June event! Webinar on evaluating the thermal characteristics of batteries using a microcalorimeter.

As an evaluation method for self-discharge, it is a very sensitive technique. It allows for various assessments regarding battery performance, stability, and compatibility of constituent materials.

The isothermal calorimetry device (TAM series) is an instrument that measures very small amounts of heat, known as a microcalorimeter. By combining a thermostat with high isothermal performance with a calorimeter (calorimeter) suited to the sample and measurement method, it is possible to measure minute heat generated or consumed during physical processes or chemical reactions with sensitivity exceeding microwatts. Here, we introduce application examples of battery evaluation using the isothermal calorimetry device TAM. Additionally, information on the new battery calorimeter Micro XL is also provided. *Please download the materials.

For the evaluation of reactions of various substances.

TAM offers the highest level of sensitivity, flexibility, and performance. By using a highly sensitive microcalorimeter along with various accessories, it precisely controls various experimental conditions. Up to four calorimeters can be used simultaneously, allowing for repeated experiments and a variety of experiments to be conducted. Additionally, its modular design allows for the addition of multiple calorimeters, enhancing sample processing capacity and functionality. Adding a multi-calorimeter with six mini-calorimeters significantly improves sample throughput. The TAM 4 employs patented thermostat technology, controlling the temperature of the liquid constant temperature bath with an accuracy of 0.0001±730°C. There are three operating modes: isothermal, step isothermal, and temperature scanning mode.

Evaluation of the generation process and characteristics of biofuels using a modular thermal analysis measurement device (TAM).

The calorimetry measurement device (TAM series) is an instrument known as a microcalorimeter that measures very small amounts of heat. By combining a thermostat with high isothermal performance with a calorimeter (calorimeter) suited to the sample and measurement method, it is possible to measure minute heat generated or consumed during physical processes or chemical reactions with sensitivity exceeding microwatts. It is a useful tool that can contribute to the research and development of biofuels and environmental improvement, allowing real-time calorimetry measurements while performing operations such as the addition, mixing, and titration of chemicals through module combinations. This document provides a detailed explanation of high-sensitivity calorimetry measurements of biofuels, which are difficult to observe with conventional differential scanning calorimeters (DSC), as well as real-time measurements of heat changes associated with chemical reactions. ◇ Quantification of wax based on the heat of solidification reactions ◇ Evaluation of the production rate of biofuels *Please download the document.

[Speaker] Daisuke Imaizumi, President and CEO, Infra Commons Inc. [Key Lecture Content] The "Software-Defined Warfare" led by the U.S. Department of Defense is establishing a new model of warfare centered on AI, autonomous drones, and real-time command and control. This seminar will explain the U.S. strategic shifts, including the Replicator concept, JADC2, and the rise of Palantir and Anduril, while delving into the essence of the structural transformation facing Japan's defense industry. Through the establishment of Anduril's Japanese subsidiary, the "purely domestic drone" concept, and Palantir's data infrastructure and generative AI deployment, we will present how companies like Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Fujitsu, and NEC can play a central role in Japan-U.S. collaboration. We will provide practical insights for existing industries to carve out paths as "co-creation partners" rather than "enemies" in the AI and software-driven era. This is a must-see lecture for rethinking the future of the defense industry.
