In this category, we present selected scientific talks about our technologies, measurement concepts, and research results. The talks mainly focus on spray measurement techniques based on the TSTOF measurement principle.
This technology is known through several related systems and methods, including SpraySpy, SprayQuantAI, and ParticleTensorAI. The topics include optical spray diagnostics, droplet and particle measurement, light scattering analysis, AI-assisted signal evaluation, and industrial spray monitoring.
Only selected talks are listed here. For more presentations, videos, and updates, please visit our social media channels, including YouTube, WeChat, X, Facebook, Telegram, Instagram, and others.
