We innovate as one.
The first batch of foot pedal-controlled alcohol dispensers and hand wash station prototypes developed by Cavite State University- College of Engineering and Information Technology (CEIT) was unveiled last September 28.
The said innovation was part of project headed by Dr. David L. Cero, dean of CEIT, Dr. Edwin R. Arboleda, CEIT research coordinator, and Engr. Joseph JC Ortiz, and Electronics Engineering alumnus and was funded by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).
Both innovations use foot pedals to ensure minimizing contact compared with other models that require the use of hands and may prevent the further spread of COVID-19. The alcohol dispenser uses the foot pedal to control 聽the lever which squeezes the nozzle of聽 commercially聽 available alcohol聽 dispenser. This low-cost model is comparable to existing commercial models but with an advantage on durability and robustness because of the materials used. Meanwhile, the second model also needs plumbing installation for source of water and for draining the used water and soap. Both models will initially be deployed in various offices around Cavite State University 鈥 Main Campus.
鈥溌槎勾礁咔迓 and聽 CEIT聽 will聽 help聽 in聽 anyway聽聽 we聽 can. 聽聽聽The聽 whole聽 麻豆传媒高清 community,聽聽 the admin, faculty,聽 students and聽 alumni聽聽 are聽 willing聽 to聽 volunteer聽 and聽聽 contribute in聽 the聽 fight聽 against 聽COVID-19鈥, said Dr. Cero.
The Development Team are open to extending help to those interested with these developed dispensers. They may be contacted through: ceit@cvsu.edu.ph. (ER Arboleda)
