    Real-Time Monitoring of Hydraulic Oil Deterioration Using a Hall Effect Sensor Under Operational Conditions
    (2025-01-01) ;
    Chartpolrak, Pijaya
    ;
    This paper presents a method for measuring hydraulic oil degradation by detecting metal particle flow using a permanent magnet's magnetic field and monitoring voltage changes in a Hall effect sensor (HES). Degraded hydraulic oil containing increased metal contaminants from component wear exhibits reduced viscosity and higher flow rates. We developed a measurement device incorporating a microcontroller to process data and display contamination levels on an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screen, enabling real-time monitoring without interrupting machine operations. Experiments measured voltage variations at three system locations with metal contamination levels from 2.5 to 5.0 grams per liter (in 0.5 grams per liter increments). Results showed the HES output voltage varied linearly with particle concentration, demonstrating a maximum deviation of 4.73 millivolts (0.47 %) at 2.5 grams per liter, particularly at the reservoir outlet. This approach helps assess hydraulic oil contamination under operational conditions, offering advantages in real-time monitoring capability, cost-effectiveness, and non-invasive implementation.

    Sn doped ZnPc films were deposited on intrinsic Si and glass substrates by organic source thermal co-evaporation technique with different deposition rates. Optical properties and electronic structure were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) respectively. The UV-Vis results showed that phase transition of ZnPc from α- phase to β-phase occurred when Sn:ZnPc deposition rate is 0.3:0.7 or higher. XPS results indicated that the outer s electron of Sn atom is transferred to the ZnPc. Broadening of the C 1s spectra is observed with the increasing of Sn deposition rate. This broadening corresponds to the change of molecular environment surrounding carbon atoms in the Sn-doped ZnPc films. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

    The aim of this research is to study the specific properties e.g. surface morphology, optical absorption as well as electrical conductivity of tin-doped cobalt-phthalocyanine (CoPc) thin film prepared by thermal co-evaporation. The concentration of tin metal dopant is controlled via evaporation rate during film's preparation. The change of tin quantity leads to the significant changes not only in morphology but also in molecular packing of the doped films. Moreover, the dramatic increase in both carrier mobility and carrier concentration should provide the enhancement in electrical conductivity of the doped films. By controlling the specific properties of the tin-doped CoPc thin film, the increasing efficiency of optoelectronic applications based on metal-phthalocyanine could be achieved.

    Work attendance is one of the processes that either large or small companies need to be involved with. To reduce the time-consuming and improve the reliability of such process, this work proposes an alternative solution by applying the combinations of image processing and Viola Jones algorithm on the facial-employee database. The facial detection and recognition system shows the high accuracy over 90%. The proposed process not only improves the efficiency of the work attendance in term of data-collecting and data-analyzing but also possibly prevents the cheating of appearance compared to the old-fashion processes e.g. signing-paper or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).

    This paper presents the image processing system for quality inspection of rice grains after sorting process by using an ordinary webcam to ensure that rice grains should meet the quality standards and impurity such as grits, dirt and stones should not be found [1]. Moreover, statistical information of rice grains from image processing could be taken into analysis to enhance the efficiency of the sorting process. Image data analysis of rice grains can be divided into 2 main arrangement conditions, non-overlapping and overlapping. In this study, the experiments to inspect rice grains were applied for 24 samples and 18 experimental designs including the complete and incomplete structures, the overlapping and non-overlapping arrangements, and the combination of rice grains from complete and incomplete structures in equal and unequal ratios. From experiments, it was found that the inspection of rice grain quality by using image processing technique and image data recorded by an ordinary webcam was reliable and efficient. The inspection errors under non-overlapping arrangement condition of complete and incomplete structures of rice grains were not observed. The inspection errors of rice grains combined from complete and incomplete structures in equal and unequal ratios were about 0.8% and 1.11%, respectively. However, under overlapping arrangement condition, it was observed that the inspection errors of image processing would be high by up to 53.82% on average.

    This paper presents wireless pressure measuring devices for the seat cushion consisting of an air cushion which reduces the chances of developing a pressure ulcer. A force sensor resistor (FSR sensor) is placed in the position where pressure is most likely to occur. FSR sensor is put under air cushions to help distribute the pressure and reduce the damage which may happen to the sensor. The pressure is applied to the sensors, they will send the data to the microcontroller (Arduino MEGA 2560) and then transmit data via Bluetooth to LabVIEW for display on the monitor screen with the measured pressure range which is divided into different colors. If the pressure is continuously applied for a period of 30 minutes, there will be a notification via the LED light to allow the user to change their sitting positions to reduce the likelihood of pressure ulcers.

    This paper presents the experiment-based analysis of interior illuminance from natural lighting through clear glazed window of a reference room located in Bangkok, Thailand, during February to May 2007 as a case study. The point illuminances measured by photoconductive sensors were collected every 5 minutes and the average interior illuminance from natural lighting were then calculated instantaneously. In this study, natural lighting also aims to reduce the requirement of electric lighting during daytime (7 am-5 pm) of the reference room. If natural lighting alone cannot supply the light at the required value, the electric lighting is assumed to be switched on under top-up control method to maintain the standard illuminance level. The average interior illuminance, which comprises of natural light and electric light, is controlled to be stable at the IES standard level of 500 lux. Nine sets of high performance lamp, 56 lm/W of efficacy, are assumed to supply the light to meet the standard condition. The requirements of supplementary lighting and possible savings during the test months are finally estimated. © 2008 SICE.

    This paper presents the method to develop sensor for measuring shaft rotation and angular decline based on trigonometric and Pythagoras method. Magnetic flux density on the direction of constant magnetic field was measured using Helmholtz Coil as a magnetic field generator and using Hall Generator No. A1302 as a sensor. The resolution of shaft rotation was 1 degree per step and the range of shaft decline was varied from 4 to 10 degree away from the origin which was normal to ground level. Angle declining from the origin which is normal to magnetic field can be determined by measuring the relationships between Hall voltage and magnetic filed. If the shaft which was fixed on Hall Generator was rotated and not perpendicular to magnetic field, the Hall voltage was varied and the results was then transferred to computer to evaluate the angular decline of shaft. It can be indicated that the voltage varies sinusoidally while increasing the decline angle. Despite low costs of system, the method presented in this study was developed with consideration of effectiveness and reliability. Moreover, the method can be applied in machine alignment as well as in detection of building structure declination. © 2009 SICE.

    Applied to reuse steam condensate water in Medium petrochemical plant to boiler feed water
    (2022-01-01) ;
    Seekhieo, A.
    ;
    In Thailand's petrochemical industrial estate which has a small or medium-size plant, boiler feed water is bought from the external boiler feed water provider to use in an incinerator to make steam for plant use, and the steam condensate water that comes after the incinerator process is sold back to the provider as well. The cost gap between bought water and sold water is considered a waste since the income gained from selling post-boiled water is less than expenses from bought water. In this paper, the research to improve the steam condensate water quality and reuse the water has been proposed. This application is to be considered to build the steam condensate treatment unit for treating water potential to reduce the overall operation cost (OPEX). The online analyzer is being used to control the chemical dosing package via a plant control system to check the quality of water and treat it in real-time so the water can be reused.
