It is a filter that efficiently cuts (reflects) short-wavelength UV (ultraviolet) light while allowing visible light to pass through.

What is a UV cut filter (ultraviolet cut filter)? It is a filter that cuts ultraviolet (UV) light while allowing visible light to pass through. In digital cameras, it is used to reduce chromatic aberration, and in liquid crystal projectors, it is used to prevent the degradation of liquid crystals and other optical components caused by the light from lamps (such as high-pressure mercury lamps), with the aim of cutting unnecessary ultraviolet light. Are you facing any of these issues? ◆ Is it possible to cut only the wavelength of ultraviolet light? ◆ Can a UV cut filter for projectors be coated? ◆ I would like to consult about the degradation of optical components. ◆ I would like to consult about filters that minimize the impact on the human body. ◆ Is it possible to custom adjust the wavelength range that I want to transmit?

It is a dielectric multilayer film filter that transmits visible light and reflects near-infrared light.

It is used as a near-infrared cut filter that adversely affects CCD devices such as video cameras. The optical characteristics, such as the wavelength position with a transmittance of 50%, transmittance, and cut wavelength band, can be set arbitrarily. (Are you facing such challenges?) Is it possible to cut only the wavelength of near-infrared light? I want to allow visible light to pass while blocking IR wavelengths. I want to suppress light that causes noise and increase the sensitivity of the sensor. Can the wavelength range I want to transmit be custom adjusted? Is it possible to process it to chip size?

It is an optical thin-film filter that reduces the reflectance at specific wavelengths and improves transmittance. By increasing the amount of light, it contributes to energy saving and power reduction.

Light reflects at the boundary surface with air, causing 4% reflection on one side and 8% reflection on both sides of the glass, resulting in a reflection of one's own image. An anti-reflective coating (AR = Anti Reflection Coating) is an optical thin film that utilizes the principle of interference by alternately depositing dielectrics with different refractive indices, reducing the reflectance of specific wavelengths and improving transmittance. Are you facing any of these issues? - Want to reduce reflections and ghosting in window materials? - Is there a way to improve visibility and achieve clearer image quality? - Looking to reduce internal reflections and prevent flare? - Want to increase light levels to contribute to energy savings? - Can we design an anti-reflective coating (AR) that takes the angle of incidence into account?

It is an optical filter that cuts ultraviolet and infrared light while having a high transmittance in the visible light range.

A UV-IR cut filter is a filter that cuts light in the ultraviolet and infrared regions while having a high transmission rate in the visible light region. In other words, it is an optical filter that simultaneously realizes the characteristics of both a UV cut filter and an IR cut filter. By placing it in front of CMOS sensors or CCD sensors, it serves multiple roles such as cutting noise light, providing heat protection against various light sources, and preventing degradation of liquid crystal components due to ultraviolet light. It is an excellent optical filter and optical thin film with multiple functions. Are you facing any of these issues? - Is it possible to cut both ultraviolet and near-infrared light? - Can a filter be made that allows visible light to pass while blocking IR and UV wavelengths? - I want to reduce noise light and increase sensor sensitivity. Can I consult about this? - Is it possible to customize the wavelength range that I want to transmit? - Is processing to chip size possible?

This is a mirror that reflects near-infrared light, which causes heat. It has a proven track record in projectors and lighting devices where temperature rise is a concern.

1) Are you facing such issues? ■ I want to prevent the temperature from rising due to near-infrared light emitted from the light source. ■ Projectors and lighting devices are getting too hot. ■ Is it possible to transmit visible light while reflecting near-infrared (NIR)? ■ Can the wavelength range of the mirror be customized? 2) What is a hot mirror? A hot mirror is used in projectors and lighting devices where temperature rise due to infrared radiation is a concern. By using a hot mirror, it is possible to suppress temperature rise and enable bright light source design. As for the coating, it has a special coating that transmits visible light and reflects more than 95% of near-infrared light (NIR). It is used in lighting equipment that employs halogen or xenon light sources, as well as in light source reflection mirrors for medical devices.

Standard stock items include anti-reflective films, bandpass filters (BPF filters), and infrared cut filters (IR cut filters), among others.

We will start selling some optical thin film products (optical filter products) and patterned processing products as "standard stock items." We have responded to such requests! ◆ It's difficult to bear the cost of a whole batch when only a few pieces are needed for experiments... ◆ I want to see product development and performance tests quickly, so I need a few pieces at different levels... ◆ I just want to try it out for now... We often hear such voices through inquiries from our website. Even if custom-made filters are ultimately needed, I believe it is very difficult to define complete filter performance from the beginning.

In civil engineering sites such as mountainous areas and construction sites, it may be necessary to use wooden boards on slopes or inclined access roads. Hyper CLT boards are civil engineering materials utilizing wood CLT, which can be laid not only on flat ground but also on sloped terrain. They can be used for temporary roads, access routes, heavy machinery entry paths, and measures against muddy conditions, creating a driving environment that takes advantage of the unique surface characteristics of wood. The 5×10 board weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 board weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, which is a notable feature for maneuverability in narrow sites. This wooden board is registered as a technology under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's NETIS system as "TH-250021-A," and can also be utilized for safety measures and innovative ideas in public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Repairs using conventional welding methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Waterworks Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be performed even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

● The production time for cast prototypes can be shortened! Since model making is not required, the production time for prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! Different products, such as similar shapes or varying dimensions, can be molded at the same time in one molding process. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.
