Meeting announcement: Portland section of the IEEE PSES Society Tuesday 18th Sept, 2012
6:30pm networking and refreshments, 7pm meeting Intertek conference room Intertek Testing Services 22887 NE Townsend Way Fairview, OR 97024 (Google or GPS your way there, if needed) Topic: Anomalies in Product Safety; a different view Speaker: Rich Nute, our internationally known local guy Abstract: From Rich's vast experience he will be taking the group on a tour of issues that arise in product assessment according to the standards which don't always seem to make sense all the time; a bit of PS101. For instance, what are the key variables in dealing with burns from hot surfaces? Standards usually specify a max temperature, is that adequate under all circumstances. What are the key variables in dealing with an energy hazard? Or do spacings always insure adequate isolation in the face of an applied voltage? These questions are not product or standard specific but apply in a myriad of situations. Join us for this interesting evening working to wrap your mind around all of this; come and broaden your understanding in these fundamental ideas. We will also be talking up the National ISPCE12 PSES meeting to be held in Portland Nov 5-7. Go the IEEE PSES website to see the details for this meeting. This will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to hob-nob with the international PSES community right here in our fair city; plan to attend this event. Additionally, we will be recruiting volunteers to help keep the program running smoothly those days; here's an opportunity to give back to your professional organization by helping in this. Let us know if you can be a volunteer. We're looking forward to seeing you at this meeting Tues the 18th Sept. Save Tues the 16th Oct for our next fall PSES PDX meeting also. :>) br, Pete Peter E Perkins, PE Principal Product Safety Engineer PO Box 23427 Tigard, ORe 97281-3427 503/452-1201 fone/fax p.perk...@ieee.org [Yes, even John Woodgate is invited...] - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
