    Victoreen Civil Defense V-777-1 shelter radiation detection kit overview. CD Counters came in a variety of different models, each with specific capabilities. Each of these models has an analog meter from 1 to 5, with 1/10 tick marks. Thus, at X10, the meter reads from 1 to 50. CD meters were produced by a number of different firms under contract.

  3. Come-along - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come-along

    A come-along. A come-along, also known as a power puller, is a hand-operated winch with a ratchet used to pull objects. The drum is wrapped with wire rope.A similar tool that uses a nylon strap is used to straighten trees, as it straightens gradually over time, therefore not splitting the trunk.

  4. Survey meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survey_meter

    Survey meters in radiation protection are hand-held ionising radiation measurement instruments used to check such as personnel, equipment and the environment for radioactive contamination and ambient radiation. The hand-held survey meter is probably the most familiar radiation measuring device owing to its wide and visible use.

  5. Fixed Survey Meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_Survey_Meter

    Fixed Survey Meter. The instrument was designed and built by the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston as a replacement for the Radiac Survey Meter No 2 which could only be used above ground. The Royal Observer Corps’ need was for an instrument that could be read from inside the protected environment on the underground post.

  6. Geiger counter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geiger_counter

    A Geiger counter (/ ˈ ɡ aɪ ɡ ər /, GY-gər; [1] also known as a Geiger–Müller counter or G-M counter) is an electronic instrument for detecting and measuring ionizing radiation with the use of a Geiger–Müller tube. It is widely used in applications such as radiation dosimetry, radiological protection, experimental physics and the ...

  7. Automatic meter reading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_meter_reading

    Automatic meter reading (AMR) is the technology of automatically collecting consumption, diagnostic, and status data from water meter or energy metering devices (gas, electric) and transferring that data to a central database for billing, troubleshooting, and analyzing. This technology mainly saves utility providers the expense of periodic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_mobility_spectrometry

    Thus, TIMS devices do neither require large size nor high voltage in order to achieve high resolution, for instance achieving over 250 resolving power from a 4.7 cm device through the use of extended separation times. [25] However, the resolving power strongly depends on the ion mobility and decreases for more mobile ions.

  9. Quadrupole ion trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrupole_ion_trap

    Micromotion is the fast oscillation around the secular motion, which is enhanced when a stray dc electric field pushes the ion away from the center of the trap, located at the intersection of the axes. Note how the micromotion is always along the direction of the local rf field [10] LTQ (Linear trap quadrupole)
