The International Warsaw Invention Show (IWIS) is chosen as one of the most famous international invention competitions by the Intellectual Property Office, Ministry of Economic Affairs (R.O.C.) and is one of the most well-known invention competitions in Europe. IWIS took place at Warsaw University of Technology from October 14th to 16th in 2014 and it attracted more than 600 entries from nearly 20 countries. The 8 entries from YunTech won 3 gold and 5 silver medals, showing the research and development power of YunTech.

 

The 3 gold medal inventions are as follows:

 

The first gold medal invention, “The Device of Swirl Jet Assisted Laser Micromachining,” was invented by student Chen Yen-min under the instructions of Associate Professor Ho Chao-ching, Associate Professor Hsu Jin-chen, Associate Professor Chang Yuan-jen, and Professor Kuo Chia-lung from the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The invention is not only a device of swirl jet assisted laser micromachining, but also holds the advantage of carrying away dust created in the manufacturing process, reducing the blocking of the laser light. The invention uses 4 air outlets to produce a swirl jet and uses 8 aspirating holes to suck the air, thus solving the problem of excessive cooling of holes and making the laser light work better.  

 

The second gold medal invention, “Development of a Series of Novel Materials for the Drug Carrier,” was invented by student Chen Chien-wen under the instruction of Associate Professor Chou Tzung-han from the Department of Chemical Engineering. By using a simple and economical way, a self-aggregation carrier with high biocompatibility was produced. The result of toxicity test shows that the drug carrier is non-toxic and steady. It is believed that the drug carrier can replace currently used liposome carriers.

 

The third gold medal invention, “Glucose Microfluidic Bio-Sensing Device,” was invented by student Huang Chin-hui under the instruction of Professor Chou Jung-chuan from the Department of Electronic Engineering. The invention is a device that includes both the microfluidic and bio-sensing units. The microfluidic unit, used for detection, is combined with the bio-sensing unit. The device also includes one substrate, dioxoruthenium (O2Ru), an electric layer, a thin glucose enzyme film, and a conducting layer. When fluids flow to the detecting field, the thin glucose enzyme film dynamically detects the concentration of glucose.

 

The 5 silver medal inventions are as follows:

 

The first silver medal invention, “A Lab-on-Disk Platform for Cell Labeling and Separation,” was invented by students Yeh Yi-ling, Shi Li-shien and Yu Chen-yu under the instruction of Assistant Professor Huang Chien-shen from the Department of Electronic Engineering. The invention holds the advantages of detecting fast, using few samples, and sorting when detecting. Due to the small amount of samples, the reaction time is saved. Different nano-Fe304 particles with different antibodies can detect different samples. Furthermore, one platform can work on diverse detections at the same time. If the injection of samples works automatically, the original complex steps, the amount of samples and reaction time can be reduced.

 

The second silver medal invention, “i-Balloon,” was invented by students Chen Tzi-ting and Huang Rei-min under the instruction of Associate Professor Wang Ching-liang from the Department of Creative Design. The invention aims to change the way in which kids use intelligent mobile devices and lessen their chances of becoming part of the phubbing generation. The outside format is flat for nowadays mobile devices; however, the invention transforms the flat style into a spherical style. Kids can also wear the invention to everywhere since it is designed into a bracelet. Like its name, the invention can adjust its size like a balloon. Users not only use the invention themselves, but also share it with others and thus create more social interaction.

 

The third silver medal invention, “Birdsong Identification Translator: i-piper,” was invented by students Lin Men-hui and Kao Pei-wei under the instruction of Associate Professor Wang Ching-liang. The invention is a communicative tool. When hearing bird sounds, i-piper can be used to record the sounds and will identify the bird’s specie. After identifying the bird, users can press the communicative button to give feedback to the birds and to interact with them, thus creating a relationship with nature.

 

The fourth silver medal invention, “Generation of Magnetic Energy Environmentally Friendly Shoes,” was invented by students Wong Yu-ren, Tsai Min-chang, Chang Chien-man and Yang ya-ting under the instructions of Professor Wang Terng-jou from the Department of Safety Health and Environmental Engineering and Assistant Professor Yu Yuan-liang from the Department of Industrial Design. The invention was created for females with poor peripheral circulation and for the elderly. The electro-thermal fabric and self-generating technique provides warmth to users’ feet; it also shanks and saves energy; and it reduces carbon dioxide caused by heaters. Also, the invention is equipped with a global positioning system (GPS) and light emitted diode (LED). When users get lost or are kidnapped, the GPS can help police officers locate them more easily. The LED allows for greater safety at nighttime.

 

The last silver medal invention, “Solar-Powered Multimedia Glasses,” was also from Professor Wang Terng-jou. Solar power is the main power source of the glasses and therefore helps save energy. A sound guiding system and a GPS are going to be installed in the glasses in the future. Users can record while using the sound guiding system. The GPS helps users to position themselves and this invention holds the feature of light weight because of light solar panels.
