Landmark 81 has a total of 81 floors, 461 m high. This is the tallest building in Vietnam, located in the center of Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City. The maintenance and technical maintenance of the entire building is performed daily by the management team and staff. Anh Vu – the technical manager of the Landmark 81 building, said that the technical team often had quick briefings early in the morning to determine the arising work to do during the day. At the same time, the technical status of the building, the work done in the previous day must be reported in detail. After that, the group of employees moved to the 79th floor of the building. This is the highest floor accessible by elevator. After that, people will walk up to the 80th and 81st floors (top floor) of the building to do their assigned work. Check the building’s power supply system. All electrical specifications must ensure safety conditions in accordance with regulations. Technical staff use specialized temperature gauges to check the heat at conductor structures and power-using equipment on the 80th floor. This is a routine job to promptly detect problems and limit problems. minimize the risk of accidental fire or explosion. A group of workers periodically maintain the glass. To do this, the worker must move on specialized rigs, in turn, check all the glass panes. The outer glass of the building is reinforced with special materials, ensuring safety and durability. Workers check a building’s cooling system. The staff checks the operating parameters of the elevator. “The building is tall, the elevator is an indispensable element in the operation. We understand this, so we should pay attention to the daily maintenance and technical maintenance, so that the elevator does not cause problems,” said Mr. Vu. to speak. The elevator of Landmark 81 building has a pulling force of 12,500 kg, each car has a load of 2,000 kg, a speed of 5m/s – is one of the fastest elevators in Vietnam. “Working on high-rise buildings requires us to have good health and overcome specific limitations. For example, when it comes to glass maintenance, every worker must overcome fear, focus on work and comply with all protection principles to ensure safety,” said Quang Trung, a technical staff member.

Wax coconut, a famous specialty of Tra Vinh province. Photo: MD. The Board of Evaluation and Acceptance of Scientific and Technological Tasks of Tra Vinh Province has just accepted the topic “Design and manufacture of equipment to determine the percentage of wax in coconuts” by Dr. Nguyen Minh Hoa, Tra Vinh University as the chair. Wax coconut is a famous specialty of Tra Vinh province. However, determining the percentage of wax in coconuts has long depended on the experience of gardeners. The use of Deep Learning classification equipment helps gardeners determine the percentage of wax in coconuts with the correct probability of up to 95%, determine the percentage of solid wax and liquid wax with 80% probability, should be graded by the council. rather. Mr. Luu Van Nhan, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Trade of Tra Vinh province, said that in the past to choose wax coconuts, gardeners’ experience was to shake, but often not absolutely accurate. Nhan said, while still working in Cau Ke, a delegation of the National Assembly ordered 50 waxed coconuts, he asked a reputable agent to collect them. But after asking, I found out that there are many fruits like normal dried coconut. Council for acceptance of coconut wax measuring equipment. Photo: Minh Dam. “In such cases, I believe the gardener is not intentional but just mistaken. Therefore, determining the percentage of waxy coconuts is extremely meaningful to avoid the fact that a 150,000 VND waxed coconut turns into a coconut. dry 10,000 VND. I find this research very close to the actual situation and has high practical application significance”, Mr. Nhan emphasized. According to Mr. Nhan, when applying this device, large-scale farmers, businesses that buy raw wax coconuts, and trading facilities will have more favorable conditions in business, especially the There is no doubt between the buyer and the seller. Now Mr. Nhan wants to buy 50 waxed coconuts, just put it in the machine will have results, from that result the price negotiation will be very close to reality. But Mr. Quick said that, to move towards commercialization, the research team’s product should be improved as compactly as possible for easy portability. The meter for measuring the percentage of wax in coconuts works at the acceptance test of the research topic. According to Dr. Nguyen Minh Hoa, Vice Rector of Tra Vinh University, the knowledge economy is developing in line with the trend of industrial revolution 4.0, higher education institutions play a more important role to find new knowledge, transmit spread knowledge and apply that knowledge through scientific research activities and technology transfer into practice. At the same time, schools need to update the latest research from these scientific research results and transfer this technology into teaching to students in order to improve training quality. Because this is a measure for schools in applying knowledge to create practical values ​​for life. At Tra Vinh University, it is clear that 3 basic components including training, scientific research, technology transfer are inseparable, the development trend expands over time to meet the requirements of educational innovation. university education.

Dr. Nguyen Minh Hoa shared: “Over the years, Tra Vinh University has promoted applied research and technology transfer activities among lecturers and students. In particular, focus on strongly developing the invention space among students and lecturers – makerspace, developing student research groups – IEEE Student Chapter at Tra Vinh University, developing Lab – invention space for students students, lecturers, student cooperative models, student farmer associations, and policies to encourage the incubation of start-up ideas, applied scientific research and technology transfer to serve the community. “. In the coming time, Tra Vinh University will continue to prioritize the implementation of projects to deploy research products with commercial potential, focusing on investing in strong research directions, prioritizing community service and closely associated with businesses, departments inside and outside the province in ordering scientific research and technology transfer.

The group consists of eight first-year students: Chu Minh Nhan, Cao Khanh Gia Hy, Nguyen The Binh, Ho Huynh Gia Bao, Tran Duy Khang, Nguyen Duy, Ngo Ha Gia Bao and Mai Hoang Kim Son. The group made the fabrication under the guidance of three lecturers, Prof. Dr. Quan Thanh Tho (Deputy Dean of Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering), Dr. Le Thanh Long (lecturer of Faculty of Mechanical Engineering) and Dr. Vo Thanh Hang (Deputy Head of Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering). lecturer in the Department of Environment and Natural Resources). A group of students worked hard together to make a thermometer Dr. Vo Thanh Hang (female), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Quan Thanh Tho (shirt) and a group of students next to an automatic body temperature measuring device. Photo: NTCC Chu Minh Nhan, a member of the group, said that the group is currently completing a number of features such as the data entry table, the frame structure… according to the suggestions of the teachers and teachers. It is expected that in the middle or the end of June 2021, the group will complete the apparatus and put it into use at the school’s entrances. Compared with other machines on the market, the advantage of IoT-integrated automatic body temperature and hand washing machine is that it is programmed with IoT to recognize faces (check student IDs and faces) to remind you to wear a mask. voice. The device will automatically measure the body temperature and warn when the body temperature exceeds the normal range. Update data on user information and temperature of use, record information, when the user is using the machine… The machine also supports automatic hand washing with a sufficient amount of antiseptic solution. In particular, the data (temperature measurement results, entrance time, facial recognition images) will be stored and transmitted to the central server. Medical staff will easily access and retrieve data for control and tracing of suspected COVID-19 cases. Dr. Thanh Hang, instructor, said that the thermometer is a product developed by a community project and entered the top 10 of the soft skills class of the school’s international training program. After that, students continued to research and develop machine manufacturing, combined with smart internet usage features, to improve usage efficiency. According to Dr. Thanh Hang, the group has now registered a student scientific research project (start-up program) and manufactured according to the university’s order to use in the prevention of COVID-19 at the University of Science and Technology.

According to our records, the device is also capable of recognizing users wearing glasses, hats and masks. After only about a second directly looking at the device, the screen will show the current body temperature of the viewer. Because of these convenient features, the use of the device in checking body temperature not only shortens the time for people to come to the polls, but also minimizes close contact, meeting the requirements of prevention and control. disease is at its highest. Accordingly, the two machines are located at two polling stations, including the dormitory of the University of Transport of Ho Chi Minh City (An Khanh ward) and the Executive Board of Quarter 4 (Binh Trung Dong ward). After being used in checking the body temperature of voters participating in the festival, Digital World Company donated both devices to the People’s Committee of Binh Trung Dong Ward and the People’s Committee of An Khanh Ward for continued use in screening work. body temperature for people coming to do administrative procedures. Some pictures of voters coming to the polls using modern body temperature monitors at two polling stations in An Khanh and Binh Trung Dong wards:

Accordingly, this time, Quang Nam urgently provides medical equipment and supplies for the prevention and control of Covid-19 disease to Se Kong province (Laos), including 2 ventilators, 10 body temperature monitors, 50,000 masks. cloth masks and medical masks, 500 anti-epidemic costumes, 100 bottles of quick antiseptic solution and many chlorine solutions, mouthwash… the total support value is more than 530 million. Quang Nam province hands over medical supplies for the prevention of Covid-19 to Se Kong province (Laos). Previously, the Border Guard of Quang Nam province provided rice, food, food, medical supplies and many other equipment to serve the prevention and control of the Covid-19 epidemic such as body temperature monitors, bottles, etc. spray disinfectant, antiseptic solution, gloves and some other equipment worth more than 450 million VND to the government, armed forces and people of Sekong province of your country. Mr. Le Van Dung, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Quang Nam Provincial Party Committee said: “The leaders of Quang Nam province have connected the online conference line with Sekong province, Laos to encourage and share your difficulties. At the same time, Quang Nam has spent a source of funding to support masks, antiseptic water and other medical tools to serve your epidemic prevention work. The Standing Board of the Quang Nam Provincial Party Committee agreed to budget to support you with nearly 3 billion VND and other equipment and rice to support your country in difficulty during this period of fighting the Covid-19 epidemic.

Users only take 10 seconds to breathe into the machine and less than 2 minutes later have COVID-19 results. Photo: Straits Times According to the Singapore Straits Times, the device will ensure the safety of movement and inspection at large-scale events. Previously, local health technology company Silver Factory worked with the National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID), Changi Airport and security company Certis to develop the device. Silver Factory’s ventilator, called TracieX, is proven to give results nearly as accurate as a PCR test, which takes only about 2 minutes. Compared with PCR test, the sensitivity rate of TracieX ventilator is above 95% and its specificity is above 99%. Device sensitivity is the ability to confirm which test samples are positive, while specificity is used to confirm a negative. The price for a test with this device is only 20 USD (about 460,000 VND). The device has been tested at NCID, Changi and Certis airport terminals with over 400 participants. During a test at Changi Airport last month, passengers were randomly selected and asked to voluntarily provide breathing samples. “Testing with a ventilator will be less invasive, effective and quick to give results. From there, creating favorable conditions for passengers to fly,” said Mr. Abert Lim – Vice President in charge of passenger experience of Changi Airport Group – said. Silver Factory Technology’s TracieX ventilator uses a sensor chip to identify molecular traces in the breath of patients with COVID-19. Medical staff take a breath sample and put it into the processing device to read the results. Photo: Straits Times Disposable breathing tubes with control features keep infectious material sealed, thus preventing direct contact of these materials with others, such as healthcare workers. The user will breathe into the device for 10 seconds. The device is then inserted into a portable reader for analysis and results. The process is completed in less than 2 minutes. Silver Factory is currently working with Enterprise Singapore under the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry with the ambition to bring this technology overseas.
