Artificial Intelligence in the Fire Service: Considerations for Implementing Artificial Intelligence into Electronic Safety Equipment

June 3, 2025
Author(s)
Christopher Sampl, Clinton Smith, Albert Bahri, David Little, Richard Reel, Ash Liu, Jonathan Hodges, Ryan Falkenstein-Smith
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more pervasive in society, including public safety. There is a growing need for safety guidelines as AI becomes more integrated within electronic safety products used within the fire service. A group comprised of

AI for Materials

April 25, 2023
Author(s)
Debra Audus, Kamal Choudhary, Brian DeCost, Aaron Kusne, Francesca Tavazza, James Warren
The application of artificial intelligence (AI) methods to materials re- search and development (MR&D) is poised to radically reshape how materials are discovered, designed, and deployed into manufactured products. Materials underpin modern life, and

EVALUATION OF A LASER SCANNER FOR LARGE VOLUME COORDINATE METROLOGY - A COMPARISON OF RESULTS BEFORE AND AFTER FACTORY CALIBRATION

October 1, 2014

Investigation of the Non-Uniqueness of the ITS-90 in the Range 660 C to 962 C

June 1, 2001
Author(s)
G T. Furukawa, Gregory F. Strouse
Preliminary results are reported on the non-uniqueness of the ITS-90 using high temperature SPRTs (HTSPRTs) in the range 660 C to 962 C. To achieve temperature stability and uniformity of the test HTSPRTs, the method employs the thermal isolation of the
