Santa Clara Product Safety Technical Committee (PSTC), January 27& February 24, 1998 Meeting Notices
Please mark you calendar and join us for the following meetings: List-Post: [email protected] Date: January 27, 1998 Time: 7:00 p.m. Topic: "Organization" of safeguards against electric shock Speaker: Mr. Rich Nute Location: Hewlett Packard, 19447 Prunridge Ave. Cupertino CA, Bldg. 48, Oakroom PRESENTATION: Rich will be talking about an "organization" of safeguards against electric shock. We all know about grounding and double-insulation and similar schemes. I will show that there are three primary schemes for protection against electric shock. Two of the three primary schemes need no mitigators, while one has six mitigators. Rich will discuss the primary schemes and their mitigators in some detail. Rich is not presenting anything new, technically. Rather, he is presenting an organization -- a way of thinking -- about the necessary constructions that provide protection against electric shock. SPEAKER: Mr. Nute is a graduate of Cal Poly (San Luis Obsipo). He has worked as a manufacturing engineer, a component engineer, a R&D engineer, and most of his career as a product safety engineer for T&M, IT, and some medical equipment. He has sat on numerous safety and standards committees and have contributed to various safety standards. Rich writes the "Technically Speaking" column in the Product Safety Newsletter, and help manage the IEEE EMC-PSTC listserver. He is currently studying ignition of plastic material by electric energy. If there is interest, he could talk about this, too. DINNER: If you are interested in joining the speaker for dinner at El Torito's (by Vallco Fashion Park at Wolfe and Hwy 280), it will be at 5:30 p.m. RSVP to Kamran Mohajer.

SPEAKER: Andy McIntyre is a Certified Industrial Hygienist and is one of the more recognized semiconductor safety professional in the semiconductor industry. GS3 (a joint venture between ETL and EORM) is probably the most recognized S2 assessing body in the semiconductor industry and has already conducted numerous S2 training to a number of semiconductor equipment manufacturers. Should you need a map, please get in touch with me and I will be happy to send you one. Looking forward to seeing you at the meeting. Also, If you are interest in a topic please let me know. We still have a few opening for next year's presentations.
