Survival Kit

Basically, this is the structure of IBU. Firstly, the roof is covered with a light-weighted membrane, morphology membrane which had been improved and modified by USM researchers to stable the membrane structure and increase the sensitivity of stretching speed. Secondly, to build a strong but light floor structure, a composite material- epoxy nanocomposites hybrid is chosen. With the advance of hand lay-up technique, the excellent flexural properties and good thermal properties of the epoxy hybrid nanocomposites meet the requirement for making the floor of IBU.

As bamboo with the form of poles are the main structure material for IBU, its need joint and filler to stable its up. For joint, it should be make from steel of polycarbonate, thus, adhesive from recycle polystyrene is needed. Instead of recycling polystyrene, converting it to adhesive is more environmental friendly and the product exhibits excellent adhesion, physical and mechanical properties when applied to different materials. µSiO₂ is novel cheap high performance silica filler from tin mine waste. The characteristics of µSiO₂ such as various particle shape, minimal agglomeration and partially amorphous layer are suitable in the construction of IBU as a filler.

My survival kit is shown as below. Inside the survival kit there are two main elements from the inventions of USM which are Resources Management Tool (RMT) and Dissolved air flotation (DAF). During disaster period, RMT will help to manage all the resources contained in IBU wisely in order to sustain 40 days and nights of battering. RMT offers six renowned and highly effective core service that are Internet Bandwidth Monitoring and Control Service, Active Virtual Folder Service, Computer Management Service, Application Management and Control Service, Computer Utilization Monitoring Service and RMT Tamper-Proof Service. Besides, by using the Application Programming Interface other custom service can be implemented according to their need and thus ease the survivals in controlling and managing their resources.
For DAF, it is a process used to separate solid from the body of liquid for water and wastewater clarification. A pilot plant for dissolved air flotation process was
constructed for potable water treatment to remove the particles present in the raw water so that the turbidity is reduced to an acceptable limit for drinking purposes. Hence, with the present of DAF people will have enough water to survive throughout 40 days and nights and it can help in providing clean water after the disaster too.
