Subsoiling can break the compacted hardpan without turning or mixing soil layers. It has significant advantages in improving soil structure, promoting rainwater infiltration, and increasing air permeability of soil. The soil compacted hardpan will not be completely broken and more power consumption will be generated unless the desired tillage depth is obtained. However, due to uneven surface between and within each row of subsoiling shovel in the field, the existing adjustment methods, adjusting via the lifting device of the whole machine or a group of tillage components, cannot ensure each subsoiling shovel avoiding undesired tillage depth. Therefore, a tillage depth monitoring and control system for the independent adjustment of each subsoiling shovel was developed, and the methods of detecting, adjusting, displaying, and recording tillage depth were described. Field experiments were conducted to evaluate detecting accuracy, stability of tillage depth, transient response time, and advantages. The results showed that the value obtained by sensor differed from manual measurement at the speed of 3 km/h, 4 km/h, and 5 km/h averagely by 8.28%. The mean value of the coefficient of the tillage depth stability at three speeds were all greater than 94%. The mean transient response time was 0.6 s. The standard deviation of tillage depth obtained under system control was 38.31, which was less than the 51.52 obtained by only adjusting on the three-point suspension. The subsoiler equipped with this system was capable of obtaining a desired tillage depth of each subsoiling shovel in every second.

Safety and comfort are needs for all human beings. Meanwhile, the crime rate is increasing. Therefore, a remote monitoring and control system is needed. This research offers a home monitoring and control system with a client-server model using NodeMCUESP-12E. The equipment design can be used to monitor the condition of the house through sensors installed in each room. Home monitoring includes motion detection using a motion sensor, detection of the condition of the house door using a magnetic sensor, and remote door locking using a solenoid. The system can be operated offline or online using an Android smart phone. The communication model used for client-server over the transport layer protocol is User Datagram Protocol (UDP), so the server can communicate simultaneously on two clients. The fastest average response time is 0.653 seconds. The communication model between a server and a cloud uses Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) so that the data sent or received by the server through the internet is more reliable. The cloud used is Firebase which has real-time database facilities and historical data. When online, sensor response time average is the fastest on an android at 3.898 seconds, response time control is the fastest average on a client at 7.157 seconds and the control response time average is the fastest on an android at 9.495 seconds. ABSTRAK: Keselamatan dan keselesaan merupakan keperluan penting untuk manusia. Sementara itu kadar jenayah pula kian meningkat. Oleh itu, kita perlu pemantauan jarak jauh dan sistem kawalan. Kajian ini merupakan sistem kawalan dan pemantauan rumah dengan model pelanggan-pelayan menggunakan NodeMCUESP-12E. Peralatan yang dibina boleh digunakan bagi mengawasi keadaan rumah melalui sensor yang dipasang dalam setiap bilik. Pemantauan rumah adalah termasuk pengesan gerakan menggunakan sensor gerakan, pengesan keadaan pintu rumah menggunakan sensor magnet, dan pengunci pintu jarak jauh menggunakan solenoid. Sistem ini boleh digunakan secara luar atau dalam talian menggunakan telefon pintar Android. Model komunikasi yang digunakan pada pelanggan-pelayan menggunakan protokol lapisan pengangkutan adalah Protokol Datagram Pengguna (UDP), oleh itu pelayan dapat berkomunikasi secara terus dengan dua pelanggan pada purata masa respon terlaju sebanyak 0.653 saat. Model komunikasi antara pelayan dan awan adalah menggunakan Protokol Kawalan Penghantaran (TCP), dengan harapan data dapat dihantar dan diterima oleh pelayan melalui internet dengan lebih kebolehpercayaan. Awan yang digunakan adalah Firebase yang mempunyai kelengkapan pengkalan data waktu nyata dan data sejarah. Melalui keadaan dalam talian, purata masa sensor bertindak balas adalah paling laju pada Android sebanyak 3.898 saat, purata kelajuan kawalan masa bertindak balas pada pelanggan adalah 7.157 saat dan purata masa kawalan tindak balas adalah paling laju pada Android sebanyak 9.495 saat.

The article renders the special features of the design of a tracked mobile robot (MR) for moving over inclined ferromagnetic surfaces while performing specified technological operations. There is conducted a synthesis of the functional structure and selective technological parameters (such as control coordinates) of the computerized monitoring and control system (CMCS) intended for use with this MR. Application of the CMCS with the proposed functional structure allows substantially increasing the accuracy of the MR monitoring and control, which in turn provides for a considerable enhancement in the quality and economic efficiency of the operations on processing of large ferromagnetic surfaces.
