Environmental sensors Sample Clauses

Environmental sensors. Another challenge is represented from MEMS-based sensors (accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, and physiological or biometric sensors), worn on different parts of the body, used for recognition of such activities as walking, running and climbing up stairs, or physiological parameters. Also textile sensors are becoming an interesting promise for daily monitoring of vital signal: they could be integrated in smart shirt with both physiological ECG and physical activity detectible sensors to improve the accuracy of the patient diagnosis (Xxx Y.D. et al., 2009). R&D trends in this important class of enabling technologies include the development of new families of contactless sensors, such as 3D CMOS image sensors. In surveillance and reconnaissance applications, CMOS image sensors are able to extract visual information from the geometry of visible surfaces, interpret the 3D coordinate data, and capture both colour and depth images simultaneously (Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx V. et al., 2009). One example is the Microsoft Kinect motion sensor that was released at the end of 2010 for use as a game controller for Microsoft’s 360 game terminal. The infrared projector and camera of the sensor make it possible to sense the observed scene and track the movement of individuals in three dimensions. Kinect-based, real-time, three dimensional tracking is a new approach in AAL (Ambient Assisted Living) applications. Many solutions have been presented that are built using the Kinect motion capture system. One example is Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx’s (Xxxxxxxx J., 2011) exploration of how the Kinect camera can be applied to AAL systems and to design an application which can solve basic AAL tasks, such as fall detection, gesture recognition and ADL activity recognition. This is just one example as many projects have use the Kinect motion capture for AAL proof of concept.

Party shall ensure that no person is permitted: (i) to use tobacco products or tobacco substitutes as defined in 7 V.S.A. § 1001 on the premises, both indoor and outdoor, of any licensed child care center or afterschool program at any time; (ii) to use tobacco products or tobacco substitutes on the premises, both indoor and in any outdoor area designated for child care, health or day care services, kindergarten, pre-kindergarten, elementary, or secondary education or library services; and (iii) to use tobacco products or tobacco substitutes on the premises of a licensed or registered family child care home while children are present and in care. Party will refrain from promoting the use of tobacco products for all clients and from making tobacco products available to minors. Failure to comply with the provisions of the federal law may result in the imposition of a civil monetary penalty of up to $1,000 for each violation and/or the imposition of an administrative compliance order on the responsible entity.

  • Environmental Hazards (a) Except for matters described in Section 18(b), Borrower shall not cause or permit any of the following:

  • Environmental Health and Safety i. Environment, Health and Safety Performance. Seller acknowledges and accepts full and sole responsibility to maintain an environment, health and safety management system ("EMS") appropriate for its business throughout the performance of this Contract. Buyer expects that Seller’s EMS shall promote health and safety, environmental stewardship, and pollution prevention by appropriate source reduction strategies. Seller shall convey the requirement of this clause to its suppliers. Seller shall not deliver goods that contain asbestos mineral fibers.

  • Environmental Remediation Failure to remediate (or pursue the remediation process with due diligence and good faith) within the time period required by law or governmental order, (or within a reasonable time in light of the nature of the problem if no specific time period is so established), environmental problems in violation of Applicable Law related to Properties of the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries where the estimated cost of remediation is in the aggregate in excess of Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000), in each case after all administrative hearings and appeals have been concluded.

  • Environmental Contamination Neither Party shall in any event be liable to the other Party for any costs whatsoever resulting from the presence or release of any environmental hazard such Party did not cause or contribute to causing. Each Party shall, at the other Party's request, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other Party, each of its officers, directors and employees from and against any losses, damages, claims, demands, suits, liabilities, fines, penalties and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) that arise out of or from (i) any environmental hazard that such Party, its contractors or agents caused in the work locations or (ii) the presence or release of any environmental hazard for which such Party is responsible under Applicable Law.
