This study conducted infrared (IR) thermography tests using pipe and plate specimens with artificial wall-thinning defects to find an optimal condition for IR thermography test on the wall-thinned nuclear piping components. In the experiment halogen lamp was used to heat the specimens. The distance between the specimen and the lamp and the intensity of halogen lamp were regarded as experimental parameter. When the distance was set to 1~2 m and the lamp intensity was above 60 % of full power, a single scanning of IR thermography detected all artificial wall-thinning defects, whose minimum dimension was $2{\Theta}=90^{\circ}$, d/t=0.5, and $L/D_o=0.25$, within the pipe of 500 mm in length. Regardless of the distance between the specimen and the lamp, the image of wall-thinning defect in IR thermography became distinctive as the intensity of halogen lamp increased. The detectability of IR thermography was similar for both plate and pipe specimens, but the optimal test condition for IR thermography depended on the type of specimen.

The reflector of infrared lamp is designed to the optimal circular shape through the analyses of lumination distributions with a triangular, rectangular and circular configurations of infrared lamps respectively by using Photopia. PLC is used to compare and amplify the difference between soldering temperature profile and feedback value. It is fed to IR lamp controller which adjusts the soldering temperature of PV cell. The soldering temperature measured using an infrared temperature sensor is then fed back to the PLC. The closed control loop of soldering temperature on a PV cell is implemented. The noncontact soldering device of PV cells using infrared lamp which is easily operated by HMI operation panel and controlled robustly by PLC and IR lamp controller is developed.

This paper proposes the effective compensation method fur the IR lamp deterioration in NDIR capnograph system. The newly designed optical chamber with two IR lamps and an electronic hardware for controlling lamp intensity have been implemented. After applying the proposed optical chamber and reference lamp control circuit to the NDIR type capnograph system, it is identified that the proposed method can compensate the lamp deterioration effectively.

For a human being's smooth activity, the clean air and comfortable lighting environment are needed. The suitable lighting environment is obtained generally by making it available for being formed the bright situation easy for seeing object and the visually comfortable atmosphere. In this way, even the lighting environment was changed along with economic development. Even a light source was diversified. Thus, several kinds of new light sources such as LED, OLED, PLS, and CNT came to appear. Halogen lamp, which has low efficiency due to high color rendering among lamps of being used now, is being much used yet. However, owing to radiation of UV and IR, there are many limitations to the subject in general exhibition lighting, museum, and art museum. Accordingly, a research was performed on filter that is blocked UV and IR at the same time, by using halogen lamp that is excellent in color rendering and in life.

The auto-illumination controller for office, residence, and so on was studied. The system consists of parts of a power supply, a signal oscillator, a lamp controller and two kinds of sensor. The lamp controller has two thyristors triggered by the IR sensor(SCRI) and CdS sensor(SCR2) respectively, When the illuminance around this system is higher than operating value of its sensor, lamp is turned off automatically. Otherwise, the light of lamp gets dim by CdS sensor. In case IR sensor senses the body heat of people around itself, the illuminance of the lamp gets maximum. The illuminance of the lamp can be changed dimmly by control of the variable resistor (RV) connected with SCR2 in series. The turning - on time of the lamp can be also controlled using a variable resistor(Rt) connected with a signal oscillator in parallel. Changing resistance Rt changes the time constant(.tau.), which triggers the gate of SCR2. Though people left the surrounding of lamp, the lamp keeps light for a while.

위성의 발사, 천이궤도, 운영궤도 등에서 위성체에 주어지는 극한 온도와 진공상태에서 위성체와 열제어시스템이 요구 조건을 만족시키는가를 확인하기 위하여 열진공시험을 수행한다. 우주에서 일어나는 환경변화는 극도로 심해서 지상에서 이와 유사한 열적 환경을 모사하는 방법은 쉽지가 않고, 일반적으로 위성체에 대한 열진공/평형 시험을 위해서는 열유속 흡수법과 열유속 투사법의 두 가지 방법을 사용한다. 한국항공우주연구원에서는 종래 접촉식 히터를 위성체에 직접 부착하는 방법에서 탈피하여 새로이 IR Lamp를 이용한 열유속 흡수법을 이용하여 위성체에 계산된 열유속을 인가하는 방법으로 위성체 열진공/평형시험을 수행하였으며, IR Lamp는 요구되는 100W~400W 사이의 열량을 오차 범위 5% 이내로 인가하여 균일한 온도 분포를 유지하고 성공적인 시험을 수행하였다.

A Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) system operated below $500^{\circ}C$ has been designed and constructed. It uses an optical pyrometer for measuring wafer temperature, the sensing range of pyrometer is from $2.0{\mu}m$ to $2.4{\mu}m$. To remove the interference effect by IR emitted from lamps an IR filter is adapted which uses water. The best condition for Al alloy using the RTP system is $425^{\circ}C$ for ten seconds. The RTP system uses many lamps for supplying enough power in processing wafer because the absorption wavelength range of IF filter is from $1.3{\mu}m$ to $4.0{\mu}m$. However, reproducibility and uniformity is reduced due to the difference of lamp characteristics. Therefore, for improving the reproducibility and uniformity new RTP system using one lamp is designed. The new RTP system uses a focusing mirror and it focuses the light of lamp. The curverture of the focusing mirror is controlled to supply uniform power in processing wafer. The result of computer simulation shows the possibility of new RTP system using one lamp.

In this paper, a new background subtraction algorithm for video based fence monitoring surveillance systems is proposed. We adopt the sampling based background subtraction technique and focus on the two main issues: handling highly dynamic environment and handling the flickering nature of pulse based IR (infrared) lamp. Natural scenes from fence monitoring system are usually composed of several dynamic entities such as swaying trees, moving water, waves and rain. To deal with such dynamic backgrounds, we utilize the confidence factor for each background value of the input image. For the flickering IR lamp, the original sampling based technique is extended to handle double background models. Experimental results revealed that our method works well in real fence monitoring surveillance systems.

This paper presents the IR-Lamp test results of evaluating heat protection performance and measuring of mechanical/thermal properties in the heat protection material of missile external surface. The results showed that increasing the contents of microballoons improved the heat protection performance, but the mechanical properties were deteriorated. Among the kinds of microballoons, Epoxy/Phenolic Microballoons mixture showed the best mechanical properties and low thermal conductivity. Epoxy/Cork mixture showed the best heat protection in the IR-Lamp test, though it has low mechanical properties and high thermal conductivity.
