29 Citations | The work presented in this paper shows that a system of gas sensors, etc., is capable of detecting fires faster than a system of two ordinary smoke detectors, without an increased rate of unwanted alarms. |
| Based on the work discussed here, the author suggests that a new test standard be implemented to evaluate ionization-type smoke detectors. | |
05 Jan 2009 | It was found that smoke detectors activate sooner if they are near the ceiling, if they are in structures with closed exterior door, if they have lower activation temperatures, and if they are in the fire room versus an adjoining room. |
01 Feb 2017 13 Citations | To avoid huge scale damage joined to the smoke, smoke detection method should have an important detection rate. |
29 Jul 2011 15 Citations | By adopting smoke detector and temperature detector and using a variable threshold alert algorithm with temperature compensation, the accuracy of fire alarm is improved. |
| Whereas the self-reported prevalence of home smoke detectors is high in our study population, other fire safety practices are suboptimal. | |
22 Citations | However, the learning of smoke representation in the detectors will be restricted by the appearance gap between real and synthetic smoke samples, which will cause a significant performance drop. |
23 Citations | These characteristics of smoke detector usage and acquisition should be considered in targeting future intervention strategies. |
23 Citations | The sensors are best for combination with other techniques, such as smoke detectors. |
9 Citations | The results of these experiments show that the smoke detectors, especially the ionization detector, are sensitive to cooking fumes and nuisance alarms are easy to happen. |
17 Citations | Circumstances of the fire, the detection equipment, and occupant characteristics must be considered when evaluating smoke alarm performance. |
101 Citations | Alarm algorithms utilizing ionization detector smoke measurements proved to be more effective than measurements from photoelectric detectors. |
57 Citations | The current alarm algorithm resulted in better overall performance than the commercial smoke detectors, by providing both improved nuisance source immunity with generally equivalent or faster response times. |
