Abstract

This paper presents a new approach of Forward-Backward Time-Stepping (FBTS) utilizing Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method with Overset Grid Generation (OGG) method to solve the inverse scattering problems for electromagnetic (EM) waves. The proposed FDTD method is combined with OGG method to reduce the geometrically complex problem to a simple set of grids. The grids can be modified easily without the need to regenerate the grid system, thus, it provide an efficient approach to integrate with the FBTS technique. Here, the characteristics of the EM waves are analyzed. For the research mentioned in this paper, the ‘measured’ signals are syntactic data generated by FDTD simulations. While the ‘simulated’ signals are the calculated data. The accuracy of the proposed approach is validated. Good agreements are obtained between simulation data and measured data. The proposed approach has the potential to provide useful quantitative information of the unknown object particularly for shape reconstruction, object detection and others.

Abstract

The Forward-Backward Time-Stepping (FBTS) had proven its potential to reconstruct images of buried objects in inhomogeneous medium with useful quantitative information about its size, shape, and locality. The Total Variation regularization method was incorporated with the FBTS algorithm to deal with the ill-posedness or ill-conditionedness of the inverse problem. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is confirmed by numerical simulations. The numerical method was carried out on a simple object detection through FBTS with and without TV regularization method. The detection and reconstruction of relative permittivity and conductivity of the simple object have shown an improvement as TV regularization method applied whereas it smoothed the vibrations of the images and gave a better estimation of the image’s boundaries.

Abstract

Determining the quality of gula apong is crucial to optimizing its production, with cooking temperature being a key factor affecting both taste and shelf life. The gula apong industry faced challenges due to the lack of reliable real-time temperature monitoring methods during the cooking process. Traditional approaches were inefficient and inaccurate, leading to difficulties in maintaining consistent product quality and meeting market demands. This highlights the necessity of monitoring the temperature throughout each cooking process. This research aims to develop an internet of things (IoT)- based cooking temperature monitoring system to enhance quality control measures in the production of gula apong. The IoT prototype collects temperature data from the thermocouple sensor, then transmits it to cloud storage through a Wi-Fi communication network, utilizing the Node-RED platform for data processing and analysis. Data obtained from the on-site measurement shows that the optimal temperature for producing standard-quality gula apong is approximately around 165 °C. The recommended boiling temperature for Nipah sap is 140 °C. This IoT system can reduce the cooking time of gula apong to 3 hours from the traditional 4 to 6 hours. Utilizing the data acquired from this study helps the producers not only maintaining the quality of gula apong but also reduce the cooking time and cost.
