- The two main types of stress testing are a standard exercise stress test and an imaging stress test. Standard Exercise Stress Test. A standard exercise stress test uses an EKG (electrocardiogram) to detect and record the heart's electrical activity. An EKG shows how fast your heart is beating and the heart's rhythm (steady or irregular).

Emergency Alert System (EAS) The President has sole responsibility for determining when the EAS will be activated at the national level, and has delegated this authority to the director of FEMA. FEMA is responsible for implementation of the national-level activation of the EAS, tests, and exercises. The NWS develops emergency weather information to alert the public about imminent dangerous weather conditions. The FCC's role includes prescribing rules that establish technical standards for the EAS, procedures for EAS participants to follow in the event The EAS is activated, and EAS testing protocols.

Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System Radios in a professional two-way radio system using CTCSS always transmit their own tone code whenever the transmit button is pressed (the tone is transmitted at a low level simultaneously with the voice).This is called CTCSS encoding.ften, there is a distinction between the terms tone and tone squelch, in which the former refers to the use of transmitting a CTCSS tone while using standard carrier squelch on the receiver.

THE GLOSSARY OF A radiological emergency is an emergency in which there is, or is perceived to be, a hazard due to radiation exposure from a source. As sources of radiation are used in various fields, including industry, medicine and research, radiological emergencies may occur anywhere. These are examples of radiological emergency situations and associated conditions that a first responder may face: 1  Medical Symptoms of Radiation Exposure. 2  Loss or Theft of Dangerous Radioactive Source. 3  Public Radioactive Contamination/Exposure.

- The most commonly used leak test methods are. underwater bubble test, bubble soap paint, pressure and vacuum decay, and tracer. gas detectors (halogen, helium and hydrogen). The first three techniques, due to. their characteristics and sensitivity, can be used only for gross leak detection (300. g/y (10.5 oz) or more refrigerant leakages). Tracer gas leak testing methods are. much more precise than the previous group but, in many cases, their theoretical.

Impulse Dielectric Test Dielectric testing can be dielectric withstanding testing and dielectric breakdown testing.. A dielectric breakdown is regarded as a dramatic and sudden increase of a material's electrical conductivity when a high voltage is applied. If the insulation withstands this high voltage, then the product is safe to use.
