  1. Using Thermal Imaging For Companion Diagnostics 1/14/2015

    This application note describes how researchers from the clinical research center of Charité Berlin use a thermal imaging camera from FLIR to analyze and objectify the body’s response to various allergens.

  2. High Speed Infrared Imaging And The Ballistics Of 'Punkin Chunkin' 3/14/2013

    In an effort to improve the performance of their massive 120 foot pneumatic air cannon at the 2012 World Punkin Chunkin Championship (WCPC), American Chunker team captain Brian Labrie invited FLIR Systems’ infrared experts David Bursell and Ron Lucier to join his diverse crew of chunkin’-crazed engineers, scientists, and fabricators. With the addition of a high speed, high resolution MWIR infrared camera, the team was able to use thermal analysis of pumpkin ballistics to improve design and performance as they prepared for the event.

  3. The Evaluation Of Increase And Distribution Of Temperature During The Dental Drilling Using A Thermal Imaging Camera 2/17/2012

    This paper discusses the use of infrared technology to study the optimal method for post space preparation of teeth including how long to drill, the type and size of dental drill used, and the type of cooling used. By Joanna Lubieniecka, M. Sc. Eng., Jerzy Lukasiewicz, M. Sc. Eng., Joanna Bozyk, MDS, and Janusz Kleinrok, DMD

  4. Pre-, Intra-, And Postoperative Use Of Dynamic Infrared Thermography (DIRT) Provides Valuable Information On Skin Perfusion In Perforator Flaps Used In Reconstructive Surgery 2/17/2012

    A study of dynamic infrared thermography (DIRT) in all three phases of perforator flap surgery. By James B. Mercer, Louis de Weerd, Åshild Odden Miland, and Sven Weum

  5. Coat Of Many Colors: Cases In Equine Thermal Imaging 2/17/2012

    Infrared cameras have improved, procedures have been standardized, and veterinarians have become familiar with interpretation of the images. By Joanna L. Robson, DVM

  6. Visualization Of Air Flows With An Infrared Camera: Presentation Of A Simple Technique And Examples Of Data Analysis 2/17/2012

    This paper first describes a simple and easy-to-implement indirect technique allowing for visualizing air flows. By Dr.Raphaël Danjoux, Prof. Rafael Royo Pastor, and Prof. Sébastien Thunevin

  7. How To Calculate Vapor Velocities Using A GasFindIR Camera 2/17/2012

    The formula for velocity is distance divided by time (V=D/T). Using digital video editing software, frames from recorded GasFindIR videos provide for a stop motion capture of the vapors at millisecond (ms) intervals. By Erik Mischker

  8. Using Thermal Mapping At The Data Center 2/17/2012

    Cooling the servers in data centers efficiently is critical to increasing IT reliability, maintaining high performance, and reducing electrical usage. This article discusses the reasoning behind using infrared thermography (IRT) to commission and monitor data centers’ cooling systems.
     

  9. Thermal Imaging Of Power MOSFETs Under Thermal Runaway Conditions 2/16/2012

    The Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) has become one of the world’s most manufactured items. Whereas older power MOSFETs would share internal power, newer MOSFETs grab the current, causing thermal runaway. Using a thermal camera and an oscilloscope to look at the voltage and current internal to the MOSFET, we can gain an understanding of how a hot spot develops on the surface of the MOSFET.

  10. Effects Of Heat On Firearm Barrels 2/16/2012

    The purpose of this study is to examine the advantage of using a thermal imaging system to capture the effects of heat on gun barrels. The thermal imaging camera will provide such data as the temperatures reached and the distribution of heat along the barrel. By Matthew Iannone, FLIR Systems, Inc.
