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 introduced Majesta Fragrance to a nightclub in Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture, creating a fragrant atmosphere throughout the floor. The model we have introduced is the "MF-02S," which costs 8,800 yen per month (tax included). The scent you have chosen this time is "Sabon," a high-quality soap fragrance reminiscent of luxury hotel amenities. Its clean and transparent refreshing scent spreads throughout the entire floor, warmly welcoming customers who visit. By introducing scent design to the nightclub, we can enhance the extraordinary experience and create a memorable space that lingers not only visually but also through "scent." Majesta Fragrance offers a rental service for commercial aroma diffusers, and we also provide a free trial installation. If you are interested in scent design, please feel free to contact us.

On July 1, 2026 (Wednesday), talent Risa Yoshiki has been appointed as the official ambassador of b-search Co., Ltd. We are pleased to announce the appointment of Risa Yoshiki, who is active in various fields such as television and magazines, as our official ambassador (effective July 1, 2026). With this ambassador appointment, we at b-search Co., Ltd. aim to deliver the best recruitment solutions to many companies struggling with hiring activities, while also strongly promoting the joy of taking on challenges in work and the appeal of new ways of working to job seekers considering career changes or employment. ■ Background of the official ambassador appointment In today's world, where the declining labor force due to low birth rates and an aging population is advancing, "acquiring and retaining talent" has become an extremely important management issue that affects corporate growth. What is required in future recruitment activities is not the traditional method of "simply posting job advertisements and waiting for applications." What is urgently needed now is "proactive recruitment," which involves partnering with companies as their "best No. 2" to consistently promote everything from the planning of recruitment strategies to the establishment of systems that yield results.
