<![CDATA[Emergency vehicle sirens greatly aid traffic control and public safety awareness. Improving emergency response systems requires accurate siren classification. This study aims to categorize emergency vehicles, particularly fire trucks, police cars, and ambulances, based on the features of their sirens. It thoroughly analyses various schemes for categorizing emergency vehicle sirens. Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), Zero-Crossing Rate (ZCR), Spectral Centroid, and hybrid methods that combine MFCC with ZCR and Spectral Centroid were observed for comparison. The data set is sourced from the Google Audio Set Ontology, ensuring robust training and evaluation of the models. This methodology involves preprocessing audio data, extracting relevant features, and training classifiers. The proposed hybrid method combines MFCC with Spectral Centroid to leverage their complementary strengths. Through rigorous experimentation, this system evaluates the performance of different classifiers, aiming to provide insights for optimal siren classification. The findings contribute to advancing audio classification methodologies and have implications for developing more robust emergency response and traffic management systems.]]>

<![CDATA[Indonesian aquaculture is one of the activities supporting production and economic activities in the fisheries sector locally and nationally. The endurance of the fish body is very dependent on the quality of the water used. One of the water quality parameters is the degree of acidity (pH). The problem in measuring the pH of water is the limited use of the pH meter sensor because the sensor probe must be cleaned regularly. One solution to overcome this problem is to make a water pH measuring instrument for aquaculture using the titration method. This tool is designed to make it easier for aquaculture farmers to measure the pH quality of water without touching the fish pond water. Research was conducted to determine the tool's design and performance specifications. The performance specifications of the water pH measuring instrument consist of mechanical design and electronic design. The results of the color reading of the pH value of the device can be displayed on a serial monitor through the Arduino IDE application or the Bluetooth terminal serial application on Android. The design specifications of the water pH measuring instrument consist of the accuracy and accuracy of the measurement of the pH value of water with the following details: The average pH value reading error is 1.027% with an average accuracy of 98.973% and an average accuracy of 99.419%.]]>

<![CDATA[A low-cost and adjustable frequency of Arduino based sonoreactor for organic wastewater degradation is presented in this paper. The sonoractor is a device that uses ultrasonic concepts to degrade liquid organic waste. The key components of a sonoreactor, namely ultrasonic transducers and ultrasonic generators, use vibrations from ultrasonic waves to generate a cavitation impact. Cavitation is the formation of tiny bubbles that break down dangerous molecules in solution, resulting in the production of hydroxyl radicals H and radicals H2O2 is formed by converting OH radicals. The sonocatalyst process is carried out in a sonoreactor. Sonocatalyst is a kind of sonolysis that includes a catalyst. Ultrasonic irradiation, which occurs at frequencies between 20 until 100 kHz, is used in sonolysis. The use of a ZnO catalyst is intended to lower sonolysis efficiency and increase the development of OH radicals. Since the Sonoreactor uses a lot of electricity, it produces a lot of frequencies. Since frequency and power have a direct proportional relationship. The higher the power provided by the ultrasonic generator, the higher the output frequency generated by the transducer, resulting in increased energy production. As a result, the cavitation and hydroxyl radicals produced will become larger, resulting in much higher degradation.]]>

<![CDATA[The rapid advancement of robotics has impacted various sectors, including education. The Indonesian Robot Contest (KRI), organized by the Indonesian Talent Development Center, serves as a platform for innovation, featuring events like the Wheeled Indonesian Soccer Robot Contest (KRSBI-B). This study focuses on implementing a PID control system on a PG 45 type DC motor in a wheeled soccer robot, utilizing the Ziegler-Nichols method to determine optimal PID parameters. The goal is to design a stable PID control system and analyze how Kp, Ki, and Kd parameters influence robot movement. The research employs a scientific, rational, empirical, and systematic approach, using the Ziegler-Nichols method in quantitative research. The results demonstrate the successful design and implementation of the PID control system on the PG45 DC motor, with a rotary encoder used for RPM output and three-wheel kinematics for varied movements. While the Kp, Ki, and Kd values were optimal in motor tests without a load, some values failed to reach the setpoint during road tests due to additional motor load. Adjusting Kp, Ki, and Kd significantly affects the robot's movement, enhancing quick error response, reducing constant errors, and improving overshoot responsiveness. Future research should consider the test environment, use additional sensors for better data accuracy, and conduct repeated tests and evaluations to ensure system performance. This study offers practical and theoretical insights for the development of wheeled soccer robots and contributes significantly to future robotics research.]]>

<![CDATA[The Minangkabau tribe has a traditional percussion instrument called Talempong. Talempong is one of the cultural heritages that is rarely used by today's young generation. Due to the expensive price of Talempong, the size of the Talempong base reaches 140x35 cm, heavy enough that 2-3 people are needed to lift it. Therefore, this research aims to create and design a dual tone electric Talempong system using piezoelectric sensors based on teensy 4.1 as a new innovation for traditional Talempong that is lighter, and minimalist. This research method is engineering research that explains the performance specifications that explain the performance of the electric Talempong system and the design specifications explain the accuracy and precision of the electric Talempong sound. Based on the objectives of the research, the results of the performance specifications of the tool were obtained, namely the characterisation of piezoelectric sensors, signal control circuits, Talempong sound recordings, and Talempong elektik mechanics. While the results of the design specifications are the results of the analysis of the average accuracy of the original Talempong sound with the electric Talempong getting accuracy data of 99.8%. The average error in the frequency accuracy data of the original Talempong with the electric Talempong is 0.24%. The accuracy data obtained for tone C is 99.9%, tone G 99.9%, and tone C ‘observance at 100%. The average practicalisation data for electric talempog musical instruments is 94% with very practical criteria.]]>

<![CDATA[The remote sensing system, commonly referred to as radar, enables the monitoring of the Earth's surface by transmitting and receiving reflected microwave signals. With advancements in technology, remote sensing systems can now produce visual outputs in the form of 2D and even 3D images with high resolution. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has become one of the preferred methods for remote sensing. Using microwave signals, SAR radar is not exempt from disturbances such as out-of-band frequencies, interference, and other issues, which result in unclear radar images and noise. Therefore, a bandpass filter is required to filter signals in SAR radar systems. The proposed filter is designed using a microstrip layout. Microstrip filters offer advantages such as ease of design, the ability to operate at higher frequencies, low profile, and easy integration with other devices. The filter is designed using the couple line method, with a substrate having a dielectric constant of 2.17 and a thickness of 1.6 mm. The proposed design is tailored to the characteristics of SAR, targeting a filter frequency of 5 GHz with a narrow bandwidth of approximately 10 MHz. Simulation results indicate that the filter achieves a center frequency of 5.01 GHz, a bandwidth of 50 MHz, an insertion loss of -2.7 dB, and a return loss of -28 dB. Measurements of the fabricated filter show a center frequency of 5.03 GHz, a bandwidth of 18 MHz, an insertion loss of -2.8 dB, and a return loss of -15.11 dB. Based on these findings, the microstrip bandpass filter designed using the couple line method can be effectively used for SAR applications.]]>
