Crash cushions, flexible delineators, sign boards and traffic cones are everyday sights that have become a part of our driving lives. Reactions to these equipment of bright colors and odd shapes have become second nature to most drivers today. Perhaps we have become too overly accustomed to being exposed to thousands of these signs on a daily basis, that they no longer carry much...more
Battery pack designers and engineers are responsible for performing a hazard analysis (system safety analysis) to identify the various failure modes and hazards associated with the proposed configuration and type(s) and number of batteries used. Based on this analysis, safety-related design and testing criteria are incorporated into battery pack designs. As necessary, battery pack engineers and designers also develop standard operating procedures that include methods to identify and mitigate possible battery cell and pack failures that may occur during assembly, deployment, data acquisition/retrieval, transportation, storage and disassembly/disposal.To increase the safety margin and decrease the failure rate, the hazard analysis process should be implemented during the design phase. This can be critical for battery pack designs, where a single cell failure could give rise to an increased hazard, involving a fire with multiple cells or the entire MOTOROLA GP320 Battery pack. Numerous hazard analysis methods may be used, from simple/preliminary to more complex (Vincoli, 2006). Examples include energy trace and barrier...more

O homem nasce bom; a sociedade o corrompe, dizia o filósofo Rousseau. Claro,uma criança é uma folha em branco que será preenchida pelas suas experiências e aprendizados no decorrer da vida,porém,a genética não deve ser menosprezada. Fui atacada por essas considerações filosóficas logo depois de assistir o magnífico filme italiano Vincere,do excelente cineasta Marco Bellocchio,o homem que percebeu - não com belos olhos,mas,com olhos voltados para a realidade – o nascimento de um ditador. O filme trata dos primeiros anos de Mussolini,um governante que ascendeu de uma forma inexplicável entre os italianos,embora fosse um ser humano cruel e um político equivocado,cujos destemperos colaboraram com o sofrimento e derrota do seu país na Segunda Guerra Mundial. Que se examinem os homens,aconselha Bellocchio,porque não se pode separar o homem do ditador em que ele se torna.Sábio conselho! O filme mostra Mussolini visto por Ida Dasler,uma mulher apaixonada que para segui-lo esquece tudo –família,valores,crenças – e financia o jornal Il Poppolo d'Italia,plataforma para o lançamento de Mussolini como...more
