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

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.

Power Electronics Training Set

The Department of Engineering Education at KMITL offers courses in power electronics laboratory practices, which require the use of expensive imported training kits. This results in a loss of national revenue due to the purchase of these imported kits. Therefore, the developers propose a power electronics training kit that offers equivalent or superior functionality to the imported ones while being more cost-effective, making it suitable for student experiments.

Improving surface water quality via coagulation using Moringa, Roselle, and Tamarind seed extract.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of extracts from moringa seeds, roselle seeds, and tamarind seeds as coagulants to improve water quality in surface water sources. Extracts from these seeds serve as environmentally friendly coagulants and provide alternative options for enhancing surface water quality. The turbidity of surface water sources ranged between 14 and 24 NTU. The coagulation process used the Jar Test method, where the moringa seed, roselle seed, and tamarind seed extracts functioned as both primary coagulants and coagulant aids. In the preparation process, the seeds were finely ground and extracted using a 0.5-M sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. These extracts were then applied as coagulants to reduce turbidity and enhance water quality, with each concentration tested in 300 ml of water. The results indicated that the most effective way to remove turbidity using 2,000 mg/L of moringa seed extract, achieving a turbidity reduction of approximately 73.19% at a cost of 0.0309 baht per 300 ml of water. Followed by Tamarind seed extract, with a concentration of 4,000 mg/L, followed with a turbidity reduction of approximately 56.75% at a cost of 0.0933 baht per 300 ml. Lastly, roselle seed extract at 6,000 mg/L achieved a turbidity reduction of approximately 32.67% at a cost of 0.0567 baht per 300 ml of water.
