Sewing machine for sewing fasteners without tape jointly developed by JUKI and YKK.

JUKI and YKK have jointly developed the "Airy String" zipper, which has no tape, and a sewing machine for sewing the zipper. JUKI will manufacture the sewing machines, and YKK will buy and rent the machines and sell the fasteners. The developed fastener is expected to improve operability and design by integrating with the fabric. The sewing machine has developed a new mechanism to synchronize the elements that interlock the zipper with the fabric. This eliminates the need for stitching, which is done after the tape and fabric are sewn together to prevent them from shifting, thus reducing the sewing process. The two companies have been promoting joint development since January 2017, and in March announced a device that streamlines the sewing of fasteners for jeans, resulting in a significant increase in productivity.Photo taken on June 13, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images

                Toranomon Hills Station opened to the press.

                Toranomon Hills Station opened to the press.

                Tokyo Metro will tentatively open a new station, Toranomon Hills (photo), on the Hibiya Line between Kasumigaseki and Kamiyacho on March 6. This is the first new station on the Hibiya Line in 56 years, since the entire line opened in 1964. The new station will be built in tandem with urban development of the surrounding area, which is becoming an international business and exchange hub. Kunio Sakurai, general manager of the Urban Renaissance Agency, which is in charge of the project, expressed his hope that the new station will serve as infrastructure to support the entire region. The new station, which has been under construction in time for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics to be held this summer, is scheduled to open for business in 2023.

                  Technology to etch Kai semiconductor with fluoroplastic instead of CFC gas

                  Technology to etch Kai semiconductor with fluoroplastic instead of CFC gas

                  The established technology will be used for dry etching, thin film formation and cleaning of silicon. Easy-to-handle gases such as argon and nitrogen are irradiated onto solid fluoropolymers to generate fluorine-containing gas. The gas is then used for plasma treatment. Using a proto device with electrodes developed for special equipment, the company irradiated nitrogen gas and etched a glass substrate, and was able to etch 40 nanometers in one minute. The company plans to achieve an etching speed of 200 nanometers for commercialization. Plasma is an unstable state in which electrons have been removed from molecules, and it modifies the surface of materials, improving adhesion and cleaning effects.

                    Oita Prefecture's experiment in using drones to deliver packages to remote islands

                    Oita Prefecture's experiment in using drones to deliver packages to remote islands

                    With the participation of local companies, the project aims to be put to practical use as a mechanism for dealing with the logistics and shopping needs of the aging population in remote island areas. A single-rotor drone provided by ciRobotics (Oita City) was used in the experiment. S.T.K. Technology (same) installed a luggage storage box equipped with a drone port on a solid island. Oita Prefecture has been conducting drone verification experiments in mountainous areas and other areas, but this is the first time the maritime route has been used. There are no shops or clinics on Mukujima, and the island is served by a regular service that makes one or two round trips a day, six days a week, but the annual cost of the service exceeds 10 million yen.

                      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.
