2. Aspirating smoke detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirating_smoke_detector

   An aspirating smoke detector (ASD) is a system used in active fire protection, consisting of a central detection unit which draws air through a network of pipes to detect smoke. [1] The sampling chamber is based on a nephelometer that detects the presence of smoke particles suspended in air by detecting the light scattered by them in the chamber.

3. GAU-8 Avenger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAU-8_Avenger

   When the GAU-8 is being fired, the smoke from the gun can make the engines stop, and this did occur during initial flight testing. [4] Gun exhaust is essentially oxygen-free, and is capable of causing flameouts of gas turbines. The A-10 engines now have a self-sustaining combustion section.

4. Optical beam smoke detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_beam_smoke_detector

   An optical beam smoke detector is a device that uses a projected beam of light to detect smoke across large areas, [1] typically as an indicator of fire. [2] They are used to detect fires in buildings where standard point smoke detectors would either be uneconomical [ 3 ] or restricted for use by the height of the building.

   On September 4, 1992, BRK recalled all hardwired smoke alarms under the series 1839I and 2839I due to testing programs determining that corrosion could form on the alarm horn's electrical contacts, causing the piezo to fail to make any noise. [6] In May 2006, First Alert combination smoke alarms were recalled due to draining batteries rapidly. [7]

7. Smoke testing (software) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_testing_(software)

   Smoke testing is also done by testers before accepting a build for further testing. Microsoft claims that after code reviews, "smoke testing is the most cost-effective method for identifying and fixing defects in software". [10] One can perform smoke tests either manually or using an automated tool. In the case of automated tools, the process ...
