Group says remains may not be those of Russian emperor

YOKOHAMA, Japan - Tatsuo Nagai, a professor of forensics at the graduate school of Kitasato University in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture, shows results of gene testing of human remains believed to be those of Nicholas II, the last Russian emperor. Based on the test results, a group led by Nagai has claimed that the remains may likely be those of someone else.

    Copper fiber sheet commercialized by Good Eye

    Good Eye (Kiryu City, Gunma Prefecture) will release GUD Sheet, a copper fiber sheet with antibacterial and antiviral effects, in June. The company commercialized four types of masks, including one priced at 4,980 yen (excluding consumption tax). The GUD sheet is a polymer fiber covered with copper foil and coated with a visible light responsive photocatalyst. In an experiment on bacteriophage, a virus that infects bacteria, it was confirmed that rubbing a finger covered with the virus on the sheet for 30 seconds reduced the number of the virus to less than 1/1000.Professor Hideyuki Itabashi of the Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Gunma University, who also serves as the company's chairman, said, "We hope to start experiments in July. The photo shows copper fiber sheets commercialized as masks and chiefs. (Photo taken on May 19, 2020, location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)

Teresa Gawenda, a resident of the Bytom Karb district, with the Bobrek mine at the background, where extraction was temporarily suspended due to the large number of miners infected with coronavirus. Both Mrs. Teresa and her husband, who is the miner, had the symptoms of coronavirus In the middle of February. Currently, her son, also the miner, is waiting for the test results. Teresa states that the restrictions associated with coronavirus are only an excuse for closing the mine and releasing minerals. (CTK Photo/Grzegorz Klatka)

                Osaka University's compact and lightweight flexible thermoelectric conversion device

                Associate Professor Toru Sugawara of the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research, Osaka University, and Assistant Professor Kenzo Iwayano of the Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University, and their colleagues have succeeded in reducing the size and weight of a flexible thermoelectric conversion device in which semiconductor chips are mountedon a flexible substrate. The new device converts the temperature difference between the two ends of the semiconductor into electrical information, and is equipped with a high density of about 200 ultra-small semiconductor chips per square centimeter, achieving high heat recovery efficiency and operational reliability. The flexible device, which was developed in 2018, has been improved. The new device uses semiconductor chips that are precisely aligned in size through ultra-fine processing that exceeds conventional methods.

                  These cases are stored as a learning database. The robot will be able to respond to the differences between each person and each piece of clothing. The robot is a twin-armed robot with a payload of 2.3 kilograms, and it is a cooperative type, so there is no risk of injury to people even if it bumps into them while working. The placement of a camera that can respond to the sudden movement of a person is an issue, but Professor Shibata says, "In large facilities or places where the changing room can be fixed, such as hospitals, the camera can be installed on the ceiling. They aim to make improvements and put the system to practical use as soon as possible. (= December 20, 2019, location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)

                    The Graduate School of Engineering Science, Osaka University, and Toabo Corporation have developed a smart clothing (photo) that can be worn in extremely cold environments by combining natural fabric and electrodes for heart rate measurement. A research group led by the university succeeded in measuring biological data such as heart rate in an experiment conducted in the Arctic Circle over a period of about a month. It was confirmed that the garment is effective in measuring biological data and protecting against cold in extremely cold environments. This is the industry's first development of smart clothing made of natural materials. The measurement data will be used for the commercialization of smart clothing for mountain climbing and for research on the prevention of hypothermia.

                      Fully automated aseptic cell separation system from Mitsui Denki Seiki

                      Mitsui Denki Seiki (Noda City, Chiba Prefecture) has developed a fully automated aseptic cell separation system. It is characterized by the fact that it does not require human intervention and does not require facilities such as clean rooms. The device developed by Mitsui Denki Seiki draws blood or body fluids from an infusion bag directly into the main body using a large syringe without using test tubes, and separates it into multiple components to recover the desired components. The Niigata University School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Engineering of Chiba University cooperated in the demonstration tests and the design, respectively. It is 325 mm wide, 430 mm high, and 385 mm deep, and weighs 26.3 kilograms. The company will continue to aggressively develop and sell its own products, aiming for a 50% share of its own products in the future. July 9, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)
