▼ A incontinência urinária, é um problema de saúde com múltiplas repercussões, que interferem negativamente na qualidade de vida dos doentes. Aliado a este facto, está a dificuldade em realizar diagnósticos corretos acerca do grau de incontinência. Sem um diagnóstico correto o tratamento, que já por si é complicado, incorre em dificuldades adicionais. Assim, tem-se assistido ao desenvolvimento de vários produtos para incontinência, cujo objetivo é melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes, face aos danos causados pela doença. Tratam-se de sistemas concebidos para aumentar a autoestima das pessoas na sua presença em público, face ao receio de algum evento de incontinência. Nesse sentido, o principal objetivo deste trabalho, é a criação de um sistema de alarme para incontinentes, que é constituído por uma componente de deteção de líquido, incorporada em roupa interior específica para incontinentes e uma componente de geração de alarme, que corresponde a um dispositivo android . A comunicação entre os dois dispositivos é estabelecida, através do protocolo Bluetooth. A componente de deteção de líquido, inclui a implementação de um sensor de líquido baseado em materiais fibrosos, integrado no substrato têxtil específico para incontinentes. É também responsável por, processar a informação proveniente do sensor e por comunicar com o dispositivo android . Os resultados provenientes do sensor consistem na resistência elétrica produzida, relacionada com a quantidade de líquido libertado. Por sua vez, a componente de geração de alarme, é uma aplicação móvel, concretizada com o propósito de emitir alarmes, quando recebe sinais provenientes do dispositivo. Além disso, fornece uma interface de configuração do dispositivo de deteção, para o nível de alarme desejado. Permite ainda registar eventos de incontinência numa base de dados local. O trabalho desenvolvido tornou possível a conceção e implementação de um sistema de alarme para incontinentes, sendo que o nível de alarme pode ser configurado em função da quantidade de líquidos. A existência duma base de dados com registo de eventos permite a monitorização em modo offline por períodos mais longos.

▼ As plantas industriais são compostas por processos que somam milhares de variáveis. Visando garantir segurança e qualidade à operação, esses processos são monitorados e alarmes são configurados de modo a indicar algum possível mau funcionamento. Dentre os problemas mais comuns associados aos alarmes industriais podemos citar: alta ocorrência de falsos alarmes, alarmes perdidos e alarmes ruidosos, sobrecarga dos operadores e enxurrada de alarmes. Estes problemas estão relacionados com o processo de seleção das variáveis monitoradas, as técnicas de ativação e desativação de alarmes, entre outras características do processo e do sistema de alarme. Este trabalho tem como foco definir uma abordagem para configurar alarmes eficientes e significativos para o operador. A abordagem aqui proposta tem inspiração no fluxo de trabalho de um cientista de dados que inicialmente precisa identificar as características das bases de dados utilizadas para então aplicar transformações que tornem os dados mais adequados possibilitando a extração de informações valiosas. Muitas vezes o cientista está interessado em criar um modelo que descreve os dados ou possibilita predições. Esta é uma tarefa muito similar a de configuração de alarmes onde é necessário selecionar as variáveis relevantes e definir as configurações de cada alarme de maneira a classificar o funcionamento do processo como adequado ou não e auxiliar a identificar a falha. A abordagem proposta aqui é constituída de quatro partes: descrição dos dados, seleção de variáveis, sintonia e avaliação de desempenho. Durante a etapa de descrição são obtidas informações relevantes sobre os dados como presença de eventos, quantidade de eventos distintos, duração de eventos, etc. Na etapa de seleção são definidas as variáveis relevantes para detecção de anormalidades. A sintonia dos alarmes é similar a um processo de treinamento, onde um modelo é construído para descrever o comportamento dos dados. Finalmente durante a avaliação, as configurações encontradas são aplicadas a um histórico do processo para aferir se as configurações se comportam de maneira a atender restrições de segurança e qualidade. Como estudo de caso, uma configuração de alarmes industriais foi obtida para o Tennessee Eastman Process que é um simulador amplamente usado pela comunidade acadêmica.

▼ Alarm systems are critical assets of modern industrial plants to assist operators in managing plant upsets and hazardous situations. A good alarm system must detect abnormalities and warn the operators promptly and yet at the same time not mislead, overload or distract the operators. However, in many actual cases, alarm systems often function poorly, and distract and overload operators due to nuisance alarms and alarm floods. Consequently, operators might be confounded by these problems, and be less alert to true alarms. To ensure process safety and improve efficiency of alarm systems, this thesis focuses on the development of advanced alarm management techniques, specifically using alarm data. Four problems have been solved. First, a new method is developed to detect and quantify correlated alarms in the presence of occurrence delays, which are identified as the main causes leading to erroneous conclusions from existing methods. The effectiveness of the method is ensured by a statistical test based on the distribution of occurrence delays and a signal conversion mechanism of generating continuous-valued pseudo alarm sequences. Second, in order to assist prediction of alarm floods and prevention of their negative consequences, an accelerated local alignment method is proposed to find similar alarm flood sequences, which are very likely caused by the same root cause. To improve the computational efficiency and accuracy, three novel strategies are incorporated, including the priority-based similarity scoring strategy, the set-based pre-matching mechanism, and the modified seeding-extending steps. Third, to identify abnormality propagation paths and detect root causes, a causality inference method based on binary-valued alarm data is developed as an alternative in the absence of process data. A modified transfer entropy (TE) and a direct transfer entropy (DTE) are formulated based on the two characteristics of alarm signals, namely, the random occurrence delays and the mutual independence of alarm occurrences. Lastly, a data-driven technique is proposed to discover association rules of mode-dependent alarms from historical Alarm & Event (A&E) logs. The proposed method can help process engineers in discovering consequential nuisance alarms, and configuring state-based alarming strategies. The effectiveness and applicability of the proposed methods are validated by case studies using real industrial alarm data. Using the proposed methods, interesting patterns can be extracted from the alarm data, and used to improve alarm monitoring by reducing nuisance alarms, addressing alarm floods, and tracking the propagation of abnormalities.

▼ In the process industry, the alarm system acts as a layer of protection between the Basic Process Control System (BPCS) and the Safety Instrumented System (SIS). The BPCS is designed for automatic regulation of day to day process operation and SIS comes into picture when emergency shutdown is required. There are specific standards worldwide that define how BPCS and SIS system are to be designed and expected to work. However, not many well defined standards are available for design and management of industrial alarm systemsmainly due to the heavy involvement of human factors. Alarm management has gained complexity mainly due to increasing size of process plants and also due to the Distributed Control System (DCS) that presents little motivation for limiting the number of variables on which alarms can be configured. Alarm management lifecycle for maintaining an efficient alarm system as suggested by the International Society of Automation standards (ISA SP18.02) is discussed in this work with emphasis on monitoring and assessment and design stages. In this work, novel tools for assessment of alarm system based on routinely collected alarm event data are proposed and demonstrated. The primary focus of these tools is to identify nuisance alarms such as chattering and redundant alarms. Alarm event data is represented mathematically and indices are proposed to calculate the extent of similarity between two alarms and also to estimate the extent of chattering in an alarm. Two of the most commonly used techniques for reducing alarm chatter, delay timers and latches are discussed in detail. Effect of varying the size of on-delay, off-delay timers and latches on the accuracy of detection is discussed in the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) framework from a theoretical view point by modeling them using Markov chains. Use of Return to Normal (RTN) information in addition to alarm events information in designing delay timers is also discussed. Finally, advantages of multivariate techniques such as Principal Components Analysis (PCA) based T2 and Q statistic as opposed to univariate monitoring are discussed in the same framework using simulation examples and an industrial case study.

▼ Pipelines transport millions of barrels of petroleum products every day. Oil and gas pipelines have become important assets of the economic development of almost any country. Government regulations or internal policies regulate the safety of the assets for the population and environment where these pipelines run. Various strategies and technologies have been introduced for monitoring pipelines, but the most common technology to protect pipelines from occasional hazardous incidents is Computational Pipeline Monitoring (CPM). This technique collects and gathers information from the field related to pressures, flows, and temperatures to estimate the hydraulic behavior of the product being transported. Using the gathered information CPM systems compare its values with standard values and provides a notification if any anomaly or unexpected situation occurs. The result is an alarm to an operator in a supervisory control room. According to Hollifield, it is becoming an increasing problem that there is no standard for plant operators yet, whereas improved design can lead to better performance (Hollifield et. al., 2007). So, the objective of this experiment was to explore the effect of different alarm interfaces on controller response at different alarm rates. A simulated liquid pipeline system was developed and a between subject experimental design was performed to evaluate three different types of alarm window interfaces (Categorical, Chronological, and Revised Categorical), two alarm rates (10 in 10 minutes and 20 in 10 minutes), and three levels of alarms (high, medium, and low). Thirty one participants participated in this research, and the performance of participants was measured in terms of acknowledgement time, response time and the accuracy of response. Results showed that the participants’ performance in terms of response time, acknowledgement time, and accuracy of response was significantly different between chronological, categorical, and revised categorical displays. Data analysis showed that the means were shorter in revised categorical display in terms of response time, acknowledgement time, and accuracy of response. This study will be useful in developing new standards for alarm display.

▼ The dispersal behaviour of apterous pea aphids, Acyrthosipon pi sum (Harris) was studied in the laboratory and field. In the laboratory, aphids exhibited two types of behaviour while on the ground, after dropping from plants in response to predators. Most aphids showed a high frequency of turning and tended to return to the plant they left, while a smaller proportion walked in straight lines and did not return to the plant they left. Adults and older nymphs had the highest proportion of individuals which showed the second type of behaviour and adults showed the greatest tendency to disperse to plants more distant than the nearest available plants. Young instar aphids were less successful at locating a host than older nymphs and adults. Aphids were placed on the central bean seedlings within plots, inside large field cages. Adult coccinellids were released into two of the cages while the other cage remained predator-free. Aphids in the cages with predators frequently moved between plants, while aphids in the predator-free cage did not. Adult aphids colonized more plants and had a lower mortality while on the ground than all other instars. Aphids did not show a preferred dispersal direction and the distance dispersed by aphid nymphs was proportional to the density of aphids on the plant they left. The importance of emigrating apterae in the exploitation of new resources and the regulation of aphid populations is discussed. Bean plants infected with an aphid transmitted virus were transplanted into the central position of bean plots in the field cages. Aphids were placed on the central infected plants and adult coccinellids were released into two of the three cages for three days. Aphids frequently moved to other plants from the centre infected plant in the two cages with predators but not in the predator-free cage. When plants were examined two weeks later, significantly more plants were infected with virus in the cages with predators than in the predator-free cage. New virus infections were correlated with plants that were visited or colonized by aphids from the central infected plant. The influence of predators in the spread of aphid transmitted diseases is discussed. In laboratory experiments, pea aphids from Vancouver were presented with alarm pheromone from irritated conspecifics. Adult and fourth instar aphids responded to the pheromone by either dropping, running or backing up. Instars one, two and three responded to the pheromone only when a vibratory stimulus accompanied it. A high proportion of all instars responded to the double stimulus by dropping. When adult aphids from Vancouver and Kamloops were presented with alarm pheromone, the Kamloops adults exhibited a more conservative reaction to alarm pheromone. Kamloops adults also were more conservative about leaving their plant when confronted by a coccinellid predator. A hypothesis is presented, which accounts for the differences in escape reactions between instars and biotypes. The hypothesis takes into consideration predation risk, escape behaviour…

▼ Fishes in the Superorder Ostariophysi have specialized epidermal club cells that contain an alarm substance. Damage to these cells causes the release of the alarm substance which can serve as a useful indicator of predation risk for nearby conspecifics. The majority of research involving alarm substances has investigated the roles that cues play in anti-predator contexts including learned predator avoidance. In this study I tested the effects of non-predatory stressors including pathogens, pathogen conditioned water, social dynamics, and skin-burrowing parasites on epidermal variables including alarm cell investment. In experiment 1, fathead minnows, Pimephales promelas, were exposed to different levels of the pathogenic water-mold, Saprolgenia ferax to determine the effect it would have on the epidermis. Minnows exposed to Saprolgenia had significantly more alarm cells than those exposed to the control solutions. The treatments had no effect on body condition, alarm cell size, mucous cell density, mucous cell size, or epidermal thickness. In experiment 2, social dynamics were manipulated by pairing minnows with either a familiar partner or an unfamiliar individual and exposing them to Saprolgenia ferax. The treatments had no effect on body condition, alarm cell density, alarm cell size, mucous cell density, mucous cell size, or epidermal thickness. In experiment 3, minnows were exposed to either Saprolgenia or Saprolgenia conditioned water to determine whether the physical presence of zoospores was required to induce a change in epidermal properties. The treatments had no effect on body condition, alarm cell density, alarm cell size, mucous cell density, mucous cell size, or epidermal thickness; suggesting that water conditioned by Saprolgenia may be sufficient to induce a change in alarm cell investment. In experiment 4, minnows were exposed to three different infection rates of skin burrowing parasites (trematode cercariae) to determine its effect on the epidermis. Minnows exposed to high levels of tramatode cercariae had significantly more alarm cells than those exposed to either low levels or those in the control treatment. The treatments had no effect on body condition, alarm cell size, mucous cell density, mucous cell size, or epidermal thickness. In experiment 5 and 6, cultures of Saprolegnia ferax were exposed to skin extracts from various fishes. S. ferax cultures exposed to fathead minnow skin extracts, which contain alarm cells showed the least amount of growth, while cultures exposed to swordtail skin extracts, which lack alarm cells, showed an intermediate amount of growth. Cultures exposed to fathead minnow skin extracts showed the least amount of growth compared to cultures exposed to either the synthetic alarm cue or the control. The results of these experiments suggest that disease does appear to influence alarm cell investment and there appears to be some property found in fathead minnow skin that inhibits S. ferax growth.

▼ Background and Objective: In most hospitals, alarms from physiologic monitors are frequent, and the vast majority of alarms are not actionable. Concerns about alarm fatigue prompted The Joint Commission to urge hospitals to take immediate action to improve alarm management in 2013. Understanding the types of alarms that occur most frequently will guide hospitals striving to reduce alarm frequencies. The objective of this study was to evaluate the burden of alarm frequency and to describe the patterns of physiologic monitor alarms at a single, free-standing children’s hospital including the rates of alarms and the most common causes of alarms.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of physiologic monitor alarms at a freestanding children’s hospital. Data were collected from all inpatient units over 7 consecutive days in August 2014 for each physiologic monitor alarm using a central alarm collection system. Alarms were classified by alarm cause (e.g. low blood oxygen level), and sensor (e.g. pulse oximetry probe). Procedural, radiology, rehabilitation, and psychiatry units were excluded. Each unit census was determined by four daily measurements during the study period from the electronic health record.Results: There were a total of 220813 alarms over the study. The most common cause of alarms during the week was technical alarms, or alarms generated for issues with the monitoring equipment (e.g. probe off or low battery), followed by clinical alarms for low blood oxygen level and high heart rate. Pulse oximetry probes were the most common sensor to cause alarms. Alarm rates varied significantly by unit and by cause.Conclusion: Alarm rates at a children’s hospital were quite high. Technical alarms, a type of alarm unrelated to a change in patient physiologic status, were the most common cause of alarm. Strategies targeted at reducing technical alarms from physiologic monitors may help reduce overall alarm frequencies. Advisors/Committee Members: Haynes, Erin (Committee Chair).

▼ As animal behaviour theory has developed over the past 70 years, much attention has gone toward social information use. Social cues in a variety of forms can be critically important in finding food and mates, in defending territories, and in avoiding predators. A wide variety of prey species are capable of learning from social information regarding predation threats, but little attention has gone toward factors that influence the acquisition of such information, how it compares to other learning mechanisms, or how prey learn socially about the absence of risk. Herein, I present research with fathead minnows, Pimephales promelas, where I first showed that learned fear responses were similar between social learning and individual learning, but socially-acquired information was more persuasive and had an overriding effect on previously learned safety. Using repeated exposures to general predation cues that lacked specific information about the predator’s identity, I induced uncertainty in naïve individuals (observers) or in knowledgeable individuals (models) within a social pairing. Repeated exposure to risk, regardless of uncertainty, promoted a high-risk phenotype that was characterized by propensity to freeze, stereotypic route-tracing, and neophobia – a phenomenon where animals show generalized fear responses toward novel stimuli. Attempting to weaken this phenotype, I paired high-risk individuals with models that were experienced with an odour as safe, but a single conditioning with one ‘safety model’ had little effect. Instead, interacting with high-risk individuals caused models to indirectly acquire the high-risk phenotype. Hence, this social transfer of information caused models to behave fearfully, making them poor demonstrators of safety. To counteract this, I used groups of calm models, or multiple, individual calm models in succession. Both strategies weakened fear in observers, as well as socially-transferred fear in models, but surprisingly this effect was much stronger among individuals exposed to risk in isolation, despite their tendency for stronger neophobia initially. While our basic knowledge of social systems has grown substantially in recent years, rarely has it been applied to human issues. My work bridges animal behaviour theory and human psychology, arguing that our understanding of predation-related fear and the information transfer in social animals can prove fruitful in understanding post-traumatic stress and behavioural therapy for its recovery.

▼ Background: Critical care nurses are exposed to an excessive number of clinical alarms in the patient care environment. Prior studies show that the vast majority of arrhythmia alarms are false and can lead to alarm fatigue. Patients with both true and false arrhythmia alarms present a unique challenge, because exposure to false alarms can desensitize nurses to true alarms and may lead to missed true events. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine patients with both true and false arrhythmia alarms and determine: (1) frequency of patients with true and false arrhythmia alarms in a sample of 461 intensive care unit (ICU) patients, (2) patient, clinical, and electrocardiographic characteristics associated with both true and false alarms, and (3) the number and types of true and false arrhythmia alarms (e.g., asystole, ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, accelerated ventricular rhythm, pause, and ventricular bradycardia). Methods: This was a secondary analysis utilizing data from the UCSF Alarm Study. Results: In 461 ICU patients, 71 (15%) patients had a total of 10,699 true and false arrhythmias alarms: 1,348 (13%) were true and 9,351 (87%) were false. Compared to patients without true and false alarms, the presence of ventricular pacemaker, bundle branch block, altered mental status, mechanical ventilation, left ventricular assist device, and cardiac ICU admission were associated with the presence of true and false alarms (p = 0.001). Patients with both true and false alarms had longer length of ICU stay than patients without both true and false alarms (208 hours versus 75 hours; p = 0.001). Accelerated ventricular rhythm was the most common alarm (37%), followed by ventricular tachycardia (31%). Conclusion: We found that 15% of ICU patients have both true and false alarms and the vast majority are false. Further research is needed to build and test improved ECG arrhythmia algorithms that adjust for clinical and ECG characteristics associated with false alarms. Nurses’ awareness of these characteristics may help them identify patients at risk for excessive alarms and aid in developing unit specific solutions to decrease alarm fatigue.

▼ An alarm is a warning of an approaching situation which requires a response. This study considered the influences of alarms in the clinical health environment. The Emergency Care Research Institute considered alarm hazard as the number one health technology hazard for the years 2012 through 2014. The Joint Commission set a standard for all hospitals in the US to assess alarm fatigue in their monitoring process and to develop a systematic, coordinated approach to clinical alarm system management. In order to comply with this requirement, a working definition of alarm fatigue is necessary. To the very best of our knowledge, there have been no studies proposing a quantitative definition of alarm fatigue, a way to measure it, or exploring the influence of alarm fatigue on performance deterioration. This observational study undertook the objective of defining alarm fatigue and its role on performance deterioration in a quantitative way. A survey using a questionnaire proposed by the American College of Clinical Engineering Healthcare Technology Foundation was conducted before the observations to assess the attitude of nurses toward the existing alarm monitoring system at the hospital where the research took place. An extensive literature review and Hierarchical Task Analyses were conducted in order to reveal all the possible influencing factors behind alarm fatigue. From these, alarm fatigue was defined and measured in terms of mental workload and three types of affect: boredom, apathy, and distrust. A conceptual model was developed considering the significance of working conditions and staff individuality on alarm fatigue and, consequently, alarm fatigue on staff performance. Staff performance was measured in terms of response (yes/no), response time and number of ignored alarms. Several analytical approaches were performed to find association between alarm fatigue and staff performance. The results show that, in general, performance deterioration is actually influenced by a combination of alarm fatigue with working conditions and staff individuality. In the case of nurses and response time, alarm fatigue plays no role, only working conditions and staff individuality. These findings suggest that the role of alarm fatigue as a health hazard in the clinical environment should be reevaluated.

▼ Pipelines transport millions of barrels of petroleum products every day. These systems have significant safety concerns. The BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, while concerned with oil and gas extraction rather than distribution, shares many of the same safety and reliability issues as distribution systems, and demonstrates the significant potential for major disasters in the pipeline industry. In this work, a research study is being conducted to further understanding of the role of operators in the management of alarm systems and to measure the performance of operators in handling abnormal situations like pressure loss, liquid inflow/outflow variation and alarm floods. In an Abnormal Situation Management (ASM) consortium traditional interface study, improving the human machine interaction (HMI) in designing the operator’s user interface resulted in 41% less time for the operators to deal with events like leaks, power failures, equipment malfunction and equipment failures in an unstable plant (Errington, 2005). To evaluate the impact of different alarm rates and interfaces on operator performance, a liquid pipeline simulation experiment of 1 hour was developed and the operators ran the experiment repeatedly at different alarm levels: chronological and categorical displays with the alarm rate of 15 alarms per 10 minutes (chronological display only), 20, 25 and 30 alarms per 10 minutes (the last rate with the categorical display only). Twenty five pipeline and refinery operators participated in this research, and the performance of operators was measured in terms of acknowledgement time, response time and the accuracy of response. Results showed that the operator’s performance in terms of response time was significantly different between 25 and 30 alarm rates. Experiments to compare the response times in both the alarm windows did not show significant difference statistically, but the means were better in categorical display. This study will be useful in developing new standards on operator performance.

▼ Objective assessment for the effect of hearing protectors, background noise levels, and backup alarm acoustic features on listeners' abilities to localize backup alarm signals in the horizontal dimension, as well as on their ability to detect backup alarm signals in the distance dimension, is lacking in the acoustics and safety literature. Accordingly, two research experiments were conducted for this dissertation. In the first experiment, the effect of seven hearing protectors, two background pink noise levels (60 dBA and 90 dBA), and two backup alarm signals (standard and spectrally-modified) on the ability of normal hearing listeners to localize backup alarm signals in the horizontal dimension was investigated. Results indicated that a diotic sound transmission earmuff significantly degraded localization accuracy as compared to all other hearing protectors and the open ear condition. In addition, no significant difference existed between the open ear condition and the other hearing protectors in localization accuracy in most of the conditions tested. However, the E-A-R/3M HiFiTM earplug was advantageous in localization performance since it provided a significantly higher percentage correct localization than the Moldex foam earplug, the diotic earmuff, and the dichotic earmuff in 90 dBA pink noise. As for main effects of the other independent variables, the 90 dBA pink noise significantly degraded localization performance as compared to the quiet condition of 60 dBA, and a spectrally-modified backup alarm significantly improved localization performance as compared to the standard (narrowband) backup alarm. Potential application of these results includes the revision of backup alarm standards. In addition, these results provide clear advice for safety professionals to avoid the application of diotic sound transmission earmuffs for workers if localizing backup alarms is important. In the first experiment, listeners' feeling of comfort for each hearing protector was assessed subjectively by using a comfort rating scale. In addition, a subjective assessment for listeners' confidence in their localization decisions was established. Results indicated no significant difference between the hearing protectors in terms of comfort. However, in terms of listeners' confidence in localization decisions, their confidence was significantly degraded when they were fitted with the diotic earmuff. By contrast, they showed significantly more confidence in their localization decisions when they were fitted with the E-A-R/3M HiFi™ earplug as compared to when they were fitted with the Moldex foam earplug, the E-A-R/3M Ultrafit™ earplug, and the Bilsom passive earmuff. In the second experiment, listeners' performance in detecting a stationary backup alarm signal, including both a standard (narrowband) and broadband (pulsed white noise) alarm, was determined while they were equipped with various passive and electronic hearing protection devices. Listeners' performance was quantified by detection distance, which was defined as the… Advisors/Committee Members: Casali, John Gordon (committeechair), Burdisso, Ricardo A.

▼ In process plants, alarms are configured to notify operators of any abnormalities or faults. However, in practice a majority of raised alarms are false or nuisance and create problems for operators as they face an increasing number of alarms to handle. In the past, many catastrophic incidents happened only because of poor performance of alarm systems. Therefore, a dependable and efficient alarm system is needed to ensure plant safety and uninterrupted operation. To assess performance of a plant's alarm system, it is necessary to evaluate various performances indices. Motivated by this, this thesis develops quantitative relationships among commonly used alarm attributes and performance indices. Alarm design techniques, like, deadbands and delay-timers can significantly reduce false and nuisance alarms. However, these techniques introduce some delay in raising the alarm (detection delay). In this thesis, detection delays are calculated using Markov processes for deadbands and delay-timers. A design procedure is then proposed that compromises between detection delay, false alarm rate (Type I error) and missed alarm rate (Type II error) for an optimal configuration. Inclusion of these indices in alarm design makes the system more reliable and effective in nature. Filtering is another widely used alarm design technique in industries. Two most commonly used filter types in industry are the moving average filter and the exponentially weighted moving average filter. However, the effect of filter parameters on the alarm detection delay is not well known. We investigated this relationship for the moving average filter and proposed a method to design filter order. We proposed a generalized delay-timer framework where instead of consecutive n samples in the conventional case, n_1 out of n consecutive samples (n_1 <= n) are considered to raise an alarm. For the generalized delay-timer, three important performance indices, namely, the false alarm rate (FAR), the missed alarm rate (MAR) and the detection delay (EDD) are calculated using Markov processes. Also the performance and sensitivity of generalized delay-timers are compared with conventional delay-timers. All theoretical development and alarm design technique proposed in this thesis are validated through simulations and several case studies are conducted to illustrate industrial applications.

▼ In many high-risk domains, such as aviation, driving, and space operations, safety depends greatly on the timely detection and correct identification of alarms. However, due to high levels of system complexity and coupling in those environments, a large number of alarms is sometimes triggered within a short period of time, a so-called alarm flood. Alarm floods pose a challenge for operators at various stages of information processing, including detection, identification and response selection. The detection of alarms during an alarm flood can be difficult due to masking effects. Masking occurs when one signal is obscured by the presence of another simultaneous or asynchronous stimulus. To date, various forms of simultaneous and asynchronous masking, such as change blindness and attentional blink, have been studied almost exclusively for only two stimuli and in single-task conditions. The effects of masking in the presence of a large number of signals and in multi-task environments are not well understood. Therefore, the goals of this dissertation were to (1) establish the relative contributions of simultaneous and asynchronous masking to missed and misdiagnosed visual and auditory alarms during routine operations and in an alarm flood, (2) identify the stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs) at which masking effects are observed in demanding multitask environments, (3) investigate the impact of the number and temporal distribution of alarms on alarm detection and identification and (4) develop and test countermeasures to overcome observed performance breakdowns. To this end, a series of four experiments were conducted using a simulation of a drone-based package delivery service. Both simultaneous and asynchronous masking were observed, intramodally and crossmodally, for visual and auditory alarms. The SOA at which asynchronous masking was observed was longer (around 800ms) than reported in basic studies of the phenomenon. The effects of both simultaneous and asynchronous masking were stronger with an increase in the number of alarms; this increase was more pronounced for simultaneous masking. Simultaneous masking also had a stronger effect on auditory alarms, compared to visual alarms. In clusters of 4 or 6 sequential alarms, the first and last alarms were more likely to be detected and correctly identified. During alarm floods, a speed-accuracy tradeoff was observed, i.e., the response time to alarms was shorter but the identification accuracy was lower, compared to routine operations. Finally, when the criticality of alarms was mapped to preattentive features of the alarm signal (color and pitch), the masking effects were alleviated, especially for clusters of 4 or 6 concurrent visual alarms. The findings from this dissertation contribute to a better understanding of the effects of two types of masking on the detection and identification of large numbers of critical signals in high workload multi-task environments. They help inform the development and expansion of models and theories of human perception and cognition… Advisors/Committee Members: Sarter, Nadine Barbara (committee member), Adar, Eytan (committee member), Liu, Yili (committee member), Martin, Bernard J (committee member), Yang, Xi (Jessie) (committee member).

Desenvolvida em 1987 na Motorola, a metodologia Seis Sigma busca, mediante redução na variabilidade dos processos-chave, obter características críticas para a qualidade (CTQs) com probabilidades de defeitos próximas de zero. Tem-se um processo Seis Sigma quando a distância entre o valor-alvo (VN) da CTQ e o limite de especificação mais próximo for igual ou superior a seis desvios-padrão (σ). Na prática, por maior que seja a atenção dispensada ao processo, a média da distribuição de probabilidades da CTQ pode deslocar em até 1,5σ do valor-alvo, que ainda assim o processo será considerado Seis Sigma. Então existe um intervalo de 4,5 a 6σ, no qual o processo pode variar sem que perca o nível de qualidade considerado de classe mundial. Desta forma, neste trabalho, buscou-se estabelecer recomendações para o planejamento de gráficos de controle de Shewhart ̅ e R para o monitoramento de processos Seis Sigma. Para tanto, estabeleceu-se um desempenho de referência no qual se admitiu a probabilidade do alarme falso conjunto igual ou inferior a 0,01; e a probabilidade do alarme verdadeiro conjunto crescendo de acordo com a redução do nível Sigma do processo, passando de 0 em processos 6σ para 0,10 naqueles 5σ, atingindo 0,90 em processos 4,5σ até atingir a unidade para processos 3σ e inferiores. Nesse sentido, investigou-se planejamentos com combinações entre n = 2, 3, 4 e 5 e k = 2,5, 2,6, 2,7, 2,8, 2,9 e 3,0. Identificou-se que o par de gráficos em questão apresentou bom desempenho quando o processo esteve sob efeito somente do deslocamento da média e perdeu desempenho à medida que ocorreu o aumento da variação como única perturbação ou quando as duas anomalias estiveram atuando. Foi possível identificar que o deslocamento da média é o problema mais observado, a ocorrência simultânea das duas anomalias é menos frequente e a presença exclusiva do aumento da variação é rara. Logo, recomendou-se o planejamento com n = 5 e k = 2,9, para o monitoramento de processos Seis Sigma Práticos (isto é, com nível sigma entre 4,5 e 6σ), que apresentou bom desempenho apenas quando o processo esteve principalmente sob efeito do deslocamento da média. Portanto, é provável que o nível de qualidade dos processos caia sem que os gráficos de controle em questão sinalizem a perda da qualidade em função do aumento da variação, com ou sem a presença do deslocamento da média.

Developed at Motorola in 1987 the Six Sigma methodology seeks, by reducing the variability of key-processes, obtain critical to quality characteristics (CTQs) with defect probabilities close to zero. It has a Six Sigma process when the distance between the CTQs target value (VN) and its nearest specification limit, is equal or greater than six standards-deviations (σ). In practice, despite the big attention being paid to the process, the average of the CTQs probabilities distribution is able to shift until 1,5σ from the target value which even so, the process will be considered Six Sigma. So there is an interval between…
