Some of the earlier PASS devices had a loud sound, but were difficult to distinguish above the noise associated with the typical fireground.
Present day PASS devices have overcome the problem of locating the source of the sound signal by modulating a pure tone, or generating a sound that consists of several intermittent tones.
The sensor that permits a PASS device to operate in the automatic mode is called the motion sensor transducer.

 PASS device - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The PASS device has two methods of being activated, manually by the firefighter or automatically when the firefighter is no longer moving.
Current standards require that the device be turned on automatically when the user turns on his or her SCBA.
Older versions of PASS devices were worn on the firefighter's belt or turn out gear and required the firefighter to turn it on separately from the SCBA.

 Tube CAD Journal: Tube regulators part 2, July 1999
And, since it is the main power-dissipating device, its reliability usually determines the reliability of the regulator as a whole.
A way to visualize the behavior of the pass device is to look at a graph of voltage vs. current, sometimes called the characteristic curves.
For the pass device to work successfully, it must be linear and have gain at all the points on the graph.

Devices using pass-by mode connect to a hub or switched port configured to monitor or mirror all traffic on the switch.
During the pass, the device monitors and inspects packets.
The ability of a monitoring device to capture all the traffic passing by a switch or hub is dependent on the amount of traffic and the hardware used.

Since it attaches to every device, it provides a generic means of accessing SCSI devices, and allows the user to access devices which have no "stan- dard" peripheral driver associated with them.
It is only necessary to configure one pass device in the kernel; pass devices are automatically allocated as SCSI devices are found.
Although this ioctl is available through the pass driver, it is of limited use, since the caller must already know that the device in question is a passthrough device if they're issuing this ioctl.

The Morrison family's lawsuit contends that a safety device worn by Morrison at the fire malfunctioned and failed to sound an alarm.
The device, called PASS, which stands for personal alert safety system, is designed to emit a loud alarm if a firefighter doesn't move for about 20 seconds.
A Survivair employee -- who had worked to fix the PASS device so water could not get in -- testified that water could cause it to emit an alarm that could not be shut off, or that it could cause the device to fail to emit an audio or visible alarm.

 United States Patent: 6,304,131
This is due to the gate of the PMOS series pass being driven from a source follower, Vdsat+Vgs, where Vt can vary from +0.2 to -0.2 V for a natural NMOS device and +0.5 to +0.9 V for a standard device.
Such variations will ultimately force the first stage amplifier output devices to enter their triode region (linear mode) when the regulator is lightly loaded, resulting in a significant reduction in loop gain and hence deterioration in regulator performance.
One conventional technique to ac common mode an output PMOS device gate and source terminals uses an impedance divider where a very low impedance is presented from the supply voltage to the device gate and a very high impedance is presented from the device gate down to ground.

E-pass filed suit in February of 2000, alleging that Palm handheld devices were being operated according to the steps of plaintiff’s U.S. ‘311 patent, an infringement.
Judge Jensen erroneously concludes that E-pass has established that Palm handheld devices are the equivalent of the E-pass “commercial embodiment”, as opposed to the e-pass patent.
Whether or not there was a device, such as the “Sharp Wizard” capable of being used according to each step in the patented method, is irrelevant.
