FRAM Approach for Barrier Management in Offshore Drilling
(Chapter, 2020)Accident investigations in offshore oil and gas industry indicate that inadequate barrier management has been one of the main causes of many offshore accidents. Event trees commonly have been used for safety barrier risk ... -
From the eyes of the patient: real time gaze control of medical training mannequins
(Chapter, 2018)The eyes are a central point of interaction between humans in all sorts of situations - including clinical diagnosis. While modern medical training mannequins provide a high level of realism when it comes to e.g. Cardiopulmonary ... -
Functional Safety of Railway Signaling Systems: Performance Requirements and Evaluation Methods
(Chapter, 2021)Signaling is fundamental to the safe operation of the railway, ensuring that trains are spaced safely apart and conflicting movements are avoided. Railway signals are `traffic light' devices, which tell a train driver if ... -
High-concentration freeform microtracking concentrators with single-axis external tracking
(Chapter, 2023)Microtracking concentrators enable the use of concentrator photovoltaics without the need for accurate two-axis external solar tracking. However, the wide tracking range required from stationary microtracking concentrators ... -
High-concentration wide-angle tracking integration with stacked lens arrays
(Chapter, 2019)Tracking-integration can reduce or eliminate the need for external solar tracking in CPV (concentrator photovoltaics). Previous research has shown how tracking-integrated systems can achieve high concentration ratios, wide ... -
Human-oriented assembly line balancing and sequencing model in the industry 4.0 era
(Chapter, 2020)Ergonomics plays a crucial role in the design process of manual assembly systems, since a poorly ergonomic workplace leads to injuries, accidents, and musculoskeletal disorders. Using Industry 4.0 solutions, smart technologies, ... -
