•What is it? A PASS device (Personal Alert Safety System) also known as a ADSU (Automatic Distress Signal Unit), is a personal safety device used primarily by firefighters entering a hazardous environment such as a burning building.

•How does it work? The PASS device sounds a loud audible alert to notify others in the area that the firefighter is in distress. Older models required the wearer to manually signal a distress, whereas modern units retain a manual alarm but also monitor the wearer’s motion via a ball bearing or accelerometer that triggers an alert should the wearer be inactive for a preset amount of time.

•How can it be used? It can be activated manually by the firefighter, or activates automatically if the firefighter stops moving.

•Advantages? Allows firefighters to not have to rely and shouting and waste their oxygen when they are in smoke.

•Disadvantages? Could not work correctly or be faulty.

An X-ray machine produces a controlled beam of radiation, which is used to create an image of the inside of your body. This beam is directed at the area being examined. After passing through the body, the beam falls on a piece of film or a special plate where it casts a type of shadow. Different tissues in the body block or absorb the radiation differently. Dense tissue, such as bone, blocks most of the radiation and appears white on the film. Soft tissue, such as muscle, blocks less radiation and appears darker on the film. Often multiple images are taken from different angles so a more complete view of the area is available. The images obtained during X-ray exams may be viewed on film or put through a process called “digitizing” so that they can be viewed on a computer screen.

Sometimes an X-ray exam includes contrast. For a contrast study, you will receive a drug called a contrast agent, which will highlight or contrast parts of the body so they show more clearly on the X-ray image.

Example of Uses:       X-ray exams can be used to view, monitor, or diagnose

bone fractures

joint injuries and infections

artery blockages

abdominal pain

Resonance frequency is the key factor in a geophone, and it has to be low for the measurement of low-frequency signals. On the other hand, geophone must exhibit high bandwidth to measure high-frequency signals as well. However, most of the currently available geophones include mechanical springs that decrease the performance of the device

•What is it? An X-ray machine is a device that produces X-rays. It is commonly used in a variety of applications including medicine, fluorescence, electronic assembly inspection, and measurement of material thickness in manufacturing operations. In medical applications, X-ray generators are used by radiographers to acquire x-ray images of the internal structures (e.g., bones) of living organisms, and also in sterilization.

•How does it work? An X-ray machine generally contains an X-ray tube to produce the X-rays. The heart of an X-ray machine is an electrode pair, a cathode and an anode, that sits inside a glass vacuum tube. The cathode is a heated filament, like you might find in an older fluorescent lamp. The machine passes current through the filament, heating it up. The heat sputters electrons off of the filament surface. The positively-charged anode, a flat disc made of tungsten, draws the electrons across the tube.

•How can it be used? X-rays are recorded on film or recorded digitally. A radiologist, who is a physician with specialized training in X-ray and other imaging tests, will analyze and interpret the results of your X-ray and then send a report to your personal physician.

•Advantages?

– X-ray exam is fast and easy and the equipment used is relatively inexpensive and widely available.

•Disadvantages? – Women should inform their doctor if they are or may be pregnant or nursing prior to any radiological imaging. Your doctor may recommend another type of test to reduce the possible risk of exposing your baby to radiation. Also there is a rare risk of a major allergic reaction to the contrast agent.

Fax (short for facsimile), sometimes called telecopying or telefax (the latter short for telefacsimile), is the telephonic transmission of scanned printed material (both text and images), normally to a telephone number connected to a printer or other output device. The original document is scanned with a fax machine (or a telecopier), which processes the contents (text or images) as a single fixed graphic image, converting it into a bitmap, and then transmitting it through the telephone system in the form of audio-frequency tones. The receiving fax machine interprets the tones and reconstructs the image, printing a paper copy.[1] Early systems used direct conversions of image darkness to audio tone in a continuous or analog manner. Since the 1980s, most machines modulate the transmitted audio frequencies using a digital representation of the page which is compressed to quickly transmit areas which are all-white or all-black.

Detection of explosives has the flavor of those mathematical problems that are not invertible. It is easier to hide explosives than to find them. Many approaches have been proposed and executed for the remote detection of explosives, contraband materials, weapons of mass destruction, currency, etc. Most detection technologies suffer from a common problem: the features they look for, such as discontinuities in electrical conductivity, are not unique properties of the target but are contained, to some degree, in the more benign surroundings. Such a degeneracy leads to "clutter" in the response. For example, resolving the false alarms generated by this clutter can determine the rate of advance of a conventional electromagnetic metal detector employed as a landmine detector. One approach that provides a "unique" signature is nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) (the technique is also called QR, to avoid confusion with strictly nuclear techniques). This paper outlines the important physical principles behind the use of NQR for remote detection, indicates areas of applicability, and presents results of field trials of a prototype landmine detection system

A flight simulator is used for pilots mainly, this can be training for people who want to be able to fly planes as a job. This ensures the safety of passengers because they would be able to see if they would be able to fly a plane properly before going into the real thing. The cost for a flight simulator is between $500,000 to $4 million. the quality of the service is very good because it dosent mean they put them selves and an expensive plane at risk straight away.

X-rays are a type of radiation that can pass through the body. They can't be seen by the naked eye and you can't feel them.

As they pass through the body, the energy from X-rays is absorbed at different rates by different parts of the body. A detector on the other side of the body picks up the X-rays after they've passed through and turns them into an image.

Electronic monitoring known as a tag it is used in England and Wales to monitor curfews and conditions of a court or prison order. If you're given a tag, it will usually attach to your ankle.

Basically you wear a tag if you’ve done something bad but not bad enough to be jailed for an example anti-social behaviour. The time length of wearing them can be different depending what you have done the minimum is a month but you can wear it for much longer such as 6 months onwards.

A tag doesn’t allow the police to track you, it just alerts them if you are out past curfew. Curfew times can vary normally between 6pm-9pm they have to be home. Police officers get alerted if not, they also get alerted if the tag has been tampered with, like if someone has tried to cut it off.

CCTV (closed-circuit television) is a TV system in which signals are not publicly distributed but are monitored for surveillance and security purposes. CCTV relies on strategic placement of cameras, and observation of the camera's input on monitors somewhere.

Once an image has been picked by the camera it is taken to the monitor and then recorded on video tape or DVR. The ability of the camera to zoom in and out is determined by the type of lens it has.

CCTV helps protects people’s homes/ businesses/ properties. All public services will use CCTV but for different reasons. For example policemen/ paramedics have CCTV on their car recording on call incidents.  An example of when the Fire Service use CCTV when they are called to a fire they may use nearby cameras to see if they have evidence to how the fire was set etc.

X-radiation (composed of X-rays) is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Most X-rays have a wavelength ranging from 0.01 to 10 nanometers, corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz and energies in the range 100 eV to 100 keV. X-ray wavelengths are shorter than those of UV rays and typically longer than those of gamma rays.
