Alarm management: Mining for groups of co-occuring alarm tags
… of chemical plants depend on the performance of alarm systems. However, a variety of contributing factors such as over-alarming, a lack of configuration management practices and a reduction in staffing levels due to budget constraints, has often led to the degradation of these systems. …

Addressing the Problem of Alarm Fatigue: Enhancing Patient Safety through Cardiac Alarm Customization
… in Southern California through enhanced cardiac alarm customization. Alarms are intended to enhance patient safety. However, unnecessary and non-actionable alarms contribute to alarm desensitization and fatigue, lessening response time to critical alerts. Alarm fatigue has become a growing …

Fork-Tailed Drongos (Dicrurus adsimilis) use different types of mimicked alarm calls in response to different alarm threats
… I propose that some of these species produce alarm mimicry in the appropriate alarm contexts, matching the context of call production by the model species whose calls are mimicked. Previous research suggests that alarm mimicry in the appropriate context could provide heterospecifics with …

Alarm for Autonomous UAV Radiation Mapping Algorithm
The purpose of this research is to create an alarm threshold algorithm for use in an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for radiation mapping purposes in the event of a nuclear disaster or use of nuclear weapons. Information from this alarm could feed into real time decision making on the UAV …

Determination of Backup Alarm Masked Threshold in Construction Noise
… the sounds that need to be heard, such as backup alarms. Therefore, such devices should provide improved signal detection in noise when compared to their passive counterparts. The masked threshold of a vehicular backup alarm was determined for audiometrically normal and non-normal hearers using …

Food theft by deceptive alarm calls in the fork-tailed drongo
Why do animals make false alarms; are false alarms truly deceptive; and if, just as in Aesop's fable 'The boy who cried wolf' , animals can learn to ignore false alarms, why doesn't deception break down? I investigated these questions in a population of habituated and individually recognisable …

Advisory and alarm stimuli optimization for a drowsy driver detection system
… carried out to identify effective advisory and alarm stimuli to be used in a drowsy driver detection system. The envisioned system has three stages. In the first stage, previously developed detection algorithms would compute online drowsiness levels. If a driver's drowsiness level exceeds a …
