A non-invasive glucose measurement system based on the method of metabolic heat conformation (MHC) is presented in this paper. This system consists of three temperature sensors, two humidity sensors, an infrared sensor and an optical measurement device. The glucose level can be deduced from the quantity of heat dissipation, blood flow rate of local tissue and degree of blood oxygen saturation. ...

Infrared temperature-sensing techniques have the major advantages of virtually no interference of the sensor with the sensed phenomenon and fast inherent response. On the other hand, infrared temperature sensing, as a superficial measurement technique, does not indicate the specimen’s core temperatures, and hence a complementary thermal analysis is required. A thermal analysis of surface temper...

A proposed heat precipitation and thrombin interaction technic for fibrinogen isolation has been compared with a sulfite fractionation technic. All three methods exhibit a high degree of correlation. Fibrinogen, which has been separated from plasma by these technics, may be quantitated by the colorimetric modified biuret and phenol-biuret reaction. For direct measurement of fibrinogen, heat pre...

This paper addresses the differences in thermal characterization and modeling for a multi-chip package with respect to a single-chip package. Since no thermal measurement system is commercially available to power more than one device during the test, the thermal model can be validated only with a single-heat source. Wires, which are used to connect the package under the test to the measurement ...

A turbocharger’s performance is measured in a gas stand in order to provide information of the components characteristics. The measurement procedure is a very time consuming process and it is thus desired to make it more time-efficient. To allow for development of an enhanced control strategy used during the measurements, a 0D model of a gas stand is developed. The physical gas stand components...

In order for using building simulation tools, validation of building simulation should be evaluated. Integrated Environmental Solution (IES) is an environmental design tool which couples an intuitive 3-dimensional modeling interface with extensive performance analysis function covering different criteria such as day lighting, heat gain and energy. The validity of IES ha...
