  2. Electrical equipment in hazardous areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_equipment_in...

    Equipment can be designed or modified for safe operation in hazardous locations. The two general approaches are: Intrinsic safety Intrinsic safety, also called non-incendive, limits the energy present in a system, such that it is insufficient to ignite a hazardous atmosphere under any conditions. This includes both low power levels, and low ...

  3. Intrinsic safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_safety

    Intrinsic safety (IS) is a protection technique for safe operation of electrical equipment in hazardous areas by limiting the energy, electrical and thermal, available for ignition. In signal and control circuits that can operate with low currents and voltages, the intrinsic safety approach simplifies circuits and reduces installation cost over ...

  4. Inherent safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inherent_safety

    (Kletz originally used the term intrinsically safe in 1978, but as this had already been used for the special case of electronic equipment in potentially flammable atmospheres, only the term inherent was adopted. Intrinsic safety may be considered a special subset of inherent safety). In 2010 the American Institute of Chemical Engineers ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturally_aspirated_engine

    Typical airflow in a four-stroke engine: In stroke #1, the pistons suck in (aspirate) air to the combustion chamber through the opened inlet valve.. A naturally aspirated engine, also known as a normally aspirated engine, and abbreviated to N/A or NA, is an internal combustion engine in which air intake depends solely on atmospheric pressure and does not have forced induction through a ...

    Merge with Intrinsically safe - I agree that the two articles should be merged; they are about the same subject. The main article should be Intrinsic safety as that is the name of the subject. "intrinsically safe" is an adjectival clause to describe equipment that is intrinsically safe. Canthusus 14:45, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

    The Particular Risk Analysis (PRA) looks for external events which can create a hazard such as a birdstrike or engine turbine burst. The Zonal Safety Analysis (ZSA) looks at each compartment on the aircraft and looks for hazards that can affect every component in that compartment, such as loss of cooling air or a fluid line bursting.

  9. Memory safety - Wikipedia

    The field of computer security developed quickly thereafter, escalating with multitudes of new attacks such as the return-to-libc attack and defense techniques such as the non-executable stack [6] and address space layout randomization.
