Tunghai University-News--Tunghai brings back three gold medals from the 2016 British Invention Show
In the 16th British Invention Show, of about 100 teams from 15 countries who competed for the awards, nine entries were from Taiwan. Tunghai University and its affiliated experimental high school won three gold medals with its three entries: solar-energy-based remote control window shutter, adjustable filter coffee cup, and infra-red sensing elevator. Their mentors were Prof. Arden Chen from the Department of Information Management, Prof. Yufang Chung from the Department of Electrical Engineering, and Prof. Gracie Peng from the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature.
The solar-energy-based remote control window shutter uses electricity generated from solar energy. The product incorporates an LED night lighting feature and a hidden camera. Without the traditional strings attached for raising and lowering the blinds, it reduces risks of child injury and accidences. The infra-red sensing elevator operates without the demanding up and down buttons. It not only reduces the risks of contact exposure in public places, but also eliminates chances of broken traditional elevator buttons, thus further decreases the costs of maintenance and cleaning.
The entry from Tunghai Affiliated Experimental High School, adjustable filter coffee cup, integrates an insulating vacuum layer, which reduces heat loss while making the coffee. Users will be able to create coffee that fits their preferred tastes by controlling the water temperature. The avoidance of using filter papers contributes to environmental protection. Additionally, the nano-silver cover at the bottom of the cup allows users to heat it over an electronic stove.

The purpose of the product is to combine the concepts of green energy and smart design, using solar energy to achieve the goal of pollution reduction. When the solar panels receive no sunlight, the LED lights will automatically light up, using the stored energy in the panels. To meet requirements of the American laws, the product has no strings, reducing risks of child accidents. Additionally, the product has a hidden camera to monitor the environment for safety purposes.

The insulating vacuum layer reduces heat loss and maintains the temperature while making coffee. Different from programmed coffee machines, this special designed cup allows users to adjust the amount and speed of the coffee flow to create various flavors and tastes based on their preferences. Another special feature of the product is the nano-silver cover at the bottom of the cup. The particular material allows heating over electronic stoves.

The elevator is controlled by a smart device using infra-red technology and a programmable chip. With the button-free design, the team aims to eliminate the public touching interfaces and the risks of spreading infections. The feature also reduces the chance of damage, saving additional maintenance and cleaning costs.
