In this work, we investigated the thermoelectric properties of SnSe (Tin Selenide) thin films onto SiO2/Si-wafer substrates as prepared by RF (radio frequency) magnetron sputtering technique. The sputtering conditions used base pressure below 5.5 10-4 Pa and working pressure at 0.93 Pa within the Ar atmosphere as a flow rate fixed 40 sccm. The RF sputtering power was applied at 80 W and sputtering time for 30 min. After thin film deposition, as-deposited thin films were annealed by the vacuum annealing method at 300-450 oC. The crystal structure, morphology and film thickness, and atomic composition of SnSe thin film were carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), the field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) techniques, respectively. The thermoelectric properties (electrical resistivity; ρ) and Seebeck coefficient; S) were measured by the ZEM-3 method to calculate the power factor (PF) value. The results showed that the as-deposited thin films had improved the crystallography of SnSe from amorphous to crystalline phases after thin films were annealed at a temperature range of 300-400 oC. At room temperature, the maximum power factor of 0.35 mW m˗1 K˗2 (ρ = 202 mΩ m and S = 165 μV K˗1) could be found to estimate the dimensionless Figure of Merit (ZT) values around 0.44 for annealing thin film sample at 400 oC.
This work developed a biosensor for the measurement of ethanol gas in the air. The biosensors were synthesized by mixing signal layer materials containing SiO2 and polyimide (PI) substrates using the enzyme Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH) and coenzyme Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) as a biosensor. The electrodes were coated on biosensors by DC magnetron sputtering method for test the response performance of the developed biosensors. The ADH/NAD+ was immobilized on the Ag electrode by Glutaric dialaehyde 25 wt. % cross-linking procedure. It was found that, alcohol biosensors can be exhibited sensing ethanol gas at even low concentrations from 300 ppb to very high concentrations up to 1900 ppm, response time 3 s, recovery times 1-2 minutes and good sensitivity. The SiO2 substrate has excellent, which provides significant advantages for wearable electronic device that compact, easy to use and reduce direct contact with alcoholics. The alcohol biosensors can adoption in next generation to other electronic devices, because easy to integrate, such as a module alcohol biosensor with wireless or the fabrication of the RCL circuit. Furthermore, the alcohol biosensors based on SiO2/Ag/ADH, PI/Ag/ADH is artificial intelligence strategy for stable practical wearable electronic devices.
Copper Iodide (CuI) transparent thin films were synthesized by using the as-deposited Cu thin film dip in the Iodine (I-2) solution (1% per 100 cc.) for 15s, 30s, and 60s within the liquid iodination method. The as-deposited Cu thin films on glass slide substrates as used were prepared by a dc magnetron sputtering method from the Cu target. The microstructure, morphology, and thermoelectric properties were studied by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the ZEM-3 method, respectively. The optical property of the film samples was determined from measured transmittance using a UV-visible spectrophotom-eter. The optical bandgap energy is 3.0 eV and the transmittance is around 80-95% for the thin film as dipped 30s. At room temperature, the power factor of Cul thin films were 14.71, 17.49, and 17.48 mu W m(-1) K-2 for as dipped 15s, 30s, and 60s, respectively.
The chemical quality of juices and wine produced from Mamao fruit was evaluated by Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR). The calibration equation was created by the cross-validation method to be si+mulated the accuracy. Statistical values composed of correlation coefficient (R), standard error of cross-validation (SECV) and bias were used. Brix values and acidity values of Mao juice and the Brix, acidity, and alcohol values of Mao wine products were evaluated through the standard and cross-validation relation. It was found that was observed with NIR spectrometer to be absorbed in the same IR wavelength (1450 nm) which indicated that the water is the main composition. Based on FT-NIR analysis, the spectrum latices of juices and wine were revealed in the same range of the absorption bands at 1450 nm and 1940 nm to be confirmed the water composition. Also, the FT-NIR spectra from region 2258-2312 nm in Mao wine product have been predicted to the Ethanol functions.
Constant temperature controlling for the aging of Mao-wine is significant of that quality of wine. In this presentation, the aging tank of the Mao-wine was designed and the intelligent temperature controlling and monitoring systems were carried by using Arduino Mega and ds180b20 temperature sensors. The system can detect the set temperature in the specified range. The principle that was designed is uncomplicated, easy to understand. The result showed that Mao-wine has been matured in aging tank within the temperature controlled around 13 °C. This result was confirmed with the temperature distribution during wine aging as simulated by the finite element method. Note that, this temperature as controlled was suitable into wine aging and reduced time of wine aging to product as same the quality of wine. Therefore, the principle does not require linear control because it has designed the work according to the written algorithm, so it works respectfully can be used in the local enterprises regarding Mao-wine production.

The energy level, density of state, electron contour map, Fermi energy and S were analyzed. The electronic structure show that, the energy gap = 0.68 eV, and the highest of density of state at 22.4 eV. The electron contour map exhibits the highest density of Si atom at HOMO and LUMO. The S exhibits negative value which indicated that n-type thermoelectric material. This calculated imply that the S has dependent on Fermi energy which is decreased with increasing temperature.

The One‐Cycle Control (OCC) has the ability to operate in line disturbance rejection and provide a faster dynamic response. However, when used as a controller in dc−dc converters, it might contribute to steady‐state error. Furthermore, the non−ideal circuit components may cause a duty cycle error due to the error of converter output voltage. We proposed a new technique to address the error in OCC by using the technique of an outer loop filter based on OCC, called Outer Loop Filter for improvement of One‐Cycle Control (OLF−OCC). This technique maintains a constant output voltage, despite power source voltage perturbation and error from the control circuit, such as circuit integrator voltage slope or input voltage offset. Variation results show that the performance of the proposed technique is more effective and reliable than the traditional approach when compared to the experimental state. OLF–OCC performance is discussed in terms of variation of power source voltage or internal disturbance from the control, such as circuit integrator voltage slope or input voltage offset. © 2018 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
