46. PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT AT PRODUCTION

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is designed to protect the skin and respiratory organs from the ingress of radioactive substances (RS), poisonous substances (S) and biological agents (BS). In accordance with this, personal protective equipment is divided by appointment for respiratory protection, skin protection and medical protective equipment.

Depending on the from the principle of protection all PPE are divided into insulating (completely isolating a person from environmental factors) and filtering (purifying the air from harmful impurities).

By manufacturing method all PPE are divided into industrial ones, which are made in advance, and improvised ones, made by the population themselves from improvised means.

In addition, there are personal PPE (intended for certain units) and non-standard (intended to provide units and the population in addition to or instead of the standard ones).

Respiratory protection equipment:

1) filtering - civil gas masks (GP-5, GP-7), combined arms RSh-4, PMG-2), children's (DP-6, PDF-Sh); respirators for adults R-2, for children R-2D, industrial RPG-67; the simplest means of protection (cotton-gauze bandages, anti-dust fabric masks);

2) insulating: IP-4, IP-5, KIP-5, KIP-7, etc. The choice of gas masks (filtering or insulating, industrial or civil, etc.) is determined on the spot by the relevant formations, depending on the nature of the emergency and environmental conditions.

Skin protection products designed to protect open areas of the body, clothing, shoes from ingress of AOHV, RV and BS; distinguish:

1) filtering skin protection means: ZFO-58 - protective filtering clothing - cotton overalls impregnated with chemisorption chemicals; improvised means - ordinary, everyday clothes (tracksuits, raincoats, mittens, boots). To increase the protective properties, clothing can be pre-impregnated with a soap-oil emulsion; for the preparation of which a piece of laundry soap is ground on a grater and dissolved in 0,5 l of vegetable oil.

2) insulating skin protection equipment: OZK (combined arms protective kit), L-1 (light insulating suit) and others, which are made of rubberized fabric. They are equipped with certain formations to eliminate an emergency. The time spent in insulating clothing is limited due to a violation of thermoregulation processes and depends on weather conditions.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Mini air conditioner Sony Reon Pocket 5 09.05.2024

Summer is a time for relaxation and travel, but often the heat can turn this time into an unbearable torment.

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Fujitsu sells SSDs under its own brand 05.02.2012

Fujitsu has launched retail sales of two of its SSDs. Unfortunately, their belonging to any series is not specified, only the internal marking of one of the models is given - HLACC2031A-G1. Products are currently only available in the Asia-Pacific region.

Both models are based on the SandForce SF-2281 controller and are equipped with Micron's MLC NAND memory, which can be 120 or 240 GB. Data read speeds are the same in both cases - 550 MB / s, but the write speeds are different: 520 MB / s for the 240 GB model and 500 MB / s for the 120 GB model. In addition, drives have different performance: the manufacturer assigns an IOPS (operations per second) value of 40 to a product with a smaller volume. A model with a larger volume is characterized by a performance of 000 IOPS.

SSDs, regardless of version, support AES data encryption with a key length of 128 or 256 bits, the TRIM function, and a SATA 6 Gb / s interface. The declared time between failures is also the same - at least 1 hours.

The SSDs are packaged in 100,2mm x 69,85mm x 9,5mm cases and backed by a three-year warranty. Fujitsu's SSD data pricing is $120 for the 200 GB model and $240 for the 420 GB model.
