The "sea of clouds," which can only be seen when multiple conditions such as weather conditions, humidity in the atmosphere, temperature changes, mainly during early morning hours, and elevation are met, lacks established prediction technology, making it difficult to witness even when one actually goes to the location. Therefore, we have developed a technology that utilizes AI (machine learning), which has rapidly advanced in recent years, to predict sea of clouds at local tourism spots. This technology can predict sea of clouds using only weather data from the Japan Meteorological Agency's AMeDAS, making it applicable anywhere in the country as long as there is an AMeDAS observation point nearby. Please feel free to consult us first. ■ Features - Predicts the probability of sea of clouds occurring over a relatively wide area (region) - Predictions can be made based solely on data publicly available from the Japan Meteorological Agency - A system equipped with weather data acquisition means and sea of clouds prediction means - Utilizes machine learning by computers - The prediction accuracy for model cases has a hit rate of up to 81.8%

*Looking for partner companies for joint development* The blood-brain barrier (BBB) has an important function in preventing harmful substances from entering the brain and maintaining a healthy environment within it. However, due to the presence of the BBB, water-soluble drugs administered peripherally cannot be delivered to the brain, and conversely, it has not been possible to restore the function of the BBB once it has opened due to pathological conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, Yamaguchi University has established a method to artificially and reversibly open and close the BBB. By identifying the key factors involved in the opening and closing of the BBB and utilizing its physiological functions, it is now possible to reversibly open the BBB under conditions with minimal concerns about side effects, paving the way for drug delivery to the brain, which has been challenging. Additionally, restoring the function of the pathologically opened BBB is expected to improve disease conditions. <Target Diseases> - Closing an opened BBB: cerebral infarction, diabetic retinopathy, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, etc. - Opening a closed BBB: brain tumors, neurological diseases, etc. <Benefits for Companies> - The development of new, highly safe therapeutic drugs is now possible through a novel mechanism that allows for the artificial and reversible opening and closing of the BBB.

Conventional paper media feeding was done using rubber rollers and pads, which wear out over time, leading to feeding failures. To address this issue, Yamaguchi University of Science and Technology in Sanyo-Onoda City developed a paper media feeding technology that utilizes electrostatic adhesion. Since the wear of the electrostatic pads that generate electrostatic adhesion is extremely low, it is expected to maintain feeding performance even after long-term use. Additionally, by controlling the applied voltage and waveform, it is possible to change the force acting on the paper media, allowing for adaptation to changes in the conditions of the paper media or the usage environment without modifying the mechanism.
