Is it a Cold or the Flu?
The Flu Almost Always Brings a Fever, According to Exergen According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), influenza-like illness activity is now widespread in 48 states, making this the worst flu season since 2003. From 2010 to 2019, the annual death rate from the flu has increased from approximately 12,000 deaths per […]
Why Color Does Not Affect Readings
In many IRt/c installations, such as paint curing, web drying, printing, etc., the temperature control system must be able to accurately measure materials with a variety of colors. Ideally the same calibration set-up would be used for all colors, rather than having to calibrate each time a new color is run. Because the IRt/c measures […]

Over 90 years young and still going strong in his second career after his retirement in 1985 from Polaroid: The Ultimate Secret
Clean Air Purge for microIRt/c's
The Challenge Infrared temperature sensors are ideally suited for use in manufacturing, textiles, printing and other production settings. They provide a highly effective solution to ensure machinery does not overheat or otherwise malfunction. Oil, thread, dust, airborne chemicals and other debris emitted during production can quickly obscure the IR temperature sensing heads. The smallest amount […]
Infrared Fixation on Large Format Printers
General Information Flags, carpet, tiles and everything else that is printed on Large Format Printers with protective paint needs to be completely dried, cured or fixated before the end-products can be cut, folded, or otherwise worked on. Depending on the paint, most of the inks are water-based and short- or middle wavelength IR lamps can […]
How the Pit Viper Measures Infrared Radiation
Like the IRt/c Infrared Thermocouple, the pit viper has the ability to “see” infrared radiation.
Pit vipers comprise a family of snakes that share a sophisticated thermal adaptation that stems from the evolution of specialized pit organs located near their eyes.

Measuring Blood Temperature in Perfusion Systems
To ensure that the correct blood temperature is maintained from start to finish, the amount of heat applied to the blood must be tightly controlled and be adjusted to the flow and inlet temperature of the donor blood.
Non-Contact Heat Sealing Temperature Control for Packaging Machinery with IRt/c’s
IRt/c infrared thermocouples can accurately control the temperature of rotating and moving stainless steel heaters common in the packaging industry, without touching the heaters. Typically, uncoated stainless steel heaters are difficult for IR sensors to measure reliably because of reflected infrared signals that can change after after a heater surface is cleaned. The solution to […]
Vacuum Sealing Packing Machines
We like our food to be as fresh as can be. Vacuum-Sealing
packaging can extend the shelf life of food products by
preventing exposure to the natural atmosphere, thereby
slowing down the microbial deterioration of the product.
Tips & Tricks in the IR Market
Infrared temperature sensors or IR Sensors function in a similar way: they detect infrared radiation and convert it into a signal to process. Only infrared temperature sensors don’t pick up the visible light.
Through the Looking Glass
The Story of Alice’s Quest for Emissivity “It’s all done with mirrors!’’ “What do I see when I look in my mirror?” asked Alice. “I see myself, of course.” “But what about the mirror why can’t I see the mirror itself” she pondered. “Maybe it’s because the mirror is invisible? Na, if it were, I […]
An Accurate Thermometer is First Line of Defense in Preventing a Measles Epidemic
Thermometers are Must-Pack Items for Summer Travel Before they zip up the duffle bag or shut the suitcase, parents across the country have one more thing to pack before they head off for vacation this summer: an accurate thermometer. Reported measles epidemic cases have exceeded 1,000 in the first six months of 2019 — the […]
