You can analyze and measure the durability and strength of materials yourself! Automatic MSE testing! Automatically acquires characteristics and distributions in the depth direction from the material surface.

The device consists of a "physical etching (particle erosion) section" and an "erosion shape measurement section." By precisely eroding the sample surface and continuously acquiring depth measurements, it is possible to evaluate strength comparisons, strength cross-sectional distributions, thickness and strength of each layer, and in-plane strength distributions. This allows for the acquisition of a large amount of information in a short time on material surfaces that have been difficult to measure until now. It enables the quantification of subtle differences, such as comparing film strengths from different deposition processes or visualizing degradation levels at various depths, which can help determine the direction of development within the company. Additionally, the particle erosion method can be tested on objects that are not flat, including curved or complex shapes. Actual parts can be tested as they are.

A new method for precisely measuring the surface strength of thin films and materials through commissioned analysis and testing. This innovative strength testing method utilizes impact energy, which is not present in conventional tests.

The testing method is a new mechanical property (strength) testing technique that can measure the strength of material surfaces with nanometer-level resolution. It has two innovative features: one is the ability to obtain a "continuous strength distribution from the surface to the interior," and the other is the "visualization of the dual characteristics of materials, such as being hard and brittle." It allows for the easy acquisition of strength distribution in thin films, coatings, and surface treatments, which can be useful for material evaluation and design quality assurance. [Purpose of Development] The MSE test is a technology developed to measure the precise mechanical properties (strength domain) of material surfaces, originating from a collaboration between industry and academia with Fukui University. [Technology] It measures strength by using the phenomenon of precisely eroding (fracturing) the test specimen with a large number of micro-particles. As a result, it enables strength measurement at various depths while eroding from the surface, creating a new effect of obtaining a continuous strength distribution from the surface to the interior. *For more details, please download the catalog or contact us!

A precision grinding device that even beginners can easily use! Difficult high-precision pre-processing can be done by anyone! Ultra-low angle diagonal grinding and relief grinding that make deep grinding possible!

"PERET" is a polishing device for pre-analysis treatment during sample preparation, developed from MSE technology, aimed at observation and analysis. Our new product "PERET" addresses the following concerns: "I want to perform polishing more precisely and see cross-sections at a 1μ scale." "I want to conduct advanced analysis with the microscope I have." It is designed to solve the problems faced by customers in research and development departments and product analysis. With angled polishing, it enables depth-direction observation and analysis using SEM or XPS over a wide area from a single polished surface. Additionally, relief polishing allows for precise observation and analysis of defects and material distribution within a large area of the polished surface. 【Features】 ■ Does not cause chemical alteration that occurs from nm-level removal ■ Relief polishing, angled polishing, and polishing without resin alteration ■ High-resolution polishing at 10nm increments ■ Polishing that brings cross-sections to the surface *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Although I have heard that verification efficiency at the RTL stage improves with verification methodologies using SystemVerilog such as UVM, many designers may not fully understand what can be done with SystemVerilog and how to use it. In this seminar, we will introduce the basic functions and usefulness of SystemVerilog verification using a sample design. 1. Design Overview 2. UART Test Environment 3. Assertions (SVA & PSL) 4. Functional Coverage 5. Random Test Bench 6. DPI-C

The RTCA/DO-254 guidance recommends that applicants define and implement HDL coding standards. This work begins with a planning process that includes the definition of the standard, how it will be implemented, and, if the process is automated, the evaluation methods for tools or results. A key issue is that the guidance does not have clearly defined formal standards, leading to questions about how to conduct a detailed review of HDL code. In this webinar, we will demonstrate the use of ALINT-PRO to enforce coding standards and highlight the benefits of streamlining the overall design review to meet the objectives of DO-254.

[Speaker] Takahiro Tachikawa, President of International University and Professor at the Graduate School of International Management [Key Lecture Content] In February of this year, the 7th Energy Basic Plan was approved by the Cabinet. What is the essence of this plan that the media and others do not convey? How will this plan impact the development and social implementation of hydrogen, ammonia, and next-generation fuels (synthetic methane, synthetic liquid fuels, green LP gas, etc.)? This lecture will delve into these points. In particular, it will focus on the content of the risk scenario, which is viewed as the main scenario among stakeholders in the energy industry, and the newly defined role of natural gas as an "important energy source even after achieving carbon neutrality."

[Lecturer] Professor Shiro Kawabata, Faculty of Science and Technology, Hosei University [Key Lecture Content] Prime Minister Ishiba has positioned 2025 as the inaugural year for the industrialization of quantum technology and has indicated a policy to strengthen support for the industrialization of quantum technology. Additionally, at the G7 Summit held in Canada in June 2025, a joint statement titled "Joint Statement on the Future of Quantum Technology," focusing on quantum technology centered around quantum computers, was adopted. Quantum computers are computers that utilize principles of quantum mechanics, such as superposition and quantum entanglement, for information processing. By using quantum computers, it becomes possible to solve several mathematical problems, such as factorization, machine learning, quantum chemistry calculations, finance, and linear simultaneous equations, exponentially faster compared to classical computers. As a result, major global corporations and startups are globally expanding their development and business in quantum computer hardware and software. This seminar will introduce the basics of quantum computers, the latest research and development trends, business trends, technical challenges, and future prospects.

[Speaker] Shintaro Kobayashi, Group Manager, ICT and Content Industry Consulting Department, Nomura Research Institute, Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] The Personal Information Protection Law is undergoing fundamental changes to promote AI development. The Personal Information Protection Commission has proposed a shift towards a risk-based system where companies voluntarily address risks. A key feature of this new system is the establishment of a framework that allows the use of personal information for AI development without the need for individual consent. In this lecture, based on the policy of legal reform, we will carefully explain the points for advancing data utilization by leveraging the legal benefits of the new system, as well as how to establish privacy governance that should drive these efforts, incorporating specific initiatives and examples of solutions. [Lecture Items] 1. Trends in the amendment of the Personal Information Protection Law 2. Practical methods for utilizing personal information without individual consent 3. PETs for safely utilizing AI 4. Achieving governance efficiency and sophistication through AI 5. Q&A / Business card exchange
