Abstract

This paper presents an investigation on an optical sensor configuration to estimate the turbidity level in a sample of water based on tomography technique. The optical sensors consist of infrared light - emitting diodes (LED) as transmitters and photodiodes as the receivers where the projections of the sensors are designed in fan beam mode. The promising results obtained from the analysis of light path detection demonstrated the accuracy of the proposed technique in estimating the turbidity level of water. The approach has potential to contribute and utilize for monitoring the quality level of water in water treatment industries.

Abstract

This paper presents the utilization of an ultrasonic sensing system to detect foreign objects in milk. The advantage of an ultrasonic system is that it is low cost and it can detect a wide range of materials. A foreign body is any contaminated object found in food. Because of the scale of multifarious food processing levels and distribution, the utilization of the food product are sometimes difficult to control, which will inevitably lead to some complaints by consumers. Milk is widely consumed in the world as it is considered as a healthy drink due to it is high nutrients levels. However, from time to time cases of milk contamination are reported. In this paper. the relationship between the foreign bodies in terms of their dimensions and the resultant amplitude are presented. Mathematical modelling were carried out based on two ultrasonic parameters i.e. acoustic impedance and wave amplitude utilizing several types of foreign bodies with different dimensions. Three types of foreign bodies which are steel, rubber and air were investigated to determine the voltage amplitude detected by the ultrasonic receiver when the foreign bodies obstructed the ultrasonic wave propagation path. The diameters of foreign bodies were in the range from 4 mm to 11 mm. The results showed good correlations between the receiver voltage and the size of foreign bodies with correlation coefficients greater than 0.95. Each foreign body also demonstrated different voltage amplitudes when several sizes of the foreign bodies were tested which showed the ability of the system to distinguish the size of each foreign body.
