‘Medical Imaging’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from Ircon, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release NI expands HIL simulation platform from National Instruments: "National Instruments (NI) has announced the expansion of its hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation platform, which includes numerous products to optimise embedded system validation. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Fluke (UK) - take a look at Fluke offers trial promotion of Ti9 thermal imager which says: "Fluke is offering handheld Ti9 electrical thermal imagers for electricians with limited or no experience of using them to inspect, repair and verify electrical infrastructure and equipment.".

Take a look also at the news release from Micro-Epsilon UK, Micro-Epsilon introduces thermal-imaging cameras , as well as Dynamometer helps maintain satellite position from Kistler Instruments, and Stemmer camera has monochrome CCD sensors from Stemmer Imaging.
