Top share in Japan with shipment amounts and assorted merchandise. Perceptional change; panoramic X-ray equipment Panoramic X-ray equipment that triggered the company’s progress was produced due to perceptional change to rotate equipment, not a patient, and has become an epoch-making equipment for the company. Development of new products considering the needs of universities and laboratories Development of new products is generated from solving requests from university and laboratories. Recumbent panoramic X-ray equipment is one example of its excellent technology. Thanks to this equipment, it became available to take x-ray radiograph of the head and neck for disabled patients due to Down’s syndrome, and as a result, it was revealed that existing primary teeth should not be extracted because of congenital aplasia of permanent teeth. Development of ultimate 3D panoramic X-ray equipment In order to take clearer images of invisible areas, 3D image, optional MPR image (cross sectional image), and the integration of software with various image processing and software to safely manage patients information, allow for the provision of high quality images and image processing with ease. It supports improved treatments, such as implant treatments and treatment of periodontal disease. 3D Panoramic X-ray Apparatus PSR9000N 3D images 229 Kataoka Top niche manufacturing Corporation of YAG laser processing machine or battery testing 140 Kuze Tsukiyama-cho, Minami-Ward, Kyoto City equipment Kyoto Prefecture Established in 1968 TEL +81-75-933-1101 Koji Kataoka http://www.kataoka-ss.co.jp President Research and development-oriented company that focused its resources to the field of charging batteries (rechargeable batteries) by supporting the advanced information society and has achieved a 50% share of the global market of laser welders with lithium ion batteries Focus on promising laser technology Laser technology is the most advanced technology that is used in a wide range of fields, such as welding, cutting, drilling and measuring, and is promising technology. President Koji Katayama aiming to be an industrial electronics manufacturer used to manufacture industrial controllers or robots, but it was unprofitable because they were only producing one item. Then, after Japan’s economic bubble burst, he made laser processing machines, liquid crystal manufacturing equipment, and battery testing equipment as strategic products, and eager to become the best company in Japan even in a niche, he focused on the advanced technology of laser technology. Establishment of unique leading laser laboratory Collaborating with Lasag, a laser manufacturer in Switzerland since 1986, Kataoka Corporation independently developed laser processors, but since the establishment of the leading laser laboratory in 2001, it has been independently developing oscillators. Since the development and manufacture of advanced laser technology requires large investments, it is difficult for small to medium-sized companies to compete with large companies, but it aggressively engages in developing for application and acquired top share, although a niche. Specializing in applicable field of rechargeable battery market and a substantial share in welding machines The field focused is the market for batteries for electronic devices that are being miniaturized. As is the case with mobile phones or personal computers, chargeable secondary batteries are incorporated in small electronic devices. A case for such secondary batteries consists of aluminum and a highly precise laser welding machine is used to weld the cover of the case. Kataoka Corporation possessed a 75% share of the domestic market and a 50% share of the global market for such laser welding machines, which has achieved the position as the world’s top manufacturer. Also top share in battery testing equipment Considering that long time it takes for inspection prior to shipping large amounts of secondary batteries, charging and Yag laser processing machine discharging testing equipment for batteries was developed, and top share in the overseas market has been ascertained.

  • Japan (Korea) Travelogue April 9 to April 30, 2016
    JAPAN (KOREA) TRAVELOGUE APRIL 9 TO APRIL 30, 2016 Perhaps a few words of explanation for why I've put Korea in parentheses. I have two reasons: (1) Our Tauck tour begins in Kyoto, but this city has no international airport for direct flights from the U.S. The closest large airport is in Osaka, but it has no non-stop flights from Seattle. One choice for us is to fly non-stop to Tokyo and then on to Osaka. But it turns out that it is enormously cheaper to fly Korean Air from Seattle to Seoul and then from Seoul to Osaka. So ... we will be in Korea, but only for about two hours on the way to Japan and for another two hours on our return to Seattle. (2) The 14-day Tauck tour that we've signed up for ("Cruising the Land of the Rising Sun") begins in Kyoto and terminates in Tokyo; the ship makes port at eight locations in Japan and one in South Korea, so this justifies my listing the latter country in the title, but only parenthetically. Does the ship make its brief Korean stop just for the fun of it? Certainly not. Maritime law requires it! For the details, vide infra (which is Latin for see below in less highfalutin English, p. 22). In the days just before our departure, both Lee and I have come down with colds, complicated by attacks of hay fever more severe than any we've ever before experienced. Aside from the sneezing and wheezing (nice rhyme, eh?), our eyes are swollen and filled with tears that leak continually and make seeing difficult; also, our eyes itch and burn.

  • Guideline for Use of Research Activity Funds 【Introduction】
    May, 2021 Guideline for Use of Research Activity Funds 【Introduction】 ① Funds for research activities are from the national treasury (based on national tax), and suitable use is obligatory. Purchases for personal items and misappropriation, requests for personal travel expenses, and fabricated business trips will not only lead to a request for the return of funds, but students may even be subject to punishment. In addition, an audit of expenditures may be required with student cooperation for the explanation of expenses. ② The submission deadline is strictly adhered to. In the case of late submission, please note that the expense usage will not be approved. Please submit the application form for research activity expenses by e-mail to your research supervisor or your main supervisor (hereinafter referred to as your "academic advisor").

    History and Culture of Uji Green Tea Tea Drinking Culture The various tea drinking cultures around the world can be roughly classified into the following types: the black tea culture (fermented tea) in the United Kingdom; semi-fermented tea culture, including oolong tea, in China; and the green tea culture in Japan. All of these types of tea originated in China. In accordance with the consumer tastes and preferences of each country, the quality of tea has improved and different drinking methods have been devised, resulting in the formation of diverse tea drinking cultures. In the United Kingdom, people have long enjoyed black tea by adding milk, sugar or flavoring agents, and in various other ways. This has led to a variety of styles within black tea culture, including various tea-serving utensils and settings. Concerning green tea, matcha tea (powdered green tea) was introduced to Japan towards the end of the 12th century. Through the invention of the oishita (covered) cultivation method, matcha tea was refined to have a richer taste and a deep green color. The production and consumption of matcha tea were promoted by the rulers of the time, and the culture of the tea ceremony flourished mainly among the warrior class. Meanwhile, a method of making sencha tea (non-powdered green tea) was developed in Ujitawara in the 18th century. In addition to its refreshing flavor as well as astringency and bitterness, sencha tea features a savory taste imparted by an amino acid. Sencha tea became widely popular, creating a tea drinking culture for the literati and common people alike.
