About a month ago, I took the Sanyo Electric Railway to the Hanshin Electric Railway express train from Himeji to Osaka on a Sunday. The important point here is that it was a "Sunday." The decisive difference from usual days is that there were "families" on board. I had somewhat anticipated this, but nowadays, almost 100% of parents are completely absorbed in their smartphones, ignoring their children who might be standing behind the driver's seat, shouting, or doing anything else. In fact, they even hand another smartphone to their child, effectively using it as a babysitter. At this rate, it's no wonder that these children will grow up to be adults with communication disorders.

In conversations with engineers in the manufacturing industry, I have increasingly received the following inquiries: - Confusion in interpreting experimental results - Taking time to organize hypotheses regarding the causes of troubles - Uncertainty about how to evaluate the impact of changes in raw materials or processes - Anxiety about the judgment of results from external testing organizations Considering the themes being discussed internally, I thought, "Could there be an opportunity to provide support as a third-party engineer for brainstorming?" Therefore, we have decided to establish a trial "Technical Consultation Opportunity." 【Overview of Technical Consultation】 - Target: Engineers and research and development personnel in the manufacturing industry, etc. - Content: Organizing experimental plans, interpreting results, organizing trouble hypotheses, etc. - Format: Online (approximately 60 minutes) - Cost: Free for the first consultation - Recruitment: Limited to 5 companies *Please note that we will take sufficient care to respect the confidentiality of each company's information and will not disclose anything externally. We hope you can consult with us with confidence. This will be more of a space for open exchange of opinions between researchers and engineers rather than a sales proposal. If you have any themes you are currently considering, please feel free to reach out. If you are interested, please contact us with "Request for Technical Consultation," and we will provide you with further details.

"There are gods who discard and gods who pick up." This was a phrase my father often used when we went to a model train shop that dealt in second-hand items. It is truly the case that gifts, which have continued to receive abnormally low evaluations even from antique dealers and recycling shops, have found their way to someone who genuinely wanted them, and it is indeed a joy, truly embodying the saying "there are gods who discard and gods who pick up."

Many university officials respond immediately with "I'm too busy with research to deal with this." Moreover, it's indefinite... It seems that there are many people in society who are convinced that "only I am busy." Especially, I am reminded of how many people think that someone like me, who is not making any profit at all = has no work = is just idly passing time. While it is true that I am not making any profit at all... However, what I need to be careful about is that I do not know what circumstances the other person might be hiding.

In the workforce, it is said that about 12% are in sales positions, which can be considered a relatively high ratio. At a company I used to belong to, employees in the sales department would celebrate even a slight increase in market share in a very niche industry, but they had no interest in applying their success to broader contexts, merely laughing condescendingly as if to say, "Your thinking is so rigid!" For example, imagine there are elementary school brothers where the one who scores better on the Japanese language test gets to eat three-quarters of a not-so-fancy chiffon cake from a candy store, while the one who scores worse gets one-quarter. Furthermore, if they score over 30 points on the math test, they would be allowed to eat an entire high-end tart topped with lots of fruit from the neighboring cake shop. What did the brothers do? Despite fiercely competing for scores between 90 and 100 in Japanese, they showed no interest in the high-end tart and consistently scored only between 10 and 20 in math, resulting in "never having eaten the high-end tart."

It seems that in archaeology, it is widely practiced to protect metal artifacts with a resin coating agent, but surprisingly, if that coating agent decomposes, it can lead to oxidation and corrode the artifacts.

This is a discussion about the relationship between the processing temperature, molecular structure, and physical properties such as dielectric constant of silsesquioxane. It seems that the newly synthesized silsesquioxane showed a decrease in both dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent as the processing temperature increased from 100°C to 200°C to 300°C.

What exactly is a "working adult"? Some definitions are not found in the dictionary. Even when they are, they can be quite vague. Are we not mistakenly thinking that being a working adult means being admirable or important? Do people follow a path from preschooler to child, to student, to student, to working adult, and then to non-working adult? Is being a working adult really that special among these stages?

Nowadays, there is a lot of talk about "regional revitalization" everywhere, but I wonder if, in reality, it might be more about "regional reproduction." Last month, I attended a small panel discussion. There, the discussion was centered around the idea of "large companies, let's invest in this new business of regional revitalization and profit together!" completely disregarding the actual existing residents and newcomers.

When asked, "What do you do as a self-employed person?" I always respond, "I'm a suspicious technology consultant." Perhaps because I'm from the Kansai region, this answer tends to elicit laughter and creates a friendly atmosphere. There is a significant difference between me and many consultants out there. I have set up a laboratory within my company, where I not only talk but also actively engage in hands-on work. I aim to overcome concerns that consultants are often seen as merely speaking convincingly, leaving people unsure whether what they say is true or false, by utilizing the laboratory. Speaking of the laboratory, I have designed it based on my past experiences to suit my preferences. That's the story.
