Rad-Pro (Radiative Properties)

Emissivity

From a webpage of Dr.Zhuomin Zhang at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta GA, USA:
Nanoscale Thermal Radiation Laboratory
In order to achieve high-accuracy temperature measurements in rapid thermal processing (RTP) using lightpipe radiation thermometry, it is critical to be able to determine the radiative properties of silicon wafers with thin-film coatings such as silicon dioxide, silicon [...]

Screening Humans For Flu by IR Body Temperature

IR Temperature

To quote part of the web page at our companion website, About Temperature Sensors, (on SARS Temperature Sensors from 2004).
Primarily, Infrared Thermal Imagers are used in screening people for elevated body temperature. While not the most precise method to measure human body temperature, infrared thermal imagers or scanners are good at determining if someone appears [...]

Cutting Temperature Measurements of Segmented Chips using Dual-Spectrum High-Speed Microvideography

Heat Transfer

By Heigel, J. C., Ivester, R. W., Whitenton, E. P., NIST, Transactions of NAMRI/SME, Vol. 36, pp. 73-80, (May 2008).
ABSTRACT:
Dual-Spectrum high speed microvideography involves the use of synchronized high speed visible light (30,000 frames/s) and infrared (600 frames/s) cameras. This paper presents analysis method and results of such a system to determine chip temperatures [...]
