Embodiments may also include calculating a first calibration factor of a first non-contact type temperature sensor within the first reaction chamber utilizing the first calibrated contact type temperature sensor and applying the first calibration factor to the first non-contact type temperature sensor to provide a first calibrated non-contact type temperature sensor.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a deposition apparatus including: a reaction space which is a reaction chamber; a front chamber for deposition; a raw material supply port that is configured to supply a raw material to the reaction space; an opening for measuring a temperature of a wafer mounted on a wafer mounting surface of a mounting stage disposed in the reaction space; and a partition plate that partitions the reaction space and the front chamber for deposition, in which the raw material supply port is positioned on the same plane as the partition plate or on the reaction space side from the partition plate, and the opening is positioned in the front chamber for deposition side from the partition plate.

A cooking engagement system and methods therefore are provided. The system includes a cooktop appliance and an interactive assembly positioned above the cooktop appliance. The interactive assembly includes an image monitor that presents various images and information to a user, e.g., recipes. The system includes an infrared sensor for detecting operation of the cooktop appliance. When the infrared sensor senses a temperature level that exceeds a threshold, a controller communicatively coupled thereto activates an air handler to move or motivate an airflow across or about the image monitor. In this way, the image monitor may be cooled and condensation is prevented from forming on the imaging surface of the image monitor.

The invention relates to a top hood for covering food in a microwave oven. Top hood (HI) comprises a microwave transparent wall structure comprising side wall (SW) and top part (TP). Side wall (SW) and top part (TP) defines the internal area (IA) covered by said top hood (HI). Attached to the wall structure of the top hood (HI), the top hood (HI) comprises a temperature sensor (TS) for measuring the temperature within the internal area (IA) covered by said top hood (HI). Top hood further comprises a wireless transmitter (WT) for transmitting the measured temperature information to an external display unit (DU).

A method of recording images within a furnace using a thermal imaging camera comprising a bore scope connected to a digital camera unit is described, comprising the steps of: (a) inserting the borescope into the interior of the furnace, (b) collecting one of more images of the interior of the furnace using the thermal imaging camera with the borescope at a first position, and (c) moving the borescope from the first position to a second position and collecting one or more images of the interior of the furnace as the borescope is moved from the first position to the second position, wherein the borescope movement is guided by means of a guide device comprising a movable borescope mounting, mounted externally on the furnace.

The present invention relates to a method and a system for determining a temperature value of a molten metal bath. The method according to the invention has been proven to be especially suitable for installations of metallurgical vessels which are constantly moved during the metal making process.

A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The HVAC system includes a sensor that detects a temperature of a heater of a heating component and emits a signal indicative of the temperature. A flow management device controls a flow of electricity or fuel from a power source to the heating component. A controller receives the signal from the sensor and operates the flow management device to block the flow of electricity or fuel to the heating component when the signal is indicative of the temperature being above a set point.

Disclosed is a sensor module. The sensor module may be an infrared sensor module for sensing temperature of food being cooked. The sensor module may be implemented or integrated into a closed cooking environment, such as an oven, or in an open cooking environment such as a range. The sensor module includes an air chamber unit to generate an air curtain over the front and back surfaces of a glass cover protecting the sensor. The air curtain prevents condensation on the cover and to maintain it cool. The air curtain improves accuracy of temperature sensed during cooking.

There is provided a control system for a furnace. The control system comprises a thermal imaging camera and a control unit. The thermal imaging camera is configured to receive thermal radiation from a plurality of positions in a furnace and to generate an image which includes temperature information for the plurality of positions in the furnace. The control unit is configured to receive the image from the thermal imaging camera and to generate control signals for the furnace using the image.

A temperature monitoring system includes an access port configured to mount to an inspection window of a process heater that includes heating tubulars mounted in an inner volume of the process heater, the access port including at least one visual access portion configured to provide visual access to at least a portion of the heating tubulars; a flange assembly including a bore that extends from a first side configured to mount to the access port to a second side; and a thermal imaging system configured to mount to the second side of the flange assembly, the thermal imaging system including at least one thermal image capture device including a field of view through the bore of the flange of assembly and the at least one visual access portion and into the inner volume of the process heater to capture at least one image of radiation emitted from the heating tubulars.
