Glucose levels that accumulate in the blood can cause other organ disorders and even cause death. To prevent such occurrence, continuous and regular glucose measuring and monitoring is required for diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. Glucose measurement for DM patients are generally performed several times a day, so be required easy, harmless method of measuring the DM patients, and monitoring data are well recorded. Thus in this research, an android non-invasive glucose level system with wireless communication and automatic data storage on the phone’s memory was developed. The study was begun with the built of electronic and software systems as the central part of the measuring system. The electronic section consists of laser and light sensors that respond to a change in blood glucose (BG) levels, the microcontroller that controlled all of the measuring processes, and Bluetooth modules as transceiver on data communication of the android. The software section is built using an App Inventor developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to display and store data measurement on the mobile phone. The calibration process of light sensors is done with the standard tool and at last, the wireless communication systems testing and BG levels measurement. The result shows that 94 mg/dl of BG levels by standard tools equals 2.86 volts of voltage measured by the design system. The higher the BG level, the lower the voltage be. Increase the BG level causes the resistance between the transmitter and the receiver to raise and the voltage becomes low.
A four point probe-based resistivity meter using LOG112 and C8051F006 SoCs has been developed. The resistivity meter was calibrated and examined. Current-voltage characteristic-based resistances of resistors are consistent with those labeled to the resistors. Resistivities of the resistors are independent of the injected current, which agree with theory. The resistivity of TiO 2 thin film depends on the injected current due to minority and/or majority carrier injection.
An understanding of the characteristics and parameters of ocean wavescan help to explan and develop the potential of ocean waves. One of the efforts thatcan be done in understanding the characteristics of ocean waves is to use a simulator of ocean waves. In this study, a laboratory scale ocean wave simulator was designed. This simulator is equipped with a wave generator system in the form of a DC motor and was developed with a size of 120 cm x 25 cm x 20 cm. The simulator performance test was carried out by varying the speed of theDC motor and the depth of the water to determine the effect on the parameters of the waves formed. The wave parameters measured are the height and the wavelength. The results show that the designed ocean wave simulator can produce waves that resemble a sinosuidal curve. The measured wave height on the simulator is directly proportional to the water depth. While the wavelengthis inversely proportional to the speed of the DC motor.Abstrak: Pemahaman mengenai karakteristik dan parameter gelombang laut dapat membantu dalam memahami dan mengembangkan potensi gelombang laut. Salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan dalam memahami karakteristik gelombang laut adalah dengan memanfaatkan simulator gelombang laut. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan rancang bangun simulator gelombang laut skala laboratorium. Simulator ini dilengkapi dengan sistem pembangkit gelombang berupa motor DC dan dikembangkan dengan ukuran 120 cm x 25 cm x 20 cm. Pengujian performa simulator dilakukan dengan memvariasikan kecepatan motor DC dan kedalaman air untuk mengetahui pengaruhnya terhadap parameter gelombang yang terbentuk. Parameter gelombang yang diukur adalah tinggi dan panjang gelombang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan simulator gelombang laut yang dirancang dapat menghasilkan gelombang yang menyerupai kurva sinosuidal. Tinggi gelombang yang terukur pada simulator berbanding lurus dengan kedalaman air. Sedangkan panjang gelombangnya berbanding terbalik dengan kecepatan motor DC.
Indonesia merupakan negara agraris yang mayoritas dari penduduknya berprofesi sebagai petani. Faktor utama dalam bidang pertanian berkaitan dengan kualitas tanah. Kualitas dari tanaman dapat dipengaruhi oleh beberapa parameter salah satunya pH (tingkat asam dan basa). Pada beberapa kasus, pengukuran pH tanah dilakukan dengan memanfaatkan kertas lakmus. Di sisi lain, sistem sensor dan instrumentasi telah berkembang sehingga memungkinkan dilakukan penelitian mengenai digitalisasi pengukuran pH tanah. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, maka dilakukan desain bangun pH tanah digital berbasis mikrokontroller. Perancangan sistem elektronik menggunakan beberapa komponen yaitu LED, LCD, buzzer dan sensor pH. Komponen tersebut dihubungkan dengan mikrokontroller sesuai perintah yang diinginkan. Ketika input masukan dari sensor terbaca maka LED, buzzer, dan LCD memberikan respon berupa cahaya, bunyi dan tampilan nilai output. Untuk mengetahui tingkat akurasi dari alat yang dibuat, dilakukan kalibrasi sensor pH tanah dengan membandingkan nilai keluaran pH standar terhadap nilai tegangan ADC (Analog Digital to Converter) pada sensor. Selanjutnya, dilakukan pengambilan data dengan sampel yang berbeda. Apabila tanah bersifat asam, LED 1 dan buzzer akan hidup serta berlaku sebaliknya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan alat dapat mengukur pH pada range 3,5 -7 dengan error 2,40%, untuk pH >8 error yang dihasilkan cukup besar sehingga alat ini cocok mengukur pH tanah dengan range <8.
