Daily traffic, long queues in banks and payment centers, or even long waiting-time for medical appointments are a few examples of loss of human productivity. This study evolved in developing a system that allows the clinic's patients to schedule an appointment by utilizing identification cards and biometrics. Specifically, to design and develop a system that can automate patient appointments to lessen the waiting time. The system is split into two: the kiosk system, where the user can access their accounts, and the administration system, where one administrator can control the queuing of appointments. The whole device is operated by Raspberry Pi 4B mini microcomputer with interconnection with Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) and biometrics device as well as a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) dongle for messaging and a thermal printer for issuance of queuing numbers. The functionality test reveals excellent results with 92.56 percent precision and 93.33 percent functional accuracy.

The purpose of the study is to develop a hydrophobic natural solution as an alternative coating material for wood and steel substrates. The study uses Moringa seed oil, Tarap seed oil, and Soy wax to create a natural hydrophobic coating solution that can prevent water infiltration while at the same time being free from harmful chemicals. Using the mixture of Moringa Oil, Tarap Oil, and Soy wax, the wood and steel substrates were dip. coated and cured for seven (7) days. The heat treatment method was then used to determine if there was any improvement to the Water Contact Angle (WCA) of both Wood and Steel substrates. After the series of tests, it has been found that half of the wood samples with salt templating shows sign of hydrophobization, precisely, Wax Coating (90.72° ± 5.12°), War-Moringa Coating (90.47° ± 1.42°), Wax-Tarap Coating (101.98° ± 5.18°), Wax-Moringa-Tarap (2:2:1) Coating (90.77° ± 3.53°), and Wax-Moringa- Tarap (2:1:2) Coating (91.98° ± 6.38°). It implies that using salt templating as a surface fabrication effectively increases the WCA of the surface. Also, the wood samples without salt templating (Tarap Coating, Wax-Tarap Coating, and Wax-Moringa-Tarap (2:2:1) Coating) have achieved a hydrophobic level of water contact angle after the heat treatment from 85.59°, 85.31°and 82.62° to 90.96°, 90.35°, and 90.11', respectively. Furthermore, most of the steel samples did not reach a hydrophobic level but still showed a more significant percent increase of WCA after heat treatment of 11.635% than the wood samples of 6.18%, which signifies that the heat treatment is more effective and offers more heat resistance in steel substrates than in wood. Thus, the combination of Moringa seed oil, Tarap seed oil, and Soy wax is effective in creating a hydrophobic bio-based oil product for wood and steel applications.

It is unsurprising that many developments are centred on transforming mechanical and human forces into electrical power due to their attractive properties. One main shortcoming of these devices was requiring the user to generate true power. Specifically, this study aims to design a customized kneepad and a compact box that the user can wear during cycling. The proponents aim to have a weight of fewer than 2 kilograms for the device and be able to charge the batteries by achieving a charging current of 0.25-0.5 amperes and a charging voltage of 3.6-3.7 volts. The proponents performed multiple testing and assessments to evaluate the functionality and effectiveness of the device. The Thompson Tau Test shows that the results of the data gathered when the device was used fall within the range and did not deviate significantly from the overall pattern or trend of the data. Overall, the device is fully operational and will undoubtedly contribute to generating energy from the human body.
