A broadband electromagnetic wave absorption sheet that absorbs millimeter waves across a wide frequency range with this one sheet.

This is a sheet-type electromagnetic wave absorber that can be used for noise countermeasures in millimeter-wave radar, millimeter-wave sensing, information communication devices (Beyond 5G), and more. Unlike conventional products that absorb only specific frequencies, this sheet can absorb a wide range of millimeter waves extending to several tens of GHz, allowing it to accommodate multiple devices with different frequencies using just one sheet. The design of the sheet also allows for adjustment of the absorption frequency to the desired band. It is lightweight and flexible, making it possible to process into any shape, and can be attached to various locations by providing an adhesive layer.

A future film that can serve as an actuator, a sensor, and a power generation element all in one.

Dielectric elastomers are flexible polymer materials that deform under voltage. Our company laminates conductive elastomers with dielectric elastomers, allowing them to be used as is without the need for applying carbon grease. We are exploring a wide range of applications that leverage the deformation characteristics due to electrostatic forces. Furthermore, we are also considering applications for power generation using dielectric elastomers.

Next-generation sheets that enrich the ocean. They create new seaweed beds and contribute to achieving carbon neutrality!

Once rich, the seagrass beds are decreasing year by year due to environmental changes and human impact. Seagrass beds serve as habitats for marine life and also play a role as "blue carbon" by absorbing and sequestering CO₂. Now, the restoration of seagrass beds is urgently needed for both ecosystem conservation and climate change mitigation. To tackle this challenge, we are developing a sheet that enables the easy construction of seagrass beds.

Industry-leading functional anti-fouling film! Used in marine environments, it prevents contamination from marine organisms simply by being applied.

An anti-fouling film for marine organisms is a special film that has properties that make it difficult for marine organisms such as barnacles, crustaceans, mollusks, and algae (fouling organisms) to adhere in the ocean. By applying it to areas where marine fouling organisms are problematic, such as measuring instruments used in the ocean, marine sports equipment, fishing gear, boat bottoms, seawater intake areas, and structures where anti-fouling paint is difficult to apply, it becomes harder for fouling organisms to attach, and any minor adhesion can be easily wiped off, making maintenance easier. Additionally, since it has an adhesive film structure, you can choose between a strong adhesive type suitable for long-term use where peeling would be problematic, or a re-peelable type that can be applied and removed as needed, depending on the application.

We have newly installed a multi-layer extruder in our "Custom Made System," which supports the development and contract processing of customer-specific films, serving as the core of our small test equipment!

The "Custom Made System" supports film development and contract processing tailored to customer specifications, from planning and development to mass production. We have newly installed a multilayer extruder on our small-scale test machine line, which has an effective width of approximately 200mm, capable of handling 2 to 3 layers up to 5 layers. Until now, the development of multilayer films and laminates could only be verified on actual mass production lines during the initial consideration phase, but we expect that the possibilities for new development will greatly expand in the future. *The conventional single-layer extrusion test equipment can still be used as before. Please make use of our "Custom Made System" for the development of high-functionality and high-value-added new films.

[Instructor] Miki Yoshinobu, President and CEO of Toraizu Co., Ltd. (Former Chief of Staff at SoftBank) [Key Lecture Content] During his time as Chief of Staff at SoftBank, the instructor developed a "super practical project management technique to reach goals in the shortest and fastest way" after being given numerous challenging projects by President Masayoshi Son. "This project management skill is not something that is only necessary for special projects. In today's rapidly changing environment, routine work is fundamentally disappearing. It is becoming essential to continuously reassess everything from a zero-based perspective. In other words, whether it's creating materials requested by a superior or engaging in sales activities, everything has become 'project-like work.' Therefore, in this seminar, we will clearly explain the basics of project management and practical methods for the field."
