Notice of Participation in 'SENSOR EXPO JAPAN 2024' from September 18 (Wednesday) to September 20 (Friday), 2024

We are developing a battery-less multi-purpose sensor that applies the power generation principle of liquid detection sensors, capable of detecting various external forces and physical changes!

We introduce a battery-less multi-purpose sensor using Mg air batteries. ■ Battery-less Sensor This is a groundbreaking device that applies and further evolves the technology of battery-less liquid detection sensors. The core of this sensor consists of a sensor element that starts generating power when it comes into contact with water, a water bag, and a wireless transmitter (BLE or LPWA) integrated into one structure. When external force is applied, the internal water bag bursts, initiating power generation and activating the wireless transmitter. The most significant feature is its battery-less design, which allows for installation in locations where power supply is difficult and can withstand long periods of inactivity, greatly contributing to labor reduction. ■ Design Versatility This unique design allows it to function as a sensor that responds to various external forces such as pressure, tensile force, shear force, and impact force. By customizing the case design, it can accommodate a wide range of applications. ■ Expected Applications The expected applications are diverse: 1. Drone drop detection sensor 2. Snow accumulation detection sensor in snowy mountains 3. Crack propagation detection sensor in bridge components It has the flexibility to be utilized in various fields and situations, depending on the customer's ideas.

Detects minute liquid leaks! The sensor itself generates power, so no external power supply is needed.

Power-free liquid detection! Revolutionary Mg-air battery method "Liquid Detection Sensor" The Liquid Detection Sensor is based on Mg-air battery technology and generates power when it comes into contact with water or other liquids. It operates without any external power supply for the sensor part, and notably, it can reliably generate power and detect not only water but also urine and blood. ■ Battery-less Eliminating the need for power supply, which was essential for conventional liquid sensors, enables operation without restrictions on installation locations. ■ High sensitivity detection capability Achieving a high-sensitivity design that can reliably detect even a few drops of liquid. It can detect minor liquid leaks and condensation without missing them. ■ Compact and flexible installation With a slim and small design, it can be easily installed in narrow spaces and gaps in equipment where conventional sensors would be difficult to place. It can be utilized in various locations such as around piping, under floors, and in ceilings. ■ Notification system The detected information is implemented to be notified via email to smartphones or computers. Even in sites requiring constant monitoring, remote situation checks are possible, enabling prompt responses. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

From February 11 (Wednesday) to February 13 (Friday), Mikasa Trading Co., Ltd. will sponsor the technology conference "JANOG57 Meeting in Osaka" held at the Congre Convention Center. This event provides an open platform for field engineers to freely discuss and share the latest network technologies, practical operational know-how, and case studies of failures. This time, we will be exhibiting a booth in collaboration with Western Digital Marketing LLC, showcasing innovative storage solutions such as the "Ultrastar Data60" and HDDs with a maximum capacity of 30TB. The Ultrastar Data60 is recognized for its ability to efficiently accommodate up to 60 high-quality HDDs while achieving large capacity, low cost, and space-saving design. Additionally, we will display mobile label printers made by Brady Japan at our booth. You will have the opportunity to see products that are actively used in infrastructure development and data management up close. Don't miss this chance to experience the technologies that support the future! We look forward to seeing you at the venue.

You will also be able to see the movements of the "BD-8" and laser processing machines at the venue. It's perfect for those who want to start a manufacturing business!

Olink Explore HT is a next-generation proteomics analysis platform that enables the high-sensitivity and high-throughput measurement of numerous proteins from small sample volumes. In this webinar, we will explain the technical features and utilization points of Olink Explore HT and the new product Reveal, based on our analysis experience using actual BioBank Japan samples. We will also introduce the differences from other platforms such as SomaScan and Illumina Protein Prep, from the perspectives of analysis design and data characteristics. This content will provide practical insights for researchers considering options for proteomics analysis in large cohort studies and biomarker discovery. Speaker: Dr. Akinori Kanai (Associate Professor, Center for Life Data Science, Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo)

In this seminar, we will break down "DX" into five elements in relation to the concept of innovation and explain them with examples. The aim is to deepen the understanding of "DX" itself and clarify what steps should be taken first. Additionally, we will introduce the approach of "suitable personnel in suitable places ERP" as a way to select the foundation for promoting "DX." <Program> - Introduction - The lagging DX in manufacturing and how to succeed in the new era - The choice of "suitable personnel in suitable places" ERP as a foundation for strengthening competitiveness <Recommended for> - Those who are exploring what steps to take towards DX - Business owners, managers in the manufacturing industry, and those responsible for management innovation - System personnel interested in the future of core systems *Applications from competing companies may be declined.
