Within the heritage field, the application of strain gauges on wood surfaces is a little-explored but inexpensive and effective method to analyse the environmental appropriateness of rooms for the wooden heritage collections they contain. This contribution proposes a wood sensor connected to a data logger to identify short moments with an elevated risk of harm. Two experiments were performed to obtain insights pertaining to the applicability of wood sensors to evaluate preservation conditions. (1) The representativeness of strain gauges on dummies was tested for their use in evaluating the preservation conditions of a range of wooden objects exposed to the same environment. For this, three situations were mimicked: a bare wood surface, a wood surface covered with a preparation layer, and a wood surface covered with a preparation and varnish layer. (2) The usability of strain gauges to monitor the wood behaviour in real-time measurements was tested with a monitoring campaign of almost two years in a church where a new heating system was installed. The results of both experiments are promising, and the authors encourage a broader application of strain gauges in the heritage field.

AbstractLaser engraving of photographs on wood surfaces is a challenging task. To optimize the outcome and production quality it is necessary to control every aspect of the laser engraving process. Most of the production machines and technologies overall are mainly focused on laser power control. However, with other systems and deeper knowledge of the wood characteristics it is possible to achieve even better quality. This paper deals with enlarging the number of achievable shades of burned wood and its optimization. A calibration system was developed to control colour shades of engraved wood with a combination of laser power and optic focus. With this approach it is possible to widen achievable palette of engraved shades by continuous control of chemical processes of laser and wood interaction. The production is divided into wood burning and wood carbonization by variation of laser beam focus.

The magnetron sputtering method was used to deposit nano-Al film on the wood surface of Pinus sylvestris L. var. mongholica Litv., and the material structure, electrical conductivity, mechanical properties and wetting properties were tested and characterized. When the sputtering time was 60 min, the average cross-grain sheet resistance of metallized wood was 695.9 mΩ, and the average along-grain sheet resistance was 227.2 mΩ. Load displacement decreased by more than 88%,elastic modulus increased by 49.2 times, hardness increased by 46 times andsurface hydrophobic angle was close to 130°. The grain size of the Al film on the wood surface was presented as nanoparticles, and the arrangement was uniform and dense. The results indicate that without any burden on the environment, the use of magnetron sputtering can quickly and efficiently achieve Al metallization on wood surfaces, so that the wood surface can obtain conductivity and hydrophobic properties. The elastic modulus and hardness of the wood surface were improved, the mechanical properties of the wood were effectively improved and the functional improvement of the wood was realized. This study provides a feasible method and basis for the study of the simple, efficient and pollution-free modification of wood.

Pengaturan temperatur (atau besaran fisis lain) banyak dijumpai di lapangan sebagai pengondisi supaya system bekerja pada parameter ukur yang telah ditetapkan. Pengaturan besaran fisis bisa dilakukan dengan mendapatkan nilai dari parameter ukur dengan menggunakan sensor dan diolah sehingga hasil yang diperoleh tersebut dapat dipergunakan untuk mengontrol besaran yang diinginkan melalui aktuator. Pada artikel ini dibuat suatu sistem yang berfungsi sebagai data logger dan pengontrol temperatur pada pemanas air (heater) secara otomatis dengan menggunakan mikrokontroler dan LabVIEW sebagai pengolah dan penyajian datanya. Besaran fisis temperatur diperoleh dengan menggunakan sensor LM35. Kemudian LabVIEW dan mikrokontroler akan berkomunikasi untuk pengambilan data sehingga data temperatur tersebut bisa ditampilkan dalam bentuk grafik secara real time. Data ini kemudian diproses oleh LabVIEW untuk dibandingkan dengan nilai temperatur yang dikehendaki sehingga LabVIEW akan mengontrol pemanas melalui sebuah relay sebagai aktuatornya. Relay akan ON pada saat temperatur berada di bawah batas bawah temperatur yang diset sebelumnya dan akan OFF apabila temperatur lebih tinggi daripada batas atas temperatur yang telah diset sebelumnya. Sehingga temperatur pemanas akan stabil pada temperatur yang dikehendaki.

Museums and galleries house increasingly large collections of objects and contemporary art made of plastic materials, many of which undergo rapid material change. The main degradation processes of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) are elimination of HCl and plasticizer migration or leaching. This results in visible discolouration, stickiness and cracking. Degradation is known to be a multi-stage process that includes HCl elimination, formation of conjugated polyenes and cross-linking. Elimination of HCl begins due to structural irregularities (allylic and tertiary chlorides) and results in the formation of polyenes. When at least 7 conjugated double bonds are present, discolouration of PVC becomes visible. Non-invasive techniques, such as IR and Raman spectroscopy are used for polymer identification and plasticizer quantification. Plasticizer degradation and particularly the late stages of PVC degradation can be investigated using SEC, GC-MS, TGA and DSC. Studies in heritage collections have revealed that, apart from HCl, PVC objects emit 2-ethylhexanol and other volatile degradation products, however, there is currently no indication that HCl is emitted at usual indoor conditions. There seems to be a general lack of systematic research into PVC degradation at the conditions of storage and display, which could result in the development of dose-response functions and in the development of preventive conservation guidelines for the management of PVC collections.

Motor listrik merupakan salah satu instrumen yang memegang peranan penting dalam mengendalikan pergerakan mesin-mesin produksi di Pabrik Kelapa Sawit (PKS). Pada PKS Sungai Bengkal Jambi, proses penggantian atau rekondisi sebuah motor listrik dengan daya 60 HP akibat overheat (terbakar) memerlukan waktu lebih dari 1 (satu) bulan. Untuk menanggulangi hal tersebut, dirancang suatu sistem kontrol tertutup yang terdiri dari sensor, indikator, kontroler, dan aktuator. Sistem dibuat dengan menggunakan sensor IC LM35 untuk mendeteksi temperatur bagian dalam motor listrik. Informasi temperatur dari sensor tersebut diterima dan diolah oleh mikrokontroler yang diprogram untuk merespon perubahan temperatur dan memberikan feedback dengan melakukan trip pada motor listrik saat temperatur operasi melebihi set point yang telah ditentukan. Setelah loop selesai, sistem akan mengaktifkan kembali motor listrik saat temperatur operasi sudah kembali normal. Feedback yang diberikan juga digunakan sebagai sistem peringatan dini (early warning system dengan menambahkan lampu indikator dan sirine pada sistem. Selain itu, mikrokontroler diprogram untuk mengkonversi perubahan temperatur dari sensor untuk diolah menjadi keluaran data digital. Semua data tersimpan dalam data logger (perekam data) dan ditampilkan secara langsung pada sevent segment display. Untuk menguji akurasi sistem, telah dilakukan pengambilan data temperatur sebanyak 30 kali melalui data logger. dan didapatkan nilai standar deviasi sebesar 0,77% dengan rentang sebesar 0,71 °C. Perbedaan hasil pengukuran jika dibandingkan dengan Termolaser adalah sebesar 0,013%.
