Kawasaki set out to develop a radically new type of industrial robot that overcomes these challenges. The result is the duAro, a dual-arm SCARA robot. It is small enough to t into the space of just one person, enabling it to work alongside humans. The robot comes with a user-friendly special tablet device for teaching it to perform new tasks. The controller is housed inside a wheeled platform, so the duAro can be easily moved to where it is needed. This feature gives the robot the exibility needed to respond to frequent changes in production lines. Get ready for the start of a new robot revolution.

    Shinkansen - Wikipedia 7/3/20, 10)48 AM Shinkansen The Shinkansen (Japanese: 新幹線, pronounced [ɕiŋkaꜜɰ̃ seɴ], lit. ''new trunk line''), colloquially known in English as the bullet train, is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan. Initially, it was built to connect distant Japanese regions with Tokyo, the capital, in order to aid economic growth and development. Beyond long-distance travel, some sections around the largest metropolitan areas are used as a commuter rail network.[1][2] It is operated by five Japan Railways Group companies. A lineup of JR East Shinkansen trains in October Over the Shinkansen's 50-plus year history, carrying 2012 over 10 billion passengers, there has been not a single passenger fatality or injury due to train accidents.[3] Starting with the Tōkaidō Shinkansen (515.4 km, 320.3 mi) in 1964,[4] the network has expanded to currently consist of 2,764.6 km (1,717.8 mi) of lines with maximum speeds of 240–320 km/h (150– 200 mph), 283.5 km (176.2 mi) of Mini-Shinkansen lines with a maximum speed of 130 km/h (80 mph), and 10.3 km (6.4 mi) of spur lines with Shinkansen services.[5] The network presently links most major A lineup of JR West Shinkansen trains in October cities on the islands of Honshu and Kyushu, and 2008 Hakodate on northern island of Hokkaido, with an extension to Sapporo under construction and scheduled to commence in March 2031.[6] The maximum operating speed is 320 km/h (200 mph) (on a 387.5 km section of the Tōhoku Shinkansen).[7] Test runs have reached 443 km/h (275 mph) for conventional rail in 1996, and up to a world record 603 km/h (375 mph) for SCMaglev trains in April 2015.[8] The original Tōkaidō Shinkansen, connecting Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka, three of Japan's largest cities, is one of the world's busiest high-speed rail lines.

In an assignment test based on the microsatellite allelic composition of rep- resentative wild populations of P. sieboldii from the Hokkaido to Kyushu regions of Japan, most cultivars showed the highest likelihood of derivation from wild populations in the Arakawa River floodplain. Chloro- plast DNA haplotypes of cultivars also suggested that most cultivars have come from genets originating in wild populations from the same area, but, in addition, that several are descended from genets originating in other regions.

    Copyright 2009 Paul Droubie PLAYING THE NATION: 1964 TOKYO SUMMER OLYMPICS AND JAPANESE IDENTITY BY PAUL DROUBIE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2009 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Ronald P. Toby, Chair Professor Maria Todorova Associate Professor Karen Kelsky Assistant Professor Robert T. Tierney Abstract This dissertation explores the performance and consumption of a reinvented Japanese national identity surrounding the 1964 Tokyo Summer Olympics. This event marked an important psychological turning point for many Japanese, who saw it as marking their reemergence into the world community. National identity is often hidden in the daily assumptions and practices of members of the nation. Prestige events like the Olympics bring these to the surface and make them easier to analyze as the contents for performance and consumption of Self, for both Self and Other, are prepared. Furthermore, the specifics of Japanese national identity at this time made the Olympics a near perfect venue for this. I argue that an examination of this discourse reveals several tropes of Self shared across the mainstream of Japanese national identity in the mid 1960s. The first was that Japan had rebuilt from wartime destruction and was now a global scientific and technological leader. Second, the country had a mixture of Western modernity and Japanese tradition that made it uniquely suited to be an interlocutor between West and non-West. The government, urban spaces and public manners were modern, yet culturally, Japanese engaged in a self-Orientalizing discourse.

    Annual Environmental Report 2000

    Annual Environmental Report 2000 Committee on Ecology Message from the Management Today, with the 21st century fast approaching, the JR East Group takes a serious and well- considered approach to issues of global environmental concern. For example, CO2 emission volume, particularly that involving railways and other members of the transportation sec- tor in Japan, is increasing year after year. Given that we play such a significant role in pas- senger transportation, it is imperative that we at JR East take a proactive view of this important issue. JR East established the Committee on Ecology in 1992, the year in which the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (the Earth Environment Summit) was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Over the intervening years, we have implemented a vari- ety of activities through the Committee, based on our philosophy regarding the promotion of ecological activities. This reflects the sincerity of our endeavors with regard to reconcil- ing business operations and environmental protection. Additionally, in 1996, we began publishing an annual environmental report, in order that the general public might acquire a greater awareness of our relationship with the envi- ronment and the environmental activities with which we are involved. This document is the fifth edition of the Annual Environmental Report. We have made every effort to enrich the content of the report, notably through the implementation of environmental accounting (descriptions of environmental conservation costs and benefits) so that our environmental efforts could be more fully understood. We have also had our report reviewed by a third party, Asahi & Co., in order to enhance its credibility.

    A world of enjoyment awaits in a mountainous highland playground Joshin’etsukogen Joshin’etsukogen National Park is a vast park comprising mountains and highlands, including Mt. Tanigawa, Mt. Naeba, 09 Mt. Kusatsu-Shirane, Mt. Azumaya, and Mt. Asama. The park is home to many famous peaks that are numbered National Park amongst the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains guide, including Mt. Tanigawa, with its towering rock slopes, and Mt. Asama and Mt. Kusatsu-Shirane, which are both volcanoes, thus forming a diverse mountainous landscape. In addition, the park boasts numerous volcanos and abundant onsen hot springs, and is dotted with well-established hot spring areas, such as Shima Onsen, Kusatsu Onsen, Manza Onsesn, Kazawa Onsen, Yamada Onsen, Hoshi Onsen, Tanigawa Onsen, and Yudanakashibu Onsen, which have been frequented by numerous famous writers and artists over their long histories. Cool highlands cover the sides and foothills of the mountains, and Shiga Kogen, is home to many beautiful lakes, marshes, and wetlands. Furthermore, these areas have been a pilgrimage route for mountain worship practitioners since ancient times, with pilgrims climbing Mt. Naeba, Mt. Tanigawa, and other mountains for the purpose of worship. The park offers sites for mountain-climbing and skiing in its mountainous regions, summer resort areas in its highlands, and abundant onsen hot springs, making this park one you can explore all year round however you please. ■Access Niigata Prefecture Echigo-Yuzawa Echigo- Yuzawa Station Station Mt.
