The global aerospace and marine data recorder market is segmented into flight data recorder (FDR), cockpit voice recorder (CVR), and voyage data recorder (VDR), which are used for both commercial and defense applications. While the CVR records radio transmissions, pilot's voices, and engine noises, the FDR preserves a recording of the operating functions of a plane such as time, altitude, fuel levels, and airspeed. Similarly, the VDR records data such as wind speed and direction, the ship's location, and the direction that the ship is traveling. The data recorded from these devices is retrieved and used for investigating accidents.

Cardiac rhythm management (CRM) devices are used to treat patients with abnormal heart rhythm disorders.

Portable ultrasound devices are imaging devices that utilize echo-enhanced ultrasound waves to aid in medical diagnosis. They are convenient to carry since they are lighter and smaller than conventional ultrasound machines. Portable ultrasound devices can be used at POC and operated on battery power. Conventional ultrasound machines have low diagnostic accuracy and difficulty in imaging overweight patients as sound waves cannot pass very deep into the body. However, portable ultrasound devices are highly sensitive and can even detect pancreatic tumors, which is not possible with conventional ultrasound devices. Portable ultrasound devices are also useful in situations where space is limited and during onfield scanning (e.g., scanning during epidemics). Their low cost makes them ideal for private gynecology practices. In addition, these devices find use in pediatrics, cardiology, endocrinology, and radiology and for vascular conditions.

A multimeter, also known as a multitester or a VOM, is a type of electronic measurement instrument that incorporates several measurement functions in one compact unit. The most basic features include measurement of.

This report is a collection of reliability and maintenance data on several types of radiation protection instrumentation. Some radiation detectors are used for personnel safety; others are used for environmental stewardship. Six types of instruments are addressed in this report. These are: continuous air monitors, tritium room air monitors, facility vent stack monitors, tritium bubbler monitors, tritium in effluent water monitors, and general purpose radiation survey meters. Literature searches, operating experience data, and occurrence reports were used to identify failure modes and to estimate quantitative failure rates for several general types of radiation protection instruments. Likewise, data on instrument repair has been found when possible and used to estimate the mean time to repair. These data can be useful for facility safety assessment, personnel safety assessment, environment assessment, and for equipment and labor planning purposes.

Thermoluminescence reader is an important tool and a requisite for a researcher to study and characterize Thermoluminescence (TL) materials in different forms. Requirement for a versatile PC Controlled TL Reader has been felt for quite some time globally. Nucleonix Systems, Hyderabad, India, have developed a PC Controlled TL Reader by integrating complete electronics hardware circuits (comprising of Power Electronics, Low/High voltage Supplies, Temperature Controller, Micro Controller based data acquisition circuits having serial counter, ADC, DAC, EEPROM, PMT, PMT housing, sample heating system, drawer assembly, etc.) in a single enclosure. The system also integrated with software to calculate the activation energy (E), frequency factor (S) and order of kinetics '1' for the prominent glow peaks using different equations. This Integral TL Reader unit gets connected to the Personal Computer System through serial port RS232C/USB port. The user interface to the system is through front-end VB software defined Graphics User Interface (GUI). The system also contains some of the software features like glow curve acquisition, analysis, filing, printing, plotting, overlapping, maker data reporting, etc. Additionally, system facilitates single/two/three plateau heating with variable heating rates. The primary objective of this development is to bring out versatile TL instrumentation system and also to make it affordable to many of the researchers in the Universities and other areas, including Radio-therapist, Medical Physicists in Cancer Hospitals. This system has been evaluated for its performance with CaSO_4 Dy discs, powder, as well as with LiF: Mg, Ti chips. Linearity and reproducibility have been found to be quite satisfactory also within ±2%. This system is quite useful to study the TL of phosphor, minerals and characterization of various solid semiconducting materials, and also can be used in personal dosimetry measurements and research studies in medical dosimetry, environmental radiation monitoring, and host of other applications in R&D Labs., etc.

The Thermo Scientific Toxic Vapor Analyzer (TVA)-1000B is an intrinsically safe direct reading portable monitor that uses either a flame ionization detector, a photoionization detector, or both simultaneously to provide real-time measurements of organic and some inorganic vapor concentrations in air. This field guide provides operators and incident commanders the basic concepts for effective use of the TVA-1000B, including principles of operation and supplies required.

Our contribution is based on a research aimed to a "quick" resolution of an integrated problem oriented towards the self-localization and perimetration through mobile devices. The adopted methodology is applied on a real case study by using the following surveying tools: a kinematic Global Positioning System (GPS) and a Laser Scanner supporting a "mobile platform". A GPS receiver provided by Leica Geosystem and a two-dimensional Laser Scanner provided by the Automation and Control Laboratory of the University "Mediteranea" of Reggio Calabria were positioned on an experimental mobile system specifically designed to simulate the behaviour of a future and fully automated platform. The research is aimed to conduct the traditional land surveying through a Laser Scanner alongside with GPS receivers in a three dimensional centimetric resolution within one single system of reference made up of individual scans operated by a "Stop-and-Go" device.
