Summary and evidence of work done to improve the value of membership, which leads to

retention and growth of members

We recruited more members in 2012; in addition to send mails, recruiting ad prints are

delivered in conferences as well. Moreover, through the supports from IEEE Taipei Section

members, more related industries are promoted to crease the subsidies in membership fee. On

the other hand, we sent e-mails to notify students, each NSC project from professors is

available for 4 students on membership fee, and which keep subsidizing students to attend

conferences overseas.

The IEEE Taipei section GOLD group established in this year and hope that we can have a

more retention rate in members. Besides, we have also asked the new chair of GOLD (Prof.

Jing-Ming Guo) and WIE (Prof. Hsiao-Chin Chen) to have more activities. Thus, we believe,

after those activities, the number of members should increase in this year.

Tutorial Workshop: "Design of a polynomial model predictive controller with the sum-of-squares technique" by Prof. Yasuaki Oishi (Japan Nanzan University System Design and Engineering), in Dept. Electrical Engineering, National Chung Hsing University (NCHU), Taichung, July 2, 2012.Summary:Model predictive control is one of the most widely used control methods in practice. Since the computation of the optimal model predictive control law is problematic especially in the high-dimensional case, its approximation is actively investigated. In this talk, approximation with a piecewise polynomial is considered with the sum-of-squares technique. This approach is more flexible than the existing one with a piecewise affine function. It is also direct in that it does not need the computation of the optimal controller and is carried out with minimization of the distance to optimality. The asymptotic optimality of the proposed approach is discussed together with the stability of the resulting closed-loop system.

(1) Mechatronics in 21st Century, July 11, 2012

There are 82 participants in total at this talk held in National Taiwan University of

Science and Technology on July 11, 2012. Many of them are from industry and

academic institutions. The invited Distinguished Lecturer, Prof. Kaynak is an expert

in the fields of intelligent control and mechatronics. He is a IEEE fellow and was the

president of IEEE Industrial Electronics Society. He is also a Co-Editor-in-Chief of

the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics and has been named as the upcoming

Editor-in-Chief of IEEE/ASME Trans. on Mechatronics. The invited Prof. Kaynak, a

world famous distinguished professor, to give speech with insight inspiration to the

audience. Several in-depth discussions as to why Mechatronics technologies should

be further developed were also found at this talk. As a whole, the talk has achieved

the objectives of communication and experience sharing between academics and

industry. The attendant students also got the chance to have a global view about the

worldwide trends of Mechatronics development.

The development of mechatronics has gone through three stages. The first stage

corresponds to the years around the introduction of the word. During this stage,

technologies used in mechatronic systems developed rather independently of each

other and individually. With the start of the eighties, a synergistic integration of

different technologies started taking place, the notable example being in

optoelectronics (i.e. an integration of optics and electronics). The concept of

hardware/software co-design also started in these years. The third and the last stage

can also be considered as the start of the mechatronics age and starts with the early

nineties. The most notable aspect of the third stage is the increased use information

technology and computational intelligence in mechatronic products and systems. It is

now possible to have man¬–made systems that exhibit an ability to reason, learn

from experience and make rational decisions without human intervention. It is due to

this development that we can now talk about Machine Intelligence Quotient (MIQ).

In this context, mechatronics is closely related to semiotics.

After a consideration of the above stated developments, the lecture considers the

status of mechatronics in the information age and a discussion is given on how the

boundaries that separate it from other technologies are eroding. The challenges that

the engineers of the 21st century face are discussed and it is argued that different

educational philosophies need to be adopted. Finally the state-of-art reached in

mechatronics in the form of intelligent systems is overviewed with examples from

different industries and a perspective on the future is given.

(2) 2012 Taiwan-Japan Symposium on Power Conversion, November 23-25, 2012

CategoryInnovation Competition

*Annual Featured Activity

Title 4th i-ONE Instrument Technology Innovation Competition

Place Hsinchu, Taiwan

Date November , 2012

The 4th i-ONE Instrument Technology Innovation Competition was jointly held by the IEEE

Instrumentation and Measurement Society Taipei Section Chapter and the Instrument

Technology Research Center of Taiwan. This competition awarded the best innovator of

ground breaking ideas on instrumentation and measurement technology with the maximum

prize of NTD 100,000 (around USD 3335). It was firstly held in year 2009 which registered

by nearly 100 participants and grabbed the attention and sponsorship from several world-class

companies, such as National Instruments, Agilent Technologies, Isuzu Optics, etc.

This innovation competition, perceived by many local students as the channel to boost their

academic portfolio, continued to the second year with slight transformation. Concentrated as a

competition purely for students, this competition aimed to lighten the importance of

innovation from the threshold and advocate instrumentation and measurement from an earlier

stage.

The committee set upon the 4th i-ONE Instrument Technology Innovation Competition

included 20 invited members of former deputy ministers of the biggest funding agency of

Taiwan, National Science Council, department heads and professors from universities, and

representatives from industries. Three chapter officers jointly served as the committee

members.

After eight months of preparation, registration, and preliminary competition, 14 proposals

from two groups (youth and amateur) were selected to the final competition. Representatives

of the selected proposals were required to present their ideas with slides and demonstrate the

29

prototypes, if there’s any, to the reviewers and peer contestants. Below listed the 14 groups

selected to the final competition.

The winners were announced and presented at the award ceremony on Nov. 5. As previously

mentioned, the committee and the chapter had invited the Executive Vice President of IEEE

Instrumentation and Measurement Society, Mr. Reza Zoughi to attend the award ceremony

and relevant spin-off activities.

The Executive Vice President of IEEE IM Society, Mr. Zoughi also gave an overview of

the society to the present members and contestants, and presented awards to the winners. He

encouraged the young participants to have faith and confidence in themselves and one day

they shall be able to become the important characters in the field. As the only foreign invited

guest of the award ceremony, Mr. Zoughi grabbed the attention of the contestants who so far

had only very limited and vague ideas of how globalization works in research circles. The

introduction given by Mr. Zoughi in relatively plain English impressed and explored them the

beauty of international organization, and seeded the influence of the society and the chapter.

Based on random and informal interviews with the contestants, many expressed their gratitude

to this event for the opportunity of showing their ideas, a chance for them to think in more

depth (theories) and width (applications) of an interesting idea sprung from nowhere. Many of

them couldn’t hold their excitement of meeting the reviewers, committee members and

society and chapter officers, and of gaining the understanding to the society that they’ll

consider joining in the future.

After the ceremony, the chapter organized a spin-off symposium given by Mr. Zoughi on the

“Microwave and Millimter Wave Imaging for NDE Applications – Past, Present and Future.”

Other than the one held at Instrument Technology Research Center in Hsinchu, the chapter

also arranged another symposium at Academia Sinica in Taipei. Totally more than 40 chapter

members and 90 non-chapter members attended the two symposiums. Mr. Zoughi not only

introduced the audience the challenge and prospect of measurement, but also a comprehensive

overview of the society’s current activities, new ventures and services.

14. Chapter Name: Sensors Council Taipei Chapter (SEN39)(1) Sponsored Speech:

Chair Prof. Chao responded the speech invitation of touch panel, for the technological conference on Oct 17, 2012. The speech topic is on “Technology of a touch panel.”Subject: Technology of Touch panel The study proposes the sensing circuit for a large-sized capacitive touch panel. The panel consists of two parallel Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) film layers which are separated by a sensor glass layer. Our goal is to design a capacitive sensing circuit for a large-sized capacitive touch panel (PCT) (more than 12in.), where large electrode resistance (> 200kΩ) and capacitance shifts due to environmental disturbance are commonly presented to make extreme difficult a successful touch detection. The method of DC charge and discharge into the ITO capacitance is adopted for smaller-size (< 7in.) ITO panels, where a lower resistance (< 90kΩ) is presented. A new AC sensing technique is developed herein to enable the touch sensing in a larger-size (> 12in.) ITO touch panel. For the sensing circuit design, integrator’s and differential methods are developed. Both methods have low-disturbance sensing arrays to eliminate the effect of the environments. A 12.1" projected capacitive touch panel is provided by CHILIN Co. Ltd. for testing. All the sensing circuits are accomplished via IC taped-out and realized for the projected capacitive touch panel. The output is transmitted from the IC by Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART)

32

chip of FPGA. A personal computer displays whether or not the touch panel is touched via a set of serial data transmitted from the FPGA module and Visual Basic (VB) program. Finally, the circuit is also accomplished by using Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) 0.35μm 2P4M 3.3V mixed‐signal CMOS process. The proposed chips, with the die area of 1.281×1.281 mm2 and 0.91× 0.775 mm2, are carried out by National Chip Implementation Center (CIC).

Chair Prof. Chao responded the speech invitation of touch panel, for the technological conference on Oct 22, 2012. The speech topic is on “Patent analysis of a touch panel.”Subject: Patent analysis of a touch pane This talk is dedicated to introduce and elaborate all the patents related to touch panel technology. A new AC sensing technique is developed to enable the touch sensing in a large-sized capacitive touch panel. This novel designs of multi-touch sensing circuit lies in the operation principles through a 4X4 ITO film sensor array, a lo w-disturbance array circuit, a capacitance to voltage converter circuit and the proposed design procedure of chip parameters by circuit simulation. Furthermore, the sequence control for the array is generated by an FPGA module to accomplish the operation of the whole circuit. Some of objectives are to reduce environmental disturbance of the panel and to distinguish multi-touching locations from the panel. The corresponding output voltages of multi-touch sensing circuit are output in proportional to location touched by a human finger. Finally, the whole circuit is implemented by using TSM 0.35 µ m 2P4M process. The circuit output voltages are used to distinguish touch locations by a proposed algorithm.
