Process piping welds are important because the equipment is a key component in energy and chemical processing. The study assesses repair and original welds using tensile tests, microhardness, microscopy, crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) at −29 °C and Charpy at three distinct temperatures, followed by statistical analysis and numerical modelling. Experiment involves the welding of...

In this paper, an automated machine used for grass planting was proposed. Double-layer structure is employed in this machine, which includes a storage unit, a separated screw conveyor unit, a belt-driven unit, a crawler-driven unit and WiFi communication unit. This machine has higher efficiency attributed to the optimized control program of desert wind and sand....

This study explores the contemporary shift away from traditional farming practices in various region, including urbanized countries like the Philippines, leading to an increased reliance on imported food. The focus of this research is AUTOGROW, an innovative plant box designed to address space constraints in urban environments. Serving as an indoor garden, AUTOGROW utilizes advanced...

Fuel cells, particularly in high-voltage applications, benefit from DC-DC converters that deliver higher output voltage and lower input current ripple to enhance efficiency, prolong lifespan, and improve reliability. This investigation presents a quasi-Z source DC-DC voltage regulator with a new voltage doubling unit. The voltage regulator implements a new current-controlled source (CCS) voltage doubling structure....

Offshore jackets are essential structures in the energy sector, including wind farms and oil and gas activities. The experiment involves welding a 72 mm K-bevel S355 KT-40 plate with gas-shielded flux-cored arc welding (FCAW-GS) in a horizontal position. Evaluate welds using microhardness, tensile strength, Charpy impact toughness at −40 °C, crack tip opening displacement (CTOD)...

In laser-arc hybrid welding, the selection of welding parameters is crucial for achieving excellent mechanical properties of weld joints. In this paper, based on the experimental data of laser-arc hybrid plate butt welding, a BP neural network was employed to establish a prediction model between the hybrid-welding process parameters, namely welding current I/A, laser power...

Underwater monitoring technology plays a crucial role in studying aquatic life, particularly in mangrove ecosystems, which are vital to marine biodiversity. Traditional survey techniques for assessing fish diversity and habitat health in rural Philippine mangrove ecosystem rely on manual methods such as traps, netting, hook-and-line fishing, hand-catching, and visual observations. These methods also involve measuring...

The configuration of the active gate driver (AGD) significantly impacts how well power semiconductor devices work and how efficient they are. This research presents a new AGD single chip design that identifies the Miller plateau when the signal is turning on and off by utilizing a two-level Miller detector precisely. Moreover, it includes a power...
