Annual Report 2012–13

30 開拓人類知識的版圖 工程學生研發手語翻譯系統奪冠 計算機科學與工程學系三名本科生舒劍 飛、陳俊杰、劉瑞峰在徐強教授指導下，利 用微軟的 Kinect 體感技術感應器記錄手語 手勢的三維坐標，研發出嶄新的中文手語 翻譯系統。他們憑藉這套系統參加上海舉 行的「 2012 英特爾盃大學生電子設計競賽 嵌入式系統專題邀請賽」，勇奪全場最高 殊榮英特爾盃，令中大成為全港首所兩度 贏得該獎的院校。 中大生奪國際遺傳工程機器設計競 賽亞洲區金獎 由九名生命科學學院學生、六名工程學院 學生及五名教練組成的中大遺傳工程機器 隊伍，在 2012 年國際遺傳工程機器設計競 賽（ iGEM ）亞洲區比賽中奪得金獎。 中大隊伍的參賽研究項目名為「見光不回 頭」，把能夠辨別顏色的蛋白注入細菌內， 為原本看不見東西的細菌加上可感光的「眼 睛」。此構思可利用不同光譜吸引或者分離 細菌，有助污水處理，如吸收污染物或提高 分解污染物的效益。中大隊伍同時引進了 能注入基因片斷進行殺菌的新生物零件， 提高生物安全性，可防止抗藥惡菌肆虐， 亦可阻止轉基因細菌擴散，具醫療應用的 價值。 Engineering Students Win Intel Cup Under the supervision of Prof. Xu Qiang, Shu Jianfei, Chan Chun-kit, Liu Ruifeng from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering developed the ‘Chinese Sign Language Recognition and Translation System’ with Microsoft Kinect. With this innovative design, the team won the championship in the 2012 Intel Cup Undergraduate Electronic Design Contest—Embedded System Design Invitational Contest held in Shanghai, making CUHK the first local university to have won the contest twice. CUHK Students Win Gold Medal at iGEM Asia A team consisting of nine students from the School of Life Sciences, six students from the Faculty of Engineering and five instructors won a gold medal again at the 2012 iGEM Asia Regional Jamboree. In their award-winning project ‘Light of No Return’, the CUHK team has created bacteria harbouring rhodopsin to attract cells with different light spectra for cell sorting. The idea is to allow bacteria to ‘see’ and sense light source, so that light could be used to attract or separate bacteria. This technology may be used to improve the efficacy of chemical treatment such as water sewage treatment. The team has also successfully made new biobricks with introduced ‘bacterial killing’ DNA to enhance biosafety. These bacterial killing biobricks can enhance biosafety by preventing the proliferation of transformed bacteria and antibiotic resistant bacteria, which are also known as the super bugs. 右起：舒劍飛、陳俊杰、 劉瑞峰及徐強教授 From right: Shu Jianfei, Chan Chun-kit, Liu Ruifeng and Prof. Xu Qiang
