Crisps Processor (AGV-01)
Get PDFCrisps Processor or codename AGV-01 is a semi-automatic machine that serves as a special crisps processing machine for small and medium-sized industries that are still working on crisps production manually. The AGV-01 innovation research project is invented through a Public-Private Research Network (PPRN) research grant from the Ministry of Education, Malaysia. Crisps production using manually is slow and tiring especially in the process of popping, frying and lifting. Therefore AGV-01 was developed to speed up the production of crisps and to increase productivity by combining all of the major crisps production processes under one production area. The merger of the processes not only saves production time but it also increases the crisps production by up to 5.7 times compared to the existing manual method. The AGV-01 does not change the original recipes and flavor of the existing crisps, but it improves the quality and texture of the crisps. AGV-01 is not only focused on time saving and quality improvements as well as production quantities alone, but with the use of AGV-01, the industry can also produce up to 5 different types of crisps, based on bananas, potatoes, cassavas, yams and sweet potatoes

Fabrication, Measurement and Verification of Switchable Dielectric Resonator Antenna Array for 5G Applications
Get PDFThis paper describes the fabrication, measurement and verification of switchable dielectric resonator antenna array for 5G applications. 5G has a small size of antenna due to its shorter wavelength compared to the previous generation. This small size causes difficulty in obtaining precision in the fabrication process as well as measurement. In this research, the dielectric resonators (DR) are painstakingly aligned on the ground plane slot by using the tracing paper. This simple technique had successfully enhanced the accuracy of the DR position since the misalignment between the DR and the feeding network is minimized. The performance of the reflection coefficient of the fabricated antenna are verified by connecting the port directly to the Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) to minimal the additional losses during the measurement. The results of the reflection coefficient showed that the losses for five various switching angles have been reduced in the range of 2 to 3 dB. Subsequent to this, the switchable DRA array is able to steer at three various steering angle which are 0°, -30° and +30° with 3dB beamwidth around 24°. Hence, the proposed switchable DRA array is capable to cover 60° sector which is considered suitable for 5G applications
Analysis of Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Al-SiCp Metal Matrix Composite
Get PDFAccording on development of technology, composite materials are given first preference due to its high strength and less weight ratio. The main application of metal matrix composites is used in aeronautical and automobile applications. Aluminium is light weight materias, but it has lower mechanical strength. To improve the mechanical properties of Aluminium (Al), silicon carbide particle (SiCp) is added as reinforcement to Aluminium powder for preparing metal matrix composite. The metal matrix composite is produced by powder metallurgy method. This method is cheap and very effective. The composites was fabricated by variation of SiCp reinforcement from 0 % , 5 %, 10 % and 15 % wt. Four samples of the composite materials have been prepared according to testing for bulk density, compressive strength, vickers hardness and crystal structure. From the results obtained, the composition of SiCp reinforcement can influence siqnificantly on bulk density, compressive strength and vickers hardness. If the composition of SiCp reinforcement increase, the bulk density, compressive strength and vickers hardness tend to increase. The highest density, highest hardness and compressive strength are achieved at sample with 15 % SiCp at sintering temperature 650oC. According the XRD results show that it is found two phases such as Al phase and SiC at samples with 5 to 15 % wt. of SiCp
