Green energy harvester
A new piezoelectric energy harvester for
harnessing energy from flow induced
vibration is developed. It converts
flow energy into electrical energy by
piezoelectric conversion with oscillation of
a piezoelectric film. Experimental
results show that an open circuit output
voltage of 2.2 Vpp and an instantaneous
output power of 0.2 microW are generated
when the excitation pressure oscillates with
an amplitude of 1.196 kPa and a frequency of
about 26 Hz.

Ultrasonic horns
A new horn for high
displacement amplification is developed.
The profile of the horn is a cubic
Bézier
curve. A
design method of the horn using an
optimization scheme and finite element
analyses is developed. The displacement
amplification of the proposed horn is 71%
higher than that of the traditional
catenoidal horn with the same length and end
surface diameters.

Prediction of
distortion in quenched
steel plate
A finite
element program is developed to analyze the
deformation and residual stress of steel
plates after quenching.
This program is useful for decrease of the
deformation of the steel plates after
quenching.

Self-assembly of micro chips
A capillary-driven self-assembly method for
rectangular-shaped microchips is developed.
Rectangular microchips are assembled to
their specific in-plane orientations in an
air environment. Orbital shaking or a
rotating magnetic field is used to assist
the assembly process on a glass substrate.
|
 |
Multistable Mechanism
Multistable
mechanisms are developed. The
tristable and quadristable mechanisms
have no movable joints and
gains its mobility from the deflection of
flexible members. These compliant mechanisms
can be easily miniaturized, offering a
significant advantage for application in
micro actuators, micro sensors and
microelectromechanical systems.
|
 |
Bistable Mechanism
A novel method to switch bistable
micromechanisms is developed. Dynamic
switching is exploited to switch between the
bistable states.

"Real success is developing champions in

Valorie Kondos Field |
I believe that
one of the greatest gifts we can give
another human being is to silence our minds
from the need to be right or the need to
formulate the appropriate response and truly
listen when someone else is talking. And in
silencing our minds, we actually hear our
own fears and inadequacies, which can help
us formulate our response with more clarity
and empathy. Valorie Kondos

The anti-CEO playbook by Hamdi Ulukaya:
gratitude, community, responsibility, and
accountibility. |
To be a 1.1/each
day person. Tomorrow, you will be 1.1 * 1.1
= 1.21. the day after tomorrow, you will be
1.1^3
Don't be a
0.9/each day person. Then tomorrow you will
be 0.9*0.9=0.81.
In the end, 1.1
person will go to infinity. 0.9 person will
go to zero. |

"You
should take your unique backgrounds, skills
and needs and
build prototypes to discover and work out
the key problems, and
through that, change the world."
Andres Ruzo "In this age,
where everything seems mapped, measured, and
studied, in this age of information, I
remind you all that discoveries are not just
made in the black void of the unknown but in
the white noise of overwhelming data.
There remains so much to explore. We
live in an incredible world. So go
out. Be curious."
Goethe
"If you can do, or dream you
can, begin
it now, for
boldness has genius, power and magic in it."
Daniel
Pink:「The
secret to high performance: Intrinsic
motivation, Autonomy, mastery and purpose.」
Autonomy –
the desire to direct our own lives.
Mastery —
the urge to get better and better at
something that matters.
Purpose —
the yearning to do what we do in the service
of something larger than ourselves.
Brian
McLaren:「Your
question is better than my answer.」
Ken
Robinson:「The
real role of leadership in education is not
and should not be command and control.
The real role of leadership is climate
control, creating a climate of possibility.
And if you do that, people will rise to it.」

日本黛安芬總經理吉越浩一郎連續十九年,帶領公司持續成長與獲利。他以每週一早上八點半的會議,作為公司一個星期開始的第一件事。他用這個會議創造緊張感,對於任何工作問題或延誤,不接受任何藉口,要求「明天之前」交出改善成果(見EMBA雜誌第259期)。
Koichiro Yoshikoshi,
Japan Triumph CEO, leads the company for
continuous growing and earning for the past
nineteen years. Meeting at 8:30 on
Monday morning is the first thing of his
company. He uses the meeting to create
the atmosphere of tenseness. No excuse
is accepted for any work problem or delay,
improvement must be shown before tomorrow.
(see EMBA v. 259)
大前研一說,一個人下班後的四小時,就決定了他人生的發展、成就和命運。有人下班後總窩在沙發上看電視,有人游泳練身體,有人學習新技能。你可以明顯想像他們的未來會有多不同。
對一個公司來說,星期一早上的兩小時,很可能就決定了公司的未來。因為它預示公司的節奏,以及重點和文化。
Kenichi Ohmae:「
Development, achievement and fate of a
person are decided during the four hours
after work. Some sit on couches to
watch TV, some work out by swimming, some
learn new skills. You can imagine how
different their future will be. To a
company, the two hours on Monday morning may
decide the future of the company.
Because this tells the rhythm, focus and
culture of the company.」
Albert Einstein “Try not to become a man of
success rather try to become a man of
value.”
Einstein "Logic
will get you from A to B. Imagination
will take you everywhere."
Kittel,

actually make the observations we recorded,
and we publishes the results of our work in
a form permitting others to duplicate the
experiment or observation.
王明珂:在學習典範學術法則外,要懷疑及反思典範,並注意邊緣及不尋常的現象。
Ming-Ke Wang: Besides
learning typical academic principles, be
skeptical and think outside traditional
stereotypes,
pay
attention to marginal and abnormal
phenomena.

to discuss/show her/his work.
4. Does
she/he fulfill the minimum working
days/hours? |
