Infrared impulse thermography for sub-surface defect detection
Heat a surface for an instant, watch it cool, and hidden voids and delaminations appear. How impulse thermography works, its limits, and the MYW.AI 4 QM research context.

How to choose sensors for a multimodal test rig: a practical checklist
A channel-by-channel checklist for specifying vibration, acoustic, vision, thermal and depth sensors on a multimodal test rig, including the time and data questions people forget.

Time-stamping multimodal sensor data: why clock offsets matter
Every sensor has its own oscillator, and they all disagree. How clock offset and drift arise, how to measure them and what a recording should store so data can be aligned later.

Why single-sensor monitoring misses faults
Five structural reasons a single sensor misses machine faults or raises false alarms, an illustrative pump example and a checklist for deciding when to add a second modality.

Vision, thermal, depth, sound and vibration sensors: what each sees and misses
A modality-by-modality look at cameras, thermal cores, time-of-flight, microphones and accelerometers: what each one sees, what it misses and what fools it.

What is multimodal sensing? A guide for industrial engineers
Multimodal sensing measures one machine through several physical channels at once. What it is, which modalities matter, how the data is fused and how to start.
