  • SAFETY SYSTEMS REQUIRING INTENTIONAL FUNCTION ACTIVATION AND MATERIAL TESTING SYSTEMS INCLUDING SAFETY SYSTEMS REQUIRING INTENTIONAL FUNCTION ACTIVATION
    Publication number: 20240159634
    Abstract: Safety systems requiring intentional function activation and material testing systems including safety systems requiring intentional function activation are disclosed. An example material testing system includes: an actuator configured to control an operator-accessible component of the material testing system; an operator interface comprising a plurality of inputs; a pressure sensitive surface configured to: detect the presence of a pressure on the surface; and output a pressure signal in response to detecting the pressure; and one or more processors configured to: control the actuator based on at least one of a material testing process or an input from the operator interface; and require two or more inputs to be received to permit at least one operation of the actuator, at least one of the two or more inputs comprising the non-detection signal.
