A new type of antibacterial sheet that is used wet! The antibacterial component is derived from scallop shells, making it safe for contact with food and dishes.

This sheet is made from 100% natural material derived from scallop shells and exhibits excellent antibacterial and disinfecting effects when in contact with moisture. Its effectiveness is demonstrated even when wet with water or food moisture. The antibacterial component is the same as that used in food additives made from calcined shells. ◆ Diverse antibacterial effects! When in contact with moisture, it becomes alkaline and exerts effects against microorganisms. A wide range of antibacterial effects has been confirmed, from everyday bacteria to mold and viruses! It is effective even with food moisture (can be used directly without wetting). *It does not cover all viruses and bacteria. *Effectiveness may vary depending on the type and condition of the food. ◆ Excellent storage properties! This lightweight sheet is suitable for long-term storage! ◆ Odorless and non-chlorine! Being derived from natural sources and containing non-chlorine components, it requires no wiping and has no odor! ◆ Deodorizing effect as well! Deodorizing effects have also been confirmed.

Even when absorbed and swollen, it is difficult for the shape to collapse. The TDS method, which does not use water, allows SAF to be made into sheets!

This is a highly absorbent sheet with excellent water absorption performance. It has moisture absorption and desorption capabilities. Since it contains high absorbent fibers (SAF), there is no shedding of powders or similar materials. It is also possible to laminate other materials on both sides. Mixing powders or similar substances into the middle layer is also possible.

In the unlikely event of a hole forming, the absorbent sheet catches and absorbs the leaking water, swelling to seal the hole for peace of mind. It plays a significant role as the absorbent layer of a self-repairing waterproof sheet!

The self-repairing waterproof sheet for leak prevention can be utilized as an absorption layer of the self-repairing waterproof sheet. If there is only a waterproof layer, any damage that causes a hole can lead to leaks; however, the high water-absorbent resin (fiber) incorporated into the sheet absorbs water and swells to seal the hole, preventing leaks. It can be used in waterproof civil engineering works such as final disposal sites, agricultural reservoirs, river embankments, and retention basins. As an absorption layer of the self-repairing waterproof sheet, it is common to have a bentonite layer sandwiched between the non-woven fabric of the surface material and the backing material. The disadvantage is that the sheet is very heavy, requiring large machinery for installation. Comparison with bentonite-based sheets: ◆ Work is made easier! A significant weight reduction of 25% improves workability! Large machinery is unnecessary, and the lightweight nature makes handling easy. ◆ Work efficiency is improved! The roll length is up to about five times longer, enhancing workability! The sheet is highly flexible and easy to handle, and the significantly increased roll length improves work efficiency. Features of the self-repairing waterproof sheet for leak prevention: - It has excellent waterproofing properties. - Even if sharp objects penetrate the sheet, it self-repairs and is less likely to leak. - It is lightweight and has excellent workability.

Utilizing the unique roughness of thick fibers for dirt removal, it scrapes off stubbornly adhered dirt!

This is a cleaning sheet that can be used in various places such as the kitchen and bathroom. The thick fibers effectively scrape off stubborn dirt and water stains. It features a two-layer structure: a scraping layer that removes dirt and an absorbent layer that securely holds liquid when using detergent. Additionally, it is possible to incorporate powdered cleaning agents into the sheet. The scraping layer contains fibers that are several times thicker than our standard fibers. In addition to the hardness of the thick fibers, the air-laid manufacturing method creates a raised texture on the surface of the sheet, which helps to scrape off dirt. Furthermore, our production method allows for the incorporation of powders into the sheet, enabling the blending of various functional powders. For example, it is possible to incorporate powdered cleaning agents such as citric acid, baking soda, and sodium sesquicarbonate. Please feel free to contact us.

About ROAD: The "Roundtable on the Purpose of Autonomous Driving (ROAD)" conference series has evolved into a unique platform for interdis-ciplinary dialogue and international collaboration in the field of autonomous driving and autonomous mobility. Established in 2016, ROAD has brought together researchers, industry leaders, and public sector stakeholders from six countries across three continents. Based on this background, the upcoming ROAD 2026 will focus on "safety” and "driving AI”—the final pieces of the autonomous driving puzzle—to advance discussions on establishing the foundational framework for ensuring safety quality and obtaining regular-tory approval for autonomous driving. We also intend to discuss the international commonalities and differences regarding the social value brought about by ADS vehicles in terms of automation, intelligent driving, and mobility. We have established a total of five compelling themes for the Round Workshops, consisting of two topics related to “The Last Piece” and three topics related to the social value of ADS, as shown below. 1) Round Workshop 1 - Horizons of E2E Driving AI → Can AI Understand the Driving Environment Like Humans? 2) Round Workshop 2 - Beyond the Unknown: Safety Cases for ADS → Can Safety Ever Be Proven? 3) Round Workshop 3 - Envisioning Smart City Mobility → Can Smart City Mobility Bridge the Mobility Divide? 4) Round Workshop 4 - Logistics Enhancement Through Autonomous Tracking → Will Logistics Become Human-Free? 5) Round Workshop 5 - The Evolution of CASE: SDV/AIDV → Will Automakers Become AI Companies? We hope you’ll all join us!

[Instructor] Yuichiro Kabushiki, Partner Lawyer at TMI Comprehensive Law Office [Key Lecture Content] With the spread of AI, there is growing attention on the civil liability of developers, providers, and users of AI. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will publish "Guidelines on the Interpretation and Application of Civil Liability in AI Utilization" in April 2026, and the Ministry of Justice will also establish an expert meeting to examine civil liability related to unauthorized use of images and voices generated by AI in the same month. As the full enforcement of the AI Promotion Act and the revision of AI guidelines are underway, it is necessary to design and operate governance based on the potential responsibilities that may arise retrospectively. In this seminar, based on the guidelines from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and drawing on litigation practice experience as a judge and lawyer, we will organize the basic framework for assessing civil liability and explain fundamental methods for designing and operating governance based on risk analysis. Furthermore, we will examine the framework for civil liability and the design and operation of governance using hypothetical cases that are likely to pose practical issues.

In this seminar, we will welcome Mr. Satoru Hayami from Waseda University, who will explain the latest trends in AI utilization in manufacturing, as well as the evolution of technologies such as agent-based AI and physical AI, and the opportunities and key points for practical application in the manufacturing industry. Furthermore, Mr. Tsubasa Shibata, representative of Next Opt, will introduce processes aimed at practical implementation, incorporating actual case studies from manufacturing sites. We hope you will envision the "potential for AI utilization in your company" and take home hints that will lead to improvements in your operations starting tomorrow. We look forward to your participation.
