Functional safety standards (ISO 26262, IEC 61508) require a safety life cycle which demands additional design and engineering tasks to be managed. This paper addresses how the existing FMEAs have to be extended and refocused to address and overview signal paths throughout the system. The safety standards require to classify signals with a SIL (Safety Integrity Level) and the higher the SIL the...

every year, many accidents leading to physical injuries in kindergartens, indicates that a very large percentage of them are related to the safety concerns and lack of hygiene in these places. families, due to their busy life style and working hours and also children needs of preschool education, are searching to find most suitable kindergartens for their children. selecting a kindergarten with...

This article presents the comparison of SingleGate SOI and Multi-Gate SOI MOSFETs. In the first part we have presented two main fundamental problems of the “ultimate” (sub-10-nm) MOSFET scaling of Single-Gate geometry: the exponential growth of power consumption and sensitivity to fabrication uncertainties. These factors have played the decisive role in for eventual transfer of the CMOS industr...

The maintenance dataset provided by SunWater contains information about failed assets also known as components and their corresponding failure modes. Currently, extraction of this information from the dataset been conducted in a manual manner, which is very tedious, time consuming and cumbersome work. It is necessary to discover an automatic method to decide/extract the failure mode. This paper...

This paper describes the XSAP safety analysis platform. XSAP provides several model-based safety analysis features for finiteand infinite-state synchronous transition systems. In particular, it supports library-based definition of fault modes, an automatic model extension facility, generation of safety analysis artifacts such as Dynamic Fault Trees and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis tables. ...

Aims. We present VRi photometric observations of the quadruply imaged quasar HE0435-1223, carried out with the Danish 1.54 m telescope at the La Silla Observatory. Our aim was to monitor and study the magnitudes and colors of each lensed component as a function of time. Methods. We monitored the object during two seasons (2008 and 2009) in the VRi spectral bands, and reduced the data with two i...

Qualitative simulation interpreted by the use of functional labels to identify significant system behaviour has been shown to be a useful technique for automating design analysis tasks such a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis. However, increasing sophistication of the systems to be analysed means that it is becoming increasingly important that the correct timing of these system functions be in...
