    Abstract Doctors need to wear complete protective equipment when large numbers of patients flood into the emergency room. Taiwan has so far managed to prevent a large scale community outbreak, city forces wearing face masks on public transportation, and keep social distancing to stem the virus from spreading. The protective device may be contaminated and must be replaced. In the situation of limited resources, how to take care of the physiological needs of the doctor without increasing the chance of contamination during replacement is a consideration. By reducing the chance of contamination during removal and storage, the previous designs were analyzed and improved. We proposed three improved designs to reduce the contact. Design-A features a mask with a water channel that allows the user to remain hydrated without removing the cover. Design-B has a folding pattern that hides the outer surface. Design-C combines the mask with the brim of a cap which form an extended air-intake area. Through understanding the problem, related product began distribute on the market, Design-D extend the mask usages period with less contact.

    Abstract The global outbreak of coronavirus has become an international public health threat. Prevention is of paramount importance to contain its spread. This study observes face mask wearing behavior and contact transmission problems in Taiwan. Teachers track student status in class. In addition to measuring body temperature and regular disinfection, classrooms require ventilation wear mask, provide alcohol spray and avoid sharing the microphone. Both questionnaire surveys and experimental were utilized. A total of 160 adults residing in Taiwan participated in the survey. The dye simulated the possible virus area on the mask surface during usage. Subjects were required to complete a questionnaire and simulate the spread of contact transmission when using a computer. Eighty-one % of respondents reported consistent use of surgical masks several times a day. They reported taking their masks off in relatively safe areas. Most people reported using one mask per day and storing the masks in their pockets. As a result, masks surface become a contamination source. In the contact experiment, ten adults were requested to don and doff a surgical mask while doing a word processing task. The extended contamination areas were recorded and identified by image analysis. The results show an average contamination area of the workspace is significant 530 cm

    Abstract The study proposed a self-driven guidance walker through user-oriented integration design. The common two-wheel drive performs left and right turn. By reducing the weight of the walker body, the durability of the battery can be increased. Secondly, we use a foldable structure so that the walker can be conveniently stored in a small space. A small number of sensors are required to reduce the complexity of signal processing. The front sensors of the walker are infra-red and ultra-sonic detectors, which determine and evade obstacles. The walker handle has three to five force sensors. The combination of the pressure data from these sensors can be used to determine the intent of the user, like turning or stopping.

    Abstract High-speed wood sawing results in an uneven surface were evaluated. Machine structure was redesigned to reduce noise and unevenness of such sawing. A crawler track is driven by an auxiliary wheel. The roller seat on top of the board saw stabilises chain pieces. Investigations revealed some influencing mechanical factors, including static deformation, resonance excitation, and rigid body collision. A complete chain feed model was constructed to analyse related acoustic noise. Quantitative analysis enabled a successful redesign of chain feed elements. Chain feed simulation enabled the reduction of conflicting factors and revealed the optimal shape for chain links. The structural deformation of die casting indicated the possibility of variation in the chain shape. The flatness of the chain surface was reduced, and noise generated during the collision of links was minimised. Simplified modelling enabled identification of problems in the multi-blade system.

    Abstract Wooden structure and the process of extracting elements are performed together with the adolescent. Young people have gradually forgotten ancient wisdom hidden in traditional objects. Traditional East Asian wooden architecture use mortise-and-tenon joints with various types. We have summarized the main types of wood structure joints and selected joint styles for image perception analysis. First, the joint structure is simplified, and the CAD digital model of the objects was established to facilitate the understanding of its structures and assembly approach. Second, connecting elements were extracted into five functions and shape types. Four stages questionnaires were used to survey feedback to verify the main recognizable features. The initiative’s primary intended outcome is 30 adjective with each sample which have differences in their cognition. After summing up by factor analysis, they can more clearly know the difference in image cognition between mortise-and-tenon samples.

    Abstract The turbidity water in the disaster area is unusable and requires long periods of precipitation and filtration. A simple portable water filter is designed to solve the problem of drinking water for the victims. The method to solve the problem: a 2-in-1 motor powered by a DC battery provided extracted and pressurized on turbid rainwater. We choose the suitable filters set to reduce costs. The Prototyping model made by 3D printing used to verify the user’s requirement. Both piggyback and handheld are suitable for rescuer’s body condition. The result shows the turbid water can be continuously extracted and released to the drinking water of acceptable quality during the pressurization process. We achieved a portable water purifier which improved the water quality and provided a short-term drinking water supply. It can place in local community office during the disaster.
