Hazardous Material Emergency Alarm System. Hazardous Material Emergency Alarm Systems (HMEAS) are stand-alone systems for protecting people from exposure to dangerous substances in the workplace.

Overview
HMEAS are designed for a wide variety of commercial and industrial environments, including refineries, industrial processes and warehousing, educational and commercial research facilities as well as hospitals and even restaurants.  The systems are designed to both alert and respond – activating warnings and alarms and depending on the extent of the danger, triggering corrective actions that could include material shutoffs, increased ventilation and the opening or closing of access to the exposed area.

Hazardous Material Emergency Alarm Systems (HMEAS) should be designed to meet the safety requirements embodied in the Building and Fire Codes used throughout North America and Europe,

State forest (Brazil). A state forest () in Brazil is a type of sustainable use protected area managed at the state level.
The primary purpose is sustainable exploitation of the forest, subject to various limits.
These include a requirement to preserve at least 50% of the original forest, to preserve forest along watercourses and on steep slopes, and so on.

Definition

The concept of the State Forest originated with the 1934 Forest Code. It is equivalent to a national forest, but is administered at the state level. It is an area with forest cover of predominantly native species and has the basic objective of the sustainable multiple use of forest resources and scientific research, with emphasis on methods for sustainable exploitation of native forests. The forest is publicly owned and any private lands in its boundaries are expropriated when it is formed.
Indigenous populations may remain in the forest.
Public visits are allowed, and research is encouraged, subject to the rules set out by the responsible agency. The responsible agency must prepare and publish a management plan for the forest.

Any new state forests must maintain at least 50% of the original forest coverage, although older forests may have as little as 20%.
Properties in the south of Brazil in which the Paraná pine (Araucaria angustifolia) occurs cannot be deforested. Areas with slopes between 24 and 45 degrees cannot be deforested, but lumber may be extracted without clearcutting. Forests along waterways and around springs, on topographical heights, on slopes of more than 45 degrees, in salt marshes, on the edge of plateaus and above  may not be touched. The minimum amount of wild coverage must be preserved at each level of the property. Industries that use forest products are expected to invest in forests to meet their needs.

Examples

Examples of state forests include:

Harvard biphase. Harvard biphase is a  magnetic run length code for encoding magnetic tape. It is one of the formats employed in forming the digital bits of logic one and logic zero, along with non-return-to-zero (NRZ) and bipolar-return-to-zero (RZ) formats. Each bit in the Harvard biphase format undergoes change at its trailing edge and this transpires either from high to zero or zero to high independently of its value.

FDR 
Harvard biphase has previously been used for  digital flight data recorder (FDR) where 12-bit words per second are recorded onto magnetic tape using Harvard biphase code. The data are encoded in frames and each of these contains a snapshot of the avionics system in the aircraft. For Harvard biphase, a phase transition in the middle of the bit cell indicates that the bit is 1. No transaction indicates that the bit is 0. There is also a phase transition at the start of each bit cell. The ARINC 573 serves as a standard for FDRs that feature continuous data stream encoded in Harvard biphase.
