    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.

      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.

        NEC's vector-based simulated annealing machine

        NEC's vector-based simulated annealing machine

        NEC is making a full-scale entry into the quantum computing domain. From April to June 2020, the company will launch a co-creation service to solve combinatorial optimization problems, including the use of annealing machines that employ the SX Aurora Tsubasa vector supercomputer. Prior to this, the company will establish a new 20-person Quantum Computing Promotion Office in January 2008 to promote the development of applications and technologies through joint demonstrations with customers. The company plans to invest about 1 billion yen in Canada's D-Wave Systems for collaboration. On the other hand, the quantum annealing system will be based on a domestically developed machine jointly developed with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and D-wave, which will be a collaborative partner. The joint development with AIST is currently verifying the operation of a basic quantum cell. Photo taken on December 20, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images

          Testing automatic brakes at Nihon Denki

          On the 7th, Nihon Denki, in collaboration with the Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI), held the "ADAS Technology Techno Fair" at the JARI Jori Test Center in Jori-machi, Ibaraki Prefecture. On the 7th, the test course was used for demonstrations of advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) testing equipment. Euro NCAP plans to add tests that assume complex situations after 2020. Euro NCAP plans to add tests that assume complex situations after 2020, aiming to further improve the safety of automated driving. The number of users of the center is increasing due to the growing interest in ADAS. On the other hand, the lack of permanent testing equipment has been an issue. The center will be equipped with multiple testing devices. Mr. Tanfeng Liu, President of Nihon Denshi, considers ADAS to be an important project and plans to actively hold the fair in the future.

            Thermoelectric power generation module developed by NEDO and NIMS.

            The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Aisin Seiki, and Ibaraki University announced on April 21 that they have developed a thermoelectric power generation module, which is composed of an alloy of easily available elements such as iron, aluminum, and silicon, and converts temperature differences into electricity. The company has developed a prototype communication device that incorporates the module, and confirmed that it can generate electricity and communicate with a temperature difference of 5 degrees Celsius. The temperature and humidity information was transmitted via Bluetooth, a short-range wireless communication standard, and was successfully displayed in real time on a tablet terminal screen.
