Morix IC card with fingerprint authentication

By downloading an application (application software) to a PC, smartphone or tablet terminal, users can send and receive crypto assets. The system is expected to be used with seven virtual currencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, and will also support ERC20-standard tokens in the future. President Kubota said, "We can improve the security by excluding identity theft. The company is also developing an IC card with a fingerprint authentication function without a battery as a payment card with a fingerprint authentication sensor for credit cards and other financial fields. The IC card has an electronic paper display on the upper right and a fingerprint sensor on the lower left.

Current Toshiba "SCiB" products

Toshiba is planning to commercialize the next generation of its proprietary SCiB lithium-ion rechargeable batteries in fiscal 2020 or later, with an energy density that is more than 50% higher than that of conventional products. The company has already developed a prototype cell at its research laboratory and will establish mass production technology. While SCiBs are strong in terms of longevity and fast charging performance, energy density, which leads to higher battery capacity, has been an issue. The company aims to expand its business by focusing on hybrid vehicles (HV), railroads and stationary applications. However, in the lithium-ion battery market as a whole, major manufacturers in Japan, China and South Korea are competing with each other. Toshiba's strategy is to target a "niche top" market by narrowing down the target market because price competition is not in Toshiba's favor.

SCREEN SPE Works' tablet powder removal machine

Screen Speworks (Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture) has developed a tablet powder remover that removes powder that adheres to tablets when they are formed. The machine can process 300,000 tablets in one hour and reduce the adhesion rate to about 0.5% per tablet. The selling price is still under adjustment, and the company plans to sell the machine to pharmaceutical companies and confectionery manufacturers. When raw powder is compressed to form tablets, uncompressed powder adheres to the surface of the tablet. The powder may adhere to the lens of the camera during inspection, causing problems. The powder removal machine developed by SCREEN SPE Works uses air to remove the powder, so there is less risk of damage. Atsuhiro Hayashi, leader of the New Business Development Group, said, "Before we can commercialize the product, we need to have it evaluated by actual users. How to develop the market is our future challenge. Photo taken on July 25, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images

Toshiba Information Systems Develops Voice-Controlled Work Support System

Toshiba Information Systems (Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture) has developed a work support system called "Shinan Meijin," which allows users to view manuals and other information only by voice operation. The system can be used by registering manuals and work checklists in advance. Just by giving voice instructions, the system displays the manual and other information on a wearable device in the form of glasses, and allows the user to move the position, zoom in and out, and so on. It is expected to be used in situations where both hands are often occupied, such as at factory work sites. Toshiba Information Systems is also involved in products that use artificial intelligence (AI) to support work. In addition to the display and operation of manuals and other documents, voice instructions can be given for taking photos and videos with the camera mounted on the glasses-type device.

Murata Manufacturing's all-individual battery that has started shipping samples

Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will startmass production of all solid-state batteries using ceramics technology within fiscal 2019. The company will build a new mass production line in the battery-related production building at Yasu Plant (Yasu City, Shiga Prefecture). The production capacity is planned to be 100,000 units per month for the time being. The capacity of the prototype is more than 10 milliampere hours, 100 times higher than that of other companies' products, the highest level in the industry, and the company will accelerate its expansion into energy-related markets, including the lithium-ion rechargeable battery business acquired from Sony in 2005. The company will mass-produce surface-mounted "ceramic all-solid-state batteries" that use ceramic materials as the electrolyte. In addition to converting its manufacturing facilities for multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs)(Photo taken on June 13, 2019, location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)

Filling machine with Yushin's FSS installed

Yushin has released an image inspection system called "FSS" that immediately detects heat seal defects that occur when filling sachets containing liquids used for food and other purposes. Compared to manual inspection work, this system saves manpower and costs, and increases the accuracy of inspection. The FSS uses a camera to inspect the sealing part of a liquid filling and packaging machine when it is filled with liquid and the edges of the film are sealed by heating. The inspection area can be determined by setting in advance the size of the mechanism called the "sealing plate" that applies heat to the film. If wrinkles, bites, foaming, or other defects that could lead to liquid leakage are found in the sealing area, the sachet is discharged. The machine's built-in discharge device can be used, or a separate mechanism can be installed. Photo taken on May 10, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images
