Batch 8 Mechanical Technology graduate Jessie Bato-on (left) obtained the first patent of Sheet Picking System for an Imaging Apparatus for Lexmark printers in May.
This technology is integrated in a printer enabling it to pick up the lightest or the heaviest media or paper. Jessie designed the prototype while a colleague named Engr. Gil Vargas provided for its documentation and calculation.
“Customers’ demands made us think about this invention,” says Jessie who has been working for Lexmark Research and Development Corporation (LRDC) since his in-plant training.
Jessie didn’t strike any chord when he was still a student at CITE. His department head, Edwin Heredia, noted, “He was just an ordinary student before but obedient.”
This 26-year old inventor started his career at LRDC as laboratory technician. Now, he works in the Low-Mid Mono Paperpath Department where he continues to stand out in his field. He also took up his engineering course at the University of San Jose-Recoletos through its equivalency program and graduated in April 2007.
CITE is an important part of Jessie. “The style of CITE— theory and hands-on—contributes greatly to my achievement,” he asserts.
Jessie is handling three in-plant trainees from CITE who also speak well of their mentor in terms of work habits and competence. His secret? “Always put God in everything you do.” Now, that doesn’t need any patent, does it?ï
