In addition to the conventional chromatic aberration confocal method and spectral interference method, a thickness measurement sensor utilizing laser heating has also emerged. It can measure the thickness of both transparent and opaque materials non-contactly.

Presitech is a German manufacturer of non-contact sensors. It develops and manufactures optical sensors using chromatic aberration confocal method and spectral interference method. At the end of 2022, it acquired the French company Enovasense, adding sensors that utilize laser heating to measure the thickness of opaque materials to its lineup. The company specializes in high-speed and high-precision thickness measurement, which is used for inspecting wafers, coatings, films, paint films, anti-corrosion coatings, and more. It offers a wide measurement range, tolerance angles, and can accommodate various materials, including line sensors and area scanners suitable for full surface measurement. There are numerous achievements in integrating these sensors into semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and they are also used in LCD manufacturing equipment and inline inspection of films. Additionally, they are utilized as embedded sensors for tabletop machines such as standalone units.

This year, Toyota Kikan will exhibit at the Toyota Business Fair. We will introduce products that are useful for heatstroke prevention and more. Our top recommendation is SPACECOOL. Please feel free to visit our booth! SPACECOOL is an "eco-friendly cooling solution" essential for the future of our planet's environment! Be sure to check it out. Also, take a look at the basic knowledge for heat prevention in factories moving forward.

In the operation of drawings, do you face challenges such as "taking too long to find," "uncertainty about whether it's the latest version," or "high likelihood of confirmation errors"? By utilizing CADSUPER's barcode function (optional), you can reliably connect drawings and information, allowing for a smooth advancement of DX in drawing utilization. In this seminar, we will introduce how using barcodes can change: - Drawing management and search - Confirmation and cross-checking tasks - Information collaboration with the field This content is recommended not only for existing users but also for those considering improving the efficiency of drawing operations and reducing errors.

[Speaker] Miho Ko Shimada, Partner Attorney, Mori Hamada & Matsumoto Law Firm, Foreign Law Joint Enterprise [Key Lecture Content] The movement towards the implementation of CCS, which is positioned as an essential technology for decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries, is gaining momentum in Japan. Among the "advanced CCS projects" selected for business commencement in the early 2030s, some pipeline projects have progressed to the exploratory drilling stage. For shipping transport projects, discussions are underway to create mechanisms for clustering CO2 sources and improving shipping transport efficiency. In this seminar, following the full enforcement of the CCS Business Act on May 22, we will organize the current state of the business environment related to CCS and examine the latest discussions at the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy and the Ministry of the Environment (based on information available at the time of the event) from a legal perspective as we consider the shape of CCS projects leading to Final Investment Decision (FID). [Lecture Items] 1. Current state of the business environment related to CCS 2. Overview of the CCS Business Act 3. Overview of the cost difference support system for CCS projects (pipelines) 4. Structural considerations through the CCS value chain 5. Q&A / Business card exchange
