Opto-thermal Radiometry for Detection of Surface Contamination

Fast Focal Plane Array Detector and Readout for Pulsed Opto- Thermal Radiometry

Mid-infrared focal plane array spectroscopic or spatial imaging of opto-thermal transient emission is reported. Pulsed near-surface optical heating of arbitrary unprepared room temperature surfaces produce depth-resolved transient thermal emissions in the mid-infrared chemical fingerprint spectral region. Two optical configurations, both offering a significant advance in pulsed photothermal rad...

The 1990 NIST Scales of Thermal Radiometry

Following an absolute NIST measurement of the freezing temperature of gold and the adoption of the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90), NIST has adopted new measurement scales for the calibration services based on thermal radiometry. In this paper, the new scales are defined and compared to the ITS-90, and the effects of the scale changes on NIST measurement services in optical pyr...

islanding detection methods for microgrids

امروزه استفاده از منابع انرژی پراکنده کاربرد وسیعی یافته است . اگر چه این منابع بسیاری از مشکلات شبکه را حل می کنند اما زیاد شدن آنها مسائل فراوانی برای سیستم قدرت به همراه دارد . استفاده از میکروشبکه راه حلی است که علاوه بر استفاده از مزایای منابع انرژی پراکنده برخی از مشکلات ایجاد شده توسط آنها را نیز منتفی می کند . همچنین میکروشبکه ها کیفیت برق و قابلیت اطمینان تامین انرژی مشترکان را افزایش ...

Electronic Noses for Composites Surface Contamination Detection in Aerospace Industry

The full exploitation of Composite Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) in so-called green aircrafts design is still limited by the lack of adequate quality assurance procedures for checking the adhesive bonding assembly, especially in load-critical primary structures. In this respect, contamination of the CFRP panel surface is of significant concern since it may severely affect the bonding and the...
