  • Wprowadzenie do termowizji i termografii

    Publication

    Termografię (termowizję) definiuje się jako proces obrazowania w paśmie średniej podczerwieni. Proces ten realizuje się poprzez rejestrację promieniowania cieplnego, emitowanego przez obserwowane ciała fizyczne, bez konieczności oświetlania ich zewnętrznym źródłem światła. W ten sposób można również dokonywać dokładnych pomiarów temperatury. Kompletny proces zawiera detekcję i rejestrację emitowanego promieniowania podczerwonego,...

    Polyurethanes (Pu’s) are the polymeric materials which have got urethane groups in the structure. The properties of Pu’s depend both on the method of preparation and monomers used. Polyurethanes are produced by two methods known as one step or two step method called as “pre-polymers method”, especially for the case of segmented polyurethanes (SPU’s). These materials are thermoplastic block copolymers of the (AB)n type consisting...

  • Cost-Efficient Design Methodology for Compact Rat-Race Couplers

    In this article, a reliable and low-cost design methodology for simulation-driven optimization of miniaturized rat-race couplers (RRCs) is presented. We exploit a two-stage design approach, where a composite structure (a basic building block of the RRC structure) is first optimized using a pattern search algorithm, and, subsequently, the entire coupler is tuned by means of surrogate-based optimization (SBO) procedure. SBO is executed...
