Annual Report 2006–07

研究 Research 47 The high standard lectures, seminars and discussion brought relevant cutting edge information and latest technological advancements to the participants. These close interactions facilitated not only in- depth discussion and enhanced scientific exchange but also the establishment of long-term partnerships. Institute of Science and Technology One interesting research example of the Hong Kong Centre of Sports Medicine and Sports Science under the Institute of Science and Technology is the development of the sprain-free sports shoe which prevents ankle sprain injury during running and jogging. It develops an in-shoe sensor system that detects external force and human ankle motion during sports. The system provides real-time ankle torque measurement and sprain recognition by an in-shoe sensor system during running for further sprain risk identification, and helps the decision to trigger corrective motion while sprain occurs in the final sprain-free sports shoe. Research Output Publications The outcome of research takes the form of conference papers, books, monographs, reviews, or articles published in prestigious international and local journals. For 2006–07, over 6,540 items of research output were recorded, including 2,075 conference papers, 2,807 journal publications, 833 scholarly books, monographs and chapters, 72 creative and literary works, consulting reports and case studies, and 755 other outputs. Patents As of 30 June 2007, CUHK has issued 261 licenses which involve patented technologies, copyrightable materials and know-hows. Also, CUHK and its staff members have secured six registered trademarks and 114 patents, covering diverse fields in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, materials science, information technology, and medical technology. 消化疾病研究所 消化疾病研究所主力研究可供早期診斷消化系 統腫瘤的標誌物。年內，該所人員發表了兩篇 關於胃癌和肝癌早期診斷的論文，刊登在期刊 Gastroenterology 。 研究所與數個亞洲頂級中心成立協作組織，鑽研自 然孔口導管內窺鏡手術；該所並擔任亞太區的協調 中心。 植物分子生物學及農業生物科技研究所 植物分子生物學及農業生物科技研究所於二零零七 年七月三至七日舉行第六屆海峽兩岸植物分子生 物學及生物科技學術研討會，吸引逾一百七十人參 加，包括兩岸三地大學及研究院有關範疇的頂尖科 學家、年輕研究人員和業界人士。 大會邀得四十五位知名的植物分子生物和農業生物 科技科學家，以及區內的決策者主講，給與會者帶 來最新的資訊與科技，不但促進交流討論，也有助 建立長遠的夥伴關係。 理工研究所 理工研究所轄下的香港運動醫學及科學研究中心， 進行了一項實用有趣的研究，便是設計有助防止跑 步時扭傷足踝的智能跑鞋。鞋子內置一個監察外在 作用力及足踝動作的傳感系統，即時測量踝關節外 翻力矩，從而識別外翻受傷的危機，最後啟動防止 扭傷的修正機制。 ޢ Ӡι׮ 出版 發表專業論文是研究成果的一種。中大的研究成果 屢獲本地和國際權威期刊刊載。以二零零六至零七 年度計算，教研人員共發表了六千五百多項專論， 包括二千零七十五篇會議論文、二千八百零七篇期 刊文章、八百三十三項研究著作與專題文章，七十 二項原創與文學作品、顧問報告、個案研究，以及 七百五十五項其他成果。 專利權 截至二零零七年六月三十日，中大共發出二百六十 一項授權，包括專利技術、版權資料及實踐技術。 同時，中大及其教研人員共取得六項註冊商標及一 百一十四項專利，涵蓋藥物、生物技術、材料科 學、資訊科技和醫療技術等範疇。
