    The main aim of this system is to smarten the infrastructure of cattle farming and to track the biological and physiological activities of cattle by implementing a noninvasive wearable by using IOT. In these, we come into picture the lightning sensor depend upon the climate it will turn on and off, temperature sensor will depend upon room temperature of cattle farm; methane sensor is used to check methane level in the farm; fire sensor depend upon any fire emergency and is responsible for smart lighting and also smart ventilation, it is also responsible for sprinkler actuation to make the infrastructure safer and smarter. We are also implementing automatic food releasing mechanism. We can identify the single cattle count with the help of the IR sensor

    A Comparative Expected Value Analysis Study to Determine the Cost Benefit or Cost Effectiveness of Early Discharge, Medical Transport, Home Health as Well as Home Care Devices, Services and Technologies in The United States

    Abstract It was found that Amazon products (Alexa™, Echo™, Halo™), EMRs, fire extinguishers, genome sequencing test, on-line pharmacies, remote patient monitoring, provided economic value, while emergency medical service membership programs, fire alarm subscription services, helicopter emergency medical services, home fire insurance policies, home fire sprinklers, and home security systems were not found to have provided economic value. Tele-health (virtual office visits) would provide economic value if most tele-health visits replaced existing in-person visits and the low cost virtual didn’t drive demand for unnecessary visits. Robotic surgery technologies provide economic value if fully utilized (high patient demand to reduce overhead costs per procedure) in a facility with little excess capacity as long as it did not compete with non-robotic surgical offerings at the present facility. AEDs provide economic value if appropriately placed in high demand locales based on future probability of use

    Child Development Center- Fire Protection Analysis

    This report contains two separate forms of analysis, Prescriptive-Based Analysis and Performance-Base Analysis. The Prescriptive Analysis discusses an overview of the building and its features whereas the Performance-Based Analysis discusses the building meeting applicable codes and standards as discussed in NFPA 101 Life Safety Code 2012 Edition, Unified Facilities Code (UFC), International Building Code (IBC) 2012 Edition, and the SFPE Handbook of Fire Protection Engineering. The Child Development Center (CDC) was analyzed as a new construction building. There are also noted assumptions within the report where necessary information about the building could not be obtained due to information restrictions from the Government. The building discussed in this report is the Child Development Center (CDC) located in an area titled Murphy Canyon on Naval Base San Diego. Due to the nature of the building and the citizens that utilize it, Common Access Cards (CAC) are required when visiting the building. The CDC is initially considered a Group I-4 Occupancy, but can be labeled as a Group E occupancy due to the building having egress exits in each classroom to the immediate outside. This building has no immediate adjacent building surrounding it. The prescriptive-based analysis within this document confirms that the building meets requirements of NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, NFPA 13, NFPA 17, NFPA 72, NFPA 92, Unified Facilities Code, and IBC. The report is also based on a CDC building expansion, which can be conducted at a later date. The performance-based analysis looks into the possibilities of fires arising in a staff break room. The software that aided this report for modeling each fire scenario is Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). The break room fire model involved a runaway coffee pot scenario that spreads to a polyurethane couch. In the event of a failure of the heat detection device located in the break room, the time from detection and notification by the quick response sprinkler would not allow enough time to instruct the occupants to leave the building before untenable conditions occurred. Also, the desired fire suppression system flow demand does not meet the requirement set at 2,000 gpm. The flow test to the building shows a flow rate that is approximately 40 gpm less than the 50% reduction flow rate of the desired 2,000 gpm system demand. One recommendation to the project building would be the installation of a fire pump. Due to the nature of the building owner and operator, limited pictures and as-built drawings could be taken due to security measures

    Unwanted False Alarms (BCA Classifications 2 & 3)

    Get PDF
    The Australasian Fire Authorities Council (AFAC) applies an integrated approach to emergency service operations in Australia and New Zealand. With recent increases in unwanted false alarms, AFAC identified kitchen exhaust systems as a potential solution to reduce unwanted false alarms in residential buildings. Our team conducted a cost-benefit analysis on installing kitchen exhaust systems and determined it is cost-effective to install local exhaust in low-rise but not high-rise buildings. Through our findings, we recommend investigation into alternative solutions

    Development in building fire detection and evacuation system-a comprehensive review

    Get PDF
    Fire is both beneficial to man and his environment as well as destructive and deadly among all the natural disasters. A fire Accident occurs very rarely, but once it crops up its consequences will be devastating. The early detection of fire will help to avoid further consequences and saves the life of people. During the fire accidents, it is also important to guide people within the building to exit safely. Because of this, the paper gives a review of literature related to recent advancements in building fire detection and emergency evacuation system. It is intended to provide details about fire simulation tools with features, suitable hardware, communication methods, and effective user interface
