We will be exhibiting a poster at the 29th Okayama Research Park Research and Exhibition Presentation.

We will create new value through the mutual complementarity of ICT and BST.

In-circuit testing with a flying probe tester excels at inspecting the electrical characteristics of implemented electronic components in analog circuits. However, components that cannot be probed make electrical testing difficult, and functional testing of digital circuits is challenging. On the other hand, boundary scan testing allows for quick interconnection testing between LSI pins and on-board programming for FPGAs, but it can only test digital circuits around ICs that comply with the boundary scan standard, and it also requires specialized fixtures for connections. At Takaya Corporation, we possess technology that uses flying probes instead of fixtures to connect 4 to 5 scan-compatible pins and measuring instruments required for boundary scan testing. This allows for boundary scan testing even when the counterpart of a boundary scan-compliant IC is a non-boundary scan-compliant IC or passive components (such as connectors) by enabling the flying probe to function as a virtual boundary scan cell. With a single flying probe tester, it is possible to conduct comprehensive testing of both digital and analog circuits, thereby significantly enhancing testing efficiency compared to before.

Special Feature Content ■ Latest Trends in BGA Implementation Board Inspection Hybrid Inspection of Flying Probe Testers and JTAG Testing Andor System Support Co., Ltd. / Masayuki Taniguchi Takaya Co., Ltd. / Kohei Yanagida Overview BGA (Ball Grid Array) components are now used in all types of electronic devices, from consumer products to industrial equipment, and more recently, automotive devices. However, a reliable method for inspecting boards with BGA components (hereafter referred to as BGA implementation boards) has not been established. This is because every inspection method has its advantages and disadvantages, making it impossible to conduct a complete test using only one inspection method. Therefore, inspecting BGA implementation boards has become a challenge for many companies. In this article, we will introduce the latest technological trends in hybrid inspection that combines flying probe testers and JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) boundary scan as one solution to this issue. 1. Introduction 2. Inspection and Challenges of BGA Implementation Boards 3. Possibilities of Electrical Testing 4. In-Circuit Testing 5. JTAG Boundary Scan Testing 6. Hybrid Testing 7. Conclusion

The organoid technology is gaining prominence in drug discovery research. We will hold a Japanese webinar where you can learn about the automation of culture through AI image analysis and the reduction of drug discovery risks through the utilization of multimodal data, all in one session. We will introduce technologies that quantify organoid culture using AI image analysis, enabling autonomous passaging decisions, as well as the latest examples of data utilization that integrate multi-omics data from patient-derived organoids (PDOs) to predict drug responses with high accuracy, thereby reducing drug discovery risks. These advancements are expected to enhance research reproducibility and promote precision medicine. A Q&A session is also planned after the presentations. Presentation 1: Automation of organoid culture through quantification of culture conditions and autonomous passaging decisions using AI image analysis Koji Utagawa, Application Scientist, Molecular Devices Japan, Ph.D. in Science Presentation 2: Risk reduction in cancer drug projects using molecular and multi-omics data from organoids Toshiya Kondo, Scientific Business Consultant, Genedata AG, M.D.

[Instructor] Shunsuke Suzuki, President and CEO, Management Techniques Co., Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] In a rapidly changing business environment, we are compelled to collaborate with people from various backgrounds every day and to push our proposals and ideas through amidst the intersection of diverse opinions and values. However, for some reason, good ideas are often not understood or accepted. Why is that? To implement new initiatives within an organization, it is necessary to overcome multiple barriers and unify stakeholders with differing opinions and values. In this seminar, we will explain a "management theory" that has not been commonly addressed, based on various perspectives such as organizational theory, psychology, communication theory, and political economy. We will cover communication techniques that promote changes in people's behaviors and attitudes, storytelling that generates empathy, and the building of trust relationships, all aimed at achieving transformation within organizations. This will be beneficial not only for proposals within organizations but also for improving interpersonal skills in a wide range of situations, including BtoB sales negotiations and the building of everyday human relationships.

[Speaker] Kazunori Kitagawa, Director of Eco-Management Center, Japan Productivity Center for Socio-Economic Development [Key Lecture Content] European circular economy policies are poised to have a significant impact on the automotive industry. In particular, the regulations on end-of-life vehicles scheduled to be issued this year may necessitate fundamental reforms in raw material procurement, information collaboration, and product recycling related to the manufacturing and resource circulation of automobiles in the future. This lecture will explain the policy trends related to these regulations, an overview of the system, countermeasures, trends among European manufacturers, management of recycled material procurement, and the upcoming timeline. [Lecture Topics] 1. Policy trends of the circular economy in the EU 2. Transition from recycling to resourcing in the EU End-of-Life Vehicle Directive and regulation amendments 3. Supply chain management related to the supply of recycled plastics 4. Overview of the End-of-Life Vehicle Regulation bill 5. Current status of circular economy business models among European automobile manufacturers 6. Future challenges and countermeasures 7. Q&A / Business card exchange *The content of the lecture may change based on the latest trends.
