Reducing friction loss in internal combustion engines through non-cylindrical honing processing.

Gäuling's Non-Cylindrical Honing (FormHoning) Gäuling has developed a honing method that takes into account the distortion during engine operation, rather than manufacturing cylindrical bores. The distortion of the bore shape is countered by creating an inverted shape through the FormHoning method, maintaining a cylindrical shape even during operation. [Features] ■ FormHoning Light simulates the thermal distortion inside the bore during engine combustion and is a technology that intentionally hones the bore shape into various non-cylindrical shapes. ■ By processing the bore into a non-cylindrical shape with FormHoning Light, the contact between the piston skirt and the bore during combustion is reduced, thereby decreasing friction. ■ FormHoning Professional utilizes a special honing tool equipped with an expansion mechanism using piezo elements to optimize local piston clearance and reduce bore deformation caused by static and thermal distortion. This achieves a cylindrical bore without distortion even during engine combustion, reduces ring tension, and decreases friction resistance between the piston skirt and cylinder bore, as well as CO2 emissions.

Optimal for rough surface processing of thermal spray bores, laser rough surface processing machine.

Rough surface processing (laser roughening) is equipment that performs rough surface processing inside engine bores using lasers. This is done to enhance the adhesion between the base material and the thermal spray material. By creating a special profile shape on the inner surface of the bore with a laser, it not only generates a higher adhesion compared to conventional mechanical roughening but also allows for a shallower depth of the roughening profile. This not only reduces the cycle time for thermal spraying but also significantly decreases the amount of thermal spray material used. 【Features】 ■ By configuring the equipment in a two-axis structure, simultaneous processing of #1 bore and #3 bore, as well as #2 bore and #4 bore, is possible.

[Lecturers] Daisuke Tateno, Partner, Arthur D. Little Japan K.K. Akihiro Nagayama, Principal [Key Lecture Content] Drones, AI, software, satellites, and electronic warfare are fundamentally changing the way wars are fought, and the defense industry is currently transitioning from a heavy and traditional model to one centered around AI, software, data, and unmanned systems. In the United States, emerging companies like Palantir and Anduril, which are software-driven, are challenging existing defense firms. In Japan, structural changes are beginning with the Defense Capability Development Plan, the Defense Industry Base Strengthening Act, and the entry of startups. This seminar will discuss the changes in the global security environment and industrial structure, the strategies of advanced players both domestically and internationally, and the areas where Japanese companies can succeed, including dual-use, collaboration with software companies, M&A and alliances, and talent strategies. We will consider how to view change not as a threat but as a growth opportunity, and how to construct a new Japanese defense industry from a management perspective.

[Speaker] Kazuki Miyamoto, Representative/Analyst, VentureClef, USA [Key Lecture Content] The frontier model in the United States is evolving at an unexpected speed. AI agents based on the frontier model have completely transformed business forms in companies. Chinese companies are developing large-scale open source projects, and their performance is approaching that of the U.S. model. Meanwhile, U.S. companies have begun developing open source, leading to a direct confrontation between the U.S. and China. The seminar will examine the frontier models of both countries and explain the latest technologies and important trends. It will organize points on how Japanese companies should perceive the U.S.-China AI development competition from technological and business perspectives. It will also consider strategies for companies to succeed in the AI era, including the differentiation between the U.S. and Chinese models, as well as the advantages and challenges of open source versus closed source.

[Speaker] Chief Expert Ji Hui, Future Creation Center, Nomura Research Institute, Inc. [Key Lecture Content] *We plan to update with the latest information based on field research as necessary.* At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference held in Shanghai in July 2026, Huawei unveiled its next-generation computing infrastructure products based on its proprietary AI chips, attracting significant attention. Amid ongoing U.S. export restrictions on advanced semiconductors, Huawei demonstrated its approach to overcoming the performance limits of standalone chips through "systems engineering," showcasing its commitment to leading the development of an autonomous AI ecosystem in China, encompassing computing infrastructure, cloud, OS, and AI models. Based on the latest field research results, this lecture will explain the latest trends in Huawei's AI strategy (computing infrastructure, AI models: AI social implementation, AI ecosystem, etc.) in the context of the overall landscape of China's AI industry. [Lecture Topics] 1. Current State of China's AI Industry 2. Progress in Domestic Production of Infrastructure 3. Huawei's Full-Stack AI Ecosystem 4. Future Prospects 5. Q&A
