Factor of safety

Factor of safety (FoS) can mean either the fraction of structural capability over that required, or a multiplier applied to the maximum expected load (force, torque, bending moment or a combination) to which a component or assembly will be subjected. The two senses of the term are completely different in that the first is a measure of the reliability of a particular design, while the second is a requirement imposed by law, standard, contract or custom. Careful engineers refer to the first sense as a factor of safety, or, to be explicit, a realized factor of safety, and the second sense as a design factor, but usage is inconsistent and confusing, so engineers need to be aware of both.

The realized factor of safety is just a definition and needs no elaboration.

Appropriate design factors are based on several considerations. Prime considerations are the accuracy of load and wear estimates, the consequences of failure, and the cost of overengineering the component to achieve that factor of safety. For example, components whose failure could result in substantial financial loss, serious injury or death usually can use a safety factor of four or higher (often ten). Non-critical components generally have a design factor of two. An interesting exception is in the field of aerospace engineering, where design factors are 1.50 – 3.00 because the costs associated with structural weight are high. This low design factor is why aerospace parts and materials are subject to more stringent quality control.

A factor of safety of 1.0 implies no “overengineering” (not exceeding design requirements). Many government agencies and companies require the use of a Margin of Safety (M.S.) to describe the ratio of the strength of the structure to the requirements. The relationship between M.S. and FoS is M.S. = FoS − 1. Margin of Safety is sometimes, but infrequently, used as a percentage, i.e., a 0.50 M.S vs. a 50% M.S. The equivalent factor of safety would be 1.5.


Real world examples


Steam boilers

The factor of safety used in steam boilers is usually between 8 and 10. For example, if the required working pressure is 250 pounds per square inch (psi), and the safety factor is 10, the bursting point must be not less than 2,500 psi. This allows a large margin of safety in a new boiler but, as the boiler ages and is affected by corrosion, the margin of safety will diminish. For this reason, steam boilers are hydraulically tested, at regular intervals, to 1.5 times or 2 times the working pressure.


Pharmaceuticals

Even the most gentle of drugs, such as penicillin, can cause death when administered at excessively large quantities. The farther away the effective dose (ED) is from the lethal dose (LD) defines the margin of safety, or the natural, built-in safety factor, for that particular drug. For example, the effective dose of penicillin, i.e. the quantity that will be effective in treating an infection, is so vastly minute in relation to the multiplicity of doses necessary to prove fatal that penicillin is considered an extremely safe drug.

Digitographer

A digitographer, or digital imaging technician, works in collaboration with a cinematographer on work flow, systemization, signal integrity and image manipulation, to achieve the highest image quality and creative goals of cinematography in the digital realm.

A digitographer’s role is especially prevalent with the widespread use of HD technology, in assisting cinematographers normally used to film stock in achieving their desired look.

A digitographer has also been used in the industry to describe a digital photographer.

Analog sampled filter

An analog sampled filter an electronic filter that is a hybrid between an analog and a digital filter. The input signal is analog, and usually stored in capacitors. The time domain is discrete, however. Distinct analog samples are shifted through an array of holding capacitors as in a bucket brigade. Analog adders and amplifiers do the arithmetic in the signal domain, just as in an analog computer.

Note that these filters are subject to aliasing phenomena just like a digital filter, and anti-aliasing filters will usually be required. See: Filter design

Companies such as Linear Technology and Maxim produce integrated circuits that implement this functionality. Filters up to the 8th order may be implemented using a single chip. Some are fully configurable; some are pre-configured, usually as low-pass filters.

Due to the high filter order that can be achieved in an easy and stable manner, single chip analog sampled filters are often used for implementing anti-aliasing filters for digital filters. The analog sampled filter will in its turn need yet another anti-aliasing filter, but this can often be implemented as a simple 1st order low-pass analog filter consisting of one series resistor and one capacitor to ground.

Strikeout-to-walk ratio

In baseball statistics, strikeout-to-walk ratio (K/BB) is a measure of a pitcher’s ability to control pitches; calculated as: strikeouts divided by bases on balls. A pitcher that possesses a great K/BB ratio is usually a dominant power pitcher, such as Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, Curt Schilling, or Ben Sheets. However, in 2005, Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Carlos Silva easily led the major leagues in K/BB ratio with 7.89:1, despite only striking out 75 batters over 188⅓ innings pitched; he walked only 9 batters.

A hit by pitch is not counted statistically as a walk and therefore not counted in the strikeout-to-walk ratio. At youth levels where hit by pitches are more common, including hit by pitches may be a more useful statistic. Walks plus hits per inning pitched can also be used to compare pitchers.

Gamma counter

A Gamma Counter is a machine to measure gamma radiation emitted by a radionuclide. Up to 300 samples are placed in sealed vials or test tubes, and move along a serpentine track on a horizontal plain. One at a time, they move down inside a shielded detector, set to measure specific energy windows characteristic of the particular isotope. Depending on the half life and concentration of the sample, measurement times vary from 0.02 minute to one minute. Gamma counters are standard tools used in the research and development of new radioactive compounds used for diagnosing and treating disease, (as in PET scanning). A representative unit is the “Gamma 8000″, (produced by Beckman) which can be programmed for measuring up to ten different radionuclides.

Image scanning

Document Scanning or Image Scanning is the action or process of converting text and graphic paper documents, photographic film, photographic paper or other files to digital images. This “analog” to “digital” conversion process (A<D) is required for computer users to be able to view electronic files.

Patch-Through Access

Patch-Through Access refers to a security clearance used in various applications. According to the application, it may be regarded as a high or a low level security clearance.

  • In telephony and some corporate/defense applications, Patch-Through is a low level clearance, only allowing the user to use the telephony station (router) as a method to be put through to another service, sometimes on a national phone network, but more often on a small telephony network owned by the company who provides the service, but not access any services local to the station, or modify the options of the station itself.
  • In security and most other corporate applications, Patch-Through is a high level clearance, because it allows the user to utilise company funds in order to make external calls (usually to international or other high-rate locations). In this sense, Patch-Through is useful because it saves employees who work from home for having to get company rebates for expensive calls made on behalf of the company.

Paper Moon

Paper Moon may refer to:

  • Paper Moon (film), a 1973 American motion picture comedy directed by Peter Bogdanovich
  • Paper Moon (TV series), a 1974-1975 series on the ABC television network
  • Paper Moon (band), an indie rock band from Winnipeg, Canada
  • “Paper Moon” (song), a Greek song, Hartino to Fengaraki, by Manos Hadjidakis

Paper moon may also refer to:

  • “It’s Only a Paper Moon” (song), a jazz standard, first published in 1933
  • A spherical paper lantern

Product requirements document

A product requirements document (PRD) is used in product marketing to plan and execute new products. A PRD is often created after a marketing requirements document (MRD) has been written and been given approval by management, and is usually written before (or at least concurrently with) a technical requirements document. It is designed to allow people within a company to understand what a product should do and how it should work. PRDs are most frequently written for software products, but can be used for any type of product.

Typical components of a software product requirements document are:

  • Title & author Information
  • Purpose and scope, from both a technical and business perspective
  • Stakeholder identification
  • Market assessment and target demographics
  • Product overview and use cases
  • Requirements, including
    • functional requirements (e.g. what a product should do)
    • usability requirements
    • technical requirements (e.g. security, network, platform, integration, client)
    • environmental requirements
    • support requirements
    • interaction requirements (e.g. how the software should work with other systems)
  • Constraints
  • Workflow plans, timelines and milestones
  • Evaluation plan and performance metrics

Not all PRDs have all of these components. In particular, PRDs for other types of products (manufactured goods, etc.) will eliminate the software-specific elements from the list above, and may add in additional elements that pertain to their domain, e.g. manufacturing requirements.

A PRD sometimes serves as a marketing requirements document as well, particularly if the product is small or uncomplicated.
