Nowadays an automotive industry steadily has been growing and playing a major role on economy development for many years. The crash box is one of the most important parts for safety but it was found that the crash boxes manufactured domestically are not met international standard requirements. This is due to process and material limitation. This process for automotive safety test requires high budget and there is unclear approach for specific test. Therefore a study of crash boxes referred to energy absorption project was conducted as an alternative choice of testing. Regarding to the problems as addressed above this project was aimed to design and test crash boxes which come in various structures; simple type corrugated type and honeycomb type of crash box. In addition it was also emphasized in studying energy absorption behavior and physical deformation of crash boxes after dynamic and static energy being applied. Numeric simulation and static test methodology of front collision were applied for these tests in reference to USA NCAP standard for automobile collision test. Testing all types of crash boxes indicated that the corrugated type was able to absorb energy at 2.8% and 5.9% higher than honeycomb type and rectangular type respectively. This is capable to pick up stress and strain continually and effecting to more energy absorb than another type. Additionally this corrugated structure is feasible and suitable for crash box design in automotive manufacturing.

Electronic load is an importance part of power supplies testing system. For non-electronic load type it is required to replace a resister with a new one leading to complicated working procedure. The modern power electronic technology is employ to solve this problem. The electronic load can vary the value following user command. Imported electronic load is costly leading Thailand to have a balance of trade deficit. This article proposes design and implement of an economical cost 30V 1 k DC-Electronic Load controlled by Microcontroller. The tested results can confirm the validity of this proposed electronic load

The feasibility of wastewater treatment sludge from the power plant was studied as cement substituted material. The sludge were used as the air dried sample and the oven dried sludge at 300o C. Their properties then the optimum ratio of cement substituted portion for cement block were determined. In the control set; cement sand and water ratio were 1 2.75 and 0.825 (w/w) respectively while the treatment set sludge replacing were varied at 10 20 and 30 %. The blocks were produced and cured in tap water for 7 14 and 28 days and tested their compressive strength. The leaching ability of heavy metals namely Cd Cr Cu and Pb were determined by Waste Extraction Test or WET (according to the standard from the Notification of Ministry of Industry A.D. 2005) and Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure; TCLP (US EPA method 1311). The results showed that the solution from cement block curing both of control set treatment block had basicidic pH range 11 – 12 and caused reduction of the heavy metal solubility. The solution conductivity range 5 - 7 mS/cm. The 10% dried sludge cement blocks were the suitable ratio compared with the control set which the maximum compressive strength at 28th day was 253.81 Kg/cm2 and 4.73 % moisture. All metal leaching abilities were less than those Notification and US EPA standard. Those optimum ratios 10 % can be applied to produce cement pot.

The aim of this research was to develop the crispy pineapple formula (pineapple salt all purpose flour and glycerin) by using mixture design. Ingredients factor were all purpose flour (10-15% of pineapple) and glycerin (0-5% of pineapple) to form a pineapple patty before drying at 180 oC for 2 min. The sensory result found that the optimum formula contains of pineapple salt and 15 % all purpose flour was the most like score. Then developed with the factors of the temperature and time used CCD bring analyst the color and the sensory test using a sample of 30. The result found that showed the optimum at 174 oC for 103 sec. Consumer tests were done with 200 pineapple preferred consumer show that the average like is 3.72 point (5 point) with a height acceptable scored (88.0%).

This research report is manipulated that summarized the moment of research project in the subject of “The optimal image processing for paddy studies: Variety classification and rice kernel damage inspection”. This project had been take time in 12 mounts. We focused on rice variety classification and rice kernel damage inspection. We also investigated the apparent friction of rice surface. Results showed that area and size were the quantities that have the potential to classify rice variety and also rice kernel damage inspection. In addition we also found that geometric mean diameter performed characteristic to apparent friction of rice surface in kerosene. These results have the potential to be the basis information in terms of developing instrument for quality control and variety classification of cereal.
