Judul: Peracangan Alat Pencatatan Pemakaian Listrik Digital
Abstrak: Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk merancang sebuah alat pencatatan pemakaian listrik (meteran listrik) digital untuk penggunaan skala kecil (rumah tangga) dengan akurasi yang diperoleh dari hasil pengujian adalah 98%. Meteran listrik ini juga memiliki kemampuan untuk berkomunikasi dalam jaringan karena meteran listrik memiliki fitur device addressing yang memungkinkan pembedaan antara meteran listrik yang satu dengan yang lainya. Selain itu, meteran listrik juga dapat berkomunikasi dengan PC (Personal Computer) melalui komunikasi serial dengan interface RS232 melalui aplikasi software yang telah dibuat dalam penelitian ini. Variabel listrik yang dapat dibaca oleh meteran listrik ini adalah akumulasi pemakaian energy, tegangan RMS, arus RMS, daya aktif, daya reaktif, daya total, faktor daya, dan frekuensi.

Judul: Desain Penetrometer Digital Berbasis Mikrokontroler ATmega 8535
Abstrak: Until recently, most of soil strength measuring instrument still use spring scales penetrometer such as mechanical penetrometer. Mechanical penetrometer was difficult to use and has recording in accuracy because manual reading of spring scales and distance simultaneously. Moreover, mechanical penetrometer need three operator for operation. Therefore, digital penetrometer was developed to solve this problem. Penetrometer digital consists two main components : a electronics components and a mechanical components penetrometer. A mechanical component consists of a handle ring tranducer, penetrometer rod, and cone. Electronic components consists of sensor temperature LM35, strain gage, depth sensor , amplifier, microcontroller ATmega 8535, LCD screen, and battery 9 volts. Methodology use in this research was engineering design based on functional and structural design. Ergonomic of the developed digital penetrometer were condidered based on the Indonesians average anthropometries. Measurement principles the digital penetromter consist of: Compressive force was measured using strain gage sensors mounted on the ring transducer. Shinkage ring transducer strain gage sensor response by the form of the resistance value, because it is too small it takes amplifier, then processed by the microcontroller to be converted into units of kgf. Depth data obtained using ultrasonic sensors ranger. Ultrasonic signal transmission on soil will be reflected and received again by ultrasonic. From measuring the reflection will be further processed by a microcontroller and converted into units of cm. The data read by the LM35 temperature in the form of resistance. After that, change the resistance of the voltage to the microcontroller unit Celsius degree. The third sensor measurement results will be displayed through the LCD and stored in the EMS flash memory. Dimension of the digital penetrometer was 94 cm length, 12 millimeters rod diamater. Penetration of the developed penetrometer was done manually, while measurement of force was done by ring transduser, while depth of penetration was measured by ultrasonic sensor. Result of measurment was displayed on the LCD screen and recorded on EMS data flash memory.

Judul: Sintesis 3-Benzoil-7-hidroksiflavon dari Resorsinol
Abstrak: Flavonoid is the most abundant naturally-occuring polyphenolic compound with C6-C3-C6 carbon skeleton. Flavones is a group of flavonoid having a broad bioactivity spectrum. In this experiment, 3-benzoyl-7-hydoxyflavone was successfully synthesized via 2-steps from resorcinol. In the first step, resorcinol was acetylated with AcOH/ZnCl2 producing resacetophenone with 89% yield. Subsequently, benzoylation and rearrangement of resacetophenone using 2 equivalent of benzoyl chloride and 7 equivalent of K2CO3 in acetone produced 3-benzoyl-7-hydroxyflavone with 62% yield. Synthesis of 3-benzoyl-7-hydroxyflavone from resorcinol provided evidence for new reaction mechanism of flavon formation without Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement proposed by several previous researchers. All products in this study has been characterized spectroscopically.
