The National Institute of Standards and Technology's Intelligent Systems Division has been researching advanced three-dimensional (3D) imaging sensors and their use in manufacturing towards improving forklift safety. Experiments are presented in this paper

Security Assurance Levels: A Vector Approach to Describing Security Requirements

October 20, 2010
Author(s)
James D. Gilsinn, Ragnar Schierholz
Safety systems have used the concept of safety integrity levels (SILs) for almost two decades. This allows the safety of a component or system to be represented by a single number that defines a protection factor required to ensure the health and safety of
