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.

[Speaker] Masashi Sugita, President and CEO of LEX Style Co., Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] The power consumption of AI servers used in data centers has significantly increased, making traditional air cooling insufficient for operation. This lecture will organize the requirements for introducing a liquid cooling system into air-cooled data centers and explain the implementation method using free cooling with specific design details. When handling high-density AI servers, energy efficiency is required, and the widely used energy efficiency indicator, as well as the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Resource and Energy Agency's PUE regulation of "1.3 or below," will be explained along with practical operational insights.

[Instructor] Yuichiro Kabushiki, Partner Lawyer at TMI Comprehensive Law Office [Key Lecture Content] With the spread of AI, there is growing attention on the civil liability of developers, providers, and users of AI. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will publish "Guidelines on the Interpretation and Application of Civil Liability in AI Utilization" in April 2026, and the Ministry of Justice will also establish an expert meeting to examine civil liability related to unauthorized use of images and voices generated by AI in the same month. As the full enforcement of the AI Promotion Act and the revision of AI guidelines are underway, it is necessary to design and operate governance based on the potential responsibilities that may arise retrospectively. In this seminar, based on the guidelines from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and drawing on litigation practice experience as a judge and lawyer, we will organize the basic framework for assessing civil liability and explain fundamental methods for designing and operating governance based on risk analysis. Furthermore, we will examine the framework for civil liability and the design and operation of governance using hypothetical cases that are likely to pose practical issues.

In this seminar, we will welcome Mr. Satoru Hayami from Waseda University, who will explain the latest trends in AI utilization in manufacturing, as well as the evolution of technologies such as agent-based AI and physical AI, and the opportunities and key points for practical application in the manufacturing industry. Furthermore, Mr. Tsubasa Shibata, representative of Next Opt, will introduce processes aimed at practical implementation, incorporating actual case studies from manufacturing sites. We hope you will envision the "potential for AI utilization in your company" and take home hints that will lead to improvements in your operations starting tomorrow. We look forward to your participation.
