Trace standard gas is prepared by diluting high density standard gas in a cylinder with zero gas. In our booth, you will be introduced to a simplified system to directly prepare trace standard gas without heavy high pressure gas cylinder. Our exhibition will also feature an air refiner based on the diffusion scrubber method, to prepare zero gas that is essential for environmental measuring.

We will show a system to efficiently remove VOC in exhaust gas. This system sprinkles remover to absorb VOC and the VOC-contained remover is recycled. The other feature of our exhibition will be an air refiner using TiO2 photocatalyst to remove hazardous gas inside building, which is based on the "Pleated diffusion scrubber" and "Geared diffusion scrubber".

Our booth will introduce a nanomicro device that simulates human's five senses or transmits information by stimulating these senses. A variety of hardware of new concepts based on the nanomicro forming technology--including eyeglasses-like eye-gaze tracking system, rewritable Braille display, gold and silver nanoparticle device which makes a highly sensitive taste/smell sensor--will be displayed.

The security system using radio waves, based on space-time signal processing, will be introduced in our booth. This system divides a received signal into intensity components and directional components. If there is no change in the signal propagation environment, the system then detects events such as intrusion based on the stable directional components. This method thus achieves low false detection rate. We will show practical applications of the system, such as monitoring, theftproof, and alarm for mislaid properties.

Electric vehicles and wheelchairs, to assist people's efficient and auxiliary movements, are playing a very important role in everyday life. Many of these instruments use motors. Safety is enhanced and more control functions can be added to these instruments thanks to the high response and high torque control characteristics of motors.

We have been engaged in developing a novel micro/nano fabrication technologies, such as micromachining under liquid nitrogen temperature and biochemical nano fabrication. Also, in order for intelligentizing machining centers, we do sensorless cutting force monitoring and cutting status laser sensing--which will be demonstrated using samples in our booth.

The electro-adhesive elastomer that we have developed is a functional material to electrically control surface adherence. Applying a sheet of electro-adhesive elastomer on the surface of a device instantly adds a brake mechanism, a fixturing mechanism, or a damping mechanism to the device. Our booth will demonstrate the electro-adhesire effct and various devices using electro-adhesive sheet.

We will introduce the spectrum dip method (SD method), a novel method to estimate a chord from audio signals, and applications of the method. Contrary to the conventional methods, this method estimates chords from frequency bands with no sound. The SD method is robust against the increased number of tones of a chord. This method is also superior in that it requires less calculation.

Developing an ability to safely communicate with humans and environment is critical for the future intelligent machine systems and robots designed for human support. Our lab has been developing "Mobile-Hapto", a system to transmit tactile information of a mobile object. This system will be demonstrated in our booth using the actual system.

A variety of surface treatment are applied to metals used for machines and structural objects in order for enhancing their performance such as fatigue strength, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, etc. We will introduce a new surface treatment process newly developed to achieve such purposes.
