Restraint devices

Alternative survival methods include anesthesia by inhalation (isoflurane) or injectable (tribromoethanol) anesthetics which can be used to temporarily immobilize the mice (60, 61). While isoflurane is commonly used for repeated anesthesias, tribromoethanol is contraindicated for repeated use (60). Another approach for partial immobilization of mice is to use a 50-50% O2/CO2 mixture in a sealed container (see Note 3). Another alternative is to place the mice in a restraint device in which there is a black concave area for...

There are many kinds of point-of-operation devices. They include gates or moveable barrier devices, presence sensing devices, pull-out devices, sweep devices, hold-out or restraint devices, two-hand controls, and hand-feed tools. 

Hold-Out or Restraint Devices A hold-out device is a mechanism that connects the operator s hands to some point of restraint. When properly fitted and adjusted, hands and fingers cannot reach the point-of-operation. 

A device, usually worn around the waste which, by reason of its attachment to a lanyard and lifeline or a structure, will prevent a worker from falling [Editor s Note if used in a restraint device system, the belt will prevent a worker from falling]... 

There is no specific regulation that addresses the use of seat belts on forklifts. However, as explained in OSHA s October 09, 1996 Seat Belt Policy (corrected in 2007), employers must require operators of forklifts that are equipped with operator restraint devices, including seat belts, to use the devices. In addition, OSHA may also cite employers who do not take advantage of a manufacturer operator restraint system or seat belt retrofit program. OSHA enforces the seat belt issue under the General Duty Clause of the OSH Act. 

Other machine features that offer protection include moveable barriers, automatic feed systems, presence-sensing devices, emergency stop control, hand control devices and mechanisms, such as pull-out devices, restraint devices, and two-hand control. Reduced speed control is used during setup, cleaning, and maintenance. Other safety mechanisms include antikickback devices, run controls, and foot controls.

Never enter a trailer unless the trailer has been secured with wheel chocks or trailer restraint devices. 

The trailer or truck is backed up to a dock door that is equipped with a special restraint device. 

Restraints. A restraint limits thermal reactions at equipment and line stresses or expansion movement at specifically desired locations. It may be defined as a device preventing, resisting, or limiting the free thermal movement of a piping system. Because the appHcation of a restraint reduces the inherent flexibiHty of the piping, its effect on the system is estabHshed through calculation. 

Aitemativeiy, the beam end couid have compiete rotational restraint and no transverse displacement, i.e., clamped. However, a third boundary condition exists in Rgure D-3 just as in Figure D-2. That is, an axial condition on displacement or force must exist in addition to the conditions usually thought of as comprising a clamped-end condition. Note that the block-like device at the end of the beam prevents rotation and transverse deflection. A similar device will be used later for plates. Whether all of the three boundary conditions can actually be enforced depends on the order of the differential equation set when (necessarily approximate) force-strain and moment-curvature relations are substituted in Equations (D.2), (D.4), and (D.7). 

However, infusion also has its limitations. Skilled labor is required, and the setup must be monitored over the entire period of infusion. Larger animals must be restrained, while there are special devices that make this requirement unnecessary for smaller animals. Restraint and protracted manipulation are very stressful on animals. Over a period of time, one must regularly demonstrate patency of a device, that is,... 

This chapter deals with the selective preparation, TEM/EXAFS/XPS characterization and catalysis of mono- and bimetallic nanowires and nanoparticles highly ordered in silica FSM-16, organosilica HMM-1 and mesoporous silica thin films. The mechanism of nanowire formation is discussed with the specific surface-mediated reactions of metal precursors in the restraint of nanoscale void space of mesoporous silica templates. The unique catalytic performances of nanowires and particles occluded in mesoporous cavities are also reviewed in terms of their shape and size dependency in catalysis as well as their unique electronic and magnetic properties for the device application. 

In the derivation above, the input signal C (t) is an arbitrary function of time, without any restraint condition, but, of course, it should be known CAo is the response of the impinging stream device to CAi(r) that can be measured by sampling at the outlet of the device. 

Optimally, an open restraint is used such that a mouse is placed into it and gently pulled to the back of the device... 

Micro structured devices are often specialized products designed for a single purpose. Costs for individually developed and manufactured devices are certainly higher than those for products from the shelf. The non-existent compatibility of devices from different suppliers represents another restraint, especially because many suppliers offer only a limited number of devices and thus cannot provide the complete range of unit operations.

Surgical Recovery and Training After surgery, the monkeys are allowed to recover for at least three weeks prior to the start of the study. All monkeys are observed daily for signs of pain or distress and body weights are obtained at least weekly. All monkeys should be acclimated to handling, chair restraint, and the helmet used for respiratory measurements on at least 3 occasions prior to the start of each study. In addition, prior to implantation of the telemetry device, each monkey should be acclimated to the restraint chair and helmet for approximately 60 minutes on at least six occasions to ensure that the animals have the appropriate temperament.
