Application Introduction / Vibration Absorption and Viscoelastic Properties of Polyolefin-based Materials - Measurement and Control of Residual Solvent Levels in the Wire Coating Process

◆Vibration Absorption and Viscoelastic Properties of Polyolefin-based Materials Materials with vibration absorption properties are attracting attention as they enable improvements in labor and living environments through soundproofing and vibration isolation. It is believed that vibration absorption occurs due to energy loss associated with internal friction in the material, and the amount of energy loss is known to correlate with the material's viscoelastic properties. By conducting viscoelastic measurements of the material, information regarding vibration absorption can be obtained. ◆Measurement and Control of Residual Solvent Levels in Wire Coating Processes Insulated wires used in discrete wiring circuit boards can cause various product defects (blisters, delamination, etc.) due to residual solvents present in the wire coating material. However, by utilizing thermal analysis techniques for the detection and quantification of residual solvents, it is possible to implement high-precision quality control.

[Speaker] Arthur D. Little Japan, Inc. Partner Yu Hamada Principal Mikio Mizushima Consultant Daiki Masumoto [Key Lecture Content] The domestic sports industry is currently attracting attention as a growth area with both economic and social value. Supported by policy backgrounds, investments from both public and private sectors, including the development of stadiums and arenas, are becoming more active, transforming it into an attractive industry for companies considering new entries. What will be crucial moving forward is how to connect investments to sustainable monetization. Beyond mere support or branding, strategies that leverage sports as business assets are being called into question. In this lecture, we will consider these trends and redefine sports as a management asset that goes beyond mere entertainment or regional promotion, exploring the essentials for companies to enter and monetize from multiple perspectives. [Lecture Items] 1. Changes in the external environment surrounding the sports industry 2. New business opportunities created by "active sports" 3. Industrialization driven by "spectator sports" 4. Key points for companies to secure revenue opportunities when entering the market 5. Summary of today's discussion 6. Q&A / Business card exchange

Venue attendance / Live streaming / Archive streaming (available for viewing multiple times over two weeks) [Instructor] Keiji Ono, Senior Researcher, National Defense Medical College, Ministry of Defense [Key Lecture Content] The defense industry has primarily focused on the manufacturing of heavy and large-scale products such as vehicles, vessels, aircraft, artillery, and ammunition. However, in recent years, global defense spending has increased, and the industrial structure has expanded into the realms of space, cyber, and electromagnetic waves. Japan is also facing a new phase in its history and current situation, shaped by post-war constraints, with the rise of IT and space-related startups shaking the framework centered around large corporations. Nevertheless, challenges such as organizational rigidity and slow decision-making remain, and the weaknesses pointed out in "The Essence of Failure" have not been overcome. This lecture will consider the new trends and prospects of the defense industry from both the possibilities and limitations, taking into account global trends and Japan's challenges. [Lecture Items] 1. Global defense spending / Defense industry 2. Global trends in the defense industry (West vs. China and Russia) 3. Japan's defense industry / Past and present 4. The rise of startup companies 5. Questions raised by "The Essence of Failure" 6. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Instructor] Refresh Communications Communication Designer / Human Resource Development Consultant Yoshida Yukihiro [Key Lecture Content] In the VUCA era, it has become difficult to derive correct answers from existing experiences. It is precisely because we are in an era without clear answers that creative power and foresight are increasingly required. There is now a significant difference in results between leaders who possess these abilities and those who do not. Leaders with these qualities are characterized by their high ability to "engage members," and their leadership styles are "everyone leadership" and "servant leadership." In this course, we will focus on the overall picture of servant leadership and its 12 elements, presenting them in a way that can be immediately practiced. Following that, we will explain both skills and mindsets related to "subordinate-centered management," "psychological safety," "subordinate marketing," and "methods of encouragement," to enable subordinates to take initiative and perform at their best.
