First introduction of a large-capacity elevator-type thermal shock device for European automobile manufacturers!

The resistance of the test sample to temperature changes is evaluated by alternately exposing it to high and low temperature environments for short periods. Rapid temperature changes can be repeatedly applied to check for cracks or failures in the test sample. 【Equipment Overview】 ■ Air Chamber Type Thermal Shock Device Automatically switches the airflow into the test area using dampers to continuously apply thermal shock. ■ Humidity Thermal Shock Device A testing device capable of conducting cold and heat cycle tests as well as condensation cycles. ■ Elevating Thermal Shock Device *Newly Introduced The test area has two zones (high temperature and low temperature) that can be moved up and down, allowing for quick attainment of the set temperature and reduction of test time. With internal dimensions of 650x650x650, it has specifications suitable for testing for European automotive manufacturers. ■ Others Also capable of conducting splash water tests.

Newly introduced High Accelerated Stress Test (HAST CHAMBER) equipment! Accelerated life tests, including the pressure cooker test, are now possible.

By significantly increasing the vapor pressure in the test chamber above the vapor pressure of the moisture inside the sample, the intrusion of moisture into the sample can be accelerated, allowing for a quicker evaluation of moisture resistance. The pressure cooker test is conducted in an environment with temperatures above 100°C and a high-density water vapor atmosphere. 【Scope of Application】 Small electronic components, primarily those that are not hermetically sealed. However, it does not aim to evaluate effects occurring on the surface of the sample, such as corrosion or deformation. 【Test Overview】 - An electrical bias is usually applied to the sample. - The test conditions should be carefully selected, as they can significantly impact the failure modes that occur in the specimen. - The tests are conducted at a relative humidity of 85% across three different temperature levels. The severity of the test is defined by the duration of each test.

Multiple composite environmental vibration testing machines and large composite environmental vibration testing machines are available for use.

Vibration testing simulates the usage and transportation environments to verify whether the product can perform its functions. Products that are not affected by vibrations during normal use still need to consider the vibrations experienced during transportation. 【Equipment Overview】 ● Combined Environmental Vibration Test System Simultaneously or individually controls three environmental conditions: "vibration," "temperature," and "humidity," applying environmental stress to the test samples. This allows for testing that aligns with actual environmental conditions, resulting in more reliable tests. ● Vibration Test System Main tests include sinusoidal vibration tests, random vibration tests, and shock tests to confirm vibration resistance performance. ● Shock Test System Capable of generating various pulse types (positive half sine, sawtooth, trapezoidal) for the required shock action duration. ● Drop Test System Can securely hold test samples weighing up to 5 kg in any orientation, allowing for stable free-fall tests.

About ROAD: The "Roundtable on the Purpose of Autonomous Driving (ROAD)" conference series has evolved into a unique platform for interdis-ciplinary dialogue and international collaboration in the field of autonomous driving and autonomous mobility. Established in 2016, ROAD has brought together researchers, industry leaders, and public sector stakeholders from six countries across three continents. Based on this background, the upcoming ROAD 2026 will focus on "safety” and "driving AI”—the final pieces of the autonomous driving puzzle—to advance discussions on establishing the foundational framework for ensuring safety quality and obtaining regular-tory approval for autonomous driving. We also intend to discuss the international commonalities and differences regarding the social value brought about by ADS vehicles in terms of automation, intelligent driving, and mobility. We have established a total of five compelling themes for the Round Workshops, consisting of two topics related to “The Last Piece” and three topics related to the social value of ADS, as shown below. 1) Round Workshop 1 - Horizons of E2E Driving AI → Can AI Understand the Driving Environment Like Humans? 2) Round Workshop 2 - Beyond the Unknown: Safety Cases for ADS → Can Safety Ever Be Proven? 3) Round Workshop 3 - Envisioning Smart City Mobility → Can Smart City Mobility Bridge the Mobility Divide? 4) Round Workshop 4 - Logistics Enhancement Through Autonomous Tracking → Will Logistics Become Human-Free? 5) Round Workshop 5 - The Evolution of CASE: SDV/AIDV → Will Automakers Become AI Companies? We hope you’ll all join us!

[Instructor] Yuichiro Kabushiki, Partner Lawyer at TMI Comprehensive Law Office [Key Lecture Content] With the spread of AI, there is growing attention on the civil liability of developers, providers, and users of AI. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will publish "Guidelines on the Interpretation and Application of Civil Liability in AI Utilization" in April 2026, and the Ministry of Justice will also establish an expert meeting to examine civil liability related to unauthorized use of images and voices generated by AI in the same month. As the full enforcement of the AI Promotion Act and the revision of AI guidelines are underway, it is necessary to design and operate governance based on the potential responsibilities that may arise retrospectively. In this seminar, based on the guidelines from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and drawing on litigation practice experience as a judge and lawyer, we will organize the basic framework for assessing civil liability and explain fundamental methods for designing and operating governance based on risk analysis. Furthermore, we will examine the framework for civil liability and the design and operation of governance using hypothetical cases that are likely to pose practical issues.

In this seminar, we will welcome Mr. Satoru Hayami from Waseda University, who will explain the latest trends in AI utilization in manufacturing, as well as the evolution of technologies such as agent-based AI and physical AI, and the opportunities and key points for practical application in the manufacturing industry. Furthermore, Mr. Tsubasa Shibata, representative of Next Opt, will introduce processes aimed at practical implementation, incorporating actual case studies from manufacturing sites. We hope you will envision the "potential for AI utilization in your company" and take home hints that will lead to improvements in your operations starting tomorrow. We look forward to your participation.
