Tangibles

Forensic scientists work with physical evidence, ie, "data presented to a court or jury in proof of the facts in issue and which may include the testimony of witnesses, records, documents or objects." Physical evidence is teal or tangible and can HteraHy include almost anything, eg, the transient scent of perfume on the clothing of an assault victim the metaboHte of a dmg detected in the urine of an individual in a driving-under-the-influence-of-dmgs case the scene of an explosion or bullets removed from a murder victim s body. [Pg.484]

The patentee should develop and implement a poHcy for auditing its patent portfoHo in the process of paying maintenance fees to the U.S. PTO. This practice should also be used to justify the further payment of aimuities to foreign national patent offices. Maintenance fees and aimuities can constitute a substantial portion of funds expended in the protection of patents over a year s time. Further, without a tangible, real commercial value or advantage stemming from the patent, there may be Htde justification for maintaining the patent over its last five years of life. [Pg.37]

Many companies provide support for both their research personnel and technical service personnel to participate in these types of activities. Even a pohcy of one conference per person per year, if appHed correctiy, provides a great deal of value to the individual and to the organization. The returns on this investment iaclude intangibles such as additional technical contacts and enhancement of the technical reputation of the company, as well as tangibles such as personnel possessing the latest information in their fields of endeavor, allowing them to better address customer concerns and needs, and developing ideas for process and product improvements. [Pg.380]

The Copyright Act specifies that copyright extends to "original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression, now known or later developed, from which they can be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated, either dkecdy or with the aid of a machine or device" (3). Many of the requkements for copyrightabiUty may be gleaned from this provision. [Pg.263]

EinaHy, the work must be fixed in a tangible medium of expression. To a very limited extent, there are some works that are not so fixed, such as purely improvised and unrecorded pieces of music or choreography extemporaneous speeches or five, unrecorded, and ephemeral broadcasts. Unfixed works are protected by state common law copyright, and not the federal statute. Under the federal law, however, all works that are so fixed are governed exclusively by the federal statute. [Pg.263]

Energy conservation directly reduces CO2 emissions. The elimination of fugitive hydrocarbon emissions as a result of improved maintenance procedures is also a tangible step that the industry is taking. [Pg.222]

Cog enera.tion in a. Steam System. The value of energy in a process stream can always be estimated from the theoretical work potential, ie, the deterrnination of how much power can be obtained by miming an ideal cycle between the actual temperature and the rejection temperature. However, in a steam system a more tangible approach is possible, because steam at high pressure can be let down through a turbine for power. The shaft work developed by the turbine is sometimes referred to as by-product power, and the process is referred to as cogeneration. [Pg.223]

Row 3 in Table 9-24 is the return on equity (ROE) of Eq. (9-130). In this case, the net worth is the tangible net worth representing the sum of the preferred and common stocks and the surplus and undistributed profits or retained earnings, less any intangible items such as goodwill, etc. [Pg.843]

The purpose of this subsection is to outhne the basic elements of a pollution-prevention cost-accounting system that incorporates both traditional and less tangible economic variables. The intent is not to present a detailed discussion of economic analysis but to help identify the more important elements that must be considered to properly quantify pollution-prevention options. [Pg.2169]

People are more willing to accept risks from which they will receive a direct, tangible benefit. A one-company town will likely have widespread community support for the company and accept the risks of its business—it directly or indirectly provides the livelihood for most families in the community. This may not be the case in an area having a broad-based manufacturing and service economy. Here the relatively small public benefit from a new plant may be outweighed by the public s perception of the plant s risk. People are unwilling to tolerate a given level of risk unless there is a direct benefit to themselves. [Pg.60]

Tier 3 Less tangible costs, such as consumer response and confidence, employee relations, corporate image, etc. [Pg.506]

Connecting a control computer to another system is a modification and should only be carried out after systematic study of possible consequences (see Section 20.4.3). If made, data flow should be possible only in the outward direction (see text through the end of this section). All systems should be secure. Houses need doors. The doors on control systems are less tangible than those on houses but just as important. [Pg.362]

Tangible support means not only resources but also standing relative to other company priorities. PSM needs legitimacy as a business objective to hold its own in situations requiring a trade-off between long-term process improvement and short-term commercial considerations. No matter how deeply committed safety professionals may be, this legitimacy can only be conferred by top management, who ultimately must make those trade-off decisions. [Pg.7]

Setting corporate goals for PSM. These may be tangible (e.g., dollar savings, percent reduction in accidental releases, etc.) and/or philosophical (e.g., "Our company will be an industry leader in process safety"). [Pg.22]

If you decide on a formal presentation, consider having the full PSM team participate. Similarly, written communications concerning the plan (if, for example, it is broadly distributed for comment) should originate with the team. This will not only acknowledge their contribution but will also tangibly demonstrate the interdisciplinary nature of the challenge you have undertaken. [Pg.123]

The implementation plan you and your team developed (Chapter 5) provides the framework for the installation phase it defines your strategy, priorities, resources, and timetable. The specific PSM systems you have designed (Chapter 6) provide the substance they ate the activities you plan to install. What remains is the series of tasks requited to translate words on paper into tangible action. [Pg.147]

By now your PSM system has been developed, tested, and fine-tuned, and you have planned and scheduled its installation. Once more, it s time to sell. This time around, selling PSM should be easier— you have a tangible "product," with specific benefits. You tdso—Abased on the test pilot—should have some satisfied customers. [Pg.161]

Management buy-in for the PSM system depends on how clearly executives understand how the system supports corporate goals and business strategies. It is your job to make these correlations, as you did in your initial selling (Chapter 2). The difference is that you now have more tangible information to support your case. [Pg.163]

As with previous presentations to senior executives, consider involving the entire PSM team. This tangibly recognizes their contribution while reinforcing the team-oriented nature of the effort. [Pg.165]

On-the-job. Learning on the job has the advantage of being very tangible lessons learned on the job tend to be retained. The downside can include lack of continuity and followthrough, as well as potential problems with consistency. [Pg.173]
