Background: Weather monitoring is an important aspect of crop cultivation for reducing economic loss while increasing productivity. Weather is the combination of current meteorological components, such as temperature, wind direction and speed, amount and kind of precipitation, sunshine hours and so on. The weather defines a time span ranging from a few hours to several days. The periodic or continuous surveillance or the analysis of the status of the atmosphere and the climate, including parameters such as temperature, moisture, wind velocity and barometric pressure, is known as weather monitoring. Because of the increased usage of the internet, weather monitoring has been upgraded to smart weather monitoring. The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the new technology that can help with many precision farming operations. Smart weather monitoring is one of the precision agriculture technologies that use sensors to monitor correct weather. The main objective of the research is to design a smart weather monitoring and real-time alert system to overcome the issue of monitoring weather conditions in agricultural farms in order for farmers to make better decisions. Methods: Different sensors were used in this study to detect temperature and humidity, pressure, rain, light intensity, CO2 level, wind speed and direction in an agricultural farm and real time clock sensor was used to measured real time weather data. The major component of this system was an Arduino Uno microcontroller and the system ran according to a program written in the Arduino Uno software. Result: This is a low-cost smart weather monitoring system. This system’s output unit were a liquid crystal display and a GSM900A module. The weather data was displayed on a liquid crystal display and the GSM900A module was used to send the data to a mobile phone. This smart weather station was used to monitor real-time weather conditions while sending weather information to the farmer’s mobile phone, allowing him to make better decisions to increase yield.

A thermal cycler is used to amplify segments of DNA using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It is an instrument that requires precise temperature control and rapid temperature changes for certain experimental protocols. However, the commercial thermal cyclers are still bulky, expensive and limited for laboratory use only.  As such it is difficult for on-site molecular screening and diagnostics. In this work, a portable and low cost thermal cycler was designed and developed. The thermal cycler block was designed to fit six microcentrifuge tubes. A Proportional-Integral temperature controller was used to control the thermal cycler block temperature. The results showed that the maximum temperature ramp rate of the developed thermal cycler was 5.5 °C/s. The proportional gain (Kp) and integral gain (Ki) of the PI controller were 15 A/V and 1.8 A/Vs respectively. Finally, the developed thermal cycler successfully amplified six DNA samples at the expected molecular weight of 150 base pair. It has been validated using the Eppendorf Mastercycler nexus gradient system and gel electrophoresis analysis

Hot-plate LTCC gas sensors combine advantages of silicon structures (low power consumption) and typical ceramics gas sensors (stability and reliability). Such elements can be integrated in MEMS packages as well as in ceramic sensor arrays. Moreover, they can be produced in small series with relatively low cost. One important key in hot-plate design are properly formed beams. This paper presents possibilities and problems related to laser forming of LTCC ceramics for hot-plate gas sensors. Influence of beam width on power consumption and temperature distribution is discussed. Possibilities to achieve beam width as narrow as possible are practically tested by laser cutting. Obtained results are very promising for future work and for possible application of LTCC ceramics in such type of gas sensors.

This research discusses the polymer optical fiber sensor for respiratory measurements. The infrared LED that produces light will propagate along the polymer optical fiber which will be received by the phototransistor and the differential amplifier. The output voltage in the form of an analog signal will be converted to a digital signal by the Arduino Uno microcontroller and displayed on the computer. The polymer optical fiber sensor is installed on the corset using a variety of configuration (straight, sinusoidal, and spiral), placed in the abdomen, and a variety of positions (abdomen, chest, and back) using only a spiral configuration. While doing the inspiration, the stomach will be enlarged so that the optical fiber sensor will have strain. The strain will cause loss of power, the resulting light intensities received by the phototransistor are reduced, and the output voltage on the computer decreases. The result shows that the highest voltage amplitudes were in the spiral configuration placed in the abdominal position for slow respiration measurements with the highest range, sensitivity, and resolution which are 0.119 V, 0.238 V/s, and 0.004 s, respectively. The advantages of our work are emphasized on measurement system simplicity, low cost, easy fabrication, and handy operation and can be connected with the Arduino Uno microcontroller and computer.

Due to the soaring energy prices, the cost to maintain a basic living standard has increased, therefore choosing right insulated materials when building a new house/appliance is important. The heat transfer coefficient plays a vital role; therefore, developing an effective, accurate, and low cost testing machine is an important issue. This is also the goal of this research. The testing apparatus developed can be used to measure the thermal conductivity as a basis for the choice of the materials. The heat conduction testing equipment was designed using “the thermal conductivity comparison with a known conductivity” method in addition to the basic heat conduction theory. For the best results, several parameters were used to fine-tune the operating conductions, such as cooling flow rate, heat source temperature, etc. Three types of materials were used as the sample for verifying the accuracy of the developed apparatus: gypsum board, silicon cement and PE polyethylene foam. Four heat sources temperatures were tested: 30°C, 35°C, 40°C, and 45°C. Two cooling flow rates were used: 108 liter/hour and 90 liter/hour. In the end, ANSYS was used to validate the testing results. The testing results show that the measured thermal conductivity is accurate. Equilibrium can be reached faster when testing with high cooling flow rates. The best hot plate temperature is 30°C.

Application of plastics is increasing day by day since plastics offer many distinct advantages as compared to metals. Plastics has mainly good thermal and electrical insulation properties, corrosion resistance, chemical inertness, and high strength to weight ratio. Additionally, these are cheaper in cost as compared to conventional materials. Plastics are additionally easy to process. Nowadays, product requirements are getting critical and thus product design is getting more complex in shape. To manufacture intricate complex shape creates complexity in manufacturing process which is sometimes very difficult or almost not feasible to produce with single manufacturing process. To manufacture such critical products, welding is a complimentary process. Type of weld joint and welding process can be selected based on the product design and load application on the product. Hot plate welding is very simple welding process as compared to other plastic welding process and most commonly used. Good quality weld is the prime objective of welding process. Weld strength is dependent on several parameters which may be process parameters as well as product parameters. The objective of this study is to identify the key parameters in hot plate welding process of the plastics using Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory which is one of the prioritization techniques. Results of the study focus on understanding the key parameters affecting the weld strength. Study shows that hot plate temperature, welding time, and melting time are the key parameters affecting the weld strength.
