Abstract

Keeping an interaction distance between 1 to 2 m is one of the health protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. This attempt was made to reduce the spread of the Coronavirus. On the other hand, this health protocol activity is often overlooked, whether intentionally or not. According to the mechanism of the Coronavirus spreading in the form of droplets that comes out during communication, sneezing, or coughing, maintaining distance can be the best effort to minimize the transmission of this virus. Therefore, the availability of a simple, accurate and user-friendly physical distancing alarm system could be a solution in the implementation of this health protocol. In this study, a prototype of a physical distancing alarm based on a distance sensor and a microcontroller in the form of an identity card was developed. Several steps are conducted in developing of this system, namely designing the instrumentation system and testing the performance of the system. System performance is tested through variations in the distance and angle of the objects. The measurement results show that the system can detect objects in front of the sensor up to a distance of 2.8m and an angle of  for a distance of 1m. The measurement using different angles of objects was performed for objects on the left and right sides of the sensor. In addition, a warning alarm will be on when the distance of the object exceeds the allowed distance.

Abstract

Nata de Coco (NDC)  is a network of cellulose fibers that traps abundant of water. If a freshly made NDC is dried to remove nearly all trapped water, we will get a very hygroscopic material. This material is potential for making water adsorber that might compete the well known silica gel. NDC was prepared using standard methods and its water absorption was investigated. Dried NDC was used in this study. For comparison, we also investigated the water absorption of several commercial NDC. To determine its business prospects, the water absorption of silica gel was also investigated. The results showed that dried NDC could absorb water vapor comparable to the absorption of commercial silica gel. This suggests that dry NDC has the potential as an alternative water vapor absorber in food packaging. The advantages of the NDC compared to silica gel are safer and environmentally benign, and easily decomposed.
