  • 2019 Corporate Governance Evaluation Results in Taiwan
    2019 Corporate Governance Evaluation Results in Taiwan Conducted by the Securities and Futures Institute Entrusted by Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation & Taipei Exchange Despite all reasonable care given in the screening process to ensure objectivity, the SFI bears no responsibility in case of any damage or loss incurred from use of the evaluation results. April 30, 2020 2019 Corporate Governance Evaluation Results in Taiwan About the “Corporate Governance Evaluation System” In response to the market need for enhanced corporate governance reforms, the Financial Supervisory Commission ("FSC") issued the "Corporate Governance Roadmap" in December 2013 and the new one in April 2018, aiming to accelerate the implementation of corporate governance among Taiwanese listed companies, assist them with sound development and boost market confidence. According to the roadmaps, the implementation of corporate governance evaluation is one of the major projects with the goal of investors and enterprises better understanding the performance of corporate governance by comparing the evaluation results among companies. In 2014, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (“TWSE”) and the Taipei Exchange (“TPEx”) launched the “Corporate Governance Evaluation System”, conducted by the Securities and Futures Institute (“SFI”) annually. The FSC believes this evaluation system will make companies take corporate governance more seriously, encourage healthy competition among companies and cultivate a culture that companies voluntarily improve their corporate governance. 2019 is the sixth year of the evaluation and the results have been published on April 30, 2020.The industry differentiation was also taken into account and the evaluation results were released both on a listing market basis and on an industry by industry basis.

  • SMART MOVEMENT DETECTION for ANDROID PHONES a Degree Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Escola Tècnica D'enginyeria De Tele
    SMART MOVEMENT DETECTION FOR ANDROID PHONES A Degree Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Escola Tècnica d'Enginyeria de Telecomunicació de Barcelona Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya by Pablo Navarro Morales In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree in TELECOMMUNICATION ENGINEERING Advisor: Sergio Bermejo Barcelona, October 2016 Abstract This project describes a decision tree based pedometer algorithm and its implementation on Android using machine learning techniques. The pedometer can count steps accurately and It can discard irrelevant motion. The overall classification accuracy is 89.4%. Accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetic field sensors are used in the device. When user puts his smartphone into the pocket, the pedometer can automatically count steps. A filter is used to map the acceleration from mobile phone’s reference frame to the direction of gravity. As a result of this project, an android application has been developed that, using the built-in sensors to measure motion and orientation, implements a decision tree based algorithm for counting steps. 2 Resumen Este proyecto describe un algoritmo para un podómetro basado en un árbol de decisiones y su aplicación en Android utilizando técnicas de aprendizaje automático. El podómetro puede contar los pasos con precisión y se puede descartar el movimiento irrelevante. La precisión de la clasificación general es del 89,4%. Un acelerómetro, un giroscopio y un sensor de campo magnético se utilizan en el dispositivo. Cuando el usuario pone su teléfono en el bolsillo, el podómetro puede contar automáticamente pasos. Un filtro se utiliza para asignar la aceleración del sistema de referencia de teléfono móvil a la dirección de la gravedad.

  • Professor Sir Colin Humphreys CBE Freng FRS
    Monash Centre for Electron Microscopy 10th Anniversary Lecture Professor Sir Colin Humphreys CBE FREng FRS Chair: Dr Alan Finkel AO FAA FTSE Thursday 22 November 2018 Lecture Theatre G81 Learning and Teaching Building 5.30pm 19 Ancora Imparo Way Clayton Campus How electron microscopy can help to save energy, save lives, create jobs and improve our health Electron microscopes can not only image single atoms, they can identify what the atom is and even determine how it is bonded to other atoms. This talk will give some case studies from Colin Humphreys’ research group going from basic science through to commercial applications, featuring two of the most important new materials: gallium nitride and graphene. Electron microscopy has played a key role in the rapid advance of gallium nitride (GaN) LED lighting. LED lighting will soon become the dominant form of lighting worldwide, when it will save 10-15% of all electricity and up to 15% of carbon emissions from power stations. Electron microscopy has enabled us to understand the complex basic science of GaN LEDs, improve their efficiency and reduce their cost. The Humphreys’ group has been very involved in this. LEDs based on their patented research are being manufactured in the UK, creating 150 jobs. Next generation GaN LEDs will have major health benefits and future UV LEDs could save millions of lives through purifying water. Graphene has been hailed as the “wonder material”, stronger than steel, more conductive than copper, transparent and flexible. However, so far no graphene electronic devices have been manufactured because of the lack of good-quality large-area graphene.
