IR temperature instruments span a range from cheap handheld point sensors to sophisticated microbolometer arrays that can resolve thermal images. In all cases, the technology relies on measuring the intensity of infrared light and correlating that value to the [blackbody radiation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation) curve with an assumed [emissivity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emissivity). + +### References + +### Operational Theory + +### Practical Considerations diff --git a/respirationsensing.md b/respirationsensing.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..8bfe4bee7213cda28b38cb425a366103eb8da3a7 --- /dev/null +++ b/respirationsensing.md @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +## Respiration Sensing + +### References + +### Operational Theory + +### Practical Considerations
