THERMOSENSE MISSION STATEMENTThe purpose of Thermosense is to promote the exchange of information pertaining to the use of infrared sensing and imaging instruments for diagnostics and controls. Presentations should address the solutions to problems and their reduction to practice. THERMOSENSE BACKGROUNDThermosense is the oldest and largest international technical meeting focused on scientific, industrial and general uses of Infrared Imaging and Infrared Temperature. Measurements. Its regular printed proceedings are found in most scientific and engineering libraries, providing an unequaled depth and breadth of technical information and reference data. Further information regarding Thermosense can be found at: www.thermosense.org. |

Monday 9 April
Vendor Presentations and ReceptionChairs: Andrés E. Rozlosnik, SI Termografía Infrarroja (Argentina); G. Raymond Peacock, Temperatures.com, Inc. What's News in Hardware and Software at the 2007 DSS Exhibition?This Special Session was started two years ago and has been a very popular, well-attended success. Its intent is to bring together vendors and Early Arrival Thermosense and DSS exhibitors to highlight the newest products and services being shown at the Exhibition. In this way the busy technical conference attendees can better prioritize their activities when visiting the exhibits. It is also a relaxed opportunity for getting to know one another better and to have informal discussions on matters of mutual interest. A limited time for 10 to 15 minute vendor presentations starts the session, followed by a reception with snacks and soft drinks. The list of vendors presenting will be in the final program and also available onsite. |
