Adaptability of KN95 Particulate Respirator to the Face

Masks are an important line of defense against respiratory infectious diseases and can reduce the risk of new coronavirus infection. Masks can prevent patients from spraying droplets, reduce the amount and speed of droplets, and block coronavirus-containing droplets, thereby preventing wearers from inhaling and protecting susceptible people. Masks have become very important respiratory safety protective equipment.

The size of the human head and face is one of the important bases for the design of particulate protective masks. The suitability of cup-shaped masks for people with different face shapes is quite different. One of the reasons is that the shape of the cup-shaped mask is fixed, and changes in the size of the head and face of different people will affect the size of the face. The fit has a certain impact. Due to the huge difference in the suitability of KN95 particulate respirators, a suitability test before use is a necessary measure to ensure the protective effect.

The suitability test is the basic requirement to screen the type of mask suitable for the user and to ensure that the protective performance of the mask is maximized. According to the US CDC survey data, the pass rate of the quantitative fitness test of KN95 particulate protective masks is 20% to 100%. In different user groups, there are certain differences in the pass rate. One of the reasons for the difference is the size of the user's head and face. different. As a new standard to measure the matching degree of masks and users, the quantitative fit test can quantify the leakage of masks and has been recommended and adopted by more and more research institutions and enterprises. Studying the relationship between the results of the fit test and the size of the human head and face has application value and guiding significance for workers to choose suitable protective masks.

The size of the human head and face is an important parameter to guide the design of masks. How to select the most representative indicators and study the relationship between them and suitability is a hot topic of research at home and abroad. A study on the size of the head and face of Chinese workers showed that the length, width of the face, the width of the nose bridge, width between two mandibular angles, and nasal protrusion are the indicators that can best reflect the characteristics of the human head and face. 

Analysis conclusion

1. There is a certain difference in the relationship between head and face size indicators and fitness between men and women. In this study, the indicators related to fitness in men are nose width, and in women, the indicators related to fitness are face width and tragus Submandibular arc length between points. People with larger face width and nose width are more suitable for wearing masks.

2. The nose clip and lower edge of the cup-shaped mask are the parts that are more prone to aerosol leakage. Adjusting these two parts can improve the protective effect of the mask.

3. Before each use of a new mask, a quantitative fit test is required, and training is required to master the correct wearing and adjustment methods.

4. The limitations of this study are: the masks used for the test are of the same brand and two types, and the proportion of males in the test population is slightly lower, which makes the representativeness of the research results unsatisfactory. When extrapolated to the entire population, The data support is not strong, and the results of the study should be further verified on the basis of increasing the types of samples and the number of subjects tested.

Re: Your answer to the THPS 1+2 ask, it's also fascinating how often corporations will sacrifice long-term prospects for short-term profits. Rolling VV into Blizzard may have been more profitable than THPS 3+4 right now, but probably less profitable in the long run than letting them do more work opening up more revenue streams from dormant IPs for Activision. But every quarter they've gotta make more than last quarter, so they end up shooting themselves in the foot.

(Previous ask.)

Oh, absolutely. They only take responsibility when it comes to receiving praise, most of which amounts to "good job cracking that whip, sir."

And they only want today's money, because if they wait until tomorrow, somebody might catch up to what they're doing and pose a reasonable threat to the line going up. So they will -- and have -- chewed up entire industries down to the bare dirt, leaving nothing but dust and tumbleweeds for everyone else.

It's all about them, it's all about their money, and as long as they have enough safeguards that let them constantly pump and dump, it doesn't matter who they step on along the way. Even failure, ultimately, will never touch them, because by the time their destructive practices legitimately catch up with them, the worst they suffer is a slap on the wrist (if even that) and an extremely comfortable retirement.

It's all a long con and nothing matters except how hard they can get someone else to crank the machine to fill their pockets up before they ultimately cash out. Loyalty, reputation, none of it matters, because they can just buy their way out of most trouble.

Microsoft's been doing it for years. They were in the dog house after the Xbox One "no used games, always online" launch problems, so they pivoted to this friendly, generous company, who proudly supports backwards compatibility and has this great thing called Game Pass where they give away $1 trials almost constantly.

Except now the tides are shifting back in their favor again, and wouldn't you know it... that generosity is starting to dry up.

For one of the richest companies in the world, they are absolutely willing to buy your goodwill. Public opinion is a commodity they can and have purchased. Sony did it, too. Hell, even Nintendo tried it -- compare the original Mario Kart 8 DLC on Wii U ($12 to almost double the size of the game) versus the current Mario Kart 8 DX DLC on the Switch ($25 for ports of phone content).

All it takes is being far enough in the lead and the masks start to come off.

Eat the rich.

Abandoned fan project: Where?

Dead due to the hush hush audio developments and my inability to write it without help, (I can lay out a framework, explain scene atmosphere and tone, and suggest dialogue but thats it). I hoped to get this one off the ground but it was not to be and is probably stupid so instead of letting it gather dust, I've decided to post everything I came up with as someone might find it useful.

Constructive feedback is welcome.

General

Title: Where?

Format: Audio.

Duration: 4 x 15 minute episodes or a NuWho style 60 minute edit and a Next Time trailer for a never to be released Hallwoeen Special sequel.

Description: A Faction audio disguised as an 8th Doctor spin off to both add verismilitude to the Companion assumption and enable the stealth introduction of Faction elements to the larger Whovian fandom. If anyone asks it's an, "ultimate 8th Doctor audio" project exploring how the novel elements might be integrated.

Synposis

Ostensibly it's a companion going on a breif tour of the .F.P. Spiral Politic and the more compitable novel and NuWho elements while searching for the 8th Doctor, who's gone missing with help from a companion of her own, (unknown to her a Faction Cousin) she dubs, "The Assistant". Naturally it's more complicated then that.

She discovers that things she remembers doing with the Doctor didn't seem to have happened or maybe have been reversed and that certain people she met don't remember her. On top of that the situations they find themselves in aren't as, "nice" or, "resolvable" as those she's used to and gradually bring her around to a more Faction compatible mindset and on the brink of a possible mental breakdown.

After loosing her ability to walk, (and becoming cooped up in a crudely modified Dalek skirt salvaged from a battlefield) she finally catches up with her Doctor only to find out he doesn't remember her nor any of their adventures together seeming more interested/concerned about her companion whom he reveals to be a Factional, perhaps dismssing her as, "another Faction trick". The mental breakdown she has been able to keep at bay/compensate for with the hope of being reunited with him occurs at full force shattering her prompting her to quickly go back into the .T.T. capsule and start crying/wailing. The Assistant watches her go in then walks up to the Doctor ranting about how much she wanted to reunite with him and had had to go through to get back to him all for nothing followed by punching the Doctor in the stomach doubling him over then an upper cutting knocking him out.

The Assistant then goes into the .T.T. capsule, quietly sets the controls with his shadow and it demterialises. The Companion flashbacks to the instances where he showed more knowledge then he was supposed to have. The two have a frank emotional heart to heart in which she works through her feelings and confronts The Assistant about who and what he is. He gives a basic summary of what the Faction is emphasising the aspects that make it seem like a group of misfits/don't fit elsewherers but not lying. She decides to join the Faction and to do it, "properly", (ie: Killing her parents erasing herself from time and causing the whole mess but she doesn't realise it and it's not spelt out for the audience).

Episodes

Ep.1:

Ep.2: Weeping angels encounter and encounter.

Ep.3: Crippling incident then the combined brooding and salvaged Dalek skirt modification.

Ep.4: Finding the Doctor and the aftermath.

Characters

Titles only until the final episode. Organically, not forced or highlighted. (A play on the .F.P.'s need to use codenames).

No romance between the two humans, they are merely comfortable enough to snark at each other.

1.The Companion: A previously unknown 8th Doctor companion who has 4th Doctor's scarf from her alternate timeline. No Faction knowledge but ends up joining it which causes her erasure from time.

2.The Assistant: Goth male. Factional wearing a symbol ring instead of robes and a mask. Knows more about the Spiral Politic then he lets on, (makes some small slips not really noticed until the end) but is genuinely swept up by events.

3..T.T. capsule: One of the many the Master had hidden away, took the form of the 8th Doctor's Tardis using the Companion's memories of what would be expected/the most wanted).

Quotes

*Tardis turbulence and small console sparks*

Assistant: "Where are the seatbelts on this thing?".

*Console spark*

Companion (Laughing joyously): "There aren't any!".

*

*Companion kicks the Assistant on the ground*

Companion: "Are you dead?".

Assistant (sarcastically): "Only on the inside".

*Companion chuckles*

*

Assistant: Ideally we'd want something faster and more manoveurable then a wheelchair, perhaps with anti gravity if possible so you can clear obstacles. Do you know anything like that?".

The Companion (Sadly): Yeah.

*Dalek Civil War battle sound effects*

The Ultimate Guide to Dustless Floor Sanding: Clean, Efficient, and Effective

Dustless floor sanding has revolutionised the way we approach floor renovation projects. Its benefits are numerous, including minimal airborne dust, improved indoor air quality, and a more efficient sanding process. 

In this ultimate guide, we will delve into the world of dustless floor sanding in Melbourne, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of the technique, equipment and materials needed, preparation steps, execution techniques, post-sanding cleanup, and maintenance tips. 

By the end of this guide, you'll be equipped with the knowledge to tackle your own dustless floor sanding project with confidence.

Dustless Floor Sanding

Dustless floor sanding, also known as dust-free sanding, is a modern approach to floor renovation that aims to minimise the release of airborne dust particles during the sanding process. 

Unlike traditional floor sanding methods, which can create clouds of dust that infiltrate every nook and cranny of a space, dustless floor sanding utilises advanced equipment and containment systems to capture dust at its source, resulting in a cleaner and healthier working environment.

The primary difference between dustless floor sanding and traditional methods lies in the containment and extraction of dust. Instead of allowing dust to disperse freely into the air and settle on surrounding surfaces, dustless sanding systems feature powerful vacuums and filters that capture the dust as it is generated, preventing it from becoming a nuisance or health hazard.

The benefits of choosing dustless floor sanding in Melbourne for your project are numerous. Not only does it create a healthier and safer work environment by reducing airborne dust, but it also minimises the need for extensive post-sanding cleanup. Additionally, the controlled extraction of dust helps maintain the integrity of the surrounding space, preventing dust from settling on furniture, walls, and other surfaces.

Equipment and Materials Needed

Before embarking on a dustless floor sanding project, it's essential to gather the necessary equipment and materials. Additionally, you'll need to consider the type of flooring you'll be sanding and select the appropriate materials, such as sanding discs designed for hardwood or engineered wood floors.

When selecting equipment for dustless floor sanding, it's crucial to choose tools and supplies that are compatible with dustless sanding systems. This ensures optimal performance and dust containment throughout the sanding process. Investing in high-quality equipment and materials will contribute to the success and efficiency of your project, ultimately yielding a superior finish.

Preparing for Dustless Floor Sanding

Proper preparation is essential for a successful dustless floor sanding project. Begin by clearing the work area of furniture, rugs, and any other items that could obstruct the sanding process. It's also important to ensure adequate ventilation in the space and seal off doorways or openings to adjacent rooms to prevent dust from spreading.

In terms of containment, consider using plastic sheeting to create a barrier between the work area and the rest of the space. This containment system helps confine airborne dust and facilitates its extraction through the dustless sanding equipment. Additionally, taking safety measures, such as wearing a dust mask and protective gear, is crucial to safeguarding your health during the sanding process.

Executing Dustless Floor Sanding

Executing dustless floor sanding requires careful attention to detail and adherence to best practices. Begin by familiarising yourself with the operation of the dustless floor sander and the proper technique for maneuvering it across the floor surface. 

As you progress through the sanding process, pay close attention to the dust containment system and ensure that it is effectively capturing the dust generated by the sender. Periodically check and empty the dust collection unit to prevent any loss of suction and maintain optimal dust extraction.

Common issues that may arise during the sanding process include uneven sanding, swirl marks, or clogging of the sanding pads. Troubleshooting these issues may involve adjusting the sanding technique, replacing the sanding pads, or addressing any mechanical issues with the equipment.
