The dynamic and complex nature of construction sites can lead to the above unsafe conditions. However, previous research has developed sensor system for detecting the accident which can only be applied to crane prototype in laboratory. The objective of this research is to develop a sensor warning system (SW system) for warning construction workers from unsafe conditions. This study focuses on a lifting operation of the tower crane. The SW system is developed based on the Internet of Things (IoT) concept, GPS sensor, and server. In this paper, the pilot test was conducted on testing GPS devices which could lead to determine the distance error and calibrate the system. As a result, the average of distance error was 1.96 meters for calibrating the system. Further study will continue to develop the full-scale system which can be applied to construction site.","PeriodicalId":333863,"journal":{"name":"2018 2nd International Conference on Engineering Innovation (ICEI)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123563626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The three point bending tests with varying sheet thicknesses and punch plate radii were conducted to describe the bendability of aluminum alloy sheets. The AE sensing technique was used to indicate cracks, and to evaluate the bendability of the sheets. Three AE signal features (maximum amplitude, root mean square and peak-to-peak) were extracted from the AE signals. The results confirm that the AE technique could be applied to detect a fracture from bending behavior as well as to evaluate the bendability of aluminum alloy sheet.","PeriodicalId":333863,"journal":{"name":"2018 2nd International Conference on Engineering Innovation (ICEI)","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124046310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They have been designed for working with patient's limbs and can be used for hand positioning and executing task which help reduce therapist's workload and give them an alternative way to rehabilitate patients. However, there are some patients with permanent impairments, which cannot improve from rehabilitation. Thus, portable assistive devices could greatly help them performing simple activities of daily living (ADL), but such device has not been fully explored, the present design of tendon routing cannot closely replicate finger orientation and motion during grasping. Improving the flexion tendon would increase the possibility of grasping for patients with hand disability. This research aims to develop a tendon routing design of a soft exoskeleton to increase compatibility with human hand, while it can execute tasks and exercises more naturally compared to normal limbs to help stroke patients to live independently. The results convinced that the proposed flexion routing can closely replicate human grasping motion with sufficient fingertip force to perform daily activities.","PeriodicalId":333863,"journal":{"name":"2018 2nd International Conference on Engineering Innovation (ICEI)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124110236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The moisture reduction of okara and specific energy consumption of the dryer were evaluated. The results showed that increasing the drying temperature led to an increase in the amount of moisture reduction of the okara and a decrease in the specific energy consumption of the drying process. With the use of the corrugated feeding pipes, not only the moisture reduction of the okara was enhanced, but the energy efficiency was also improved. The specific energy consumption for the one-pass and two-pass drying of the drying system using the corrugated feeding pipes could be reduced up to 21% and 31%, respectively, as compared with the drying system using the smooth feeding pipes.","PeriodicalId":333863,"journal":{"name":"2018 2nd International Conference on Engineering Innovation (ICEI)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132532693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
