Homework Assignment #2 1. Case 8.1 “Unilateral Contract” The "Pioneer Trail Ultramarathon" had an advertised prize of $10,000 but Rocky reserved the right to change the terms of the race at any time. Although his actions are shady and deceptive in my opinion, there was not a breech of contract. His decision to change the prize from $10,000 to $1,000 was within the rules stated in his legally enforceable unilateral contract. 2. Case 8.2 “Intention” Sullivan merely stated he would not take…

Smoke also contributes to property damage far from the seat of the fire. So the addition of a smoke management system that along with the automated fire suppression system will not only help reduce fire casualties…

Firefighting is not only about fighting fires. In fact, most of a firefighter’s day is spent at the firehouse. Most firefighters work 24 hour shifts. They go to work at 7:00 in the morning and leave at 7:00 the next day. They have a lot to do. First on their list is to check that all the equipment is working. A firefighter does not want to get to a fire and find out that there is a leak in the hose! Fire fighters also spend time in training every day. Firefighters do a lot more than just fight…

evacuate. Detection devices are dispersed throughout a building. These devices are wired into a central control panel. When smoke or fire is detected, the control panel sets off alarms to alert anyone in the building. The building is divided into zones for the purpose of making it easier to determine where the emergency is occurring. One can see for example, if there is smoke in zone three. There are several different types of ways that alarms alert people to danger. Sound is one way, loud…

Science Fair Abstract 2 February 2018 Particles in the Mist In this project, there was a cloud chamber built to see radioactive decay particles with a radioactive source. In this project an ionizing smoke detector is being used as the radioactive source. The difference between an ionizing smoke detector and one that is not is that they tend to respond 30-90secs faster to fast flame fires than photoelectric fire alarms. . A cloud chamber is a sealed environment containing supersaturated vapor…

electricity. It doesn’t just help us look cooler or make us able to do very easy things easier, but it helps out the economy very lightly.Many of these inventions haven’t been known to really damage lives, but help them in alarming us when there is a smoke, or the heartbeat of someone who is brutally hurt, or helping us find ways of escaping major crisis’. If you ever noticed warnings on glow sticks they say not to eat and if you read warnings on anything else glow-in-the-dark, they would also…

radium. Marie discovered it because she was interested in figuring out what it was. Radium helped people back them by helping to create mobile X-ray units (Borzendowski 98) and glowing paint (Borzendowski 110). Today it is used for contact lenses, smoke detectors, alarms, microwaves, and medicines (Borzendowski 116). Marie Curie was very crucial to the course of history. She was the one who discovered radium, which is used a lot today. This was a huge discovery "...destined to change not just…
