Climate change has drastically affected our production patterns, negatively distressing the yearly agricultural produce. A core process in the industry is the drying of biomass. Drying increases the value and extends the shelf life of the agricultural products. However, modern drying technologies are still reliant on fossil fuels. Solar-based drying technologies are needed to counteract the fossil fuel dependence. Other than reduction of fuel consumption, solar dryers are easily adaptable to rural communities with heavy reliance on the drying process. Alternative designs have been proposed to improve the performance of the solar dryers, notably integrating thermal energy storage (TES) systems. A limiting factor, however, is that the performance is constrained to the heating capacity of the TES. Previous study has examined the integration of TES with air recirculation, indicating an improved performance. Further evaluation of the dryer with another biomass is needed to illustrate the adaptability of the hybrid feature. This study, therefore, evaluates the performance of solar drying with TES and air recirculation for mango drying. Comparisons were made with other design combinations as a benchmark. Results reveal that the hybrid solar dryer can reduce the drying time from 7.17 hours to 5.32 hours.

The paper provides a synopsis and analysis of television white space (TVWS), its fundamental aspects, elements, and architectures. This shows disparities between techniques and technologies that may lead to potential gaps for TVWS advanced systems and exploration. TVWS are those unutilized bands that were allocated for television broadcasting. In particular, this can be used for interconnecting wireless users and sensors, especially those in outland areas. This intends to spread the determined system of interrelated devices and networks. The TVWS corresponds to one of the definitive approaches of dynamic spectrum access (DSA), which takes advantage of and adeptly manages the complimentary frequency spectrum for wireless communications. Cognitive radio (CR) in dispersion of DSA’s implementation at the physical, medium access, and control layers offers sophisticated methods for encompassing and interconnecting users or things. Substantially, this work also aims to survey technologies and standards for DSA and collate it with the TVWS approach.

The farmers and vendors in the Philippines classify coconuts through knocking manually either by bare hands or knife as 'mala-uhog', 'mala-kanin' and 'mala-tenga’. The said technique is well-known but yet carries no scientific proof. Thus, the proponents conducted this study to develop a knocking device that automatically classify coconuts by characterizing its maturity according to meat thickness and peak frequency using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm. Sixty coconuts were sampled; each being initially categorized by a ‘mangangatok’ to the stage it belongs using the conventional method. Each were knocked using a knife at a constant distance and then opened right after for the measurement of its meat thickness using a Vernier Caliper. The recorded sounds were then analyzed using FFT Algorithm in OCTAVE. Statistical analysis show that each of the three stages has high correlation between 0.869 and 0.897 in terms of meat thickness versus peak frequency. Results showed that ‘malauhog’ coconuts have peak frequency range of about 200 to 400 Hz, 400 to 600 Hz for ‘malakanin’ and 600 to 800 Hz for ‘malatenga’. From these results, a standalone Arduino-based sound acquisition knocking device was developed. The Sound acquisition system is designed to be portable. Its functionality was tested by sampling 119 random coconuts. Results showed that out of 119 there were 10 errors made by the device, exhibiting 91.6% accuracy. The device has capabilities of classifying maturity stages of coconuts which provides efficiency for vendors and compatibility for consumers with no knowledge in the currently known method.

Human hands are one of the greatest tools used in people’s everyday lives. Its job involves grasping, holding, moving, and manipulating various objects. Thus, losing a hand would greatly reduce one’s ability to work. Kapampangan Development Foundation (KDF) is an organization which provide an assistance to the less fortunate Cabalens of Pampanga; one of these is their prosthesis laboratory. However, KDF can only provide assistance for their lower limb amputees. To solve this problem, a functional prototype prosthetic hand was developed for the transradial amputees. The prosthesis integrated force sensitive resistors, motors, and myoelectric means of control which enable the user in performing activities of daily living (ADL). The accuracy of myo armband in reading myoelectric signals was tested and provided a positive result as the device can properly read myoelectric signals from an amputee. Using a descriptive method, the researchers were able to gather all the needed data in the study. Research instruments such as questionnaires, interviews, and surveys were used in order to gain knowledge regarding the present issues. The overall outcome was a prosthesis that met the initial design requirements and can perform basic hand functionality.

The smart RGB lighting system is a smart lighting system built on a fuzzy logic controller that adjusts the RGB lighting to suit the environment. The concept aims to make lighting systems more efficient in power, and intelligent with the color adjustment from the fuzzy system. This research aims to develop a fuzzy logic controller that aims to control the output RGB light intensity based on the current luminance of the environment and the activity color classification within the room. The membership functions and rules in the system were designed in MATLAB Fuzzy Logic Designer. The system was tested with test inputs into the system.

Vital signs monitoring is a customarily repetitive, tedious part of patient care that nonetheless requires constant measurements and documentations to avert significant adverse consequences. Routinely performed by nurses, measurements of vital signs are recorded at regular intervals for safeguarding patient safety yet some evidence concerning the frequency of noncompliance in vital sign collection as well as the inaccuracy of vital sign measurements is still at large. This paper covered the development of a patient monitoring device using hardware modules such as pulse rate sensor, sphygmomanometer, and body temperature sensor that communicates through wireless technology protocol based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard for synchronous measurements of multiple vital signs such as body temperature, pulse rate, and blood pressure. Physiological data accuracy based from the Modified Early Warning Score was measured by Bland-Altman and Pearson correlation analysis, and user acceptability was inspected using IoT technology trust model with the aid of health professionals and patients from hospitals and diagnostic centers. Vital sign measurements by VITAL APP and health professionals correlated well, and the device was accepted as an important tool in patient monitoring.

Wastes in sugar production are recycled into fiber composites as a material in making ropes. A machine is designed, fabricated and tested to produce a sugarcane composite rope. The machine consists of a twisting quarter, matrix storage, stationary and rotational frame. The waste sugarcane fibers are filled into the feeders in the twisting quarter. As the fibers past through the matrix storage from the twisting quarter, it is mixed with wood glue solution as a matrix. Then, the fiber rope is collected to the bobbin. With an electric motor power rating of one-half horsepower, the machine produces a rope of 60 cm in length per minute with a diameter of 18 mm. The specimens used are sugarcane fibers, abaca fibers, and a composition of both fibers with wood glue solution as a matrix. The specimens were prepared by changing volume fraction and were tested for mechanical properties such as tensile and physical properties such as crystallinity. The composite consisting of 100% volume of sugarcane fibers with wood glue solution (2.1kN), and 67% volume of sugarcane fibers and 33% volume of abaca fibers with wood glue solution (2.1kN) as the maximum tensile strength compared to 100% volume of sugarcane fibers without wood glue solution (2.0kN), and 67% volume of sugarcane fibers and 33% volume of abaca fibers without wood glue solution (2.0kN). The present results would help develop natural fibers.

The focus of this study is to design a vibration energy harvester on a hybrid billboard and poster tarpaulin. Vibration energy is harvested using the vibration produced by the force of the wind on the tarpaulin with the help of piezoelectric generators. Piezoelectric element is mainly composed of crystals, it follows the piezoelectric effect that is when subjected to a mechanical stress or vibration, an electrical potential will be produced from its sides, whereas the potential is proportional to the magnitude of the force, and vice versa, whereas when an electrical potential is applied, it will create a mechanical stress or vibration. A microcontroller using an Arduino with a Do-It-Yourself SD Card Logging Shield will be used as a data logger and as a programmed controller for the hybrid circuit of the billboard. The relationship between the output voltage and the force applied on the billboard will be discussed. This study will contain testing in a controlled and uncontrolled environment to determine the different performance of the prototype and to compare the measured parameters such as voltage, current and energy at different environment.

Integration of image processing in order to detect red blood cells (RBCs) in human urine enables technology to reduce medical technician’s manual counting time and error factor. The general objective of this study was to detect and count the red blood cells in human urine using Canny Edge Detection (CED) and Circle Hough Transform (CHT) algorithms. CED is an edge detection algorithm used in order to identify a great variety of edges in an image. CHT is one of the features of the Hough Transform. Specifically, CHT is used in order to detect circular objects. The basis of the CHT operation will be dependent on the circular edges detected by the CED. In order to identify a specific circle size, the minimum and maximum radius must be set. Particularly, to differentiate the RBCs from other cells such as white blood cells. For this study, the minimum radius was 4 pixels while the maximum was 6. Compared to the manual counting of a medical technician, the automated counting of the device produced a percent error of 9.561% and an average counting time of 0.4561 seconds per sample.
