With the adoption of a CCD camera, the boundaries of each layer are clear! You can change the colors and shades of the image!

The "Model 518PC" is a dry film thickness gauge equipped with a CCD camera in the microscope section. Using software, the boundaries of each layer in the cut image are specified with circles, and the film thickness is automatically calculated based on the distance of each layer and the angle of the drill. Additionally, if the boundaries of the layers are difficult to distinguish, this product allows for changes in the color and shading of the image, making the boundaries of each layer clearer. We also offer the "Model 518MC," which can measure multilayer coating film thickness by layer. 【Features of Model 518PC】 ■ Easily calculate the film thickness of each layer with software ■ The use of a CCD camera makes the boundaries of each layer clear ■ Capable of saving numerical data and images ■ Allows for retrieval and recalculation of image data ■ Reduces individual differences in measurements *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

[Speaker] Masato Kimura, International Journalist in London [Key Lecture Content] The 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP30) was held in Belém, Pará, Brazil, at the mouth of the Amazon River. The much-anticipated roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels revealed deep divisions, with the only significant outcome being the tripling of adaptation funding to \$120 billion per year. Moreover, the deadline was pushed back from 2030 to 2035, becoming merely a target. The lack of leadership from Brazil, the host country prioritizing the image of being "the leader of the Amazon," the absence of the United States, Europe's financial struggles, and China's prioritization of its own interests have all contributed to these divisions. Amid escalating North-South conflicts between developed and developing countries, the United Nations' multilateralism is becoming dysfunctional. [Lecture Items] 1. The venue, Belém 2. The emerging divisions 3. The absence of the United States - Big tech and fossil fuel companies are expanding data centers across the U.S. 4. The increasing presence of China - New energy ecosystems: solar power, storage, hydrogen 5. Japan becoming a regular recipient of the Fossil Award - CCS (carbon capture and storage), co-firing of hydrogen and ammonia 6. The rebellion of indigenous peoples 7. Q&A

[Speaker] Mizuho Research & Technologies Co., Ltd. Manager Takahiro Kirihara, Sustainability Consulting Division 1 [Key Lecture Content] In February 2025, the "GX2040 Vision" was announced. Recent domestic GX policies have primarily focused on supporting the supply of GX products, as exemplified by the GX Promotion Act and GX Transition Bonds. However, this vision emphasizes the need for demand stimulation measures for companies on the purchasing side, considering the current challenges in achieving carbon neutrality solely through market principles. As measures aimed at creating a GX market are planned for the future, we will examine the responses that companies should undertake to capture the anticipated expansion of the GX market. [Lecture Items] 1. Overview of domestic GX policies and the positioning of "visualization of GHG emissions" within GX policies 2. Overview of overseas policies related to "visualization of GHG emissions" 3. Recent trends in the visualization of GHG emissions 3.1 Movements regarding inter-company data collaboration in GHG emissions calculation 3.2 New indicators for GHG emissions; reduction performance 4. Responses that companies should undertake 5. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Speaker] Takuki Abe, President and CEO of CINCA Inc. [Key Lecture Content] "I can't find the seeds for new business." "I'm making no progress in launching new businesses haphazardly." This challenge faced by many companies is largely due to the know-how relying on individual experiences and not being established within the company as a reproducible "model." CINCA specializes in the 0→1 of new business development and has established reproducible launch know-how through its experiences. In this lecture, Takuki Abe, the author of "The Ultimate Practical 0→1 Strategy Guide for Successful New Business Development," will present practical techniques for conducting reproducible business validation using generative AI. If you are struggling with launching new businesses, please join us. [Lecture Items] 1. Overview of new business 2. How to generate high-probability business ideas 3.
