September-November 2015 Issue
by Prof. Gary A. Grey
This issue of Hypertech E-magazine features four emerging technologies: (1) Fuel Cell Vehicles (2) Drones
(3) RFID Applications (4) SAP HANA®
The article on fuel cell vehicles highlights the application of one of the outlier alternative energies aside from the mainstream gas and coal. Among the top 10 energy sources of the future (viz., space-based power, human power, tidal power, hydrogen, geothermal heat from lava, nuclear waste, solar windows, biofuels, flying windfarm, and fusion), hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are being considered by Toyota in Japan as a standard for clean transportation. NASA uses Hydrogen for its space rockets. Cars in Japan, e.g. Honda can provide power for houses for a week. Fuel cell stations have sprouted all over the world -- California has 70 stations, South Korea, 43, and Germany is expected to have 100 by 2017. Drone technology has emerged from military use to business consumer applications in the field of precision agriculture, mining and quarrying, infrastructure inspection, and disaster response (based on The 2015 Internet Trends Report of KPCB). The article on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology focuses on applications for safety and security, e.g. RFID tags on Appliance Plugs to prevent overload, access control, Real Time Location System (RTLS), ID system, and Emergency Alert System (AES). Future security systems may employ “smart dust” (RFID chips .05 x .05 mm) that may be employed for Anti-counterfeiting, Antibank robbery, Anti-shoplifting, Anti-burglar, and Anti-terrorism. SAP HANA® reflects the latest wave of data science which speeds up computation through in-memory analytics and combines both structured and unstructured big data under one platform for analytics. All these technologies while initially expensive will gradually be affordable as a result of economies of scale. While these technologies are in diverse fields, the common thread is that all of them are subject to the law of accelerating returns with exponential growth in benefits and cost reduction.

TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENT
Fuel-cell vehicles have long promised several major advantages over those powered by electricity or hydrocarbons. The technology has only now begun to reach the stage where automotive companies are planning launches for consumers. However, the initial prices are likely to be in the range of $70,000 but should come down significantly as volumes increase within the next couple of years. Unlike batteries, which must be charged from an external source and can take from five to 12 hours depending on the car and charger, fuel cells generate electricity directly, using hydrogen or natural gas. In practice, fuel cells and batteries are combined, with the fuel cell generating electricity and the batteries storing it until demanded by the motors that drive the vehicle. Unlike battery-powered electric vehicles, fuel-cell powered ones have a long cruising range—up to 650 kilometers per tank (the fuel is usually compressed hydrogen gas); a hydrogen fuel refill only takes about three minutes. Hydrogen is clean-burning, producing only water vapor as waste, so fuel-cell vehicles using hydrogen will be zero-emission, an important
Compressed hydrogen is stored onboard the vehicle in the hydrogen equivalent of a gasoline tank. Hydrogen is fed into a “stack� of fuel cells which consist of an anode (-) and cathode (+), separated by an electrolyte.

(oxygen source). The anode causes the release of electrons from the hydrogen which travel towards the positive cathode to create an electric current. Hydrogen ions (missing an electron) are directed to the cathode via an alternate route where they regain electrons combine with oxygen to become water molecules.
TRENDS IN TECHNOLOGY
In past years, government programmes have been pivotal in the development of fuel cell systems. For 2003, the total amounts of government funds made available were: EU Japan Canada USA Total
$175 M $250 M $ 50 M $300 M+ $825M
(€143 M) (€204 M) (€ 41 M) (€245 M) (€675 M)
Japanese and American companies currently have the leading position in fuel cell development together with Canadian companies.

TYPES OF FUEL CELLS Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells are well-suited for back-up power applications at sites such as communication towers and equipment since they ramp up quickly and operate at low temperatures. Phosphoric acid fuel cells were a first-generation technology commercialized in the early 1980s. Their advantages for use as base load power include high operating efficiency, particularly when waste heat is re-used, simple construction, low electrolyte volatility, and long-term operating stability.
Molten carbonate fuel cells operate at higher temperatures and are also designed to be used as a baseload 24/7 power source. Solid oxide fuel cells are emerging as the latest fuel cell technology. Advantages of solid oxide fuel cells include an ability to reform gas within the fuel cell, the use of low-cost solid ceramic materials instead of a liquid electrolyte containing precious metals or corrosive material, and very high operating efficiency.

ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS
Corporate espionage during R&D stage Reverse engineering of competitor’s product Ignoring patent rights Hiring of key personnel of competitor involved in project Release of unsafe product in the market
NATION-BUILDING IMPLICATIONS
Currently, the country is still on its infantile stage when it comes to technological advancement compared to developed countries like US, Canada, Japan and other emerging countries in Europe. But the brightest leaders of the land must take heed to the signs of the times wherein the environment resources are slowly being depleted and there is a need to shift from fossil fuel into cleaner sources of energy.
children are already introduced to robotics and other electronic concepts. Also, there are a lot of Filipino inventors that need government funding for support to continue their research. One example is the case of Mr. Daniel Dingel in the 1980’s, who showed the world how his car could run on water which seems too impossible to be true. The invention was sold to another country due to lack of government support.
It must start with the Philippine educational system wherein young Filipino children are still deprived of technological exposure, for example in other developed countries, school

COST-BENEFITS
Fuel cell electric vehicles are expected to provide significant positive environmental and energy security benefits, yet at this time they are still in a pre-commercialization state of development. However, hydrogen fuel cells are being used today to satisfy a commercial need in early market applications such as material handling and backup power, and these uses are furthering the development of fuel cells and related hydrogen fueling infrastructure and helping expand the market for these promising technologies. A 2007 study by Battelle indicated that hydrogen-fueled polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells have the potential to provide material handling services at a lower cost than lead acid battery and combustion engine systems can under certain types of operating conditions. Large warehouses can deploy several hundred forklifts per site for handling materials, with operations occurring during two or three shifts each day. Such material handling equipment (MHE) must be low- or zero-emission to meet safety requirements for indoor use. FCVs could reduce our dependence on foreign oil since hydrogen can be derived from domestic sources, such as natural gas and coal, as well as renewable resources such as water, biogas, and agricultural waste. That would make our economy less dependent on other countries and less vulnerable to oil price shocks from an increasingly volatile oil market.
Oil companies may also provide consumers with hydrogen refilling stations in response for the global commitment for cleaner fuel
consumers may have concerns about the dependability and safety of these vehicles when they first hit the market. Plus, they must become familiar with a new kind of fuel. Public education can accelerate this process.
FCVs powered by pure hydrogen emit no harmful pollutants. If the hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels, some pollutants are produced, but much less than the amount generated by conventional vehicle tailpipe emissions. Fuel cell technology must be embraced by consumers before its benefits can be realized. As with any new vehicle technology,

Send in the Drones! Members Lovemerus Ugay Vincent Cabanilla Bernardino Narciza Theodore Ged-Ang Adriel Alava Mario Lagmay
TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENT
An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone and also referred to as a remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. Its flight is controlled either autonomously by onboard computers or by the remote control of a pilot on the ground or in another vehicle. Drones are also called flying robots which can be remote controlled or can fly autonomously through software-controlled flight plans in their embedded systems working in conjunction with Global Positioning Systems.
SWOT (Strengths)

APPLICATIONS Reconnaissance and Mapping Industry
Television, Film & Photography Industry
Before disasters strike, drones can be used for risk management and prevention of potential losses, for example, by mapping certain terrain
Drones are utilized in capturing high definition photography and in film-making industry
Surveying and Civil Works Industry - Commercial and Agricultural Application Drones can function well in environments that are unsafe for humans. Drones can contribute to safe infrastructure maintenance and management.
Telecom and Logistics In addition to assessing infrastructure damage, drones also can deliver needed supplies to make infrastructure repairs or temporarily bypass damaged infrastructure by delivering supplies like food and water directly. Drones also can act as temporary telecommunications platforms, sending Wi-Fi and cell phone coverage across an area with downed power lines and damaged cell towers.
Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear or Explosives (CBRNE) events One of the realities of life in the 21st century is that heavy industry and power generation rely on hazardous chemicals and fuels, including fissile material to create nuclear power. Malfunctions in factories or power plants, accidents while transporting hazardous materials, terrorism and criminal sabotage are a few of the incidents that might cause unexpected chemical, biological or nuclear disasters.
Search and Rescue Operations Search and rescue operations can greatly benefit from the use of autonomous UAVs or Drones, to survey the environment and collect evidence about the position of a missing person or location of an incident or accident. To minimize the time to find the victim and survey the scene of an accident, Drones can provide accurate and fast feed-back on such data.

COST-BENEFITS Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) – Capital Investment, Hidden Costs Price of Drones nowadays are in declining trend, due to its popularity and in-demand in the military world. Commercial application of drones are also gaining ground such as in search and rescue, logistics, survey and mapping, advertising, film and photography and agriculture due to benefits in terms of cost of operation –energy efficiency, less labor-cost and safety of operation and good returns. Operating a drone has some hidden cost especially military operations application. Drones used in the military are back with specialized and trained operations personnel and complex information hardware’s and software infrastructure.
APPLICATIONS Drones can revolutionize so many industries, especially agriculture. They can streamline agriculture management. Using a crop management system to observe, measure, and respond to variability in individual plants, farmers can target areas requiring attention, Drones are more energy efficient. Drones have a much lower energy consumption than most other aerial vehicles. Drones are more energy efficient. Drones have a much lower energy consumption than most other aerial vehicles. With oil prices rising and increasing efforts to reduce reliance of fossil fuels, drones would be very helpful in achieving this goal.

ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS
Privacy Drone critics have expressed a number of valid privacy concerns. Among these include property trespassing, surveillance, stalking, harassment. Safety Legal protections surrounding the commercial use of drones are still unclear for a large number of unwatched drones traveling in public airspace could be dangerous as they have been previously known to have considerable crash rates, poor steering and are at risk of getting caught in phone lines, trees and other objects occupying airspace Crime Drones can be wirelessly hijacked manipulated or stolen. If compromised, drones carrying consumer goods or highly sensitive information could be redirected and controlled by the wrong hands. Drones can also be possibly used to deliver drugs and gun into the New Bilibid Prison to imprisoned drug lords.
NATION-BUILDING IMPLICATIONS
The government thru the Department of Agriculture can provide our farmers aerial drones for modern farming such as the one used in the USA and Israel to improve farmers yield and reduce its cost. It is a known fact that the Philippines is one of the countries that is threatened by calamities and natural disasters. The Philippines experiences average of 21 typhoons per year and our country is located within the Pacific Ring of Fire. The use of drones in places that can not be easily accessed can provide real-time information that can save millions of lives.

COST-BENEFITS Drones can strengthen the capabilities of our NDRRC. AUVs can be immediately used for search and recue, wherein fellow citizens in need for medical help can be located immediately. Transport of medicines and relief can be done using drones in case road network is damaged and unpassable.
Drones can be utilized to monitor our mountains for illegal logging, poaching and illegal hunting of animals, “kaingin� activities in our mountains. Illegal mining activities can be also monitored using drones. Drones can be used for traffic monitoring and management

APPLICATIONS
TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENT Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the wireless use of electromagnetic fields to transfer data, for the purpose of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically stored information. Some tags are powered by electromagnetic induction from magnetic fields produced near the reader. Some types collect energy from the interrogating radio waves and act as a passive transponder. Other types have a local power source such as a battery and may operate at hundreds of meters from the reader. Unlike a barcode, the tag does not necessarily need to be within line of sight of the reader and may be embedded in the tracked object. RFID is one method for Automatic ID and Data Capture (AIDC). Currently, the RFID has replaced the bar code system as an important alternative and technological improvement. The
Current RFID applications for Safety and Security No. 1 RFID Tags Installed on Appliance Plugs to prevent overload OFCI (overload fault current interrupter) turns off the power before the overload starts. In this new technology, electrical receptacles can “read” the appliance that is being plugged in. By knowing the appliance and its load requirements, it turns off the current before the overload even starts. This matching process is accomplished by installing RFID (radio frequency tags) on appliance plugs. With OFCI, the receptacle’s current is always off. When an RFID-enabled plug is inserted, the receptacle identifies the device and continually monitors the load. When load reaches the maximum piont, it can shut off power.
advantage of RFID is that it does not require direct contact or line-of-sight scanning. An RFID system consists of three components: an antenna and transceiver (often combined into one reader) and a transponder (the tag).

No. 2 - Access Control Certain areas require an expected level of security and access. From doors to parking lots, RFID access control tags restrict access to only those pre-approved.
No. 3 - RTLS (Real Time Location System) In some applications, you need to track the real-time location of assets, employees, or customers. Whether you’re measuring the efficiency of worker movements, the effectiveness of a store floor plan, or tracking the location of valuable resources, RFID systems
With this, limitless possibilities exist on its potential applications which are: Anti-counterfeiting Anti-bank robbery Anti-shoplifting Anti-burglar Anti-terrorism and more
provide visibility in any number of locations. This system is ideal
SWOT (Strengths)
for time & motion studies to improve operational efficiency. For security, RTLS could be used in tracking vehicles to deter carnapping.
Wide range of applications across numerous markets and industries Real-time, accurate information
No. 4 - ID system RFID tags can be worn by students, employees, visitors on a lanyard or ID card, or be attached to garments or knapsacks. This is to detect whereabouts of persons in an office, school, building premises and to ensure that restricted areas are not accessed by unauthorized persons.
No. 5 - Emergency Alert System (EAS) RFID system could be used as an Emergency Alert System to enhance security in such a way to ensure safety and alert authorities as quickly as possible, should there be incidents such as an entry of an intruder or a medical emergency.
Provides security Improves operational efficiency and lowers operating costs Less manual work Improved Visibility and Planning RFID tags can be automatically scanned w/o the need of an RFID light scanner Increases information with regards to repair and maintenance
The Japanese giant Hitachi has developed the world’s smallest and thinnest Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip. Measuring only 0.15 x 0.15 millimeters in size and 7.5 micrometers thick, the wireless chip is a smaller version of the previous record holder – Hitachi’s 0.4 x 0.4 mm “Micro-Chip”. The company used semiconductor miniaturization and electron beam technology to write data on the chip substrates to achieve this decrease in size.

ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS of RFID
Rights to Privacy Human rights groups & privacy advocates would surely oppose the use of RFIDs to monitor their activities for totalitarian applications. Utilitarianism For the greater good, the proper use of RFID would be a huge win for crime fighting. When authorities can account for every move people make, the odds of getting caught for a crime is almost 100%. That would likely be sufficient deterrent to bring crime rates down, and theoretically reduce the number of law enforcers required to maintain a safe environment for everyone. Playing God (The “Big Brother” Role) In an NBC News Report on Mar. 25, 2015, all Americans will receive a microchip implant by 2017. With the RFID microchip, the authorities can track movement, control the money and food of people. It may be even possible to kill non law-abiding citizens & those who do not obey. The CBC News reported on Feb. 27, 2015 that a Swedish office building has tested implanted RFID microchips in workers.
Kantianism Immanuel Kant’s ethical theory is centered on 3 grounds, that are focused on: universalizability, moral guidelines and rational.
Is RFID usage universal? The RFID technology is universal. However, it differs on the desired effect. Other frequencies are used, different kinds of data is stored. There is no such thing as “the” universal RFID chip. Is RFID usage rational? Yes. RFID is used to improve certain procedures, like vehicle returns, ticket verification, or in the medical field. The whole development of it was based on rational thoughts. How do we treat people, especially their data? In general, RFID is used to treat people and goods as the means to an end. The overall use is morally right. The way that data is collected and used, is wrong.
NATION-BUILDING IMPLICATIONS The acceptance of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in the country will usher in a culture wherein miniaturization of data storages can benefit our daily needs in acquiring information. Through this technology, there will be (1) faster and easier movement of information (2) efficient delivery of services (3) controlled movement of money (4) security in food handling and (5) medicinal or health monitoring, among many other benefits. However, there is a potential need to create laws that would ensure the protection of human rights.
