HOMEWORK

TITLE:
Application of Piezoelectric Material as Component for Constructing Roads in
Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX)
PROBLEM:
For many years, the world has continued to rely heavily on fossil fuel energy sources like coal,
oil and natural gas. As we process, the monstrous energy demands will continue to burst.
Hereby making it difficult to strive with a diminishing source of renewable energy. Moreover,
the demand for energy in the Philippines is dramatically increasing.
DESCRIPTION:
The project aims to use a piezoelectric material installed underneath the road surface.
IMPROVEMENT:
This is to efficiently use electrical energy to convert heat and pressure applied to the road
surface and electricity.

TITLE:
FIXCY: A Worker Booking Mobile Application
PROBLEM:
There are instances that customers had tasks that they can’t do by themselves alone.
DESCRIPTION:
The product is a smartphone application named “FixCy” which means “Fixing Emergency on
the GO”. The product provides customers the ability to book a skilled worker to help them with
tasks that they cannot do by themselves – anytime and anywhere, efficiently and effectively.
IMPROVEMENT:
FixCy gives users the comfort of finding the service they need at the right place and with an
affordable price.

TITLE:
Design of An Acoustic Fire Suppression Equipment Utilizing Modulated Bass
Frequency Signals
PROBLEM:
Fire is considered as one of the most destructive accident in the world and as proof, according
to the Bureau of Fire Protection, fire is the number four accident-related cause of death in the
Philippines. For the fire to start, it needs to have all four components of the Fire Tetrahedron,
namely: Oxygen, heat, combusting material and the chain reaction of the three. Conventional
fire extinguishers are widely used in order to suppress fire. However, these fire extinguishers
leave chemicals, residues, hazardous enough that it could lead to casualties to human
properties of lives. Furthermore, these fire extinguishers can last only up to a maximum of 25
seconds, which makes it less effective.
DESCRIPTION:
The proponents have designed an acoustic fire extinguisher to replace the conventional fire
extinguishers. The design utilizes bass frequency signal and sound pressure which terminates
the heat and disturbs the oxygen from the fire tetrahedron to suppress the fire and is supported
by a battery management system and a fire classifying system to further improve the reliability
of the design.
IMPROVEMENT:
This design, upon testing, showed that a fire with an area of approximately 1 square meter can
be extinguished in less than a second, provided that it is within the device’s operating range of
about 2 meters. Another advantage of this device over the conventional method is that it could
run up to 2 hours in continuous use.

TITLE:
SWINEIGHTOR (Swine Weight Evaluator)
PROBLEM:
Nowadays, the double dead meat in the market has been rampant which leads to illness for
the consumers.
DESCRIPTION:
The project is focused on the development of a mobile application that will serve as a tool for
backyard breeders of swine to automatically and scientifically compute an approximate weight
of the swine to be sold.
IMPROVEMENT:
Utilizing image analysis and statistical modeling, the application uses the smartphone’s camera
to capture the image of the swine and calculate its weight within acceptable precision rate,
thus giving backyard breeders a fair price for selling their swine and avoiding potential loss of
income.

TITLE:
Design of Up-Flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) for Domestic Wastewater
Treatment
PROBLEM:
Nowadays, the domestic wastewater treatment has been expensive due to the chemicals that
required to make sure the water to be filtered thoroughly.
DESCRIPTION:
This project is for the design of sewage treatment facility for Main Central office commercial
building. The UASB is a process in an anaerobic centralized industrial wastewater or domestic
treatment system achieving high removal of organic pollutants.
IMPROVEMENT:
The process of this project is more economical than most commonly known aerobic treatment
process in the Philippines (i.e. Sequencing Batch Reactor, Extended Aeration Process).
