A Far East University student who wanted to help her father’s roller door business catch up with the trends of the smart energy savings era cooperated with the teachers at her school department to write an app for a smart energy-saving roller door monitoring system. In doing so, she has not only improved the development of the family’s business but has also been given a NT$2.65 million subsidy by the Tainan City Government’s local small business innovation research (SBIR) program.
The family of Huang Yu-chuan, a fourth-year student at the Department of Digital Media Design and Management, runs a traditional manufacturing business, but with today’s mobile phones and 4G networks, industry must also keep up with the times. She thought up a way for consumers to to use their mobile phones to monitor and control all the energy-saving roller doors and windows in their homes.
Huang said that, in the car on the way home, it would be possible to use the application to adjust the roller doors on ventilation windows a few minutes before arriving. “That way,” Huang said, “people won’t have to smell the stuffy air in the house first thing when they get home.” At the same time, starting the air conditioner so that the indoor temperature can be adjusted to the outdoor temperature would also help save energy, she said.

Huang Lung-tai said that the concept of using mobile phones for intelligent control was proposed a decade ago, and that he had been secretly trying to do it. Unfortunately, he did not have enough relevant knowledge, but luckily his daughter was there to take over, with the help of her teachers.

就讀遠東科技大學的女兒想讓父親所經營的捲窗工廠事業，能跟上智慧節能的時代趨勢，遂與系上老師合作寫「智慧型節能捲門窗監控系統的應用程式」，不僅改善家中的產業發展，並獲得台南巿政府的地方產業研發推動計畫（地方型SBIR）的兩百六十五萬元經費補助。
就讀數位媒體設計與管理系大四學生黃鈺荃說，家裡從事的是傳統產業，但現今手機及4G網路提升，產業也要與時代脈動相結合，她構想讓消費者只要透過手機就能監視及控制家中所有的節能捲門窗。
黃鈺荃說，在下班途中就能在車上早幾分鐘、透過應用程式調節透氣窗捲門，「這樣就不會一回家，馬上聞到家裡一股悶空氣的壞味道」，同時啟動冷氣，內外溫度馬上調節也達到節能目的。
黃隆泰表示，透過手機做智慧控制的概念，其實早在十年前就有人提出，他也偷偷在測試，可惜懂得的知識不夠用，還好有女兒接棒跟老師的幫忙。

Earthquakes are among the most terrifying natural disasters, generating massive tremors and destructive forces as Earth’s crust shudders. These tremors not only lead to the collapse of buildings but can also trigger secondary disasters, such as tsunamis and fires. However, we can mitigate the impact on lives and property by mastering earthquake response techniques. The DCH three-step strategy, recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is crucial during an earthquake. “D” stands for “drop.” You should immediately drop to the ground, using your hands and knees to support yourself. This position prevents you from falling and

It’s widely recognized that there are far more right-handed people than left-handed people in the world. Being right-handed simply means preferring to use one’s right hand for tasks that involve only one hand, such as writing and eating. But have you ever wondered about the possible reasons behind the global dominance of the right hand over the left? As with many complex biological questions, multiple factors appear to be at play. First, one reason seems to be genetics. __1__ Therefore, the global dominance of right-handedness is something that has been passed down through many generations of humans. Next,
