High-speed camera shooting is possible! A drop weight impact testing machine that easily synchronizes video and load signals.

The "9400 Series" is a drop weight impact testing machine that can be used not only for punching but also for compression, three-point bending, and tensile-tensile impact tests. As the use of thermoplastics, composites, and metal alloys as high-performance materials for weight reduction in automotive, aerospace, and defense applications increases, the need to streamline the product development process and confirm the consistency between simulations and test results is extremely important. The weight is adjusted to maintain a constant strain rate and speed as much as possible throughout the elongation of the specimen during the impact event. 【Features】 ■ Capable of measuring high strain rates at impact speeds of up to 22 m/s ■ Tensile impact fixture test temperature range: -50 to +120°C (standard piezo sensor) ■ Transparent panels are placed around the test area, allowing for high-speed camera recording ■ Easy synchronization of video and load signals ■ DIC analysis to evaluate the longitudinal strain of the specimen after impact in a tensile impact condition *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Measuring the residual strength of composite laminates after damage! Introducing the CAI test procedure!

The "Post-Impact Compression (CAI) Test" is a two-step test developed to evaluate the potential damage of composite laminate materials using test specimens. In the first step, a drop-weight impact testing machine is used to apply visible impact damage (BVID) to the test specimen. In the second step, a static universal material testing machine is used to conduct a compression test on the damaged specimen, measuring the residual strength of the composite laminate after sustaining impact damage. Instron's "drop-weight impact testing machine" is used for the development, fine-tuning, and validation of various material models. Please feel free to contact us if you need assistance. 【Features】 ■ Impact energy from 2J to 70J (and beyond) ■ Minimum mass: 1kg (specimen thickness: 4.0mm or less) ■ Safety enclosure to prevent carbon fiber dispersion ■ Specimens can be adjusted from -70℃ to +300℃ ■ Pneumatic double-strike prevention mechanism to prevent multiple impacts on the specimen *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

[Instructor] Hiroto Hayashi, Attorney at Law, New York State, Mori Hamada & Matsumoto Law Firm, Foreign Law Joint Enterprise [Key Lecture Content] Recently, batteries are expected to serve as a balancing power source for the realization of renewable energy as a primary power source. Due to changes in the business environment brought about by market development and government support measures, opportunities in the battery business are expanding. For grid-connected batteries, there are multiple options for long-term decarbonization power source auctions, tolling models, and merchant models, and the points of project development vary depending on the offtake method. Additionally, with the spread of the FIP system, the installation of batteries alongside renewable energy generation facilities is also progressing. In this lecture, we will explain the systems related to batteries, as well as key points for contract creation and negotiation, and financing necessary to steadily advance projects. We will also outline the challenges and prospects for project development and project finance formation according to each offtake scheme.

[Lecturer] Hideo Yamada, Ph.D. Honorary Professor, Waseda University Visiting Professor, Business Breakthrough University Graduate School [Key Lecture Content] Companies face various trade-offs (dilemmas) such as quality vs. cost, inventory levels vs. service levels, and standardization vs. differentiation. Traditionally, companies have responded to trade-offs by (1) finding a balance or (2) prioritizing one over the other. However, this does not lead to fundamental solutions. In this lecture, I will propose a third method that is neither balancing nor prioritizing. Using case studies from over 50 Japanese companies, I will explain it in an easy-to-understand manner. If we can turn long-standing trade-offs into trade-ons (coexistence), business opportunities will arise. [Lecture Topics] 1. What is a trade-off? 2. Trade-offs between customers and companies 3. Trade-offs within companies 4. Trade-offs within customers 5. How to turn trade-offs into trade-ons 6. Steps for exploration 7. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Lecturers] Corporate Partner, Nishimura & Asahi Law Office Osaka, Mr. Satoshi Niki Associate, Nishimura & Asahi Law Office - Foreign Law Joint Enterprise, Mr. Shu Numazawa [Key Lecture Content] In recent years, the diversification of defense cooperation and advancements in dual-use technology have significantly changed the management and international sharing of advanced technologies. This lecture will clarify the basic structure of Article 3 of the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement and the significance of "similar treatment," while explaining the institutional transformation brought about by the introduction of the non-public patent application system under the Economic Security Promotion Act. Furthermore, considering the relationship between this system and the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement, we will examine how to reposition the patent applications and secrecy management of defense-related technologies within the context of expanding international joint research and multilateral defense cooperation. [Lecture Items] 1. Diversification of defense cooperation and advancements in dual-use technology 2. Basic structure of Article 3 of the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement 3. Practical application of "similar treatment" 4. Introduction of the non-public patent system (Economic Security Promotion Act) 5. Relationship between the non-public patent system and Article 3 of the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement 6. Expansion of international joint research and reevaluation of Article 3 7.
