ACT sensor memory reset Answer YES with the battery pack. NO with the ambient heat bath alone. Reason Why The alarm latch is a one-bit memory that must be reset to its standard clear state before the radiation sensor can be reused. In this case, the charged battery pack is treated as a work medium, so it can drive a controlled reset and prepare the latch in its reusable standard state. The ambient bath is treated as a heat medium, so by itself it cannot perform the same reliable directed reset. The example also shows an irreversibility pattern: useful work can be degraded into dissipated heat during reset, but the ambient heat bath alone cannot reconstruct the charged work resource. Check C1 OK - the battery pack can drive a controlled reset C2 OK - the alarm latch can be reliably reset from work C3 OK - the latch can be prepared in its standard reusable state C4 OK - the sensor can be made ready for reuse C5 OK - the work resource can degrade to heat during reset C6 OK - the ambient heat bath cannot drive a controlled reset C7 OK - the latch cannot be reliably reset from heat alone C8 OK - the latch cannot be prepared in its standard state from heat alone C9 OK - the sensor cannot be made ready for reuse from heat alone C10 OK - the ambient heat bath cannot reconstruct the charged work resource by itself
