Among the notable awards was the Platinum Prize for the “Rotary Code Disk and Method for Designing The Same,” an innovation developed by Professor Meng Ou-Yang and his team. This invention enhances the precision of servo motor positioning and control by optimizing the encoder design without altering sensor or hardware structures, providing efficient solutions for automation and related applications.
NYCU’s Gold-winning technologies highlighted pioneering advancements, including Professor Li-Wei Ko’s “Early Assistive Diagnosis System for ADHD” and Professor Jyh-Cheng Chen’s “Contrast Carrier Device with Geometric Calibration Phantom on Computed Tomography,” showcasing innovations in healthcare, materials science, and biotechnology. Professor Yi-Hsin Lin’s “Electrically Controllable Liquid Crystal Lens and Combined Electrically Controllable Liquid Crystal Lens,” a standout entry, also received a Corporate Special Award from Hon Hai Technology, capturing significant attention at the Expo.
