DKSH Japan Co., Ltd. will exhibit at SURTECH 2017 (Surface Technology Exhibition).

Would you like to introduce the flying stone test that is in demand worldwide?

Developed with the cooperation of the automotive industry (VDA, Frankfurt), this testing machine allows for the reproduction and comparison of results from flying stones impacting automobiles and trains. It blasts standardized steel micropowder at high speed onto coated test specimens. This test specimen can also be effectively used for other coating tests, such as corrosion testing.

• Testing Equipment and Devices

A spray droplet particle measurement system that replaces phase Doppler method and laser diffraction method.

AOM Systems' SpraySpy is a completely new spray droplet/spray particle measurement system that uses a unique pulse displacement method (Time-Shift technique). It has obtained international patents and can simultaneously measure the size, velocity, and particle density of opaque or non-spherical particles and high-density spray particles, which was difficult with existing technologies such as phase Doppler method or laser diffraction method. Additionally, since the laser emission and detection parts are the same for detecting backscattered light, it eliminates the need for complicated adjustments of the detection part's position.

• Testing Equipment and Devices

High-precision viscosity measurement with a minimum of 10μL of micro-sample, up to 100,000 cp. Fully automated system compatible with 96-well plates. Also supports shear rate scanning.

A new ultra-micro viscometer utilizing microfluidic control and microelectromechanical systems technology. The VROC Initium is a fully automated model that handles everything from sample introduction to channel cleaning, solving the issues of traditional viscosity measurement that required cumbersome procedures and large sample volumes. It contributes to research and development and quality control across a wide range of fields, including biopharmaceuticals, biological samples, inkjet inks, various petrochemical products, and battery materials.

[Speaker] Masanori Hayashi Evangelist, NTT Docomo Business, Inc. Visiting Researcher, GLOCOM, International University [Key Lecture Content] The application areas of AI are expanding from generative AI to AI agents and physical AI, while the main battlefield of AI infrastructure is shifting from learning-centric to inference-centric. Against the backdrop of rapidly growing AI demand, investments and entries into AI data centers by various businesses are accelerating. However, new challenges are emerging, such as increasing power and cooling demands, responses to data sovereignty, and the utilization of GX strategy regional systems for data center aggregation. This lecture will overview the latest trends in the AI data center market and investment trends, as well as organize technological innovations such as GPUs, liquid cooling, and all-optical networks, along with policy and institutional trends and industrial challenges. Furthermore, it will envision the future of a decentralized AI infrastructure that connects AI factories, data centers, and the edge, and discuss new industrial foundations and future competitive axes through watt-bit collaboration.
