The purpose of this study is to fabricate a robot that can detect combustible and toxic gases that are harmful to the human body. The design of the robot aims to limit the chances of exposure of humans from hazardous gases. The omnidirectional robot is designed to have the mobility to traverse on confined and cramped spaces such as ducts and pipes where gas leakages can occur. This study consists of designing, programming, GUI development, fabrication, approximation of gas concentrations, preliminary tests, sensor tests, and actual tests. The robot is based on existing designs and mecanum wheels are used for the omnidirectional function. The robot is programmed using Arduino microcontroller for motor control and sensor readings. For gas detection, gas sensors such as MQ3, MQ7 and MQ9 were used. The robot was tested based on its mobility and capability in determining specific gas concentrations. There are six gases that the robot can detect namely alcohol, benzene, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, methane, and LPG. Results showed that the omnidirectional feature of the robot allows it to traverse obstacles with ease. In addition, the developed robot shown its capability in detecting gas concentrations using preliminary and actual tests. The actual tests were conducted on a commercial building, basement parking, and printing company.","PeriodicalId":129868,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 13th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115292053","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}

Another major issue is the lack of electricity in the Philippines, particularly in the province. The Philippines’ plan for full electrification of all households becomes difficult due to its topography, and geography. This study aims to provide an alternative solution for both issues by innovating through Waste-to-Energy. Waste-to-Energy is one of the alternative solutions in response to the worsening municipal solid waste in the world and source of electrical energy. A small-scaled incinerator was built for an alternative solid waste management machine and micro-electricity supply for rural communities. Instead of burning the waste or dumping it in the landfills, it will be processed in the prototype to lessen its environmental impact. This is possible using air filter bags and crushed mussels, which lessen the air pollution produced during the incineration process of the waste as it builds up heat. The thermoelectric converter would absorb the build-up heat, convert heat to electricity, and store in a battery. The findings demonstrated that it is possible to generate up to 0.317 kW of electricity from 8 kilograms of waste using thermoelectric converters. This quantity can produce electricity for several households in municipal rural areas.","PeriodicalId":129868,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 13th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127280368","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 the Philippines however, access to the internet continues to be difficult for many. The country’s Department of Information and Communications Technology created the Free WiFi For All (FW4A) project to provide free WiFi to the public at thousands of sites across the country. This paper aims to evaluate five of these sites–health centers located in Nangka, Tumana, Parang, Marikina Heights and Sto. Niño in Marikina City–by evaluating the performance of the WiFi network from the perspective of the end users. A mobile application was developed which users may use to collect received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurements and bandwidth tests when they are connected to FW4A sites. The RSSI data collected was used to visualize the signal strength and coverage of the WiFi network on a map, which is viewable on a web app. The bandwidth tests were used to determine whether the sites reached the minimum download speed requirement for FW4A sites. Based on the results recorded by the mobile application, the average range of the signal for the five sites is approximately a 55.2 m by 29.2 m area. Based on the results of the bandwidth measurement tool used, three of the sites, specifically the Nangka, Tumana and Marikina Heights sites, were able to fulfill the 2 Mb/s requirement for Free WiFi For All sites. Meanwhile, the remaining two sites, which were at Parang and Sto. Niño, were unable to fulfill the requirement.","PeriodicalId":129868,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 13th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"659 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121996856","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}

However, the progress in implementing and developing this piezoelectric component in energy harvesting remains to be utilized. While solar films are widely employed, applications in the Philippine residential community are not widely practiced. In this paper, nine PVDF piezoelectric films were connected in parallel, which produced a maximum output of 16.5mW in controlled environment testing and 16.6mW in uncontrolled environment testing at a wind speed of 2.3m/s. To be able to make use of the harvested energy, three solar films were combined in the system to produce a hybrid energy harvester implemented into a 3D-printed artificial plant. Combining the piezoelectric and solar energy systems produced a constant 3.6V output in the terminals and a maximum of 150mW. This hybrid plant-shaped energy harvester provides a significant contribution to the development of an economical and reliable renewable energy that can be an additional source for typical small family residential house, streetlights, vehicles, or other loads exposed in wind and sunlight; and in utilizing the applications of the PVDF piezoelectric and solar film.","PeriodicalId":129868,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 13th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128265212","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}

SEEP/W can also model simple saturated steady-state problems as well as complicated saturated/unsaturated transient analysis. This study aims to determine the effects of the different types of isotropic soils on the seepage and exit gradient of homogeneous earth dams through using seepage analysis simulation. A total of sixty simulations were performed to determine the effects of each six different types of isotropic soil, including gravel, silt, silty sand, silty clay, clay and sand, on the seepage and exit gradient of homogeneous earth dams. In the simulation data, the highest value of the exit gradient is from gravel, which is 0.50003672, while the lowest value is from clay, with a value of 0.500029. In seepage flux, gravel and clay soil have the highest and lowest values, with a minimum and maximum value of $3.00E-04m^{3}/s$ and $3.00 E-02 m^{3}/s$ for gravel and $1.00 E-11 m^{3}/s$ and $4.70 E-09 m^{3}/s$ for clay,, respectively. The computed r-value is 0.623 and the tabular value is 0.2546766 with 58 degrees of freedom and a 0.05 level of significance. Due to the r-value of 0.623, which is in between the r-values of 1.0 and 0.5, the seepage and exit gradient have a Positive Relationship in terms of Pearson's Correlation Method. Based on this data, it is highly recommended to use clay soil for designing embankment dams as it has low value for both seepage and exit gradient which could prevent piping. While gravel should be avoided among the six types of soil that were simulated since it has a high value for both seepage and exit gradient, making it more susceptible to piping which is one of the major causes of dam failure.","PeriodicalId":129868,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 13th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129739900","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}

These data are usually measured over a specific period at evenly spaced intervals, and only a few have analyzed time series on unevenly spaced time series intervals. Such uneven time series are natural phenomena like storms, earthquakes, and tsunamis. The researchers used five randomly generated, unevenly spaced time series datasets with five different data averages as an input to a convolutional reconstruction autoencoder algorithm to determine its reconstruction performance using such type of time series. At the end of the study, the algorithm yielded an average mean absolute error of 0.216 with 0.16 as the lowest mean absolute error and 0.26 as the highest mean absolute error value. Therefore, the researchers can conclude that a convolutional reconstruction autoencoder algorithm can be used with unevenly spaced time series data. However, it is not without drawbacks, as the algorithm could not properly reconstruct the later parts of the dataset. Furthermore, the algorithm’s performance can be improved by extending its training period through more dataset entries.","PeriodicalId":129868,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 13th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management (HNICEM)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130512801","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}

One way to ensure the quality gathering of data is to identify the best material that can be used for its trailer as it will undergo chaotic movements when used in uneven terrain. Material selection is a vital part of any design process and product development. Thus, this study contributes to the development of an underground imaging system body trailer by using Analytical Hierarchical Process in material selection. AHP technique was employed in structuring multi-criteria decision-making problems by weighting and ranking criteria such as mechanical properties, material quality characteristics, and manufacturing considerations in respect to their corresponding sub-criteria and alternatives. Mild carbon steel, galvanized iron, polypropylene, and cold-rolled steel are the materials assigned as alternatives. Survey form containing the pairwise comparison competing criteria, sub-criteria, and alternatives were given to target respondents as decision makers. Furthermore, the utilized AHP calculator was used for all the computations for consistency analysis. Based on the results, mild carbon steel is the most suitable material to be used as the core material in the fabrication of the underground imaging trailer body.
