A new monitoring method for determination of average hydrogenerator field winding temperature is introduced in order to increase the robustness measurement system using classic U-I method. The approach prone error due brush voltage drop, especially when low. Developed thermal model based on current and cold cooling air measurements, as well temperatures acquired from digital sensors mounted acr...

Thermal monitoring of a design plays a vital role to ensure safe and reliable thermal operating conditions. Thermal monitoring by employing thermal sensors is a popular technique for assessing thermal behavior and providing directives for run-time preventive measures. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) offer a wide range of functionalities and therefore static placement of thermal sensors d...

Thermography, or thermal visualization is a type of infrared visualization. Thermographic cameras are used in many heavy factories like metal recycling factories, wafer production factories and etc for monitoring the temperature conditions of the machines. Besides, thermographic camera can be used to detect trespassers in environment with poor lighting condition, whereby, the conventional digit...

current standards for indoor comfort are based on studies of adults, but they also apply tochildren, even though children differ in terms of metabolic rates, clothing types, activity levels, and preferences in space arrangement. children are also more sensitive to a range of environmental factors, they are usually unable to interact with their environment, and they accept indoor conditions pass...

The present paper proposes a novel methodology to monitor sleep apnea through thermal imaging. First, the nostril region is segmented and it is tracked over time via a network of cooperating probabilistic trackers. Then, the mean thermal signal of the nostril region, carrying the breathing information, is analyzed through wavelet decomposition. The experimental set included 22 subjects (12 men ...
