This process, termed the anaerobic filter, is basically a rock-filled bed similar in appearance to an aerobic trickling fil ter. However, the waste is distributed across the bottom of the fil ter. Flow is upward through the bed of rocks so that the filter is submerged completely. Anaerobic microorgan isms accumulate in the void spaces be tween the rocks so that the waste comes in contact with a large active biological mass as it passes through the filter. A high degree of treatment re sults even at nominal waste tempera tures, and the effluent essentially is free of biological solids. Historically, systems have been used to stabilize high strength wastes, primarily composed of the solids produced by aerobic processes and removed from settling tanks. Con ventional processes have re quired long detention times for good waste stabilization and usually have been uneconomical for the treatment of waste containing less than approxi

Sistem dirancang untuk membaca tekanan melalui sensor analog, mengubahnya menjadi data digital dengan ADC 10-bit pada Arduino, lalu mengendalikannya melalui logika ON/OFF untuk aktuator relay dan solenoid berdasarkan batas tekanan yang ditentukan. Proses kalibrasi sensor dilakukan menggunakan metode regresi linear dengan acuan tekanan standar dari alat ukur manual, menghasilkan model koreksi untuk meningkatkan ketepatan pembacaan sensor. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa sebelum kalibrasi, akurasi dan presisi sensor masih mengalami deviasi di beberapa titik, meskipun berada dalam batas toleransi. Setelah regresi diterapkan, tingkat akurasi meningkat hingga di atas 99,9% dan nilai presisi menjadi jauh lebih stabil dengan standar deviasi minimal. Pengujian aktuator menunjukkan bahwa relay dan solenoid dapat aktif secara otomatis dalam rentang tekanan kerja 35–100 PSI, serta mati di luar rentang tersebut, membuktikan bahwa sistem kontrol berfungsi sesuai rancangan. Sistem ini tidak hanya meningkatkan keandalan dan efisiensi pengecatan otomatis, tetapi juga berperan dalam mengurangi risiko paparan bahan kimia, khususnya pada lingkungan kerja yang mengandalkan proses penyemprotan berbasis tekanan.

However, these sensors exhibit several critical issues, including inaccurate readings, failures due to fuel ingress, and high maintenance costs. This research investigated the root causes of these issues and compared ultrasonic sensor performance with capacitance sensors employed in the Boeing 787. Utilizing a combination of direct observation, engineer interviews, and literature review, the study employed Fishbone and 5W analyses to identify the root causes. Key findings revealed that ultrasonic sensor failures stem primarily from adhesive failure in potting seals, leading to fuel ingress and inaccurate readings. Design, material, and environmental factors also significantly impact sensor reliability. Comparative analysis demonstrated a lower reliability rate for ultrasonic sensors (78.61%) compared to capacitance sensors, which maintained 100% reliability over the same aircraft lifespan.

This demonstrates the difficulties with conventional waste management techniques and the significance of appropriate waste segregation in reducing environmental effect. The effective separation of garbage into three categories-dry, metallic, and wet-is the specific goal of this endeavour. The system uses three important sensors­ a moisture sensor, a metallic sensor, and an infrared (IR) sensor-to do this. Every sensor is essential to the detection of the waste that it is designed to detect. The system facilitates proper disposal by automatically opening the corresponding bin when garbage is detected. The integration of the Blink software, which enables easy control of trash separation and disposal using an Android phone, is one noteworthy aspect of this project.

This issue adversely affects both consumers and electricity providers such as PLN. To address this problem, a system titled "Centralized Monitoring and Control Based on Load Characteristics Using the Internet of Things (IoT)" was developed. This system is designed to monitor and control household electrical loads in real time. The system consists of a PZEM-004T sensor for measuring voltage, current, power, energy usage, frequency, and power factor. An Arduino microcontroller processes the sensor data, while an ESP32 module transmits the data to an online database. A relay module is used to control electrical devices remotely.
