One of the important parameters for electrical systems is the power factor (cos phi), which is the ratio of the real power (watt) to the apparent power (volt ampere). The best cos phi value is between 0.85 to 1. A resistive load causes the voltage and current in equal phase angle, while the inductive load causes the current to lag behind the voltage. On the other hand, the capacitive load causes the current to precede the voltage (leading). A simulation to determine the power factor of an electrical network can be done with Proteus ISIS software by creating a phase detection circuit. Automatic control can be done by a microcontroller. This simulation circuit can be used as power factor correction, a trigger angle on SCR trigger for DC motor speed control, for rocket launch angle adjuster, to measure the angle of inclination, and other uses relating to angle adjustments.
Nowadays, health care has turned out to be more technology-oriented. Today's technology is demanded to be practical and easy to use. The number of mobile devices based on the Android operating system has increased significantly based on data. The open-source nature of android helps in programming applications easily according to user requirements. The syringe pump is a medical device that functions to enter the medicinal fluid into the patient's body at a specific dose and time automatically in mL/hour. The syringe pump is generally equipped with an alarm. Alarms have a vital function to provide information to nurses or doctors on duty. Medical officers cannot hear alarms outside the patient monitoring room. This paper aims to design a syringe pump that is equipped with a NodeMCU8266 WiFi module to provide notifications via a smartphone so that nurses or doctors can know the alarm even though they are outside the patient monitoring room. So, this is expected can improve patient safety. In addition, this paper also aims to verify the size of the syringe against the drug flow rate. Based on the test results, the syringe pump can control the drug flow rate with a sensor accuracy of 0.0217 and an error rate of 0.6% at a target volume of 5mL. The syringe pump can also send alarm notifications to smartphones in real-time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
