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] Keigo Shibagaki, Director CAIO, Japan Cable Lab, General Incorporated Association [Key Lecture Content] With the rapid evolution of AI, industrial structures, business domains, values, and lifestyles are undergoing significant changes. Some businesses and industries may disappear in an instant. What will not disappear, no matter how much AI evolves, is the homes where people live. Regional businesses, like cable services, which are close to these enduring end users, will be reevaluated in an AI-centric society. How businesses incorporate AI and connect it to growth is crucial. A misstep could lead to being overwhelmed by the wave of AI evolution, resulting in wasted efforts and unnecessary investments. In this lecture, we will discuss how businesses can engage with AI to protect and grow their operations, touching on the direction of technological evolution related to AI, the content of Japan Cable Lab's "Cable AI," and also the AI development engineering at Japan Cable Lab.

[Speaker] Shinya Okimoto, Founder & CEO of Oki Studio LLC [Lecture Topics] Part 1: What is an AI Factory? - A New Industrial Infrastructure for the AI Era Part 2: Who Does the AI Factory Help Grow? - The Structure of Competitive Advantage in Growing Companies Part 3: Where Will the Next Growth Opportunities Arise? - New Business Areas Created by AI Investment Part 4: Where Should Japanese Companies Compete? - Growth Strategies Toward 2030 [Q&A]

To comply with regulations, traceability, and data integrity, the adoption of LIMS and ELN is progressing, along with the networking of analytical instruments such as chromatography and mass spectrometry. However, while automated data collection and centralized management are advancing, new barriers associated with connectivity are also becoming apparent. Data silos due to inconsistent standards among equipment manufacturers, the difficulty of system integration caused by vendor lock-in, as well as cybersecurity risks and significant variations in the IT literacy of researchers and technicians conducting experiments on-site, are major bottlenecks. In this online seminar, we will introduce our next-generation premium electronic balance, the new product "Cubis III," which is gaining attention as one of the solutions to these challenges. We hope you will join us!
