The purpose of our study is to investigate the heat distribution and the occurring temperatures during grinding. Therefore, we did both experimental and numerical investigations. In the first part, we present the integration of an infrared thermopile array in a steel workpiece. Experiments are done by acquiring data from the thermopile array during grinding of a groove in a workpiece made of st...

Recent advances in heat flux measurement have produced a robust thermopile heat flux sensor intended for use in hypersonic flight research. The High Temperature Heat Flux Sensor (HTHFS) is capable of operation at sensor temperatures up to 1050°C with simultaneous measurement of thermopile surface temperature and heat flux. Customization of the sensor design allows implementation in a broad rang...

It is demonstrated how a commercially available MEMS thermopile infrared radiation sensor can be used as thermal conductivity gas detector (TCD). Since a TCD requires a heater while IR-thermopile sensors have no integrated heater, the thermopile itself is used as heater and temperature sensor at the same time. It is exposed to the measured gas environment in its housing. It is shown that, by us...

Temperature measurement in microwave systems is essential for thermally driven processes, namely, catalytic reactions and ceramic sintering. Although, the application of direct thermometry methods, namely, thermocouples, have been commonly articulated in the available literature, however, contacted temperature measurement mechanisms have aroused concerns associated with the disruption of the el...

The purpose of this study is a discussion on the multifaceted utilization indoor positioning systems such as building facility control, use situation grasping, and operational analysis in offices. Thermopile human sensors have been come into practical by MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) technology are becoming widespread. In report, accuracy presence / absence count detection for thermop...

In this study, we have measured temperature distribution using infrared optical fibers during radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Infrared radiations generated from the water around inserted electrode are transferred by silver halide optical fibers and are measured by a thermopile sensor. Also, the output voltages of a thermopile sensor are compared with those of the thermocouple recorder. It is exp...

The thermocolumn or thermopile comprises a series of thermoelements, each element being a thin wire made of two materials of different thermal activity. When a temperature difference occurs between the two ends of a wire, an electrical tension thermotension, develops. Connecting several thermoelements in series adds together the thermotension of each element, producing a useful electrical outpu...

Polarimetric imaging is widely used in applications from material analysis to biomedical diagnostics, vision and astronomy. The degree of circular polarization, or light ellipticity, is associated with the S3 Stokes parameter which is defined as the difference in the intensities of the left- and right-circularly polarized components of light. Traditional way of determining this parameter relies...
