Expected outcome
to facilitate the collection of fees by school officials
Prior to the establishment of this system, SKY was managed offline. By
connecting it to the internet, the project enabled greater connectivity for all
clients and managers.
For managers:
• Facilitates data management such as of student and financial
information, as well as management of the collections database through
the automation of services such as payment reminders.
• Automatically backs-up data as well as provides up-to-date financial data
allowing for more efficient management of funds.
For teachers and clerks:
• Streamlines the fee collection system by centralising all
data automatically.
• Online payment of funds removes need for handling of cash by
teachers or clerks.
For parents:
• Do not have to be physically present to make payment.
• Centralises all payment and enrolment databases for children
attending school.
• Records of payments are made automatically allowing for greater
oversight of fees.
SKY has the potential to become a universal application for all schools and
school-related organisations such as its Parent-Teacher Associations. The
benefits are self-evident as it allows for an automated and better streamlined
process for the payment of fees online without having to physically attend
schools. Moreover, SKY also has the potential to be expanded to other
non-school organisations.

brief Explanation
of the project
To build fully functional prototypes for LCSOC.
LCSOC is inexpensive and therefore can be made commonly available at
nearby shops/outlets (e.g., 7-Eleven, Petronas Mesra, Shell Select, newsprint
vendors etc.). LCSOC can be attached to the back of a mobile phone, and
allows users to conveniently charge and use their mobile phones while walking
around. In short, LCSOC provides an on-the-spot power solution for mobile
phone users that is inexpensive, readily available and convenient to use.
LCSOC is designed as a low cost device with estimated selling price of RM15
per unit. Its Power Controller Unit was built based on “ON Semiconductor
DC-DC Power Management IC”. This technology offers the best combination of
low cost, small footprint and good performance.
LCSOC is designed to be the most compact mobile charger with an
affixable surface, therefore it can be attached at the back of mobile phone,
whereby user can conveniently charge and use their mobile phone while
walking around. LCSOC compact design was achieved through its innovative
power circuit layout and housing design. Patent for LCSOC has already been
filed with MyIPO in October 2011.
LCSOC has a retractable power cable where user can adjust power cable
length accordingly. The retractable mechanism is an inventive method called
“Sleeve Assisted Linear Retractable” that creates retractable mechanism
with very minimum space (will be patented under Method Claim patent). This
method allows LCSOC to have retractable power cable without compromising
its compact size.
