Protective screens. Fundamentals of safe life

Fundamentals of Safe Life Activities (OBZhD)

Protective screen - a device with a surface that absorbs, reflects or converts radiation of various types of energy. It is used to protect against radiation (for example, radiation or thermal).

Heat shields are used to localize sources of radiant heat, reduce exposure to workplaces and reduce the temperature of surfaces surrounding the workplace. The weakening of the heat flow behind the screen is due to its absorption and reflectivity and there are heat-reflecting, heat-absorbing, heat-removing screens.

By degree of transparency Screens are divided into three classes: opaque (metal water-cooled and lined asbestos, alpha, aluminum screens) translucent (from metal mesh, chain curtains, glass screens reinforced with metal mesh; all these screens can be irrigated with a water film) and transparent (from various glasses: silicate, quartz and organic, colorless, colored and metallized, film water curtains, free and flowing down the glass, etc.).

Shielding of electromagnetic fields is also necessary, as they have zones of induction and radiation. There are shielding of magnetic, electric and electromagnetic (plane wave) fields. In most cases, the same dielectric medium (air) is located on both sides of the screen. When shielding a magnetic field, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the material from which the shield is made.

Used to protect against electromagnetic fields metal sheets, providing fast attenuation of the field in the material. In many cases cost effective use instead of a metal screen wire meshes, foil and radio absorbing materials, honeycomb grids. The composition of foil materials includes diamagnetic materials (aluminum, brass, zinc). Radar absorbing materials are made in the form of elastic and rigid foams, thin sheets, loose bulk mass or potting compounds. Recently, ceramic-metal compositions have been used more often.

Shielding efficiency honeycomb grids depends on the ratio of depth to width of the cell.

Protection against ionizing radiation can be screens made of aluminum, plexiglass, glass several millimeters thick. An essential role is played by bremsstrahlung, which requires stronger protection.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Excavations at Stonehenge 15.06.2009

For the first time in almost half a century, English archaeologists have resumed excavations on the territory and in the vicinity of Stonehenge, the famous megalithic monument in the south of Great Britain. It was possible to obtain an accurate radiocarbon dating of the found burials.

The results of the excavations show that over the centuries (the structure was built and completed from about 3000 to 1600 BC), many Stonehenge stones changed their location more than once, moved, sank deeper into the ground or rose.

Initially, Stonehenge was a place of cremation and burial of the dead, then it became a religious center. Apparently, people of local tribes came here in search of healing - megaliths were considered healing. There are also traces of the presence of the Romans here.
