Optical thermal expansion measuring instrument for demanding research and development and manufacturing technology labs.

The "ODP 868," a result of over 20 years of research and development on optical testing devices for analyzing the thermomechanical behavior of materials, enables sample analysis that surpasses the limitations of conventional heating microscopes. With its multifunctionality, the ODP 868 is a highly innovative tool suitable for optimizing industrial processes related to manufacturing, research and development, and thermal cycles. The heating microscope mode uses a 5Mpix high-resolution camera to analyze the physical behavior of materials during industrial firing cycles. Through practical morphometrics, it calculates and visualizes various characteristic temperatures and parameters selected by the user in real-time during analysis. The ODP 868 can analyze samples of a wide range of shapes and sizes (for example, measuring 3mm and 10mm samples simultaneously) and can analyze up to 8 ISO standard-sized samples at the same time.

Introducing the "DIL802/802L," capable of high-precision dual sample measurement.

The DIL 803 is a dual-sample dilatometer that maximizes productivity by measuring two samples simultaneously. It can measure in vacuum or inert gas environments, while the DIL 803L is specialized for measurements in air. The horizontally arranged furnace ensures uniform temperature and eliminates the effects of air convection. A high-sensitivity LVDT is used to accurately measure even minute thermal expansion events.

Measurement of thermal expansion in the vertical direction is possible! The highest sensitivity is guaranteed by a high-resolution inductive sensor (LVDT).

The DIL820 series (DIL 821/822) is a high-precision vertical dilatometer belonging to the DIL 820 series from TA Instruments. These models are equipped with a new optical encoder that has a resolution of 1nm, making them particularly suitable for the analysis of challenging samples. The DIL 822 employs true differential measurement technology, providing the best sensitivity and accuracy for CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) in the market.

This is the lecture material posted on YouTube ~Rheology: Basic Edition 1~. It is available for free download, so please feel free to make use of it.

Data Content This is a PDF version of the lecture materials from YouTube, converted for better readability. The video consists of a total of 12 pages and provides easy-to-understand explanations for beginners on the following topics: - What is rheology? - What is viscoelasticity? - About measurement modes. I think it might be difficult to understand just from the lecture materials, so please also refer to the YouTube videos below.

[Instructor] Paulstar Communications Inc. Representative Director Koji Kita [Key Lecture Content] Have you ever felt that, despite entrusting work to Generation Z and young employees, they "don't seem to get started," "don't lead to the expected results," or "it's ultimately faster to do it myself"? Behind these situations are various factors, including the recognition gap between supervisors and young employees regarding "entrusting and being entrusted," how to communicate the purpose of the work, the approach, and the scope of discretion, as well as how to follow up after delegating tasks. In this seminar, we will practically explain "how to delegate work" to elicit proactive behavior, taking into account the perspectives and behavioral characteristics of Generation Z and young employees. We will share specific management techniques to help supervisors break free from the burden of work, encourage the autonomy and growth of young employees, and steadily lead to results.

[Speaker] Yoichiro Okuyama, Senior Researcher, Research Department, Hamagin Research Institute, Inc. [Key Lecture Content] In China, the operation of autonomous taxis began in 2021, and now fully unmanned robo-taxis are running in cities like Beijing and Shenzhen. Experiencing a ride reveals the evolution of technology through natural acceleration, smooth steering, and seamless deceleration. Currently, there are several thousand vehicles in operation, but projections suggest that by 2030, this number could exceed one million, accounting for 70% of the global total. What are the underlying factors driving the social implementation of robo-taxis in China? By incorporating local test ride experiences, we will analyze the revenue situation of robo-taxi operating companies and the outlook for market expansion based on data, exploring their future potential. [Lecture Items] 1. Personal experiences of test riding robo-taxis in China 2. Trends in the market size of robo-taxis in China and globally 3. Background of the advancing social implementation of robo-taxis in China 4. Public acceptance and actual usage 5. Performance and challenges of major robo-taxi companies 6. Will robo-taxis become widespread in Japan as well? 7. Q&A / Business card exchange

In the health and medical fields, which are directly connected to people's lives, it is essential to carefully interpret the results of data analysis and utilize them in decision-making. This seminar will first introduce basic analytical methods using JMP 19 and explain the contexts in which each method can be applied. Next, we will discuss the thought process for making causal interpretations, such as "Did a certain treatment improve the condition?" and how to estimate causal effects using JMP Pro 19. - Comparison of results before and after treatment using paired t-tests - Group comparisons using t-tests - Group comparisons considering pre-treatment values through analysis of covariance - Distinguishing between correlation and causation - Estimation of causal treatment effects This seminar will introduce these basic analytical methods with demonstrations. Those without statistical expertise and those unfamiliar with JMP are also very welcome. ▼ Details & Registration https://www.jmp.com/ja/events/live-webinars/non-series/2026/09-11-health-medical-data
