In consumerism, a large-scale production is done to cope up with people's needs. Currently, automated machines are used to replace human operators in several factories to lessen the mechanical work load of employees. In supermarkets, there is a huge margin of inaccuracy that can be attributed to human error. This includes the possibility of incorrect price, loss of goods and unreliable sorting of goods. Let's also take into account the amount of manpower and labor that goes into the process. The research group's project is an insight into implementing an automated checkout counter and bagging system to reduce the margin of error. The project targets to present a more efficient checkout system in supermarkets by decreasing the amount of manpower. Information on how the automated bagging and checkout counter is built and how it works is presented.","PeriodicalId":104407,"journal":{"name":"2017IEEE 9th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116497839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has prompted various researchers to design, develop and investigate materials to stabilize its growing threat. One of the best known methods is the biological approach of using microorganisms such as microalgae that have higher conversion efficiency as compared to terrestrial plants. Apparently, its full potential has not been achieved due to variations in several cultivation parameters such as temperature and salinity, which have not been well understood in the current experimental studies. The study is conducted in the atomic level to demonstrate the effects of temperature and salinity on the transport processes of carbon dioxide molecules coming from the flue gas to the microalgae lipid membranes using molecular dynamics. The transport process was described through the calculation of free energies of the carbon dioxide molecules across the membrane using the Cavity Insertion Widom method. The resulting free energy profile of the carbon dioxide molecule at different levels of temperature and salinity has shown no significant changes to its mobility in permeating inside the membrane despite changes in the lipid hydrocarbon chain structure. This suggests that microalgae are capable of absorbing carbon dioxide molecules at high temperature and salinity levels.","PeriodicalId":104407,"journal":{"name":"2017IEEE 9th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122614320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It identified the transport-related problems encountered in an urban community in Manila. It selected Zone 54 focusing on Barangay 552 along G. Tuazon Avenue, and Zone 56, Barangay 575, Balic-Balic, Sampaloc, Manila. Convenience sampling was used for choosing household residents. Written questionnaires and informal interviews helped in the collection of data and information regarding the residents' house, experiences and problems encountered. Photo documentation, observations, and field visits were done on areas through transect walk that describe and show location, routes, parking, and different type of vehicles. Secondary sources used include published and unpublished materials, internet articles and photos. The findings reveal that migration leads to the increase in population and change in income is related to one's economic status. It causes acquisition and change of car ownership attributed to environmental risks such as air pollution and heat generated experienced in the said area. These affect other elements which are intricately entwined with each other. The study recommends further investigations and research for the area is continuously developing, growing and evolving.","PeriodicalId":104407,"journal":{"name":"2017IEEE 9th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122833703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, acoustic sensing device was used to record noiseless acoustic signals generated from tapping cocoa pods while on tree. Acoustic data were collected from cocoa pods of two classifications, namely, ripe and unripe. Frequency-domain analysis was used using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) in extracting the spectral characteristics, namely, the first three dominant resonant frequencies, their corresponding amplitudes, and their power spectral densities. Time-domain features particularly the Short-time Energy and Zero-Crossing Rate were also used in this study. The eleven acoustic features of unripe and ripe samples were examined using Scatter plots. From 392 WAV files, 272 were used as training datasets and the remaining were used as testing datasets. The experimental results showed that the combination of the first two dominant resonant frequencies into a feature vector using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier tool gave the maximum classification accuracy. The classification model output was tested and found to correctly classify cocoa ripeness with 95.8% overall accuracy.","PeriodicalId":104407,"journal":{"name":"2017IEEE 9th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128818050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A motorcycle-related accident investigation sometimes lacks accuracy due to some inaccurate evidences. Basically, one example of that is when the accident happens in rural areas where there is no witness. Having this kind of dilemma, the researcher decided to innovate the way of collecting data by developing a Motorcycle Data Logging System with Visual Basic Data Simulation for Accident Analysis. The prototype has two separate devices to be connected to the motorcycle body and a helmet. First is the device connected to the motorcycle, it has a controller module which accept data coming from the sensors (such as hall effect sensor, gyroscope, brake detector, ultrasonic sensors) then processes it and save it to the memory module. The memory module can be plugged out during an investigation and plug into a computer. A Data Logger Application was made to easily present and simulate the data saved on the Secure Digital Card (SD card) for accident analysis. Second is the device attached to the helmet, it has its own controller to process data coming from alcohol detector. A Bluetooth Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) will also be connected to each controller to send processed data to the device attached to the motorcycle. A camera is also added to the helmet; it will record and capture images which can also be used as evidence. After different test on the accuracy of data collected from different sensors, it can be concluded that the prototype is successfully designed and meets the objective of the study.","PeriodicalId":104407,"journal":{"name":"2017IEEE 9th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126280165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Detection of injuries and gait abnormalities has been one of the key applications of gait analysis as it can be implemented in many ways using different methods and a number of available technologies can be used to aid the study. This paper presents kinematic walking gait analysis as a way to establish a normative walking gait database that will serve as reference for clinical applications including the aforementioned abnormality detection, treatment of injuries, and rehabilitation. Moreover, this paper focused on one ethnicity — particularly Filipinos — as the source of test subjects since the target application of the proposed database is for Filipinos. Test subjects that were recruited in the study have no history of any injury or gait abnormality and were divided according to age, gender, and Body Mass Index (BMI). Simulations of hemiplegic and diplegic gait were also performed by imitating and applying braces on the knees of a normal test subject that prevent them from performing a normal gait pattern. Simulated hemiplegic and diplegic subjects yielded a significant difference on spatiotemporal parameters when compared to normal walking gait. Gender related difference on step length and knee flexion/extension were present while no significant difference was observed when BMI was used as basis for comparison. This paper presents a method using Microsoft Kinect V2 in the acquisition of the 25-point skeletal system which is then used for the calculation of kinematic and spatiotemporal parameters needed in the study.","PeriodicalId":104407,"journal":{"name":"2017IEEE 9th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121803004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has been widely used throughout the world in the fields of military, surveillance, agriculture, and construction. One of the main problems in Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAV), typically smaller version of UAV, is its ability to detect and tolerate faults inside the system. In this paper, a Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) will be developed using fuzzy logic and uses battery percentage and degree of ability to hover as the crisp inputs. The fuzzy logic will use five and three membership functions for the Battery Percentage and Degree of Ability to Hover respectively. The output of the controller will be the degree of ability to continue a certain mission. Further studies can include other constraints such as mapping efficiency where neural networks and deep learning can be associated. Thus, making a hybrid system.","PeriodicalId":104407,"journal":{"name":"2017IEEE 9th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"19 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129273375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is necessary since most unprocessed images are hard and sometimes impractical to manipulate. A color machine vision (CMV) system is an application where colors of a certain image is used with vision techniques. Some CMV applications in the industry include inspection, sorting, indication, detection, and measuring. However, CMV has limitations like proper lighting, camera calibration, etc. Due to its limitations, preprocessing techniques are essential to its success. With that, this paper proposed the application of quick color averaging as an image preprocessing technique for CMV applications. Color averaging is the process of changing the color values of the pixels of an image contour to the mean color value of all the pixels in the contour. From the results, this study concluded that color averaging using vision techniques is viable for image preprocessing in machine vision. Recommendations for future studies that may improve the color averaging process were also suggested.","PeriodicalId":104407,"journal":{"name":"2017IEEE 9th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125563315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to solve that problem by creating a system that automatically measures and regulates the pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and ammonia. This study takes advantage of electronic sensors for pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen, while computing the ammonia factor, to allow the user to measure the levels of the said parameters at any given time, process, send the data to a LabVIEW database, and use the data to automatically take corrective action against harmful levels of pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and ammonia while notifying the user through SMS.
