Abstract

This research paper explores the application of extended-gate field-effect transistors (EGFET) as a potentiometric sensing method for pH detection within an internet of things (IoT) system. The pH EGFET sensor is integrated with a long-range (LoRa) microcontroller, enabling data transmission via a low-power, long-range wide-area network (LoRaWAN) IoT framework to a dedicated IoT application server. The framework utilizes a message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT) broker, employing a publish/subscribe message architecture for efficient data transmission. The study focuses on addressing the problem of determining whether EGFET technology can provide precise and dependable measurements in various settings. To achieve this, the data from the IoT framework is compared with data signals from a semiconductor parametric analyzer and a readout interfacing circuit serial data acquisition (DAQ). From the study, EGFET sensors provide a sensitivity of 61.1 mV/pH with a linearity of 0.9968 through the IoT method. Meanwhile, non-IoT methods yield slightly different sensitivities of 53.1 and 50.5 mV/pH with comparable linearity of 0.9984 and 0.9979. Overall, the research demonstrates the versatility of EGFET technology, highlighting its effective use in various sensing instruments, while ensuring reliable data transfer through the LoRaWAN framework.

Abstract

This paper is on a microcontroller-based camera controller with sound source localization (SSL). With the rising frequency of highway accidents in Malaysia, there is a pressing need for a reliable detection system. The current approach, involving fixed-angled cameras, necessitates constant human monitoring, proving inefficient. To address this, the study introduces a hybrid camera system incorporating a camera for image capture and a microphone to detect collision sounds. By integrating a pan-tilt (PT) camera controller driven by time difference of arrival (TDOA) inputs, the system can swiftly move toward accident locations. The TDOA method is employed to convert sound arrival time differences into camera angles. The accuracy of the PT camera's rotation angle was analyzed based on the original sound source angle. As a result, this project produced an automated highway monitoring camera system that uses sound SSL to detect car crash sounds on highways. Its PT feature will help cover a large highway area and eliminate blind spots to capture possible accident scenes. The average inaccuracy of the experimental test of the pan and tilt angle of the camera is 19 and 23%, respectively. The accuracy of the pan tilt angle can be increased by adding more analog acoustic sensors.

Abstract

An electrical conductivity (EC) sensor is a conductometric sensor used to measure a solution's ability to transmit electrical charges. However, EC sensing accuracy and stability are not consistent due to many factors, such as gap spacing between electrodes, concentration of the solution, and electrical biassing. This study investigates the influence of the gap spacing between electrodes, the concentration of the solution, frequency, and voltage input applied to the EC sensor electrode on EC sensor measurement and provides insights into the relationship between these parameters and the sensor's performance using the voltage divider rule which is the simpler way to measure the conductivity of the solution. From this investigation, gap spacing between the electrodes, the concentration of the solution, frequency below 50 Hz, and voltage input have been found to directly affect the EC sensor measurement. However, there is no significant change in EC sensor measurement regarding the frequency applied to graphite electrodes when the frequency is above 50 Hz. The findings of this study highlight the complex interplay between the physical setup parameters and EC sensor measurement.
