Fixed objects

Are there fixed objects that may cause injury, such as sharp edges on equipment ... 

Stii facc-following devices use a mechanical linkage between two floating objects or between a floating and a fixed object to produce useful mechanical power. This mechanical power can either be connected directly to a generator or transferred to a working fluid, such as water or air, which drives a turbine generator. 

To use the device, fasten the stick securely to a fixed object near the charge to be fired. Locate the trip wire in such a manner that the intended target will trip over it, or run it to a concealed position where it can be controlled by the operator. Check the circuit to be sure it is open before making final connections to battery and blasting cap. 

To use this device, firmly lash the unloaded rifle to a fixed object such as a stake or tree. See Figure 20. Tie a long pull cord or trip wire to the trigger and test the empty weapon once or twice to see that the trigger moves freely when pulled and that the firing pin snaps forward. 

It is often convenient to define a fixed object or value and associate it with a particular type.7 Often, we want to associate the constant with the type of which the constant is a member. For example, the Number type has a constant 0, a number our Grade type has constants pass, A, B, and so on, each of which is a grade. 

Even more radically, these objects are recreated and re-domesticated in the process, and the place where we leave off and turfgrass starts (as well as the reverse) becomes extremely murky neither of us, so late in this game, excludes the other. Nor are either of us masters or slaves of the other, fluid subjects to the others fixed object. But instead, as Donna Haraway insists, we are com-panion species, constantly subjecting and resubjecting one another. 

Dismantling operations will create materials that are heavy and unwieldy. Handling heavy objects will create a risk of damaging structures and equipment still in operation or intended for abandonment in place. Workers could also incur risks. The placement and use of lifting equipment must be carefully planned to minimize the possibility of boom overload, collision of a boom or load with fixed objects, and contact with energized electrical distribution lines. 

Nystagmus Involuntary rotatory, horizontal, or vertical movements of the eyes most noticeable when gazing at rapidly moving objects or at fixed objects in the peripheral field of view. 

Friction-Fuzed Land Mine consisted of a wooden box 13" long, 3" wide and 2.37" high contg 5 blocks of cast PA or TNT (3.5 lbs), detonator or igniter. To the igniter was attached a trip wire which extended out thru the end of the box and was secured to a tree or other fixed object (pp 218-19, Fig 164)... 

We want to learn how to quantize the radiation field. As a first step, consider a continuous elastic system. Any classical continuous elastic system in one dimension can be treated by a normal-mode analysis. Consider an elastic string of length a [m], tied at both ends to some fixed objects, with density per unit length p [kg m ], and tension, or Hooke s law force constant kH [N m-1]. The transverse displacements of the string along the x axis can be described by a transverse stretch y(x, t) at any point x along the string and at a time t. One can describe the y(x, t) as a Fourier sine series in x ... 

Locations of expansion joints in trenches must be planned, not only to accommodate thermal expansion and brick growth, but to protect brick at outside corners from being pushed off the membrane by back pressure from deformable elastomeric material in the expansion joints. In trenches, therefore, in addition to the normal spacing of expansion joints and the placing of expansion joints around fixed objects and over all points of movement and cold seams and control joints in the substrate, at not more than 20 ft. intervals (or evenly spaced apart at lesser distances if the length does not divide evenly into such intervals) they should be placed in both directions at not more than 3 ft. or less than 2 ft. from all changes in direction and intercepts, and before all step changes in depth in trenches. 

S represents a connector for electrical wires, which explains Itself. The part with a double loop may be attached to a fixed object by means of a screw. Another electrical connector is shown in T, one part of which consists of a spiral having an eye formed at each end for receiving the screws which fasten it to its support, the other part is simply a straight wire having an eye at one end. The connection is made by inserting the straight end in the spiral. To increase the friction of the two parts, either of them may be curved more or less. 

Chemistry is the science of change. It is ironic then that, although we have become so knowledgeable about the properties of reactants and products—about the beginnings and ends of chemical journeys—we remain more often than not unsure of just how those journeys are made. Our modern armory of sophisticated spectroscopic and diffraction methods provides every expectation of a direct hit on the fixed objects represented by reactants and products, but is seldom... 

Before a test is started, the coordinates of the flare and the radiometers (see Chapter 6) used to measure radiation are determined by utilizing a laser range finder to measure distances to three fixed objects with known coordinates and a technique called "triangulation." Multiple radiometers are used to measure various radiant fluxes simultaneously. A photo of the radiation measurement system is shown in Figure 28.12. The measured radiant fluxes, through sophisticated mathematical analysis, are used to determine the coordinates of the effective "epicenter(s)" of the flame, and the radiant fraction, which is defined as the fraction of heat release from combustion that is emitted as thermal radiation [43]. Solar radiation is subtracted from the radiation measurements as appropriate. 

Operation — A forklift may not be driven up to anyone standing in front of a bench or other fixed object. No one is allowed to stand or pass under the elevated portion of an empty or loaded forklift. Unauthorized personnel may not ride on a forklift. A safe place to ride must be provided where riding on a forklift is authorized. 

Forklift strikes fixed object due to operator inattention or mechanical failure. 

Initiating event alternatives 1 and 2 are really the same, possibly differing only in impact velocity when striking a fixed object. Alternative 3 represents a less defined crash of the forklift/cask, which may produce less stress on the cask due to the yielding of the other vehicle. In addition, such an other-vehicle crash is unlikely since access to the transfer route is required to be limited during the actual transfer operation. The cask is not elevated while on the forklift in transit from the ACRR to the HCF. The cask is raised and lowered by crane and positioned for transport in a special carrier basket, previously attached to the forklift tines. In conclusion, the initiating event is chosen to be Forklift strikes a fixed object due to operator inattention or mechanical failure."... 

The design provides for on-line monitoring the state of equipment and components with the help of special diagnostic systems (noise diagnostics, monitoring the equipment vibration, detection of loose and poor fixed objects, primary-to-secondary leak monitoring). Special systems are provided for information support of the operation (safety parameters display system, equipment residual life assessment system, operator s support system). 

Traffic accidents involve collisions between two or more vehicles and collisions with fixed objects. Traffic accidents rate depends onroad category, traffic density and road location (urban areas/ out of urban areas). Traffic accident probability is usually measured per one kilometre (2nd task category). 

Explosions can cause injury by the primary blast wave and heat (primary injury), by the shrapnel thrown by the blast (secondary injury), or by the blast victim being thrown against a fixed object (tertiary injury). 

Question 12 A CMV becomes stuck in a median or on a shoulder, and has had no contact with another vehicle, a pedestrian, or a fixed object prior to becoming stuck. If a tow truck is used to pull the CMV back onto the traveled portion of the road, would this be considered an accident ...

Objective To reduce the number of accidents caused by overloading, poor load distribution and lack of clearance with fixed objects. 

Devices used to protect the head from injury. These include safety helmets or hard hats that are primarily used to protect the head from falling objects or overhead hazards industrial scalp protectors such as bump caps that protect against striking fixed objects, scalping, or entanglement and caps and hair nets, which are used to prevent the hair from coming in contact with moving machinery or the parts of machinery.
