Aichi Sangyo (Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo) and Shibaura Institute of Technology have started a joint research project to manufacture mass-produced products using metal 3D printers. Aichi Sangyo (Shinagawa, Tokyo) and Shibaura Institute of Technology have started a joint research project to manufacture mass-produced products using metal 3D printers. Overseas, mass production using metal 3D printers has already started, but in Japan, it is still in its infancy. In Japan, 3D printers are mostly used for prototyping and development, but not for mass production, because of the risk of internal problems during molding and the low accuracy of surface finish. Measurement and evaluation methods for processed materials have not been established in Japan. Therefore, through joint research, they will try to solve these problems.

    Moss Food Service's experiment to introduce "Slow Cash Register" using Orihime

    Moss Food Service's experiment to introduce "Slow Cash Register" using Orihime

    On April 21, Moss Food Service disclosed to the press an experiment to introduce a "slow cash register" using Orihime (photo), an alter ego robot from ORIY Laboratory (Minato-ku, Tokyo), at the Moss Burger Osaki store (Shinagawa-ku) from April 27. While conversing with customers, the operators move Orihime with their personal computers or smart phones and also input orders. The order is transferred to the store via the Internet and the order is completed. The operator, Hiroto Takehisa, 19, a resident of Osaka Prefecture, said, "The operation is not difficult. I will have fun while doing it. The experiment will run from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays until the end of August. Based on the results of this experiment, Moss Food Service plans to conduct other experiments within fiscal 2020, including drive-through order handling and meal delivery operations using self-propelled robots.

        KM Biologics begins development of vaccine for novel coronavirus

        KM Biologics begins development of vaccine for novel coronavirus

        KM Biologics (Kita Ward, Kumamoto City) has started to develop a vaccine for a new coronavirus infection. At a press conference held on April 25, President Nagasato said, "Our strength lies in the fact that we have skilled technicians and facilities from our days at the Research Institute for Chemotherapy and Serotherapy (KAKETSUKEN). As a member of the Meiji Group, we will do our utmost to expand this business. The new drug will be developed jointly with the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, the Institute of Medical Science of the University of Tokyo, and the National Institute of Biomedical Innovation, Health and Nutrition. The company will consider using its Kikuchi Research Center in Kikuchi City, Kumamoto Prefecture, and its Koshi Plant in Koshi City, Kumamoto Prefecture, which are capable of producing vaccines for 57 million new influenza cases.

          A low-cost face shield invented by Osaka University and Charman

          A low-cost face shield invented by Osaka University and Charman

          The shape of the frame is based on a widely used design, with clips on both ends. We designed several types of frames, including a small size for women and children, and a structure that can be attached to a stationery clip when the accuracy of the 3D printer cannot be secured. The shield part by the file can be cut with scissors if you are concerned about fogging or collision with the surrounding area. Transparent book covers can also be used and are disposable. There is a worldwide shortage of protective gear, and in New York City, the U.S., it was reported that treatment activities were carried out wearing garbage bags. Professor Nakajima said, ???It???s best if we can use genuine products, but we need to think about using familiar items as substitutes when there???s a shortage.? The photo shows Professor Nakajima demonstrating the use of a face shield with a file. (Photo taken on April 3, 2020, location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)
            Tohoku University and TEPCO to conduct joint research on decommissioning

            Tohoku University and TEPCO to conduct joint research on decommissioning

            The term is five years. The division will conductresearch in a wide range of fields to solve various technical problems at the decommissioning site, including evaluation technology to detect the aging deterioration of structures. With the aim of fostering human resources, a CFReND branch office will be established at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant site this summer. On-site exchanges of opinions between engineers at the decommissioning site and Tohoku University faculty and graduate students will be promoted. Nobuyoshi Hara, vice president of Tohoku University (photo at right), says, "We will continue our efforts to promote decommissioning.

              Professor Inoue of University of Tokyo, announce the identification of a new coronavirus drug candidate

              Professor Junichiro Inoue and his colleagues at the University of Tokyo's Institute of Medical Science held a press conference on April 18 and announced that they had identified nafamostat. Nafamostat has been used for more than 30 years in Japan, and early clinical trials are expected to be conducted. The clinical research is expected to start by the beginning of April in cooperation with the National Center for Global Health and Medicine and others. When the new corona infects humans, proteins on the surface of the virus and proteins on the surface of human cells bind to each other, causing the outer membrane of the virus to fuse with the membrane of human cells. As a result, ribonucleic acid (RNA), which is the genetic information of the new corona, enters the human cell, and the virus multiplies.

                      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.
