    Although the actual inventor of the hand-held metal detector is disputed, the hand-held metal detector was made in 1925 and was first patented by Dr. Gerhard Fisher in 1931. A metal detector had been invented some forty years earlier (1881) by Alexander Graham Bell for the sole purpose of locating a lead bullet in President James A. Garfield.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everhart–Thornley_detector

    The E-T secondary electron detector can be used in the SEM's back-scattered electron mode by either turning off the Faraday cage or by applying a negative voltage to the Faraday cage. However, better back-scattered electron images come from dedicated BSE detectors rather than from using the E–T detector as a BSE detector.

    A magnetic anomaly detector (MAD) is an instrument used to detect minute variations in the Earth's magnetic field. [1] The term typically refers to magnetometers used by military forces to detect submarines (a mass of ferromagnetic material creates a detectable disturbance in the magnetic field ).

    Public safety diving team members bring in a casualty Controlling an underwater search from the jetty. Underwater search and recovery is the process of locating and recovering underwater objects, often by divers, [1] but also by the use of submersibles, remotely operated vehicles and electronic equipment on surface vessels.

  9. Diver detection sonar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diver_Detection_Sonar

    Diver detection sonar (DDS) systems are sonar and acoustic location systems employed underwater for the detection of divers and submerged swimmer delivery vehicles (SDVs). The purpose of this type of sonar system is to provide detection, tracking and classification information on underwater threats that could endanger property and lives.
