A modular chassis capable of accommodating up to 20 line cards for Ethernet OAM-compatible media converters.

The "LEX3020" is a 2U high, 19-inch rack-mounted chassis that can accommodate up to 20 media converters from the LEX3000 series. The chassis features a special insertion and removal structure in its slots, allowing the line card to tilt to the right when the screws are loosened during removal, causing the card to protrude forward. This design enables smooth insertion and removal of cards while preventing the loss of screws. Additionally, a tray for managing excess fiber length is incorporated at the bottom of the slots.

Recently, we held technical training sessions for the MilkoScan FT3 at five locations nationwide. In this training, we provided a wide range of useful information for operating the equipment, including explanations of the principles and structure of the device, how to create measurement products, daily maintenance, and how to respond to issues when they arise. Additionally, this year we introduced new methods for utilizing digital services (such as FossCalibrator and IQX) and also prepared hands-on sessions where participants could experience operating the equipment using a PC. Thank you to everyone who participated. Please feel free to contact us with any questions after the training. ------- At Foss Japan, in addition to training sessions and workshops to ensure you can use our equipment with confidence, we hold many events throughout the year. In seminars and open houses tailored to specific industries and analytical techniques, we showcase Foss's latest analytical solutions. -------

[Lecturers] EY Strategy and Consulting Co., Ltd. Infrastructure Advisory Partner Kenichiro Fukuda Strategy Partner Ken Fujiyama Infrastructure Advisory Director Takashi Matsumura [Key Lecture Content] The water supply and sewage business is facing structural challenges such as facility aging, a shortage of workforce, and a decrease in revenue due to population decline. The government is promoting the introduction of Water PPPs, regional consolidation, and the digital transformation of water supply and sewage systems, marking a significant turning point in the way these businesses are operated. This change is expanding business opportunities for private companies in various areas, including operation and maintenance, pipeline renewal, digital technology, and the utilization of smart meters and data. Additionally, as a means of expanding business domains and enhancing competitiveness, there has been an increase in capital and operational partnerships and M&A between companies, leading to industry restructuring. In this seminar, based on the latest trends in policy and the market, we will introduce business strategies for private companies to enter and expand in the water supply and sewage market, including the use of M&A and capital operational partnerships, drawing on achievements from both public and private support.

[Speaker] Mitsui & Co., Ltd. Research Institute, Technology and Innovation Information Department Senior Project Manager, Zhao Jian [Key Lecture Content] Low-cost lithium iron phosphate (LFP) lithium-ion batteries are expanding their adoption worldwide. To prepare for future mass emissions, promoting their recycling is essential. However, due to the low material value of LFP batteries, ensuring the profitability of recycling operations has become a challenge. In pursuit of profitability, Chinese companies are seeking economies of scale and integrating battery material manufacturing, while in Europe and other regions, there is a focus on developing high-efficiency and high-purity recovery technologies such as direct recycling. This lecture will explain the current status, challenges, latest trends in technology development, and the impact on the battery supply chain regarding LFP battery recycling. [Lecture Items] 1. The necessity of LFP battery recycling 2. The current status of LFP battery recycling 3. Efforts to improve the profitability of LFP battery recycling 4. Impact on the supply chain & summary 5.
