cannot compel the inhabitants to assist him in his works of attack or defense, or to take part in military operations against their own country (Article 4). The occupant can only take possession of cash, funds and realizable or negotiable securities which are strictly the property of the State, depots of arms, supplies, and, in general, movable property of the State of such character as to be useful in military operations. net.lib.byu.edu /~rdh7/wwi/1914m/land1880.html   (4310 words)

1342 - NIH Occupant Evacuation Plan The purpose of this Manual Chapter is to establish the NIH Occupant Evacuation Plan which defines the scope and method for immediate, positive and orderly action to safeguard life and property during emergencies in all buildings occupied by NIH employees. They ensure that the Occupant Evacuation Plan has been executed on their floor or area, and report the conditions, including the evacuation status, to the OEC, and they advise the location of persons needing evacuation and/or assistance by the fire department. Occupants who are deaf or hard of hearing should be personally informed of the emergency by a Floor Team or Area Team Member, supervisor or any other person. www1.od.nih.gov /oma/manualchapters/management/1430/main.html   (3826 words)

Occupant protection Research indicates that vehicle occupants have a 40 per cent better chance of surviving a crash if they are wearing a seat belt (this statistic is obviously dependent upon the severity of the crash). That means that stopping is relatively gradual compared to the stopping of an unrestrained person who will fly at the vehicle's impact speed until something solid gets in the way, either inside or outside the vehicle. There is a major benefit in simply preventing occupants from being thrown out of the vehicle. www.rta.nsw.gov.au /roadsafety/advertisingcampaigns/occupantprotection   (811 words)

NTSB - Bus Crashworthiness Three head injuries were predicted for the unrestrained occupants, four for the lap belt restrained occupants and five for the lap/shoulder belt restrained occupants. Four chest injuries were predicted for the unrestrained occupants, four for the lap belt restrained occupants and three for the lap/shoulder belt restrained occupants. One head injury was predicted for the unrestrained occupants, four for the lap belt restrained occupants and two for the lap/shoulder belt restrained occupants. www.ntsb.gov /events/1999/buscrash/details.htm   (1433 words)

GHSA Issues & Perspectives Occupant protection systems are safety features designed to protect occupants of motor vehicles in the event of a crash. Occupant protection systems can be 'active,' as in the case of safety belts and child restraints, or 'passive,' as in the case of air bags. Some laws cover only front-seat occupants and some exempt certain classes of vehicles (pick-ups or vans, for example.) Some laws allow occupants to ride in cargo areas of pick-ups and in other states the law is silent on riding in the backs of pick-up trucks. www.naghsr.org /html/issues/occupantprotection.html   (1174 words)

ITS: Occupant File and Print Server Occupant is divided into two main areas: occupant\users and occupant\public. Anyone who has an ITS account is automatically assigned a home directory on Occupant, designed for personal storage and subject to a user quota.

Center for the Built Environment: Occupant Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) Survey CBE's Occupant IEQ Survey allowed us to quickly identify the causes of complaints in our buildings, and was an invaluable tool in communicating with senior management to revise our priorities. Occupant surveys are an invaluable source of information for improving the performance of buildings. To complement our occupant survey, CBE has developed a prototype survey designed to gather information on building performance from the perspective of operations and maintenance staff. www.cbe.berkeley.edu /RESEARCH/survey.htm   (453 words)

Rental Agreement Occupant has 5 days after requesting the reservation and making contact with Lessor in which to mail back, fax or email the signed Rental Agreement and send payment of the first installment of the rent (via check or credit card using Paypal), or the reservation shall be cancelled. The Occupant agrees to conduct himself and to require others on the premises with his consent to conduct themselves, whether known to Occupant or not, in a manner that will not disturb his neighbors’ peaceful enjoyment of their premises. The Occupant further covenants and agrees that he will not use nor permit to be used the premises for any improper, illegal, or immoral purposes, nor will he use, permit, or suffer the same to be used by any person or persons in any noisy, dangerous, offensive, illegal or improper manner. mysite.verizon.net /vze779pz/wintergreenhaven/id7.html   (1375 words)

MADD Online: Occupant Protection For light truck occupants, safety belts reduce the risk of fatal injury by 60 percent and moderate-to-critical injury by 65 percent. During 2003, 8,089 passenger vehicle occupants under 15 years old were involved in fatal crashes. In 2003, 36 percent of passenger car occupants and 40 percent of light truck occupants involved in fatal crashes were unrestrained.  (NHTSA, 2004) www.madd.org /stats/0,1056,2371,00.html   (408 words)

Occupant Safety   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) Occupant protection plays an important role at TSTC by responding to community safety needs. Classes are taught on a variety of occupant protection devices, including safety belts, airbags, and child safety seats. Thus, the proper use and installation of child safety seats remains a cornerstone for occupant protection. www.vcu.edu /cppweb/tstc/occupant.html   (403 words)

Appendix B to the Preamble - Glossary They accomplish this either by incorporating various technologies that enable the air bags to adapt their performance to a wider range of occupant sizes and crash conditions and/or by being designed to both inflate in a manner that does not pose such risk as well as to provide improved protection. Since an unbelted occupant needs the protection of an air bag at lower speeds than a belted occupant does, the air bag would deploy at a lower threshold for an unbelted occupant. In crashes involving comparable reductions in velocity, an unrestrained occupant would hit the vehicle interior (i.e., steering wheel, instrument panel and windshield) at a much higher speed in a crash with a stiff pulse than in a crash with a soft pulse. www.nhtsa.dot.gov /cars/rules/rulings/AAirBagSNPRM/AppB.html   (1655 words)

National Safety Belt Coalition - Why Safety Belts?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) At the moment of impact, unbelted occupants are still travelling at the vehicle's original speed. In a crash, occupants tend to move toward the point of impact, not away from it. Even after the occupant's body comes to a complete stop, the interal organs are still moving forward. www.nsc.org /traf/sbc/sbcwhy.htm   (364 words)

Prevention Institute: Child Occupant Protection: Current Issues A child belonging to this age group is often referred to as "the forgotten child" because she is not covered by restraint laws mandating anything other than the use of adult seatbelts, which are increasingly recognized as being ineffective for this age group. The occupant fatality rate per 100,000 population for children between the ages of 0 to 4 has decreased significantly over the past couple decades, from 4.68 in 1977 to 2.84 in 2000. The fatality rate for children between the ages of 5 and 9 has stayed roughly the same in the past 25 years, and in 2000 was actually higher than it was in 1982. www.preventioninstitute.org /traffic_child.html   (2236 words)

Occupant Sensors Occupant sensors will be an integral part of smart airbag systems of the future. The A-pillar is also a common location for handle grips, which means occupants might place their arms near the pillar. Recommendation - Occupant sensor systems that detect occupant mass and position relative to the airbag module will be the most useful. www.tierone.com /occsensexcerpt.html   (518 words)

Canesta, Inc. | Occupant Safety To date, the industry has primarily utilized weight- or pressure-based sensors which are built into the seat to classify the occupant (for instance, as a large adult or small child) and instruct the airbag to deploy at full or reduced intensity. These existing systems are limited in their functionality, as there are a variety of situations in which they can be fooled and they also pose a number of challenges to the automaker in the production of the vehicle. Personalization – identify the occupant or driver when they enter the vehicle and automatically adjust cabin settings such as radio, seat position, air-conditioning, steering wheel to their preference. www.canesta.com /html/occupant_safety.htm   (551 words)

THE INTERNATIONAL LAW OF OCCUPATION Third, occupants have regularly failed to acknowledge their rules as "occupations." This unhappy tendency has reflected state government desires to justify their forcible actions, their interests in establishing titles to territory, and their recognitions that "occupation" has acquired a pejorative connotation (pp. No occupant in the past two decades has established a temporary government that could effectively balance the conflicting interests of the occupant and occupied, nor did any occupant (except for Israel) invoke the Hague Regulations or the Fourth Geneva Convention to justify its measures. Occupants who deny its applicability are likely not to consider themselves bound by its commands, even on a de facto basis. www.unt.edu /lpbr/subpages/reviews/benvenis.htm   (1134 words)

Office of the Vice President for University Administration ASU Department of Environmental Health and Safety’s primary objective is to identify safety hazards and ensure the occupants correct and maintain exit discharge systems in order to ensure safe access and egress and establish occupancy limits as necessary by code or to create a safer environment. The user of an area of a facility (e.g., classroom, lecture hall, auditorium) must be aware of the maximum occupant load of the area and ensure the area does not exceed the limits. In addition to calculating the maximum occupant load of an area of a facility as well as the entire facility, the width of all aisles, stairways, corridors, passageways, and exit doors must be determined in order to accommodate a safe and efficient egress. www.asu.edu /uagc/EHS/occupanc.htm   (976 words)

Crashworthiness Litigation: Recognizing the Automotive Design Defect Case If the occupant was indeed belted but ended up getting ejected or otherwise was thrown out of his or her seat belt, the seat belt may have come unlatched during the collision, due to a seat belt buckle defect. Occupants – particularly children and short women who sit in a far forward position – have been killed and seriously injured by air bags in collisions that were otherwise easily survivable. Occupants seated in these seats can be injured when they slide up the collapsed seat back and strike portions of the vehicle interior. www.alllaw.com /articles/personal_injury/CrashWorthinessLit_2.asp   (972 words)

The OCCUPANT Table - Data Element Index The date the row was extract from FacilityCenter to the Data Warehouse. There are no limits to the number of Occupants that can be assigned to a room. Erroneously named, this is actually the Penn ID of the person who performed the last update to the occupant assignments. www.upenn.edu /computing/da/dw/space/occupant.e.html   (222 words)

Experts.com - The Premiere Online Experts Directory The biomechanical expert must be able to explain clearly the occupant kinematics needed to the impact with the interior of the vehicle and also perform calculations to determine the force of such an impact. There are cases where occupants improperly use their seatbelt and these considerations must be known and considered in the analysis. In rear occupant head injuries in the front seat back must be considered a strong mechanism of injury especially if the rear seat occupants have only lap belt. www.experts.com /showArticle.asp?id=137   (1279 words)

The Evolution of Front Airbags   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11) These airbags were created primarily to reduce the risk of airbag-related injury or death to children and small adults by either deploying with less force or not at all, depending on the situation. Sensors, usually located in the seat and seatbelts, sent signals to the vehicle's computer providing information such as the weight and seating position of the occupant and if he or she was wearing a seatbelt. Each system must include sensors to detect the size of the occupant, the seat position, seatbelt use and the severity of the crash. www.edmunds.com /ownership/safety/articles/45863/article.html   (1777 words)

Occupant Kinematics Occupant kinematics deals with the movement of the occupants within the confines of the vehicle, and in ejection cases, through the occupant compartment and into the area of final rest. Occupant kinematics are routinely analyzed in seat belt cases, rollover cases, crashworthiness cases, and matters involving the question of "who was driving"?. In making forensic determinations of occupant kinematics as well as defining pre-crash seated position, various methodologies of accident reconstruction such as vehicle dynamics, Delta-V, principle direction of force, crash pulse, vehicle structural collapse, energy dissipation, and momentum balance are utilized. www.collisionresearchltd.com /pages/occupant_kinematics.php   (162 words)

ITS: Occupant Quotas This page details the types of user quotas that are enforced on Occupant and also gives instructions on how to determine how much space you are using and what happens if you exceed your quota. If you have any questions or requests regarding Occupant's quotas, please contact win-admins@caltech.edu.

Frontal offset test information Crashing the full width of a vehicle into a rigid barrier maximizes energy absorption so that the integrity of the occupant compartment, or safety cage, can be maintained well in all but very high-speed crashes. Manufacturers supply information on basic vehicle and test parameters, measurements of intrusion into the occupant compartment, injury data recorded on a dummy representing an average-size man in the driver seat, and video of the tests. Newer vehicles have much stronger occupant compartments, in large part because of the steps automakers have taken in the past decade to earn good ratings in the Institute's frontal tests. www.iihs.org /ratings/frontal_test_info.html   (1362 words)
