Presentation title: A real-time monitoring system for Knee Muscles Training

Reflection

Participating in the 2016 MIPE International Symposium in Tokyo, Japan was very beneficial for me. Apart from giving my first academic presentation, I had the opportunity to exchange ideas with scholars and researchers from around the world and learn about their latest research fields, directions, and methods. Scholars from different countries attended the conference, allowing me to learn about research in different fields and to broaden my international perspective. From the presentations, I saw different types of sensors and systems, which allowed me to understand the differences between my own research and that of other scholars. I realized that I still have a lot to learn from others, and that English proficiency is an essential skill for international academic researchers, particularly when it comes to listening and speaking. The conference helped me to understand that English is an important international language of communication and that I need to spend more time improving my English skills.

During the conference, I presented a real-time monitoring system for knee muscle training. After my 10-15 minute oral presentation, several scholars asked me the following questions:

Q1: Who can use the system? Can it be used for knee injuries within a certain percentage range?

Q2: How are the resistance data values collected?

I answered their questions using simple English, and the scholars seemed to understand my answers. However, I was nervous during my presentation, and my English was not always clear. There is still much room for improvement. Watching other scholars present their research, I noticed that they spoke with confidence and fluency, and I realized that academic exchange is an ongoing process of learning and improvement. Understanding the ideas and strengths of others has motivated me to work harder. Overall, the conference was very beneficial for me.

Listening Session 1

COP Optimization of a R134a Cross Vane Expander Compressor Refrigeration System

This presentation discusses the COP optimization of a R134a cross-cylinder rotary compressor refrigeration system. With a 20% reduction in shaft radius and a 17% reduction in inner cylinder radius, as well as a 16% increase in orifice diameter, a 58% improvement in COP can be achieved.

Listening Session 2

Determination of Strain Gradient in Trapezoid Aluminum Plates Using a Surface-Bonded FBG Sensor

This presentation is about using surface-mounted FBG sensors to measure strain gradients in trapezoidal aluminum plates. It was found that the amplitudes of the second peak and valley in the intensity-wavelength curve are sensitive to the normalized strain gradient of the sample. The results showed that using a single FBG sensor gives a linear distribution of strain in the measurement.

Listening Session 3

Experimental Investigation on the Effects of Bifurcation Angle on Enhanced Microscale Heat Transfer in Macro Geometry

This experimental study investigates the effect of bifurcation angle on enhanced microscale heat transfer in macroscopic geometry. The study demonstrates the feasibility of using surface contours in macroscopic geometries and microchannels to enhance heat and fluid mechanics performance.

The Influence of Heat Transfer, Viscosity, Salinity and Humidity on the Structure of the Spectrum Normal Vibrations 

in Rotating and Stratified Fluids

The author investigates the effects of heat transfer, viscosity, salinity, and humidity on the spectral normal modes in the structure of rotating and stratified liquids, and presents several insights.

Listening Session 5

On the Design of Air Flow Passages Tissue Paper Folding Machines

The author explores the design of an air channel tissue folding machine, studying factors that may affect the suction channel and air suction capability, and using folding drums to provide design guidance.
