Addressables decrease in size, price, grow in popularity
Article Abstract:
Reduction in price and size boosts the popularity of analog addressable systems that are now installed almost everywhere, from the smallest to the biggest application. Analog addressable systems offer benefits such as the capability to remotely check sensitivities, lower maintenance and variable sensitivities and drift compensation. According to Grinnell Fire Protection Systems' engineering manager, Rod James, most of the smaller analog addressable systems are installed in such facilities as condominiums, theaters, retirement homes and small shopping centers.

Bobm detection includes human element, integration
Article Abstract:
Bomb detection operations should be the integration of different technologies and the human element. Some of the technologies are computed tomography, X-rays, metal detectors and trace detection units. The human element includes manual searches and the determination by operators that some bags could contain bombs. The increasing speed of bomb detection equipment had led the FAA to reconsider the human factor in the performance of the systems.
