The application of sensors encompasses many sectors of industry. In this paper, we outline different sensors – Raman distributed temperature sensor, sensor based on nano ferrofluids and MEMS based ultrasonic sensors. The development and application of these sensors for monitoring performance of systems and processes are discussed. Further, we also discuss the application of acoustic emission an...

In recent years, thermal image has extensively been used in many fields such as military (e.g., target acquisition, surveillance, night vision, homing and tracking) and civilian purposes (e.g., medical diagnosis, thermal efficiency analysis, environmental monitoring). It may be a promising alternative for investigation of facial expression and emotion. Currently there are very few database to s...

The heat treatment and sintering processes are dependent on time, temperature, and atmosphere. Precisely monitoring and controlling each of these parameters can result in higher productivity and improved part quality. The LINEMOD supervisory control and monitoring software addresses these issues by estimating the thermal and physical conditions inside a furnace using mathematical models. ASM He...

background: dams are one of the most important manmade buildings to provide of drinking water. in order to manage of water quality in dams reservoirs, the recognition of phenomena that occurred in it is essential. thermal stratification is one of the major problems that decrease the water quality of dam. the aim of this study was to investigate thermal stratification of ekbatan dam (hamadan) as...

non-invasive ultrasound surgeries such as high intensity focused ultrasound have been developed to treat tumors or to stop bleeding. in this technique, incorporation of a suitable imaging modality to monitor and control the treatments is essential so several imaging methods such as x-ray, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound imaging have been proposed to monitor the induced thermal lesions...
