K U O MING WANG
Hi, my name is Gary Wang. I graduated from National Taiwan University of Science Technology and my major is industrial design. Others say that I am a stubborn and optimistic person. I think I have great learning and adaptability. In my spare time I like to run in marathon and even have a scuba diving license. Basically, I am a sport enthusiast. During my college live I participated in lots of competitions and activities to enhance my design abilities and expand my networking. There are three examples to prove it. First, before I served the mandatory military service in Taiwan, I participated in a cultural exchange program which is held by the government of USA. This program permitted attendants work 3 months and travel 1 month in America during student’s summer vacation. My employer sent me to start a whole new store in Fashion Outlets of Chicago. In the first week, we helped the owner earn 30 thousands per day. My major works were assist the manager to educate and guide the new employees, improve the rate of preparing food and providing meals, and systematize the ingredients storage. This chance allowed me to learn how a chain restaurant management company to expand which’s franchise. Furthermore, I cherished this opportunity to work in a totally different culture and learned to communicate with a lot of people come from different countries. And most important of all, I realized that as an employee company care about how much profit you can bring to the company but not tell the company what you want. Second, in my graduated project, I grouped up a team with my classmate to redesign a book cart of library. We had a target we want to deeply do every design procedure. Therefore, we could familiar with every steps of design. And then we could find out which process could be our career. In the other hand, I understood that I like to manage project schedule and fix problems during the development stage. Third, I joined a creative entrepreneurship competition with my friend whose major is business administration. We started up this business with a whole new integrated product. During this competition, made me know how to corporate with other people come from different fields. And learned how to make marketing trend survey, analyze consumer data and plan product features. Those experiences made me gradually found out what should I do in the future. I am interested in not only planning, analyzing, and even managing a project but also communicating and coordinating with people. I am coupled with the ability to design and develop the product and have knowledge in the manufacturing process and processing techniques. Therefore, I hope I could be an industrial designer now. In the future, I hope I could be a specialist who in charge of project management and product development with industrial design background.

Bookart This is a re-design of library’s book cart. We hope that we can provide a user-friendly and lightweight book cart. BOOKART is a user-centered book cart. By considering the use of processes, environment and the ergonomics, we remove the idle space which makes the book cart lighter and provides the users a more easily, smooth and comfortable way to move books.

Existing Problem
There are three problems in nowadays book cart after we surveyed the using process of book cart, environment, and the ergonomics of book cart. The users have to take the book from cart to shelf in such a long working hours. The size and weight make users very hard to turn direction with a pile of books in it. The wheels usually stick in the gap of elevator and make nosie.

i-Period The quick, revolutionary way to check your period and pregnancy is now at your fingertip.
Background
After our investigation and analysis, we found that whether women want to have a baby or not, there are lots of women worry about when is the best moment for them to have sex with their lover. Besides, most of them are eager to know “Are they pregnant? “ and “What is their baby’s gender?” There are three different ways to detect menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and the baby's gender. Those ways are inaccurate, inconvenient, and unsafe. First, most women have smart phones within menstrual-related application or use basal body temperature record table to predict the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Those two methods are inaccurate and quite inconvenient. Therefore, how to accurately, personally, and information-based provides information to the users is very necessary. Second, fetal gender detections are quite accurate, but invasive amniocentesis may cause unborn infant injury and even abortion. Besides, ultrasound tests require an experienced doctor in order to have the higher probability of fetal gender identification. Therefore, how to detect fetal gender and pregnancy in a non-invasive, safe, and fast ways are great needs for parents. Last, women buy a inconvenient and unsanitary pregnancy test supplies which cost considerable money. Therefore, providing a convenient, sanitary, and reusable product is necessary for women.

Pantent — Human Pulse Recognition Apparatus and Method(Professor Horng, Shi Jinn) A recognition apparatus and method for identifying a physical condition by human pulse is disclosed. The method at least includes : First, a plurality of sample pulses are taken to generate a plurality of sample pulse signals. Next, according to the physical condition ,a classification machine is trained by the sample pulse signals to classify them and a plurality of pulse attributes are generated. Next, a classification model is built according to the pulse attributes to identify the physical condition. The classification machine includes a Support Vector Machine or other classifier. The method also includes determining the number of dominant pulse attributes and building the classification model according to the dominant pulse attributes. The step of taking the sample pulse signals includes detecting the variation of the blood in the blood capillary of a finger to produce a pulse signal under test. Technique — Infrared temperature sensor Technique — Basal body temperature principle

Reseenk Re-seenk, mean not only "See" but also "Think". If you rely on the eyes and without brain to think about what you saw, lead to the idea of sweeping. How long you blindly believe everything you see? How long have lost your motion to find the reality? Hope this wrong view, people find out the "seeing is not necessarily the truth".
