Development of undersea sensing technology using ultra-sensitive magnetic sensors
Through our past efforts, we have developed a new magnetic sensor technology that achieves the "low power consumption and small size" required to mount an ultra-sensitive magnetic sensor on an underwater drone. In this proposal, we will mount this technology on an underwater drone and conduct a demonstration experiment. -
- Drive by Bio-signal
- Presenter] Daigo Uchino
Driver driving improvement devices independent of the vehicle
Although systems to alert drivers are essential to reduce accidents, many vehicles are not equipped with such systems. To address this issue, we have developed a compact monitoring device that does not depend on the vehicle and is easy to install. The device evaluates the driver's burden and fatigue based on biometric information and provides advice and warnings to encourage improved driving. -
- CarbonLooping
- Presenter] Nagatoshi Fukuhara
Innovative technology for highly efficient conversion of industrial CO2 emissions into valuable resources
It is a technology that converts about 60% of CO2 emissions into valuable carbon resources and useful chemical species by treating CO2 emissions with a consolidated structure catalyst system (excellent thermal and material controllability) of methane conversion, dry reforming, and solid C. This technology contributes to the COP conference "Reduction 461 TP3T by 2030. -

Commercialization of multi-trophic stage cultivation of clams using former eel farm ponds
Clam stocks are declining in Lake Hamana, affecting the local economy. We plan to collaborate with Taiwanese aquaculturists to introduce the Multi-Stage Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) technology. We will start demonstration experiments this year to prove the business feasibility and sustainability of the multi-trophic stage aquaculture technology. -

- Presenter] Tetsushi Ohta
Minimally invasive and rapid cancer diagnostic treatment using magnetic nanoparticles
Magnetic nanoparticles are nanoparticles whose dynamics can be controlled in a non-contact manner by an external magnetic field. By accumulating magnetic nanoparticles in cancer tissues in the body, we aim to realize minimally invasive early diagnosis and treatment of cancer, which simultaneously realizes detection of cancer location, analysis of pathological information, and treatment. -

Building an infrastructure to support childcare and development through AI image analysis
Visualize children's developmental status using AI image analysis and vital data to provide personalized and optimal support. By linking medical care, welfare, and education with data, we will create a society where all children can aim for growth and self-fulfillment through community-wide efforts. -

Exploration of ingredients for oral care and their application to functional foods
We have screened samples of vegetable, fruit, or waste wood juices and components for antibacterial activity using Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. We have been working to verify the efficacy against periodontal disease bacteria, focusing on the samples that have shown efficacy. We plan to proceed to the development of food products such as beverages. -

Business of low-cost lightweight structural materials inspired by shell nacreous layer
The applicant has successfully demonstrated proof of concept of an innovative, low-cost, lightweight composite material derived from the wisdom of nature, the shell pearl structure. By combining the applicant's knowledge of automotive material design and construction methods, as well as cost consciousness, the project aims to create a new business that transcends fiber-reinforced materials.
