A hybrid approach, combining thermographic signal reconstruction (TSR) and pulsed phase thermography (PPT), is proposed and tested for the depth estimation of subsurface defects from pulsed thermographic data. First, TSR is used to obtain the polynomial coefficients from raw data. A synthetic thermogram sequence is then reconstructed from the obtained coefficients. Finally, quantitative PPT is ...

Poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) is the major polymer used for photovoltaic (PV) modules encapsulation. Its degree of cross-linking (related to its gel content) is taken as a major quality reference. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) has been proven to be fast and effective but is to determine the gel content, however, destructive for the PV module. With the aim to develop a non-des...

A method has been suggested for the estimation of nonisothermal kinetic parameters from TG curve at any temperature. This would help to resole reactions from a single thermogram. Some methods have been suggested to calculate nonisothermal kinetic parameters for some reactions. Intreraisokinetic or intrakinetic compensation effect technique is employed to resolve reactions. Calcium oxalate decom...

Isoplethic thermal analysis was used to determine the solid-liquid-liquid equilibria in the ternary system water-sodium sulfatepiperidine. The changes in state observed on the thermogram recorded during the displacement in a quasi-binary section permit the identification of the different phases and the delimitation of the corresponding equilibrium domains. Two isotherms were established at 25°C...

Diabetes foot ulceration (DFU) and amputation are a cause of significant morbidity. The prevention DFU may be achieved by the identification patients at risk institution preventative measures through education offloading. Several studies have reported that thermogram images help to detect an increase in plantar temperature prior DFU. However, distribution heterogeneous, making it difficult quan...

OBJECTIVE To develop and refine qualitative mapping and quantitative analysis techniques to define 'thermal territories' of the post-partum abdomen, the caesarean section site and the infected surgical wound. In addition, to explore women's perspectives on thermal imaging and acceptability as a method for infection screening. METHOD Prospective feasibility study undertaken at a large Universi...

Background: Thermoregulation is a complex autonomic process to keep or to dissipate heat in the human body. Methods: In this work, by means of the thermogram of the plantar skin, the thermoregulation of healthy individuals, overweight-obese, and diabetic is discussed. Results: The thermograms of the plantar skin, for the healthy individuals, are: (1) symmetrical, the temperature distribution of...
