Muri records new invention<\/p>\n
YOGYAKARTA: The Indonesian Museum of Records (Muri) awarded on
\nSaturday Kokoh Handoko, an alumnus of the Institute of Science
\nand Technology (IST) Akprind in Yogyakarta, a certificate of
\nrecord for his invention of an electric device called an Electric
\nCurrent Shock Indicator.<\/p>\n
Muri Chairman Jaya Suprana presented the award in a ceremony
\nat IST Akprind auditorium over the weekend. Similar awards were
\nalso given to the institute as the initiator of the invention,
\nand Prastyono Eko Pambudi as Kokoh's consulting lecturer.<\/p>\n
According to Muri manager Paulus Pangka, it was the first time
\nthat Muri had recorded an invention in the field of technology.
\nThe device itself, he said, had been tried and demonstrated at
\nMuri headquarters in Semarang on Oct. 17, 2001. A demonstration
\nwas also held during Saturday's ceremony.<\/p>\n
\"After it had been published for one month and no one else
\nclaimed (to have invented) the device, then we have the
\nobligation to give the inventor an award and record it as a rare
\ninvention,\" he said after the ceremony.<\/p>\n
The invention was recorded as Muri's 658th record.<\/p>\n
Jaya Suprana said that he highly appreciated technological
\nworks. Moreover, what Kokoh had invented had something to do with
\nhuman safety. Therefore, it had a humanitarian value and not
\nmerely a work of technology.<\/p>\n
The device, which may be used as a tool to avoid accidents
\ncaused by electric shock was inspired by an electronic device
\ncalled the full electronic earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB),
\nwhich won second prize at a provincial technological innovation
\ncompetition for students in 1996. --JP<\/p>",
