Evaluate the surface treatment state of various powders such as fillers, pigments, and food-grade powders based on their wettability and permeability with solvents. Address the issues of powder contact angle measurement and "filling methods."

Powder is a collection of finely crushed solids and possesses unique properties that differ from the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. This leads to various challenges in research and development as well as in production environments. Today, powders have become essential in a wide range of fields, from pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics to advanced industries such as paints, batteries, and nanotechnology. While the use of powders and processed products is generally in the form of tablets or dispersions, in order for them to fulfill their roles as products, the penetration of liquids and wettability are important factors in almost all cases, regardless of the form. The measurement of liquid penetration speed and contact angles in powders is an old yet new technology, and by utilizing the latest know-how, it is possible to obtain reproducible data.

• Other powder equipment

An automatic dynamic surface tension meter equipped with a built-in thermostat and thermometer, designed for ease of use.

The automatic dynamic tensiometer BP-D5 is a system that continuously measures dynamic surface tension from the moment the interface is formed by adopting the maximum bubble pressure method. Various controls and measurements are performed using the FAMAS software, which is also well-regarded for contact angle measurements in cooperative interfacial science. 【Features】 ○ Continuous measurement while varying the lifetime (20 to 5,000 ms) → Measurement up to 15,000 ms is possible as an option ○ Dynamic surface tension measurement at a constant lifetime is possible ○ Real-time display function of bubble pressure waveforms and LED strobe lighting function allow for monitoring the state of the bubbles ○ A series of operations from adjusting the probe depth to starting the measurement can be performed with the push of a button ○ During surface tension measurement, the temperature (°C) of the liquid sample can be recorded, allowing for temperature correction of surface tension for liquid samples with known temperature coefficients For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.

[Speaker] Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Innovation and Environment Bureau Deputy Director, GX Investment Promotion Division, Yuki Kamitani [Key Lecture Content] In the rapidly changing international situation surrounding decarbonization, I will introduce the overall policy of Japan's GX (Green Transformation) policy. One of the pillars of the GX policy is the GX Strategy Regional System, which was established in August of last year. This system aims to create new GX-type industrial clusters centered around industrial resources such as complexes and decarbonized power sources by integrating support through GX financial resources with regulatory and institutional reforms. I will provide an overview of this system. [Lecture Topics] 1. International situation surrounding GX 2. Overall picture of Japan's GX policy 3. About the GX Strategy Regional System 4.

[Speaker] Masayuki Fukuoka, Partner Attorney at Nishimura & Asahi Law Office, Foreign Law Joint Enterprise, New York State Attorney Member of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's AI Business Guidelines Study Group [Key Lecture Content] In the current era where generative AI can intricately mimic an individual's likeness and voice, protecting these elements for the mimicked individuals is an urgent issue. On the other hand, when companies utilize generative AI for image and voice applications, there is a concern about infringing on others' rights related to likeness and voice. This lecture will organize the legal issues surrounding the unauthorized use of likeness and voice. In addition to explaining copyright law, rights of publicity, and the Unfair Competition Prevention Act, it will also present guidelines for the protection of likeness and voice, including ethical perspectives and risk management that companies should adopt. [Lecture Items] 1. Introduction: Current Status and Legal Issues of Likeness and Voice Use by Generative AI 2. Limitations and Possibilities of Protection under Copyright Law and Trademark Law 3. Protection under Tort Law: In-depth Exploration of Rights of Likeness and Publicity 4. Unfair Competition Prevention Act 5. Compliance and Ethical Judgment in Practice 6. Q&A / Business Card Exchange
