NuIDEAS 2- Land Power

Here is my Second Idea:

The Philippines is one of the land-rich countries with basically a climate which is good for most crop growing and other plants. But did you we ever wonder why at this point, we are still lagging behind other neighbouring countries? Decades ago we are placing side by side with some SouthEast Asian countries like Indonesia and Vietnam but as time goes by so is the economic gap. With this, I would like to present my NuiDEA2:

Name              :                       Land Power Program™

Details             :                      

 

No land with more than 300 square meters will be left bare/unproductive for more than 6months (except those with submitted  plans already-either commercial/construction)

 

Land owners will be encouraged to grow plants/high yielding vegetables/flowers and in turn they will tax incentives in real property taxes. (rate will be based on allowable level)

Discounted/Subsidized seedlings will be provided (either LGU/NGO) to be able to help farmers grow and earn.

These will contribute positively in the environment and will also help the low earning Filipinos something to ponder on. 3

 There is such a law, not implemented.  Good idea

Dear Prof:

Here is my other NuiDEAs:

NUIdea5-                            The Philippine Traveler

Most of us love to travel, in fact local tourists and foreigner amass in the country to discover wonderful places. The country offers many beautiful places that every traveler would enjoy. So why not serve them? MY idea is to have the "Philippine Traveler" as their partner in this adventure. Indeed it's more fun in the Philippines.

Name:  The Philippine Traveler

Type:     A customized bus wherein i will serve as a "hotel and transpo on the go"

Services:  If there is a cruise ships explore the seas, the  "The Philippine Traveler" will conquer  land transportation that will make road trips more fun. The unit will be customized to serve the accommodation needs of tourist while at the same time traveling by land to all parts of the country. It will be made so as traveler will be comfortable as they travel. Imagine, a deluxe room, viewing deck, meal service, and other personal needs as tourist travel is all at their hands. Streetwise indeed . Trips would normally last from 3 days and up with complete travel program . (Mai ang dami typo errors) 4.

There are such buses abroad. Bustel? Why dont you start one. (my deluxe buses to the north na e and to the south)

NU6 by MOF Str Reg, MLM for Farmers Produce

NuIDEAS 4- Multi-Level Networking Farmer's Product

Here is my Fourth Idea:

It is fact that there are some abusive businessmen taking advantage of a farmer's produce- buying at lowest and yielding high margin in turn. This also makes farmers life miserable. To give them a fair play of trade, why not create a group wherein it will be known nationwide and will use the power of multi-level marketing to boost sales.

Name              :                       (PilGinhawa) Pilipino Magsasaka-Maginhawa!

Details             :                       A NGO will help organized a group and make it legal and protected in law. This group will consolidate farmers produce at market level and sell it directly to consumer through the use of distribution networks and Network Marketing.

                        :                       A difference organization (accredited) will handle the audit to ensure fair trade and being performed.

                        :                       Incentives such as Kabuhayan packages/Year supply of farm produce will be given to each successful member contributing in the growth of the group.

                        :                       Programs that will also alleviate farmers' (and family) lives will also be the    3.5

NU6 by MOF, Pocket Breeze/Aircon STR Reg

NuIDEAS 1- Pocket Breeze

Here is my First NuIDEA:

Given the global warming effects, the country's economic ups and turns plus the ever increasing cost of necessities, we Filipinos are turning to relax ourselves from strolling in malls/parks, going to beaches (at least for minimal cost). Summer will soon start in the next few months and consequently we'll experience again the stress of El Niño which is one of the global warming effects. My NuIdea 1 is about something refereshing-a Pocket Aircon. We know for a fact the airconditioners require a lot of cash before an individual can have at least one. So why not revolutionized the air-con and bring it closer to the users? 3.5

Name              :                       Pocket Breeze™

Power source  :                       Solar

Type                :                       Handy (For individual use)- approximately 10-15grams

Colors              :                       Light Colors

Dear Prof:

Just thought of this and decided to write it for NuiDEA complation (not part of the requirement already)

NUidea7-         Cloaked Defender

Banks are almost always synonymous with money. That's why they have a lot of security measures in place in and outside their premises but still bank theft poses threat even to the most secured bank in the country. The bank vault normally is the safekeeper of the bank's  "cold cash"  and other high valued monetary items. Most of bank related crimes involves the forced opening of vault that' why I come up with this NUidea7 which can deter/mitigate effects of these type of crimes.

Name:             Cloaked Defender

Purpose:          to safeguard the bank's vault and deter theft

How:                Every bank vault has a time delay lock but ever wonder why vault theft is still up until now?  It is because of forced opening/unlocking of vault by criminals using the authorized bank personnel access. The Cloaked defender will help solve this-  security passwords will be designated into two types. One is for the regular/legal purpose and one for emergency purposes. Both access types can open the vault without hassle but the second one, once used will automatically trigger alarm to designated areas like nearest police station, barangay post, and other areas where help can be sought in time.

Alarm will only sensed by the designated posts and will not even give a hint to the criminals of what lies ahead of them. 4

Thank you.

Nu 6 - What Pisses You Off in Malls? - Armando Coloma Jr.

What Pisses You Off in Malls?                 Malls are filled with fastfood restaurants. Sometimes, these fastfood chains can be packed with people, especially during payday weekends and holidays. This results to long queues. I usually don't mind long lines but if further delays are caused by incompetent crew and confused customers (customers who don't know what they want), it makes my patience run out.                 To address this problem, fastfood restaurants may want to put up self-service terminals for their orders. These terminals should be user-friendly and must have the menu, complete with photos, prices, and automatically computes the order. They should be wired to the cooking area so that uncommon orders could be prepared ahead and lessen the waiting time. The terminals should be able to print the order to make it easy for the cashier to "punch". Also it would be more efficient if these terminals are touch-screen and the printed orders have bar codes, which will be scanned by the cashier for instant verification. They should also have a separate cashier for terminal users if possible. Hopefully, this kind of ordering process also becomes available in their websites so that when people crave for specific meals, they could print their orders at home and hand them over to the cashier upon arrival. 4 Armando Coloma Jr. Regis – Sta. Rosa

Nu 6 - New Product - AC

Plug-it Tumbler                 Some thermal tumblers are made of plastic, while others are made of metal. Since they are thermal, they keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. But what if you need your coffee until later, but no water dispenser is available, and your coffee is getting cold? A good example is travelling at night going to the province where convenience stores are scarce.                 Hopefully, appliance manufacturers could come up with an electric tumbler that can be reheated by just plugging. Perhaps a reheating "station" is required, one that could use a universal charger such as those of cellphones'.  Better yet, the electric components of the tumbler are all inside the bottom of the mug with only the charger slot exposed but is covered by an air-tight plastic seal with a rubber lining, similar to those of the underwater cameras'. This way, the mug is waterproof and is dishwasher safe. To add convenience and portability, the tumbler can be plugged into the car lighter slot.                 To prevent burns and scalding, the tumbler will automatically turn itself off after a certain period of time. The handle and the lid are all made of hard plastic that would not melt below the specific temperature that is enough to reheat the liquid inside. 3 Armando Coloma Jr. Regis Sta. Rosa

Nu 6 - What Pisses You Off in the Neighborhood? AC - Armando Coloma Jr.

WHAT PISSES YOU OFF IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD?                 Our neighborhood is a group of subdivisions at the boundary of Sta. Rosa and Cabuyao. The subdivision where we live in was originally for Meralco employees. This connotes that it is not for the high society, and the facilities are ordinary. No stickers are required for any vehicle to enter. Anyone can enter and exit any subdivision in the area.  There is even a pathway at the rear end of the adjacent subdivision where squatters use to have access in the neighborhood. These are the reasons why there are many incidences of robbery. This is one of the things that piss me off in the neighborhood.                 Security is relatively low. There are many outsiders with free access. Bystanders at the entrance sometimes create scenes. Some suspected drug addicts throw stones and/bottles into the yard of random homeowners. Barangay tanods are present at night but only until 2:00am. Also, some parts of the street are rough and it takes years before they get repaired.  Some people blame our trucks for the damage. Finally, the noise of some neighbors could not be controlled. To be able to control this, there should be a stricter reinforcement of laws, like in other countries where you can report them to the police and the police actually make them stop. The Filipino trait of holding grudges (pagtatanim ng sama ng loob) makes this more difficult. Security should be tightened in order to lessen robberies and other crimes. Car stickers should be required for homeowners, while outsiders should have their ID left at the guardhouse to be granted entry. Fines should be imposed for violators to have funds for security and garbage collection. 3 Armando Coloma Jr. Regis – Sta. Rosa

RE: NU6 by MR, Various, GPS,

Hi Prof,

Below are my NU6 ideas:

1.       GPS Navigation systems in public buses/jeeps

These will be used to keep track of: 

a.          speeding violations

b.         pick-up and drop-off at correct stations

c.          use of correct route

d.         abandoned/overstaying  vehicles

The navigation systems can be connected to celphones, laptops and other monitoring equipment. 

Benefits to bus and jeepney owners/operators includes:

a.        Keep track on the number of trips

b.      Keeping track on the number of violations (per driver or bus)

c.       Real-time notification for any violations

d.      Locates abandoned or stolen vehicles

Benefits to traffic enforcers/MMDA:

a.        Real-time notification

b.      Streamlines the ticket issuance and payment (and frees up enforcers for other types of work)

a.        It eliminates recording of violations on a piece of paper

b.      Automatic/online  ticket issuance to the operators/owners directly

c.       Settlement can be done online as well through bank payment transfers

c.       Locates abandoned or stolen vehicles

d.      Using it also allows engines to be turned off if vehicle is deemed stolen or poses a threat to the general public or if violations are too many

e.      Moreover, it will help instill discipline and order to the drivers and our traffic systems.

f.        Removes the personal transactions such as ‘lagay’ and ‘palangis’

This is also useful for car insurance agencies as there is a log of actual date, speed and other information during claim and eliminates some investigation work at their end. 4 ( am involved with such a company)

2.        TERMINAL FEES in airports to be added to the airfare tickets immediately to remove a separate queue at the airport when leaving for abroad.

Collection can be done by setting up an account where airlines and travel agencies can deposit the payments.  The passport number can be used as the traceability number where the immigration database, at least the portion that is not confidential, can be linked to the airlines and travel agencies to ensure proper accounting. 3

3.        Integrate the E-PASS of SLEX and E-TAG of NLEX so motorists can enjoy the benefits of auto-toll deduction either direction they go.  If it can be done by the banking sector and telecom sector, the toll system which only employs the basic of arithmetic is easier to deal with. 3

4.       Shoes/Sandals  with variable heights

Three main components:

a.        Basic flat shoes with slots at the soles for fitting the heels

b.      Heels (which can be varying in height – best type is wedges), it should have a protrusion (or locking mechanism)  that will fit exactly in the slot of the basic shoes

c.       Cushions for the soles put on top after locking in the heels. 4

5.        Imaging Techniques for  Fast Foods/Cafeterias

Use of imaging techniques/softwares to automatically calculate amount of ordered foods rather than punching on a cash register one by one.   A camera  can be placed on top of a table and scan a tray for its content and automatically.  The software can identify the food and automatically calculate the total amount of food ordered 4

6.        Vertical Parking for motorcycles/bicycles for space constraint areas:

A hexagonal pole with slots (s) for the vehicle and a bar to keep the vehicle in place. 4

NU6 by RG Mandatory Weekend and Holiday Duty for MD

Resending. MANDATORY WEEKEND & HOLIDAY DUTIES FOR MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS It has been a common practice here in the Philippines that most doctors, dentists, optometrists..etc are only available during weekdays. Their clinics are usually closed during weekends and holidays. That is why, for most of us who are tied-up with our work and businesses, have to sacrifice a day or two just to be able to consult a medical practitioner. Employees are most affected because they have to file a leave just to have a check-up. For me, health should be the number one priority of every individual, the society and the government in order to have a strong and healthy workforce that can deliver a progressive economy. It is just frustating that most people have the time during weekends and holidays but majority of the medical clinics are closed. We understand that these medical professionals have to spend time with their families also but since their job is more of a vocation and obligation to the people, they should adjust their schedule in order to maximize their service to the community. This type of extended operations have already been initiated by the banks and some medical clinics inside the malls but I think it will be more benefecial if it will be mandatorily required by the government. Gone also are the days, where you can also request a physician to conduct home visits to sick people. 3 sorry for the mix up

NU6 3: New Process at Work: Automation by GG STR REg

New process at work: Automation

In FPC manufacturing, majority of the process is labor intensive. It involves a lot of mechanical inspection using low power microscope, punching processes using 35 ton press machine and pasting processes using jigs and lamination equipment. All process is done by operators and inspector who load, inspect and unloads FPC to particular equipment. A typical FPC backend process is shown below.

Figure 1. FPC Manufacturing: Backend or Lower Process

To be more competitive, our group has been task to look on automating our process. We are now looking into automating pasting and punching processes. Automating the process maybe easy because of the available technology that we have, but if you consider the cost, then it becomes difficult. A typical cycle time of pasting process is about 30 seconds. The process includes picking a stiffener to be pasted into a jig, taking the FPC and removing adhesive separator, loading the FPC into a jig and activating lamination equipment. Manually, the operator use jigs with guide pins and insert the stiffener and FPC in the guide holes. The accuracy of registration should be within 100 microns; otherwise the product will be rejected. The task, automate the process and improve the cycle in less than 30 seconds. Whoosh. The idea is to automate picking and placing the stiffener automatically in the jig, loading the FPC after removal of separator, and laminate the FPC and stiffener. Once you have the concept, you must now assess the cost and benefit of the investment.

I think this is where entrepreneur thinking on being innovative and creative comes into play. An entrepreneur does not have to own a business to become one. He must have the passion and interest to create things and improve the task assigned to him. The operation must be effective and efficient to justify the investment.

The advantage of automation aside from utilizing less manpower is the consistency of process output and faster cycle time. If trouble occurs on the process, equipment troubleshooting and repairs are easy. For labor intensive process, human error sometimes can be very difficult to correct. The disadvantage of automated system is the high cost of equipment and requires big space. But that is one objective of the entrepreneur, to innovate and create new ideas with less or no cost at all. 3

NU 6 by RG Str Regis

Resending: REDEN GARCIA TS ENTREP, ST. ROSA   NU 6   1.      ELECTRONIC DRY SEAL FOR PROFESSIONALS   Being in the Engineering and Construction field, I find it very cumbersome for Licensed Engineers to attached and mark their manual dry seal on every piece of building plan or drawing. This is usually done when somebody applies for building permits and other public documentations. The authorized Designer or usually the Licensed Professional stamps and signs each sheet which are at an average more than 100 pages for a Building Project. A typical dry seal as shown below has been in existence since time immemorial: It costs around Php 1,500 to Php 2,000.0. It is also troublesome to bring it anywhere. My new idea is to be able to design and market an Electronic Dry Seal for all Professionals to address the wasted time and effort in stamping the related public documents. In order to address the risk of tampering or hacking as in any computer based technology, a random number shall be re-produced every time or it can also be protected by passwords. 4 NU 6- II          COMMON POST & CABLES FOR ELECTRICITY AND DATA   As an Engineer, I have always wondered on how to cut costs on construction projects and even on our existing utilities. One of the things that irritate me is the need to have separate cables, conduits and even posts for electricity and data (voice, data, etc.). I have searched in the internet and nothing has been written yet about this idea. Imagine if we can now access electric power, internet and telephone all in one cable and outlet, that will be a huge savings for all future projects. The picture above shows how we use so many cables for electricity and communications. There will definitely be a huge market for a co-transmission cable because of the enormous cost savings.   The challenge however is to how to prevent the turbulence created by power cables that affects the data cables. The distortion that it creates on the data transfer shall be addressed first. (MVP and his engineers at Meralco are working on it) 4 NU 6- III         TOTALLY WIRELESS CHARGER FOR ELECTRONIC GADGETS There are already existing wireless cellphone chargers as this one on the picture but my idea is to innovate this into a totally wireless gadget. The existing ones still have to be re-charged or provided with dry-type batteries but they are still pluged-in to an electric socket in order to recharge. My idea is to re-charge it by just putting it beside an electric socket but not actually plugging it in thereby eliminating the messy wires. Since there are already existing wireless technology, this system can easily be designed and tested in the market.  (4) sana feasible

NU6 2 - What pisses you off at the mall?

Hi Prof Jorge,

Below is my second NU6 idea.

Regards,

Gerry

What pisses you off at the mall? What do you suggest?

Long lines, this is what pisses me off at the mall. There are specific stores in the mall that have long line almost all the time. These are fast food outlets such as Jollibee, KFC, Chowking and Mcdonald and restaurant like Pancake, Shakeys, Pizza Hut and Max Fried Chicken. There is that one time where you will experience that irritating moment where you feel you need to shout at the people to hurry up.

One time I was in a lane at a fast food outlet with three counters that are all full. I was on the seventh row after I counted the number of customers from the cashier. After 20 minutes, the customer in front of me was now at the cashier. Instead of telling the cashier what she will order, she went through the list of all the food items on menu, does not decide until five minutes are over. Finally she decided to buy a value meal.  What! We have been waiting for about 20 minutes and she did not even bother to check what she will order. This long line would even double on holidays such as Christmas or at the beginning of school year. If you want to be comfortable and do not want to experience these long waiting lines, then you go to expensive dining restaurant where customer satisfaction is part of what you're paying. Just make sure that you have enough cash to pay for this premium service. But for those who can not afford this expensive place, something must be done to improve the process.

If you have been to BPI bank, they have improve there customer waiting time in line by putting electronic machine where clients input there transaction and the machine will provide you with your queue number which specify your completed transaction. As your number is called, the teller already knows what your transaction is and a few seconds more and you're finished.

My idea is to install a pre-order system electronically like the system of BPI. Fast-food outlets can install a number of machines where customer key in there order and comes out a queue number. Once your number is called, you pay to the cashier and your order is done. No more waiting in line. It is like automating the order system and improving cycle time. In restaurant, each table can be installed with an "ipad" like machine where customer key in there order. Once completed, the waiter can approach you and confirm your order.

There are many advantage from this, faster cycle for ordering process, less waiting time from customer, no idle time from restaurant waiter or crew. Interaction with customer is still present because order will still be confirm personally. Installed gadget on tables can be use for promotional activity or attraction for target customers such as kids and teens. It's like real time-on line ordering system. 4

NU6 by GG, Str Regis,"What pisses you off?"

What pisses you off at the neighborhood? What do you suggest?

Unruly drivers of public utility vehicles such as commuter vans, PUJ, tricycle and bus drivers is what pisses me off on the road during travel. Traffic is one of the most irritating problems we encounter daily whether we are going to work, going to school, visiting family or friends or simply going the mall on a weekend. Add this up to drivers without discipline makes you loose your temper in the early hour of the day which could affect you for the rest of the day. These irritating drivers are also one cause of simple accident you see from time to time. I’ve tried to do some research on information about accidents in the Philippines and I saw some fact sheets from the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) posted May 16, 2007. Here’s the reference and link   http://www.nscb.gov.ph/factsheet/pdf07/fs5_16.asp. Though the date is old, the information is quite useful.

From the data gathered in 2006, the type of vehicle that is involved in traffic accident is top by automobile at 27%, followed by motorcycle at 20.7% and jeepney at 19.2%. Accident involving tricycle is at 5^th at 10.9% and bus at 7^th with 7.6%. The number one cause of accident is driver’s error which is 27.8% or 4,182 out of 15,064 accidents recorded in 2006. Other causes are mechanical defect, over speeding and use of cellular phones.

Although there are no data saying discipline is the root cause of accident, by merely seeing traffic rules being violated by this drivers is a fact. We also notice this bad behavior in merging roads. Instead of yielding or alternately allowing the other lane to pass through, drivers of this public utility vehicle push their vehicles closer to you so you won’t be able to overtake them. And my other observation, turn signals means you have to yield and slow down. It does not mean that you have to push on the accelerator pedal.

Since majority of this violators and stubborn drivers spend most of their time on the road, my recommendation is to bring the information to the road regarding traffic rules and promote good and discipline driving habits. Government can use the new technology as part of this improvement. Provide more road signs on merging traffic. Illustrate yielding of vehicle to give way and ease traffic. In manufacturing, best practice and good discipline are illustrated and posted in manufacturing floors and bulletin boards where people can always see and remember them. This can be applied to our community. The information on accidents trends and violators charts can also be shown in Land Transportation Offices (LTO) or other government institutions. Another recommendation is to show digital videos regarding road discipline and traffic rules at Land Transportation Offices (LTO) instead of playing local movies or noontime shows. This would make drivers be more informed while waiting for their license or car registration for 4 hours. Come to think of it, this long waiting time at LTO offices also piss me off. What new things can we do to be more productive in this time? Hmmm, another new idea . . .Great Idea:   but police and LTO must make money on these driver's error.   4

NU6 by ALT, Waterproofing Barcodes of Fresh Produce, STR Reg

The Unreadable Barcode Nowadays, mall supermarkets are very competitive when it comes to their fresh section. Gone are the days when meat, fish, poultry and vegetables are not as fresh as their ordinary public wet market counterparts. Prices at the supermarkets and supermarket malls are now almost the same as outside especially if the brands they carry are their own house brands. I am one of those who benefit from the convenience of shopping for fresh items in an air-conditioned and clean area, and could dine and recreate with my family after. But there is this one thing that pisses me off when buying fresh produce in the supermarket malls: the unreadable barcode!!! I am a busy person and time is very important. Fast and agile service is what I always look for in a particular establishment.  In supermarket malls, fresh produced are either pre-weighed or you can choose and have it weighed by the crews there. A barcode is placed on each weighed product bearing the price/kg, actual weight and actual price. When already at the counter to have my items calculated, most of the barcodes that are not readable by the scanner came from the fresh produce. The cashier will then input the barcode numbers one by one and this is of course slows down the calculating process. I've noticed that the missed readings are rampant on wet items such as fresh meat (poultry, pork, beef and fish). There are also noted missed barcode readings in vegetables, though not that wet compared to meat, but still moisture from the vegetables is affecting the barcode reading efficiency. To address this issue, the paper used for printing barcode stickers should be waterproof. I believe this is the one that is causing the missed readings. Paper companies may develop a smudge free and waterproof paper for barcode stickers.3
