Dichloromethane (DCM) is hazardous to human health as the cause of chemical-substance-sensitive conditions and cancer. Reproduction equipment for waste solvent that absorbs dichloromethane by vacuum evaporation with air flow was developed.

Recently, many studies point out that fine particulate matter of less than 2.5 µm in the atmosphere causes more damage to human health. Automatic continuous measurement equipment for chemical ions in PM2.5 was developed to understand the behavior of PM2.5 in the atmosphere.

Currently, distributed energy systems, including renewable energy generators, are drawing attention. We propose optimal and reliable cooperative distributed control, as well as estimation and prediction methodologies, for smart electrical power network management systems, including photovoltaic cells and wind turbines.

Inkjet printing technology commonly known from home-use inkjet printers has become a tool for industrial-scale mass fabrication. Our laboratory is making use of this technology in combination with paper substrates to develop low-cost, single-use, simple chemical sensors for clinical and environmental applications.

Our laboratory’s research goal is the development of highly sensitive and selective chemical sensors and bioimaging probes. Here, we present (1) novel bright fluorescent and chemiluminescent dyes for various target analytes, (2) functional nanomaterials for medical and environmental sensing, and (3) fluorescent probes for selective bioimaging.

This booth exhibits a module that measures radiation information including temperature and humidity by using low-power sensors and integrated circuit technologies. The data, including position information, were transmitted by the sensor network, and collection and analysis were performed using a server to visualize with a map or photograph information.

The goal of this research is to build a geo-simulation environment for evacuation planning by using an agent-based simulation technique. The agent-based simulation technique is based on modeling of human decision-making and behavior. To improve the reality of the simulation, we attempt to attach spatial and geographical data to the simulation model.

A Business Process/Business Rule Management Environment for inter-organizational workflow and Service-oriented Architecture has been build. In addition a workflow-driven context-based access control model has been proposed.

A naturally expressed gesture is an effective communication channel in conversation. However, there are individual differences in ability for reading gestures. And some people feel extra mental loads to communicate with other people and/or to operate information devices. So we have been studying sensor-based technologies to improve the skill of reading gestures and to measure degrees of the mental loads within communications.
