I will give a presentation at the 3rd World Symposium on Materials Science and Engineering 2024 (November 5-7, Hilton Nagoya). [Hudson Institute]

Introducing devices for measuring the thermal diffusivity of sheet-like and plate-like materials, as well as thermal evaluation devices for fiber orientation distribution!

Introducing Bethel's thermal property measurement devices. The "Thermo Wave Analyzer TA33/35" is a measurement device for the thermal diffusivity of sheet and plate materials, capable of measuring the thermal diffusivity of functional materials. The "Thermal Microscope TM" has been commercialized through joint development with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology's Measurement Standards Division, allowing for measurements in micro-regions and thin films. Additionally, we offer the "Thermal Imaging Scope TSI," which visualizes thermal conduction paths using infrared cameras and lasers, as well as the "Fiber Orientation Evaluation System TEFOD." 【Features of the Thermo Wave Analyzer TA33/35】 ■ High freedom of sample shape ■ Dynamic range from organic films to diamonds ■ Anisotropy evaluation through measurements in horizontal and vertical directions ■ Evaluation of defects and irregularities through distribution measurements *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Other measurement, recording and measuring instruments

Leave the measurement of the thermal conductivity of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) to us.

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), used in electric vehicles, aircraft, satellites, and rockets, require precise knowledge of thermal conductivity. For instance, when used in electric vehicles, understanding thermal conductivity is essential for heating performance and battery thermal management. Changes in electricity consumption due to heating performance and thermal management significantly affect driving range. Similarly, when used in satellites and rockets in the harsh environment of space, it is necessary to understand thermal conductivity to ensure heat resistance performance. With Bethel, you can accurately measure the thermal conductivity of this carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP).

Even thin and small samples, as well as samples with high thermal conductivity, can be measured!

We are also able to measure the thermal conductivity of conductive diamonds. Normally, diamonds are insulators, but by doping with boron, they can be made conductive, allowing for the creation of high-performance electrodes. This enables redox reactions that are impossible with electrodes made from other materials due to a wide potential window, and they can be used in harsh environments such as strong acids and strong alkalis, offering significant advantages. Personally, I am particularly interested in their potential use in the recycling of CFRP. The measurements will be conducted using the ThermoWave Analyzer TA35. [About the Samples] The samples this time have thicknesses of 30μm and 300μm, and with a sample size of 10mm x 10mm, it can be said that measurement with ordinary thermal conductivity measurement devices is nearly impossible. Measurement is only possible with the ThermoWave Analyzer. The 30μm thick sample is matte black with a smooth surface. The 300μm thick sample is also matte black, but its surface was slightly rough. However, this level of roughness has no effect on the measurements at all.

Are you measuring the correct thermal conductivity of the thermal pad?

A thermal pad is a type of thermal interface material used for heat dissipation in CPUs and power devices. Due to its flexibility and relatively high thermal conductivity, it effectively reduces contact thermal resistance by filling the gaps between the heat sink and the device. Do you accurately understand the thermal conductivity of thermal pads? Thermal pads have elasticity, so their contact state changes with pressure. In other words, the effective thermal conductivity varies with pressure. Additionally, many materials exhibit temperature dependence in thermal conductivity, meaning that as the temperature increases, the thermal conductivity decreases. In this instance, we measured a commercially available thermal pad with a specification of 1.5W/mK. This is a soft type referred to as a soft thermal pad. The measurement device used is our steady-state thermal conductivity measurement device, the SS-H40.

Do you have any concerns or requests regarding wired bed exit sensors? × Tangling and tripping of wired cables × Cable disconnection or damage × Worry about forgetting to turn on the switch after temporarily stopping the sensor. × Want to be notified of bed exit even from a location away from the nurse call outlet. Such concerns can be resolved simply by connecting to a wireless set linked to the nurse call system! Our nurse call linked wireless set allows you to connect bed exit sensors like "Ugo-kun," "Foldable Thin Matta-kun," "Ayumi-chan," and "Just Place Pole-kun" to transmitters and receivers, reducing wiring around the bed, alleviating concerns about tripping and falling due to cables, and contributing to a tidier work environment. Furthermore, it enables the use of bed exit sensors even from locations away from the nurse call outlet, allowing for more flexible equipment placement.

The "Hotron Non-Contact Switch" allows you to open and close doors without directly touching door knobs or switches, making it hygienic! You can choose from two types: the "Hand Wave Sensor," which only requires you to wave your hand, and the "Foot Switch," which only requires you to place your foot in front of it. It reduces the risk of virus and bacteria transmission in places where hygiene is a concern, such as food factories, restaurants, hospitals, and nursing facilities. 【Features】 ○ Reduces the risk of virus transmission by allowing door operation without contact ○ A wide variety of options to choose from based on application and location ○ Ideal for places where hygiene is a priority, such as food factories and medical facilities ○ Prevents unnecessary detection due to the switch mechanism 【Product Lineup】 ■ Hand Wave Sensor Series ○ Exposed waterproof type, front, down, and side-facing types "PF-R5" ○ Exposed type, front-facing type "PF-R1" ○ Embedded type, front-facing type "PF-U2" ○ Exposed type, downward wide type "PF-R4" ■ Foot Switch Series ○ Slim type with wide opening, vertical beam type "PF-01S" ○ Slim type with wide opening, horizontal beam type "PF-03S" ○ Standard type, horizontal beam type "PF-05" ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

Hotron's vehicle detection sensors allow you to search for products that meet your needs in three categories: "Purpose of Use," "Location of Use," and "Product List." The sensors detect the passage of vehicles, alerting you with rotating lights or switching the display of parking availability. They manage vehicle presence, full parking, and exit warnings in parking lots, contributing to safe driving and smooth operational management within the parking area. They are used in various settings, from coin-operated parking to large-scale parking lots.

Based on practical experience in both support companies and business companies, SBS Marketing Co., Ltd. provides consulting services related to marketing, sales promotion, and customer attraction primarily in the BtoB (business-to-business) sector. On August 14, 2025 (Thursday), they published a page titled "Is the 'Doctrine of Innate Goodness' No Longer Applicable!? The 'Forget the Shame of Your Journey Phenomenon.'" The 'Forget the Shame of Your Journey Phenomenon' refers to the tendency to engage in behavior that violates social norms or causes inconvenience while feeling liberated during travel, something that people typically wouldn't do in their daily lives. This phenomenon can be observed not only among inbound tourists from abroad but also among domestic tourists in Japan. The page explains the representative issues of overtourism, the causes of its occurrence, countermeasures, the already arising negative effects, and the attitudes and behaviors that are required!

In the past, despite a large number of examinees flocking to the university I applied to, the exam was in essay format. What could this mean? Additionally, the book "Guide to Mathematics Exam Techniques" also discusses "The Inside Story of Entrance Exam Grading." Therefore, I asked current university officials about "multiple-choice" and "essay" formats. For more details, please see the link below. https://mbp-japan.com/hyogo/banyohkagaku/column/5200992/
