Wildland Fire Fighter Suit

Wildland Fire Fighter Suit

Abstract

The forest firefighting suit consists of the following components and uses: The forest firefighting suit is designed and developed to be suitable for the behavior of the officers and the conditions of the work area, consisting of a shirt and pants. The material used in the sewing of the suit is aramid fabric, which has the property of being able to prevent the spread of fire, to prevent the officers from burning while performing their duties in the event that the forest fire spreads close to them, which is different from the current suits that cannot prevent fires. The shirt is designed with a mesh on the side of the body to release internal heat so that air can circulate well. The sleeves at the elbows have a support point to prevent contact with the ground or obstacles. The collar has a slot for a portable fan and a fan air circulation channel on the back, which can be turned on while performing forest firefighting duties, helping to prevent the body temperature from getting too hot, reducing the risk of heatstroke. When the fan battery runs out, it can be removed for charging and put back in when needed. The pants are designed with mesh on the inside or in blind spots to release internal heat so that air can circulate well. The pants at the knees have a support point to prevent contact with the ground or obstacles. The forest firefighting suit, consisting of a shirt and pants, has been designed and developed to be able to be produced domestically, reducing imports from abroad

Objective

ปัญหาไฟป่าที่ทวีความรุนแรงขึ้นเรื่อย ๆ ส่งผลกระทบในหลายๆด้านโดยเฉพาะผู้ที่พักอาศัยบริเวณใกล้ไฟป่าต้องเผชิญกับปัญหาด้านสุขภาพที่เกิดจากฝุ่น PM2.5 ประกอบกับทางภาครัฐยังขาดแคลนบุคลากรเจ้าหน้าที่ ที่มีความชำนาญในการดับไฟป่า รวมถึงยังขาดชุดดับไฟป่าที่เป็นชุดสามารถกันไฟได้เหมาะสมต่อการดับไฟ เนื่องจากในปัจจุบันชุดที่เจ้าหน้าที่อุทยาน และเจ้าหน้าที่ศูนย์ดับไฟป่า สวมใส่ในการปฏิบัติหน้าที่นั้นเป็นชุดลายพลาง กางเกงกับเสื้อแบบทั่วไป ไม่สามารถปกป้อง หรือกันไฟเมื่อไฟมาถึงระยะประชิดตัวได้ในระดับที่เหมาะสม ซึ่งสาเหตุนี้ส่งผลให้เจ้าหน้าที่บางรายได้รับอันตรายถึงขั้นไฟคลอกได้ ผู้วิจัยจึงได้เล็งเห็นถึงความสำคัญในการออกแบบและพัฒนาชุดดับไฟป่า เพื่อให้เจ้าหน้าที่อุทยาน และเจ้าหน้าที่ศูนย์ดับไฟป่า สามารถสวมใส่ปฏิบัติหน้าที่ได้อย่างปลอดภัย ช่วยลดอุปสรรคในการดับไฟป่าและปฏิบัติหน้าที่ได้อย่างเต็มประสิทธิภาพมากยิ่งขึ้น

Vision-Based Spacecraft Pose Estimation

The capture of a target spacecraft by a chaser is an on-orbit docking operation that requires an accurate, reliable, and robust object recognition algorithm. Vision-based guided spacecraft relative motion during close-proximity maneuvers has been consecutively applied using dynamic modeling as a spacecraft on-orbit service system. This research constructs a vision-based pose estimation model that performs image processing via a deep convolutional neural network. The pose estimation model was constructed by repurposing a modified pretrained GoogLeNet model with the available Unreal Engine 4 rendered dataset of the Soyuz spacecraft. In the implementation, the convolutional neural network learns from the data samples to create correlations between the images and the spacecraft’s six degrees-of-freedom parameters. The experiment has compared an exponential-based loss function and a weighted Euclidean-based loss function. Using the weighted Euclidean-based loss function, the implemented pose estimation model achieved moderately high performance with a position accuracy of 92.53 percent and an error of 1.2 m. The in-attitude prediction accuracy can reach 87.93 percent, and the errors in the three Euler angles do not exceed 7.6 degrees. This research can contribute to spacecraft detection and tracking problems. Although the finished vision-based model is specific to the environment of synthetic dataset, the model could be trained further to address actual docking operations in the future.

Effect of Gum Arabic Combined with Mangosteen Peel Extract (MPE) on Extending the Shelf Life of ‘Namdokmai Sithong’

This study aimed to evaluate the optimal edible coating formulation for 'Namdokmai Sithong' mangoes by incorporating 10% gum arabic (GA) with mangosteen peel extract (MPE) at varying concentrations (1%, 3%, and 5%), compared to a control treatment (distilled water). The coated fruits were stored at room temperature for 14 days, and their physicochemical properties were assessed. The findings indicate that the application of GA (10%) combined with MPE effectively mitigated color changes in mango flesh, suppressed disease incidence, and preserved fruit firmness. Additionally, the coating significantly delayed alterations in total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), vitamin C content, carotenoid levels, and phenolic compounds. Among the tested formulations, GA (10%) + MPE (1%) exhibited the highest efficacy in extending shelf life, maintaining fruit quality, and enhancing surface gloss.

Fire retardant

The purpose of this invention is to develop a forest fire prevention agent that has the ability to prevent long-term forest fires, not only to suppress forest fires or prevent forest fires from spreading widely, but to prevent them from starting to catch fire from the beginning. It can prevent forest fires comprehensively and can be prevented for a long time during the peak forest fire period or the dry season, which is about 3-4 months. There are no residues or minimal residues without causing harm to the surrounding environment under the specified standards. Emphasis is placed on the use of raw materials, equipment, and chemicals that can be easily found in Thailand. This includes using the value of production costs as low as possible. This makes it suitable for use in large quantities for spraying and protecting forest areas in forest areas that are prone to fire. Estimated average for pollution caused by forest fires include particulate matter (PM), including PM2.5, PM10, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide, Nitrogendioxide, VOC etc.
