Abstract

This paper reports a prototype of a low-cost tracking and monitoring system to address the challenges faced by Indonesian fishermen. The lack of safety equipment in their boats exposes them to high risks of work-related accidents and illnesses. Data from the National Basarnas Center reveals a staggering 24,000 annual fatalities among fishermen during their activities. These issues stem from a combination of factors: poorly designed boats, low prioritization of safety, and the lack of readily available preventive measures. Moreover, the development of telecommunications infrastructure in aquatic areas presents its unique obstacles. In response, this study proposes a prototype design for a "Fishing Boat Safety Monitoring System" utilizing LoRa and Microsensors for proactive and preventive measurement by tracking the boat position and sending the data via a long-distance wireless transmission with Low-Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) scheme based on frequency-spread spectrum technology. This LPWAN serves as the substitution for cellular network which is usually not available in the ocean. The tracking system uses a low-cost TTGO T-Beam LoRa32 V1.1 Microcontroller Unit (MCU) board that has an embedded SX1276 LoRa module and Neo-6M GPS module. The system also uses a GY-25 gyroscope microsensor. The system implemented a 923 MHz LoRa signal for point-to-point communication between the transmitter to receiver. This research has successfully yielded a developed device capable of tracking the location of boats up to 2 km from the shoreline with -113 dBm received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and around 60% of data quality of service (QoS). Further research will explore the use of high-gain antennas and signal amplifiers integration with embedded LoRa on the MCU board to expand the coverage area of the LoRa signal.

Abstract

In order to increase the durability and quality of bananas, this research discusses the design of an economical gas-based dehydrator with the application of PID control for valves and gas, specifically for small and medium-scale home industries. The main objective was to develop a cost-effective and efficient solution for drying bananas without sacrificing nutritional quality and taste. The dehydrator system is designed using PID control to obtain accurate and precise temperatures during the drying process. The algorithm is that the PID control will regulate and adjust how much gas is released through the valve based on the difference between the desired and actual temperature in the drying room. The best constants of PID we get are P = 1, I = 2, and D = 3. By applying these constants, the time taken by the system to change a signal from 30oC to 100oC of temperature is about 5 minutes, with a maximum overshoot of about 10%. In addition, the system required 25 minutes to achieve a steady state with an error value of about 5% from the setpoint. From the results of this experiment, it would be declared that the performance of the dehydrator built has indicated good performance. The minimum temperature that could be generated by the dehydrator is 90oC, while the maximum temperature is set 150oC. The experiment shows that this dehydrator can reduce the water content of a 1-2 g banana fruit by up to 50% within 60 minutes and 26% for a 10 g banana fruit mass simultaneously. The results also show that the dehydrator maintained optimal banana fruit quality based on texture, colour, and taste. Thus, these results indicate the great potential of gas-based dehydrators with PID control as an innovative solution for the home fruit processing industry, offering a combination of efficiency and cost-effectiveness

Abstract

This research aims to enhance control systems for Brushless DC (BLDC) motors by introducing Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control as a straightforward yet reliable solution, known for its precision, quick responsiveness, and stability. Emphasizing its suitability for BLDC motor speed control, the study addresses PID controller windup challenges, highlighting anti-windup techniques crucial for maintaining system stability. The primary focus is on improving the performance of an anti-windup PID controller for BLDC motor speed control in electric vehicles. Through simulations and analyses, the research aims to minimize steady-state error and overshooting, contributing to overall operational efficiency. Practical implementation involves optimizing the PID anti-windup controller's gain using the MATLAB PID Tuner and implementing it in the Arduino IDE. Experimental tests, which cover constant and varying step function scenarios, are conducted on the designed hardware. Results show the PID anti-windup controller's superiority, exhibiting significantly lower overshoot values of 5.42% and 3.35% compared to 13.26% and 23.76%, respectively. Despite its higher control action, the traditional PID controller displays a more pronounced overshoot. This research is a significant step toward advancing control systems for electric vehicles and optimizing BLDC motor performance in practical applications.

Abstract

Wearable antennas are antennas that can be applied to the human body and are made of flexible materials, making them ideal for healthcare technology. The quality of the signal received by the antenna directly affects the accuracy of heart rate detection If the antenna measurements indicate strong, clear signal reception, the heart rate monitor can accurately detect and interpret heartbeats. In this study, a planar monopole antenna was designed and developed using a circular patch with Ultra Wide Band (UWB) characteristics. The FR-4 and copper were utilized for the substrate and the ground plane and patch, respectively. Simulations and measurements were conducted at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The antenna with the added EBG structure showed improved performance compared to the conventional antenna, exhibiting better S11 and VSWR values. Additionally, all radiation patterns were unidirectional.  Applying this antenna to transmit heart rate measurements results in an accuracy of  94.34% compared to conventional onsite heart rate measurement. This study demonstrates that the wearable band provides real-time heart rate monitoring, while the EBG antenna enhances sensitivity and accuracy in detecting heart rate. This research can be enhanced by optimizing the EBG design and conducting additional trials to ensure the device performs well for a variety of users.

Abstract

Technology development allows various kinds of technology to provide convenience and better services. One of them is the development of technology with the Internet of Things. In this research, we have developed a system to detect and map damaged road conditions to give road users a better experience. The user is expected to use this system to collect data. Detection is done using an accelerometer sensor that estimates the speed of a vehicle. In the process of pothole detection, the accelerometer checks the value of each x, y, and z axis. When data meets the axis value, it is taken by Arduino and sent to the Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi, which is an integration of systems, processes data and classificates data. Also, Raspberry Pi enables GPS and camera to collect data in visual form. Data that has been processed, sent to the database to be displayed on the dashboard of application. The system was tested along Jalan Radio Palasari, Bandung Regency. From experiments that have been carried out by collecting 50 data, it is known that the delay in sensor detection is set for approximately one minute with a sending delay to the database of six seconds. The accuracy of data in detecting and mapping only differs by 3-6 meters from the real pothole road.

Abstract

The implementation of OFDM results in relatively high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) due to IFFT process to generate orthogonal subcarriers. A number of studies have attempted to apply various techniques to minimize PAPR by apllying the Wavelet transform as a substitution for Fourier transform. Another technique used to reduce the PAPR is clipping. In this thesis, the clipping technique was applied on the Wavelet based OFDM in mobile WiMAX standard to obtain better performance. The results indicate that Wavelet based OFDM has better immunity to noise and more resistant to Doppler shift than Fourier based OFDM. Sym 7 with Classical clipping and CR 1.2 can be selected and applied on wavelet-based OFDM in mobile WiMAX.

Abstract

LDPC is one of channel coding technique which can achieve the nearest to the shannon limit. The focus of this paper is to give improvement for LDPC error correcting process using message passing algorithm. This works used FPGA Cyclon II for implementing the process. This paper worked with two different LDPC matrix, matrix (8, 16) and matrix (24, 48). Matrix (24,48) had wc = 4 and wr = 8. Matrix (8, 16) had wc = 2 and wr = 4. The comparison of these two matrix would present the effects in the error correcting decision for message passing algorithm and the effect for implementing the algorithm on FPGA Cyclon II. This research purpose was to prove message passing algorithm can provide more than one bit error correction.

Abstract

Several researches have been done to study the characteristics of the bonang barung, one of Javanese Gamelan music instrument. One of them is convertion of bonang barung single tone to numeric notation using Harmonic FFT as feature extraction and Backpropagation Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for classification. The tone detection accuracy result from previous research is 70,74%. In this research we try to improve the detection result by searching the dominant features using Wrapper Feature Subset Selection (WFSS). Sequential forward selection (SFS) and sequential backward selection (SBS) are used as searching algorithm. The input of the system is a song recorded from a bonang barung then the detected tone is converted into numeric notation. From the experiment, WFSS-SFS produced 6 features with 86,4% accuracy while WFSS-SBS give a better result, it produced 13 features with 92,9% accuracy of tone detection.

Abstract

Steganography is a technique to improve the security of data, which is by inserting messages or confidential information using a medium called the host or carrier or cover. A wide variety of digital media can be used as a host, among others audio, image, video, text, header, IP datagram, and so forth. For audio steganography, the embedded audio is called stego-audio. Steganography can be cracked by using steganalysis. By exploiting the weaknesses of each steganography method. Many steganography method has been developed to increase its performance. This work proposed audio steganography scheme called Modified Enhanced Least Significant Bit (MELSB) which is modified version of Enhanced Least Significant Bit (ELSB). This method using Modified Bit Selection Rule to increase SNR and robustness of stego-audio. SNR result after applying MELSB scheme is increased. MELSB scheme also increase robustness of stego-audio. MELSB still work fine until amplification level 1.07. MELSB also work fine against noise addition better than ELSB and LSB. It give BER and CER with value 0 at SNR 33 dB. MELSB work fine in real-time condition on 802.11n WLAN if there is no transcoding and noise addition between sender’s and recipient’s computer.

Abstract

This research is aimed to analyze and simulate the temperature distribution in heat sink CPU processor. The study analyzes the heat absorption from the heat source to the bottom of the heat sink, the conduction process, and the forced convection process. All processes are simulated with software Comsol Multiphysics 4.4 to obtain the optimal heat sink design. The simulation is performed by varying the number of fins, the fin thickness, the air gap between two fins, the fin surface area, and the convection coefficient. The optimal design is found for heat sink with 40 pieces fins, fin thickness of 0.4 mm, air gap of 2.4 mm, fin surface area of 9425 mm2, and the convection coefficient of 5.26 W/m2K. Further simulation shows that PID control improved the forced convection process. A proportional control (P) is reasonable enough to achieve a settled convection process. A settling temperature occurs at 241 s after heat is applied to the system. This is faster than non-controlled convection process which requires 1600 s instead. Additional integration and derivative controls will increase stability at later time.
