Enhancing the efficiency of in-ear monitors for hearing-impaired musicians

Abstract

Some musicians are hearing impaired, some have finished their careers, but some continue to work, and it is much harder for them to be deaf than for musicians who are not. Some use hearing aids in their daily lives and use in-ear monitors in their live performances, which seem normal, but in their in-ears they only hear the metronome and drums. How can we improve the performance of in-ear monitors to near normal?

Objective

นักดนตรีบางคนที่พิการทางการได้ยิน บางคนจบอาชีพการงาน แต่บางคนยังคงทำงานต่อไปโดยที่หูหนวกนั้นยากกว่านักดนตรีปกติมาก บางคนใช้เครื่องช่วยฟังในชีวิตประจำวันและใช้เครื่องช่วยฟังแบบอินเอียร์ในการแสดง สดซึ่งดูเหมือนปกติ แต่ในอินเอียร์ของพวกเขา ได้ยินเพียงเครื่องเมตรอนอมและกลองเท่านั้น ถ้าพวกเขาสามารถใช้อินเอียร์มอนิเตอร์ในการทำงานได้แต่ยังไม่สามารถทำได้อย่างเต็มประสิทธิภำพเกิดจากอะไรและแก้ไขอย่างไร

Testing of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) based on IEC 61851-1 Annex A

This project focuses on developing a test device for an AC charger for electric vehicles according to the IEC 61851-1 Annex A standard by simulating the test circuit inside an electric vehicle according to the standard to test the operation of the AC charger. The test topic is related to the communication between the electric vehicle and the charger via a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control circuit system and creating an operation manual (WI) to prepare for testing in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 standards, which are general requirements for laboratory capabilities in conducting tests and/or calibrations. The overall picture of this project is to develop test equipment and create an operation manual by collecting knowledge and various devices and then comparing the data to meet the abovementioned standards to test the Type II AC charger in each state. The test equipment consists of a communication part between the test equipment and the AC charger using a PLC S7-1200 and an HMI to control the operation of the switches in the test equipment circuit, including controlling parameters and displaying results. The equipment used to measure values ​​is an oscilloscope and a multimeter that have undergone a calibration process to comply with the specified standards.

Development of the intelligent indicator label for monitoring rancidity of deep fried foods

The production process of the food rancidity indicator label consists of three main steps: 1) preparation of the indicator solution, 2) preparation of the cellulose solution, and 3) formation of the sheet. The indicator solution includes bromothymol blue and methyl red, which act as indicators. The cellulose solution consists of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium hydroxide, polyethylene glycol 400, and the indicator solution. For the sheet formation, the cellulose solution was mixed with natural latex to increase flexibility and impart hydrophobic properties. After drying, the invention appears as a thin, dark blue label. When exposed to volatile compounds from rancid food, the label changes color from dark blue to green, and then to yellow, corresponding to the increasing amount of volatile compounds from the rancid food.

KinderForest : Puzzle Building Game with VR Technology

KinderForest : Puzzle Building Game with VR Technology is designed to utilize Virtual Reality (VR) technology with the primary aim of promoting creative problem-solving skills and basic practical application abilities among players. This project presents the game in an Augmented Virtual Reality (AR VR) format, emphasizing physical engagement of players during gameplay while fostering creativity and fundamental application skills. The project team has chosen to utilize Unreal Engine 5.1 and Oculus Quest 2 virtual reality glasses to develop the game in the form of augmented virtual reality technology. Within the game, there will be various levels that require creative thinking and different approaches to pass. Time constraints will be a crucial element in completing missions and progressing through these levels. Players will physically move their bodies in response to in-game movements. Each level will present unique challenges that will necessitate both physical movement and problem-solving skills. The game will provide different rewards based on the outcomes of mission completion, and players will be informed of their results once they have successfully passed a level.
