Smart system for tracking raising rate of crickets using infrared camera

Smart system for tracking raising rate of crickets using infrared camera

Abstract

In raising crickets for meat consumption, the growth rate and growth period of crickets are important data used to identify the number of crickets per breeding area at each age. Therefore, the researcher has an idea to create a system for monitoring the growth rate of crickets in a closed system using an infrared camera combined with computer image processing to study the growth and identify the growth period of crickets at each age in order to obtain knowledge that can be disseminated to farmers to improve the breeding process for maximum efficiency.

Objective

ปัจจุบันจิ้งหรีดถือได้ว่าเป็นสัตว์เศรษฐกิจชนิดใหม่ของประเทศไทยซึ่งทางภาครัฐโดยเฉพาะกรมปศุสัตว์ได้เริ่มมีการส่งเสริมให้ภาคการเกษตรได้เพาะเลี้ยงจิ้งหรีดเพื่อการบริโภคสำหรับการส่งออก และเป็นการตอบรับกับเทรนด์อุตสาหกรรมอาหารใหม่ (Novel food) ตามแนวทางขององค์การอาหาร และเกษตรแห่งสหประชาชาติ (FAO : Food and Agriculture Organization) ซึ่งคาดการณ์เอาไว้ว่าจำนวนประชากรโลกจะเพิ่มขึ้นอย่างต่อเนื่องทำให้ความต้องการแหล่งโปรตีนมีมากขึ้นตามไปด้วย คณะผู้วิจัยจึงมีแนวความคิดที่จะหาสร้างระบบเลี้ยงจิ้งหรีดที่มีประสิทธิภาพ

Market Maturity Matters: Analyzing the Performance Impact of Listing Duration

Given the fact that the equity market contributes a significant amount to Thai economy and increasing participants and interest by Thai companies, these facts inspire and motivate us to establish a study to analyze whether the stock market can indeed be an active booster of company performances and characteristics of companies which will be beneficial from being in the stock market. These results can support higher listing interest from companies, provide actionable ideas to companies aiming to improve their performance in the competitive arena, and suggest improvements for the stock market to further establish a stronger capital market penetration and foundation in Thailand. The main hypothesis driving this project is to examine whether “aging in the market” contributes to measurable improvements in a company’s performance. Specifically, we seek to understand if the presence of Thai companies in the Stock Exchange of Thailand correlates with enhanced operational outcomes, thereby providing insights into the true benefits of public listing on long-term performance.

Design Electric Tuk-Tuk for the Development of New Automotive Technology

This project aims to design and develop an electric tuk-tuk by converting the traditional combustion engine system to an electric system, supporting the reduction of air pollution and promoting sustainable automotive technology. The electric tuk-tuk is designed using a BLDC electric motor and a control system specifically adapted for the unique driving style of three-wheeled vehicles in Thailand. The study considers suitable energy systems and includes interviews with traditional tuk-tuk drivers to ensure the vehicle meets everyday usability needs. The findings suggest that adopting electric tuk-tuks not only reduces emissions and PM2.5 particulate matter but also enhances an eco-friendly image for Thailand’s tourism sector while supporting domestic innovation and economic growth.

A smart child manikin for CPR training

A child manikin for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training includes the trachea mechanism, neck mechanism, lung mechanism, heart pump mechanism, artificial skin, and sensor system. All components work together to function similar to a real child. It can be used to practice heart pumping and resuscitation. The manikin has been designed and verified by resuscitation experts. It has a system to evaluate the accuracy of the training and display the results on the computer for real-time monitoring.
