Quincy, MA – The Fire Protection Research Foundation, an affiliate of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) presented the William M. Carey Award to the authors of a paper titled “Results of a Clinical Study of the Waking Effectiveness of Fire Signaling Devices.” The Award was presented at the Foundation’s tenth annual Fire Suppression and Detection Research Application Symposium held in Orlando, FL earlier this month.
作者是马里兰州哥伦比亚的燃烧科学与工程学的Erin Ashley和Jacqueline Dubois。该奖项旨在表彰该研讨会去年的最佳论文，并由与会者投票。该会议上发表了大约25篇论文。
The Award honors the late William Carey, P.E., senior staff engineer at Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Carey made many major contributions to new fire suppression technologies and served on various technical advisory committees of the Foundation.
The conference provides an opportunity for fire detection and suppression professionals to share new information, innovations, and plans regarding upcoming research. The emphasis is on real-world application of new documentation in designs, approvals, and codes.
The Fire Protection Research Foundation convenes international research councils to help define fire problems in need of research, conducts research application symposia on a broad range of fire safety issues, and manages broad-based consortium-funded research in collaboration with scientists and laboratories around the world.
