Improving the strength of solid electrolyte cells

Abstract

The research on improving the strength of solid electrolytes aims to enhance the properties of solid electrolyte materials produced from cement and additives that help develop the cement structure to generate electricity. The main components include sodium chloride (NaCl) and graphite, which contribute to the material’s ability to generate a weak electrical current. The objective is to develop an electricity-generating flooring material. This study involves preparing a mixture of cement, water, sodium chloride (NaCl), and graphite to enhance the material’s electrical conductivity. It is highly anticipated that this research will lead to the development of concrete flooring capable of generating electricity and can be further expanded for future applications.

Smart Cat House

This project presents the development of a "Smart Cat House" using Internet of Things (IoT) and image processing technology to facilitate and enhance the safety of cat care for owners. The infrastructure of the smart cat house consists of an ESP8266 board connected to an ESP32 CAM camera for cat monitoring, and an Arduino board that controls various sensors such as a motion sensor in the litter box, a DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor, an ultrasonic water and food level sensor, including a water supply system for cats, an automatic feeding system, and a ventilation system controlled by a DC FAN that adjusts its operation according to the measured temperature to maintain a suitable environment. There is also an IR sensor to detect the cat's entry into the litter box and an automatic sand changing system with a SERVO MOTOR. All systems are connected and controlled through the Blynk application, which can be used on mobile phones, allowing owners to monitor and care for their pets remotely. Cat detection and identification uses image processing technology from the ESP32 CAM camera in conjunction with YOLO (You Only Look Once), a high-performance object detection algorithm, to detect and distinguish between cats and people. Data from various sensors are sent to the Arduino board to control the operation of various devices in the smart cat house, such as turning lights on and off, automatically changing sand, adjusting temperature and humidity, feeding food and water at scheduled times, or ventilation. The use of a connection system via ESP8266 and the Blynk application makes it easy and convenient to control various devices. Owners can monitor and control the operation of the entire system from anywhere with internet access.

Mulberry Kefir Prebiotic Plus

Mulberry Kefir is a fermented drink made from ripe mulberry fruit, made from ripe mulberry juice. Its pinkish-red color is the color of the natural anthocyanin in mulberries. Anthocyanins have antioxidant properties and contain the prebiotic fructo-oligosaccharides, the probiotic microorganisms Lactobacillus and Saccharomeces. It has a sweet and sour taste, is fizzy and has a little alcohol. The taste and fizz come from production technology, which uses a fermentation process from microorganisms. Mulberry kefir is considered a functional beverage made from plants (Plant Based Beverage), suitable for people who are lactose intolerant and those who do not consume beverages made from milk. It makes you feel refreshed after drinking it.

Artificial intelligence of things system for monitoring and controlling irrigation using weather information

This research focuses on the design and development of a prototype Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) system for monitoring and controlling irrigation using weather information. The system consists of four main components: 1) Weather Station – This component includes various sensors such as air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and sunlight duration, among others, to collect real-time weather data. 2) Controller Unit – This unit is equipped with machine learning algorithms or models to estimate the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and calculate the plant’s water requirement by integrating the crop coefficient (Kc) with other plant-related data. This enables the system to determine the optimal irrigation amount based on plant needs automatically. 3) User Interface (UI) and Display – This section allows farmers or users to input relevant information, such as plant type, soil type, irrigation system type, number of water emitters, planting distance, and growth stages. It also provides a display for monitoring and interaction with the system. 4) Irrigation Unit – This component is responsible for controlling the water supply and managing the irrigation emitters to ensure efficient water distribution based on the calculated requirements.
