The 28^th Malaysia International Invention Innovation & Technology Exhibition (ITEX) took place from May 12^th to 14^th in the year of 2016 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Malaysia. The 2 entries from YunTech won 2 silver awards, showing the R&D power of YunTech.

The first silver-awarded invention, “An Image-based Seismic Damage Assessment System,” was invented by students Wu Chon-chi, Chang Han-wen, Hsieh Hen-chi, Li Kuan-yi, Chen Ro-wan and Li Wei-chi under the instruction of Associate Professor Chu Tsung-hsien from the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering. The invention adopts image processing techniques to detect indoor situations after earthquakes. The detection rate of 97.6% accuracy is consistent with the Mercalli Intensity Scale. The second silver-awarded invention, “Efficiency Improvement of Silicon Solar Cells Integrated with Silicon-Germanium Structure,” was invented by students Chang Bai-rung and Huang Chen-chin under the instruction of Associate Professor Lin Jian-yang from the Department of Electronic Engineering. The invention helps monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon solar cells achieve a further 10-15% efficiency when applied to them.
