On 11 September 2017, National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC) of Thailand, in collaboration with National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) of Japan, organized the 1st NECTEC-NICT Joint Workshop 2017 at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC). The overall objective of this Workshop are to strengthen a closer relationship and to identify mutual interests between two institutes.

“If you are a big fan of DORAEMON, you’ll know Doko-demo-Door. Doko-demo-Door allows you to go anywhere you want, likewise, the collaboration makes research whatever you think,” said Dr.Fumihiko Tomita, Chief Research & Strategy Officer, Vice President of NICT, during the workshop

The using of international cooperation mechanism is comparable to Doko-demo-Door which unlocks the door to realization of R&D on electronics and computer. Most of all, it will be an accelerator as a springboard for Thailand’s economic growth jumping out of Middle Income Trap. The eight topics of mutual interests from this workshop are as follows:

  • Silicon Photonics
  • Wireless Network
  • Cyber Security
  • Terahertz Technology
  • ICT for Marginalized Area
  • Towards Social Deployment of Advanced ICT
  • Brain-Machine Interfaces / Robotics
  • Neuroimaging Technology

Concurrently, NECTEC organized the NECTEC Annual Conference and Exhibition 2017 (NECTEC-ACE 2017) under the theme “Practical R&D: Innovation Springboard” at QSNCC. Dr.Fumihiko Tomita also delivered a keynote speech during “Smart Technology in Asia for Driving Future Economy” session on the topic of “More Healthy and Sophisticated Smart Systems – Charming ICT for Potential Users” to the public and interested audiences in this event. Seventeen NICT researchers and staffs visited exhibition booths and attended the workshop, the largest NICT delegation official visit to Thailand and NECTEC ever.

Thailand Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Master Plan (2002-2006)

Facebook Twitter

By strategically linking to IT 2010 and the Ninth National Economics and Social Development Plan, the ICT Master Plan provides guidelines for the country to reap the benefits of Information and Communication Technology in order to strengthen the nation’s competitiveness as well as to enhance the quality of life of the citizens.

The National ICT Master Plan envisions Thailand to become the regional center for ICT development and business, in particular for software technology. Besides, it aims to provide entrepreneurs and citizens with equitable access to information. Direct benefits of ICT are manifested throughout the Thai economy, adding value to products and services of every sector, including ICT sector, as well as strengthening their competitiveness in the global market. ICT becomes instrumental in the enhancement of Thai quality of life as country moves towards a Knowledge-based Society.

The National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC), the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology have joined a project to develop national ICT indicators which aimed at collecting statistics and data necessary for analysis of the nation’s ICT situation.

In the second series of ICT indicators, NECTEC conducts an online survey of the Internet users on an annual basis to study their profiles. The questionnaire is posted on NECTEC web site and at least five more popular ones around September-October each year. The number of respondents has been increasing every year, up to more than 15,000 for the past two years.

The National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC), the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology have joined a project to develop national ICT indicators which aimed at collecting statistics and data necessary for analysis of the nation’s ICT situation.

Work on this project has been divided into three stages. The first stage involves the deliberation and selection of which data, statistics, and indicators should be collected, in order to benefit monitoring and assessment as stipulated in the ICT Master Plan. The second phase involves the collection of current national data and statistics about ICT, while the third phase involves studies of approaches to the collection of data and statistics as yet unavailable.

ABSTRACT:

The sequential stimulator the treatment of dysphagic patients comprises a unit which is capable of detecting a swallowing signal from the glossal or temporalis muscle SEMG. When a swallowing signal is recognized, a trigger signal is sent to the stimulation generation unit to release a high voltage stimuli sequentially to the suprahyoid muscles or the masseter muscles and the pharyngeal muscles in order to assist in the elevation of the larynx. This enables the pharyngeal lumen to open more widely so that food can pass through the patient’s pharynx and into the oesophagus more easily during swallowing. Thus the sequential stimulator is a device for assisting swallowing in patients with dysphagia due to a variety of causes, for instance, brain injury, cerebrovascular accident, injury of the cervical nerves, muscles weakness, or old age. The stimulator is operative only when the patient attempts to swallow and provides a physiologic stimulus and provides a means of immediate relief of the swallowing difficulty. However, the device is also useful for physical therapy whereby the muscles under the chin, the masseter muscles and the pharyngeal muscles can be reeducated to contract in the normal coordinated sequence.

  • Status: Patented

ABSTRACT:

Optical touch switches are implemented based on the use of light total internal reflection and light scattering concepts. The optical touch switch basically consists of a light source, a light guide, a photodetector, and an electronic controller. The fingertip touching on the touching surface of the optical touch switch leads to the change in electrical current produced by the photodetector. As a result, the electronic control box senses this change of electrical current and allows the electrical load to stay at the desired state. Key advantages include ease of implementation, prevention of the light beam incident directly on the user’s eyes, and ability to accept both strong and weak mechanical forces from users.
