One of the most important subcategory of multiphase flow is gas-liquid flows predominantly found in evaporators, condensers, micro-reactors, cryogenic engines and in compact heat exchangers. In the present study, air-water two phase flows in a 4.7mm inner diameter glass tube with 0.3mm thickness is characterized using an IR transceiver and a headphone jack. The output of the IR receiver is sent to the laptop using a 3.5mm headphone jack. The novelty in the present work is that this eliminates the need for a dedicated micro-controller/ DAQ system to process the data. A simple program written in python is used to process the input of the mic and provide amplitude and frequency information which identifies the flow regime. High-Speed Images captured simultaneously are used to validate the output obtained using the headphone jack.","PeriodicalId":38109,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Automation and Smart Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45591925","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}

This paper proposes a plant informatization approach which can be implemented by smaller manufacturers through using add-on sensor systems to monitor production equipment. An accelerometer is installed on existing machinery to collect vibration data, which is subjected to feature extraction to create a monitoring model through implementing the LDA algorithm and the fuzzy neural networks.

The system is an application paradigm of information and communication technologies for traditional industries, specifically in the fields of aquaculture and agriculture. Live creatures are the main products of these industries, raising challenges for warehouse management. Warehousing of high unit-price ornamental fishes such as koi, stingray, and arowana is even more difficult since, in addition to counting and classification, such warehousing requires the identification of individual animals whose shapes and texture patterns vary as they grow. Therefore, rather than using invasive RFID-based systems, we combine mobile cloud computing and big data analytics techniques including image and video collection and transmission using handheld mobile devices, unsupervised texture pattern classification of fish tank videos, fish image retrieval, and statistical analysis. The proposed system is scalable based on a Hadoop framework and a small set of a single name-nodes and data-nodes can identify a particular fish among 500,000 koi in 7 seconds. The proposed warehousing system can form the basis for the development of breeding histories, anti-forgery certificate, and aquaculture business intelligence.","PeriodicalId":38109,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Automation and Smart Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41763315","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}

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors represent the most recent development in a long evolution of motor technology. BLDCs provide enhanced reliability, decreased noise and extended lifetime while also providing efficiency superior to that available from AC induction motors. A speed control scheme of a BLDC motor using a Hall effect sensor is proposed. The Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique is used for control through a pre-programmed microcontroller, and the motor speed is handled by a remote and displayed in an LCD by the Hall effect sensor. The Hall effect sensor included in the speed control is a good alternative which can improve drive robustness due to reduced cleaning and maintenance. This development is expected to improve remote monitoring and operation of BLDC motors in a single package well-suited for dusty/ limited access environments.","PeriodicalId":38109,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Automation and Smart Technology","volume":"25 6","pages":"65-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41259596","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}

Currently, general CAD/CAM systems generate pocket milling tool paths according to user-designated cutting parameters typically including cutting depth, feed rate, and spindle speed. Pocket milling is often used for rough machining, and shorter cutting times are used to increase productivity. Although shorter machining times can be accomplished with deeper cutting, it may result in unstable cutting (chatter). Stability lobe diagrams (SLD) generated from cutting and tapping tests on selected machine tools describe the relationship between cut depth and spindle speed. However, despite offering useful information for selecting cutting parameters for chatter-free cutting, SLD has not been integrated with existed CAD/CAM systems. Therefore, this study integrates SLD in a CAD/CAM system to effectively determine the optimum cut depth and spindle speed for a theoretically chatter free pocket milling tool path. A case study is used to verify the proposed system integration.","PeriodicalId":38109,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Automation and Smart Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41426692","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}
