【Advanced Research Supporting Aircraft Lightning Protection Technology】 Aircraft may pass through thunderstorm areas during operation and are estimated to be struck by lightning 1 to 2 times per year. In recent years, the adoption of CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic), a lightweight and high-strength material, has been advancing in aircraft. However, it has the challenge of lower electrical conductivity compared to metals, making it easier for lightning currents to concentrate locally. Professor Hiroki Saito from the Advanced Materials Strength Science Research Center at Tohoku University conducts artificial lightning strike tests aimed at improving the lightning resistance of CFRP, analyzing damage behaviors such as arc discharge, resin decomposition, and interlayer delamination. To capture phenomena that change on a microsecond scale during the tests, high-speed cameras from NAC are used to visualize the moment of the lightning strike with high precision, advancing the acquisition of foundational data that contributes to the safety enhancement of next-generation aircraft. 【For case studies, click here】 https://www.nacinc.jp/column/category/20260422.html

From July 15 (Tuesday) to July 20 (Sunday), 2025, the "42nd Daihatsu Japan Open 2025 Badminton Championships" was held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. We would like to report on the motion capture experience session conducted by Yonex Co., Ltd. at the venue. During the experience session, participants were asked to swing three different types of rackets from different generations, focusing on whether there were differences in their top speeds. The measurement was conducted using the same Raptor-12HS system utilized at the Yonex Performance Innovation Center (Blue Lab). This was a valuable opportunity to experience the research equipment that is not currently open to the public and to see what kind of measurements are being conducted! ---[Yonex Co., Ltd.

On November 6th (Thursday) to 7th (Friday), 2025, we held the "Human Body Day 2025" at the NAC Image Technology Akasaka Multi-Purpose Space. We have uploaded videos of the highlights from each company and the presentations that took place on the day to our website. We encourage you to take a look. ---[Report on Human Body Day 2025 is here]------------------- https://info.nacinc.jp/jintaiday2025-report ------------------------------------------------------------------------- On the day of the event, participants were able to experience a wide range of products in a hands-on session format, including motion capture, force plates, eye tracking, and human body analysis software. We received numerous comments from attendees expressing high satisfaction, saying, "It was great to gain various information all at once," which makes us very happy. NAC Image Technology will continue to provide "valuable products to our customers." We hope you will join us for our next event as well.

We exhibited at "Photonix (Photon and Laser Technology Exhibition)" held at Makuhari Messe from November 12 (Wednesday) to 14 (Friday), 2025. We sincerely thank many customers for visiting us during the event. At our booth, we showcased the following: - Point measurement using coaxial imaging of laser processing heads - Visualization of welding conditions and temperature measurement - Visualization of gas using digital Schlieren We have published an overview of the exhibition and example videos as a report. Please take a look at it during this opportunity. ---Photonix Exhibition Report here------------------- https://info.nacinc.jp/photonix2025.html ---------------------------------------------------------------- NAC Image Technology will continue to provide "valuable products for our customers" at academic conferences and exhibitions. When you visit, please be sure to stop by our booth.

At Nack Image Technology, we have developed a system called "Pupil Reaction Analysis KIKU-NAC" that can measure "what people are paying attention to." This system determines and visualizes items of interest based on pupil and gaze data. --KIKU-NAC can be utilized in the following fields---- ・Content evaluation in marketing ・Assessment of health conditions in industrial sectors ・Evaluation of autonomic nervous system in the medical field -------------------------------- For data measurement and analysis, we recommend our measurement outsourcing service. Dedicated engineers for eye tracking will handle the measurement and analysis.
