  • Facilitation of Information Transfer on Chemicals in Products
    Facilitation of Information Transfer on Chemicals in Products The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) developed ‘chemSHERPA’ [kémʃéərpə] as a new information transfer scheme for chemicals in products throughout their supply chains. METI hopes that the dissemination of chemSHERPA may contribute to reduce the workload of both providers and recipients of the information. From the beginning of the development of chemSHERPA, METI has been in communication with international bodies such as the IEC and the IPC, etc., with the aim of developing chemSHERPA into not only a Japanese standard but also an International standard. To make it a de-facto standard, METI has introduced this scheme to international organizations and governments of other countries for their active use. The Joint Article Management Promotion Consortium (JAMP) is a governing body for chemSHERPA from April 2016 and see a shift to chemSHERPA. We believe many companies are preparing towards implementing chemSHERPA. Based on the efforts mentioned above, the following companies and company groups have agreed with the dissemination of chemSHERPA, and METI will continue to work with JAMP and companies to spread the use of chemSHERPA to internal as well as external supply chains as needed.(Please contact us if any company or company group has interest in putting its name below.) It should be noted, the use of the provision of data entry support tools is free of charge in principle with the aim of promoting wider use of chemSHERPA.

  • Popular Storage Device with Fujifilm Quality the Xd-Picture Card™ Is A
    Popular storage device with Fujifilm quality The xD-Picture Card™ is a newly- developed ultra-compact storage media that is set to be a standard in the future of digital imaging. Despite its tiny dimensions, it boasts incredible storage capacities. : : : 16MB - - - N072980A 32MB - - - N072990A 64MB - - - N073000A 128MB - - - N073010A 256MB - - - N073020A *Compressed image size varies depending on the subject being photographed, therefore the number of images that can be recorded on a card may vary. Development of the xD-Picture Card™ Ultra-Compact Digital Camera Memory Media Q: What does 'xD' actually mean? A: It was inspired by 'eXtreme digital', suggesting the excellence of this new memory media for recording, storing and transporting audiovisual information. Q: What is the rationale for this new format? A: There is a consumer demand for greater memory capacity, as well as the development of smaller and more innovative digital camera designs. Also, speed of storage is increasingly an issue as large image files and movie files become more and more common. Q: Which companies were involved in the development of the xD- Picture Card™? A: The card format was jointly developed by Fujifilm and Olympus. Q: Will Fujifilm cameras accept the Olympus xD-Picture Card™, and vice versa?
