This document discusses pyrometers, which are devices used to measure temperature without physical contact by measuring the electromagnetic radiation emitted by hot bodies. There are two main types of pyrometers: radiation pyrometers and optical pyrometers. Radiation pyrometers use an optical system including a lens, mirror, and adjustable eyepiece to collect the heat energy emitted by a hot body and focus it onto a detector, which converts it into an electrical signal and temperature display. Radiation pyrometers are able to measure high temperatures without contact and provide a fast response.
esistance thermometers, also called resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), are sensors used to measure temperature. Many RTD elements consist of a length of fine wire wrapped around a ceramic or glass core but other constructions are also used. The RTD wire is a pure material, typically platinum, nickel, or copper. The material has an accurate resistance/temperature relationship which is used to provide an indication of temperature. As RTD elements are fragile, they are often housed in protective probes.
Resistance thermometers are constructed in a number of forms and offer greater stability, accuracy and repeatability in some cases than thermocouples. While thermocouples use the Seebeck effect to generate a voltage, resistance thermometers use electrical resistance and require a power source to operate. The resistance ideally varies nearly linearly with temperature per the Callendar–Van Dusen equation.
The platinum detecting wire needs to be kept free of contamination to remain stable. A platinum wire or film is supported on a former in such a way that it gets minimal differential expansion or other strains from its former, yet is reasonably resistant to vibration. RTD assemblies made from iron or copper are also used in some applications. Commercial platinum grades exhibit a temperature coefficient of resistance 0.00385/°C (0.385%/°C) (European Fundamental Interval).[7] The sensor is usually made to have a resistance of 100 Ω at 0 °C. This is defined in BS EN 60751:1996 (taken from IEC 60751:1995). The American Fundamental Interval is 0.00392/°C,[8] based on using a purer grade of platinum than the European standard. The American standard is from the Scientific Apparatus Manufacturers Association (SAMA), who are no longer in this standards field. As a result, the "American standard" is hardly the standard even in the US.
Lead-wire resistance can also be a factor; adopting three- and four-wire, instead of two-wire, connections can eliminate connection-lead resistance effects from measurements (see below); three-wire connection is sufficient for most purposes and is an almost universal industrial practice. Four-wire connections are used for the most precise applications.

It detects An Object When The Object Approaches Within The Detection Range And Boundary Of The Sensor.

A Flexible and Stretchable Tactile Sensor utilizing Static Electricity
The tactile sensor is required for various robots.
In humanoid robots, flexibility of the sensor is an important
feature for preventing physical damage and for interacting
with the human. Moreover, stretchability of the sensor has
advantages that the sensor is nonbreakable and that the sensor can be easily mounted on curved surfaces or deformable parts such as joints. This paper proposes a novel tactile sensor made of flexible and stretchable silicone rubber.
A structure of the sensor is similar to the capacitive tactile sensors. However, the proposed sensor utilizes a different principle from existing sensors. The sensor utilizes static electricity and electrostatic induction phenomenon, and can detect some touch conditions.
This paper reports the principle and characteristics of the
proposed sensor. Experiments show that the sensor output
depends on touch area, touch velocity, and material of touch
objects. However, the sensor does not depend on touch weight.
Moreover, the experiment shows that even if the proposed
sensor is stretched, it performs as the tactile sensor.
Proximity Sensor Detects An Object When The Object Approaches Within The Detection Range And Boundary Of The Sensor. Proximity Sensor Includes All The Sensor That Perform Non Contact Detection In Comparison To Sensors Such As Limit Switch, That Detect The Object By Physically Contacting Them. It is a sensor able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact. A proximity sensor often emits an electromagnetic field or a beam of electromagnetic radiation (infrared, for instance), and looks for changes in the field or return signal. The object being sensed is often referred to as the proximity sensor's target. Different proximity sensor targets demand different sensors. For example, a capacitive or photoelectric sensor might be suitable for a plastic target; an inductive proximity sensor always requires a metal target. The maximum distance that this sensor can detect is defined "nominal range". Some sensors have adjustments of the nominal range or means to report a graduated detection distance. Proximity sensors can have a high reliability and long functional life because of the absence of mechanical parts and lack of physical contact between sensor and the sensed object. Proximity sensors are commonly used on smart phones to detect (and skip) accidental touch screen taps when held to the ear during a call.[1] They are also used in machine vibration monitoring to measure the variation in distance between a shaft and its support bearing. This is common in large steam turbines, compressors, and motors that use sleeve-type bearings. A change in the sensor's electric or magnetic field can also be used to determine proximity.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

2. Pyrometers
Pyrometry is a technique for measuring
temperature without physical contact. It depends
upon the relationship between the temperature of
hot body and eletronicmagnetic radiation emitted
by the body.
It is a technique for determining a body’s
temperature by measuring its eletronicmagnetic
radiation .
‘ Pyro’ is the ‘Greek’ word which means fire.
3. Two types of pyrometers used in industries :
Radiation Pyrometers
Optical Pyrometers
4. A pyrometer has an optical system and detector.
The optical system focuses the thermal
radiation onto the detector. The output signal of
the detector(Temperature T) is related to
the thermal radiation or irradiance j* of the target
object through the Stefan–Boltzmann law,
the constant of proportionality, called the Stefan-
Boltzmann constant and the emissivity ε of the
object.
6. The radiation pyrometer has an optical system, including a
lens, a mirror and an adjustable eye piece. The heat energy
emitted from the hot body is passed on to the optical lens,
which collects it and is focused on to the detector with the
help of the mirror and eye piece arrangement. The detector
may either be a thermister or photomultiplier tubes. Though
the latter is known for faster detection of fast moving
objects, the former may be used for small scale applications.
Thus, the heat energy is converted to its corresponding
electrical signal by the detector and is sent to the output
temperature display device.

operating range of thermocouples.
They can be used in the environments which
contaminate or limit the life of thermocouple.
Used for moving targets.
They are used for measurement of average
temperature of large surface areas.
They are used for the targets which would be damaged
by contact with primary elements like thermocouples and
resistance thermometers.
