A Study of Sound Absorption Material Using Rubber Powder from Old Tires

In Thailand, the quantity of old tires has been increasing annually, posing a significant environmental challenge due to their non-biodegradable material. However, old tires contain an internal porous structure, which suggests their potential application as sound-absorbing materials. Porosity is a key characteristic that enables materials to trap sound waves, making them effective for noise reduction. Therefore, this study aims to investigate and develop sound-absorbing materials from old tire rubber powder. The methodology involved mixing old tire powder with fresh latex at a ratio of 1:2, followed by drying at a temperature of 120°C for four hours. Subsequently, the physical properties influencing sound absorption, including density, porosity, and water absorption, were analyzed. The results indicated that the sound-absorbing material produced from old tire rubber powder showed a density of 0.96 g/cm³, a porosity value of 0.45, and a water absorption of 11.03%. Therefore, the findings suggest that old tire rubber powder has the potential to be effectively utilized as a sound-absorbing material.

AUTOMATED VERTICAL METAL SHEET STORAGE SYSTEM

This project aims to introduce an Automated Vertical Metal Sheet Storage System. The project is aimed at teaching how to make an Automation Vertical Metal Sheet Storage System with the integration of microcontroller devices. The project is divided into two main sections, which are the structure and control systems of the Automation Vertical Metal Sheet Storage System that will be designed and drawn through a computer program and constructed using major aluminum structures upon completion of their actual sizes outlined in the programs. Also, a Microcontroller control system using GX Works 2 program from Mitsubishi PLC has been designed for this purpose where it controls up and down movements as well as sideways movement of the pallet. It also has a weighing capability along with touch screen display for displaying information about the steel plates and controlling the Automation Vertical Metal Sheet Storage System with safety light curtain that protect users safety. These tests have shown that the machine operates normally. There are few mistakes whose rates fall within those expected by humans.

Classifying children's writing skill levels using image processing

Currently, the issue of developmental writing disabilities in children is a matter of great importance for school-age children. Diagnosing whether a child has developmental writing disabilities relies on writing skill assessments, which are administered to those seeking diagnosis and evaluated by medical professionals or experts. However, there are still limitations in the diagnostic process, which depends heavily on expert physicians, leading to a high demand for human resources. To address this, we have developed a method for scoring writing skill assessments using image processing technology, based on existing scoring criteria. Currently, three criteria are used for scoring: writing position, article format, and copying speed. We have also created a web application to make the system more accessible and easier to use.
