Arming station

An alarm system consists of sensors that detect different types of events an arming station that is used to turn the system on and off a control panel that receives information, processes it, and transmits the alarm and an annunciator that generates a visual and/or audible response to the alarm. When a sensor is tripped it sends a signal to a control panel, which triggers a visual or audible alarm and/or notifies a central monitoring station. A more complete description of each of the components of an alarm system is provided below. 

An arming station, which is the main user interface with the security system, allows the user to arm (turn on), disarm (turn off), and communicate with the system. How a specific system is armed will depend on how it is used. For example, while IDSs can be armed for continuous operation (twenty-four hours/day), they are usually armed and disarmed according to the work schedule at a specific location so that personnel going about their daily activities do not set off the alarms. In contrast, fire protection systems are typically armed twenty-four hours/day.

Multiple arm machines rotate molds into the different stations of the process. A three-arm machine would, for example, have one mold filling while another is heating in the oven and the third cooling in preparation of demolding. This is very efficient but requires that each stage takes the same time to accomplish. When there are three different parts, the largest part or the one with the thickest walls defines the speed for the entire process.

Box cores were collected at two stations at the Farallon Islands site and at seven stations at the Hudson Canyon site. Cores were also collected by manned submersibles the PYCES IV in the Pacific and the DMV ALVIN in the Atlantic. After each box core was taken, the water overlying the sediment was carefully removed by a siphon and several sub-cores of 66.7 mm diameter were collected for the various participants in the project. The submersible cores were collected by the mechanical arm of the submersible which pushed a 66.7 mm core liner into the sediments. On deck the cores were sectioned into 2 cm fractions for gamma radionuclide measurements and into 1 cm fractions for 210Pb measurements.

Regarding the requirements for remediation investigations and for the content of remediation plans (Article 13 (1)) to ensure that the Act and the Ordinances based on it are executed within the responsibility of the Federal Ministry of Defence and for the armed forces stationed in the Federal Republic of Germany as a result of agreements under international law by the Federal Ministry of Defence or of bodies chosen by this ministry. 

The system is based on an XP Zymate laboratory robot controlled with a 10 slot System V controller using software version XP VI.S2. The system incorporates commerdaUy available hardware, as well as custom hardware. A schematic diagram of the system is shown in Fig. 6.11. The robotic arm and the peripheral laboratory stations that the robotic arm interacts with to perform the appHcation are positioned in a circular configuration. The GC/MS is located adjacent to the bench top, such that the injection valve is close to the sipper station. Peripheral items of hardware with which the robotic arm does not directly interact with are outside the working envelope.

The issue of the use of human volunteers was considered by the Armed Forces Medical Policy Council during the early 1950 s. The Council concluded that essential data could not be obtained unless human volunteers were used, and the use of humans in medical research was authorized. By 1954, the Chemical Corps (formerly CWS) had established a framework within which to conduct human experimentation, but it lacked an adequate pool of volunteers. In 1955, it was decided that the most practical source of volunteers would be enlisted men stationed at Army installations in the vicinity of Edgewood Arsenal.
