Review of the 2nd Railway Technology Exhibition (Mass-Trans Innovation Japan 2011)

Resolution of 0.5μm, response speed of 10kHz, absolute linear scale.

Temposonics offers excellent non-contact absolute displacement sensors using magnetostrictive technology, which serve as alternatives to traditional linear potentiometers, linear encoders, and rotary encoders. This absolute position sensor is an ideal solution for monitoring and controlling machines that perform hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromechanical positioning. Additionally, the sensor head is equipped with a uniquely developed high-performance LSI, enabling not only position detection but also the detection of movement speed, thus providing a complete operational profile of the machine. With a single sensor, it is possible to compare a user-defined target value with the actual position and measure the position of up to 30 locations simultaneously. Many other features are also included. Due to these characteristics, it is adopted in various applications such as industrial equipment, robotics, welding, medical devices, and wind and wave power generation.

We have newly added the "RB Catcher," a log capture device installed on impermeable sediment control dams in flow sections, to our product lineup and have started sales. The RB Catcher is directly attached to the upstream part of the impermeable sediment control dam to enhance log capture functionality. Unlike the conventional straight arrangement, it features a structural layout that creates gaps between units, ensuring that water flow is maintained without causing blockages after capturing logs. This allows for the reliable capture of subsequent logs without overflow, preventing damage downstream. By adding this new log capture device to our lineup, we will flexibly respond to various needs in the field.

This time, the ACS-5000 is available as a facial recognition terminal compatible with FaceMe Security's add-on feature "Face Terminal," enabling access control management that combines "advanced anti-spoofing features" with high-speed facial recognition powered by edge AI. ■ Main Features 1. Accelerated Authentication Processing FaceMe Security is optimized for the MediaTek Genio 700's NPU, achieving faster facial recognition processing and reduced CPU load compared to processing with only the CPU. It ensures stable authentication without delays even during peak times, such as clocking in and out, contributing to alleviating congestion. 2. Advanced "Anti-Spoofing" Optimized for the IR + RGB camera mounted on the ACS-5000. It can quickly detect fraudulent authentication using photos, videos, or 3D masks within 0.6 seconds, ensuring reliable identity verification. 3. Door Control Without Additional Equipment FaceMe Security can directly control the digital I/O of the ACS-5000, allowing for the construction of an access control management system without the need for additional equipment.
