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.

[Instructor] Paulstar Communications Inc. Representative Director Koji Kita [Key Lecture Content] Have you ever felt that, despite entrusting work to Generation Z and young employees, they "don't seem to get started," "don't lead to the expected results," or "it's ultimately faster to do it myself"? Behind these situations are various factors, including the recognition gap between supervisors and young employees regarding "entrusting and being entrusted," how to communicate the purpose of the work, the approach, and the scope of discretion, as well as how to follow up after delegating tasks. In this seminar, we will practically explain "how to delegate work" to elicit proactive behavior, taking into account the perspectives and behavioral characteristics of Generation Z and young employees. We will share specific management techniques to help supervisors break free from the burden of work, encourage the autonomy and growth of young employees, and steadily lead to results.

[Speaker] Yoichiro Okuyama, Senior Researcher, Research Department, Hamagin Research Institute, Inc. [Key Lecture Content] In China, the operation of autonomous taxis began in 2021, and now fully unmanned robo-taxis are running in cities like Beijing and Shenzhen. Experiencing a ride reveals the evolution of technology through natural acceleration, smooth steering, and seamless deceleration. Currently, there are several thousand vehicles in operation, but projections suggest that by 2030, this number could exceed one million, accounting for 70% of the global total. What are the underlying factors driving the social implementation of robo-taxis in China? By incorporating local test ride experiences, we will analyze the revenue situation of robo-taxi operating companies and the outlook for market expansion based on data, exploring their future potential. [Lecture Items] 1. Personal experiences of test riding robo-taxis in China 2. Trends in the market size of robo-taxis in China and globally 3. Background of the advancing social implementation of robo-taxis in China 4. Public acceptance and actual usage 5. Performance and challenges of major robo-taxi companies 6. Will robo-taxis become widespread in Japan as well? 7. Q&A / Business card exchange
