High Rise Building

With the rapid development of urban construction and the increasing number of high-rise buildings, many problems have arisen, one of which is fire. High-rise building fires are developing rapidly, and it is difficult to extinguish them, which causes great losses and seriously threatens people’s safety in production and life. Early warning of high-rise building fire is an important means to prevent fire. In this paper, aiming at high-rise building fires, the causes of high-rise building fires in 2019 are analyzed statistically, and the causes of high-rise building fires are summarized. An intelligent early warning system of high-rise building fire based on multi-dimensional data fusion is proposed. Based on the actual forecast data, the early warning system based on multi-dimensional data fusion is analyzed through Matlab simulation, thus verifying the feasibility and reliability of the established fire early warning system. The research results have certain guiding significance for high-rise building fire warning.

Immersion Hypothermia

In military assaults on hostile shores made jointly by troop-carrying helicopters and landing craft, some vehicles will be damaged by enemy fire, forcing their surviving personnel into the sea. These combat survivors, suddenly exposed to cold water, will in minutes be subject to rapid muscular immobilization followed by immediate death from immersion hypothermia. Conventional methods and equipment for search and rescue are inadequate in providing a rapidly deployed, thermally protected, flotation platform effective enough to keep multiple numbers of survivors alive until rescued. This inability to rapidly rescue multiple numbers of disaster victims is present on land as well. High-rise building fires and inaccessible areas such as mountains pose a challenge to rapid rescue methods utilizing aircraft. The authors of this paper examine the present methods and equipment utilized in aircraft search and rescue. By creating scenarios of various possible events, methods are suggested to improve techniques by using a helicopter-extractable cold weather life raft (HECWLR). The HECWLR was designed, prototypes constructed, and successfully tested. The HECWLR potentially provides the means of rapidly rescuing disaster survivors in multiple numbers on both sea and on land.
