Technology Partnership Seminar.

Smart-eco-design
Professor YAMAZAKI, Nobutoshi
Department of Mechanical Engineering
We demonstrate electric-power-free products that utilize natural human motion and shape: power-assist clothes for caregiving, pillows that adapt to posture changes, and bicycle saddle and pedals for ladies. Please experience our unique products at this booth.

Application of Olfactory Display to Medical Care
Professor OKADA, Kenichi
Department of Information and Computer Science
Currently, health checkup examination includes the checking of sight and hearing but not of the olfactory sense. Therefore, we are now developing an olfactory checkup method using the olfactory display we invented.

Studies on the Problems on the US Method for Evaluating Properties of Sunscreen Formulations
Professor ASAKURA, Kouichi
Department of Applied Chemistry
In US, no warning statements are required on sunscreen products for their risk of skin cancer if they are proved to be BROAD SPECTRUM. We have found a serious problem that simple manipulation of coating procedure of sunscreen formulations made them meet the standard for BROAD SPECTRUM.

Intra-vascular Laser Medical Applications
Professor ARAI, Tsunenori
Department of Applied Physics and Physico-informatics
In this booth, we'll display the new techniques with laser light, which can less-invasively and selectively diagnose and treat for the arteriosclerosis lesion. In addition, we'll show the novel therapeutic device using laser light irradiation.

Innovative Arrhythmia Laser Treatment Launched from Keio University
Professor ARAI, Tsunenori
Department of Applied Physics and Physico-informatics
We study and propose the novel less-invasive treatment for arrhythmia including atrial fibrillation with Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). In this booth, we'll demonstrate the developing laser devices and run a videotape of our study for introduction.

Surface Engineering for Biomaterials
Professor KOMOTORI, Jun
Department of Mechanical Engineering
In recent years, metals are used as implants for medical treatment and are placed inside human body for a long time. To satisfy safeness in long-term usage, there have been numerous approaches toward such materials. Here are some of the new surface modification processes developed recently.

Monitoring System Using Radio Waves
Professor OTSUKI, Tomoaki
Department of Information and Computer Science
We introduce our new monitoring and localization system based on radio waves. The system is applicable to monitor elderly person living alone. It can also monitor such as bathroom and restroom without invading privacy.

Nanoscale Manipulation
Associate Professor KATSURA, Seiichiro
Department of System Design Engineering
Katsura Laboratory has developed a "nano manipulation system" that transmits manipulated force sensation of a nanoscale object to an operator. We aim to apply this technology in medical treatment and production process.

Understanding the Brain, Utilizing the Brain
—Development of Neuroscience-based Rehabilitation Devices—

Assistant Professor USHIBA, Junichi
Department of Biosciences and Informatics
In collaboration with medical faculty and hospitals, we research the mechanism of how the brain controls our body. The findings are resolved to the educational activity as computer graphic animation archives, and they are applied to develop "thought-controlled orthosis" as a tool for functional recovery from hemiplegia due to stroke.
