The presentation materials for the 38th Electronics Packaging Society Spring Conference have been released. "Latest Trends in Hybrid Testing Systems Combining JTAG Testing and Flying Probe Testers."

We will create new value through the mutual complementarity of ICT and BST.

In-circuit testing with flying probe testers excels at inspecting the electrical characteristics of implemented electronic components in analog circuits. However, components that cannot be probed make electrical testing difficult, and functional testing of digital circuits is challenging. On the other hand, boundary scan testing allows for quick interconnection testing between LSI pins and on-board programming for FPGAs, but it can only test digital circuits around ICs that comply with the boundary scan standard, and it also requires dedicated fixtures for connections. At Takaya Corporation, we possess technology that uses flying probes instead of fixtures that connect 4 to 5 scan-compatible pins and measuring instruments required for boundary scan testing. This allows for boundary scan testing even when the counterpart of a boundary scan-compliant IC is a non-boundary scan-compliant IC or passive components (such as connectors), by enabling the flying probe to function as a virtual boundary scan cell. With a single flying probe tester, it is possible to conduct comprehensive testing of both digital and analog circuits, thereby significantly enhancing testing efficiency compared to before.

• Measurement and Inspection

It is a board inspection device capable of ultra-fast in-circuit testing at a top-class level in the industry.

We have completely revamped the platform compared to the conventional model, increasing the probe movement speed by up to 50% and dramatically improving contact position accuracy. Our new high-precision, wide-range measurement system, along with the groundbreaking 4-head 6-flying probe mechanism, significantly reduces inspection costs and enhances quality in the assembly process, regardless of substrate variety or production volume. ★You can bring your own substrates for evaluation tests at our demo rooms in Okayama headquarters and Tokyo branch★ We can conduct a series of tests including the creation of inspection programs, inspections using actual substrates, and summarizing evaluation results.

It is a board inspection device capable of ultra-fast in-circuit testing at a top-class level in the industry. (Supported board size for inspection: up to 985×610)

The APT-1340J maintains its basic performance while expanding the compatible board size to W635×D610mm. Additionally, by adding an optional split inspection function, it can inspect long boards up to W985×D610mm. It can accommodate components with a height of 60mm and board weights of up to 10kg, making it suitable for inspecting boards used in automotive, aerospace, and medical devices, as well as power supply boards and probe cards, which are larger and heavier. ★You can bring your boards to our demonstration room at our Okayama headquarters for evaluation testing★ We can conduct a series of tests, including creating inspection programs, inspecting actual boards, and summarizing evaluation results.

• Measurement and Inspection

This is a flagship model that arranges probe heads above and below, enabling simultaneous in-circuit testing of both sides of the substrate.

Four probes are arranged on the top side of the substrate and two on the bottom side. Each probe can move freely and at high speed, achieving an astonishing inspection speed that is world-class in standard. By using the upper and lower flying probes simultaneously, a combination inspection of up to six probes allows for simultaneous contact inspection at both points on the top and bottom sides of the substrate. This significantly expands the inspection range and further accelerates inspection time. It is equipped with a wealth of features and boasts world-class standards in speed and positioning accuracy. ★You can bring your substrate to our demo room at our Okayama headquarters for evaluation testing★ We can conduct a series of tests including the creation of inspection programs, inspections using actual substrates, and summarizing evaluation results.

Programming for FPGAs and special performance tests such as BST can be handled with a flying probe tester.

This is an option that equips the underside operating axis of the APT-1600FD series with a dedicated fixture lifting mechanism. It allows for special inspections connected to external devices, such as Boundary Scan Testing (BST), as well as writing to and reading logs from ICs, to be performed in parallel with in-circuit testing. *Please refer to the YouTube video for an image of the operation.

Based on practical experience in support companies and business companies, SBS Marketing Co., Ltd. provides consulting services related to marketing, sales promotion, and customer acquisition primarily in the BtoB (business-to-business) sector. On August 18, 2026 (Tuesday), they published a page titled "Are you exhausting yourself mentally and physically by serving your colleagues at work!? 'Self-Sacrificing Giver.'" The 'Self-Sacrificing Giver' ignores their own interests to serve others, leading to mental and physical exhaustion. The page explains the three characteristics of humans that include 'Givers,' the traits and scenarios that lead to 'Self-Sacrificing Givers,' the psychological backgrounds they fall into, and methods to become a healthy 'Other-Oriented Giver.' (Page Overview: Excerpts) ■ What is a 'Self-Sacrificing Giver'? ■ Scenarios where 'Self-Sacrificing Givers' are likely to occur in the workplace ■ Psychological backgrounds that 'Self-Sacrificing Givers' fall into ■ Methods to become a healthy 'Other-Oriented Giver' (DL content only) ▼ For more details, please visit this page. https://sbsmarketing.co.jp/blog/self-sacrificing-giver-2026-08/

We have introduced the Majesta Fragrance commercial diffuser at a cabaret club in Tokyo. It has been implemented to enhance the ambiance of the space and to address odors from tobacco and other sources. We have installed the following two models according to the size and atmosphere of the space: - MF-02S: for the main floor and VIP rooms - MFmini: for the restrooms The "MF-02S" delivers a pleasant fragrance over a wide area in the main floor and VIP rooms. The "MFmini" is placed in the restrooms to maintain a clean and space-efficient environment. Effects of fragrance enhancement on the establishment (examples): - Improvement of "first impressions" and creation of a memorable space. - Increased motivation and retention rates among staff. - Clear differentiation from other establishments. - Maintenance of cleanliness and a clean impression. Free trial installation currently available For establishments and companies that want to "try out how much it actually smells" or "consider after experiencing the effects," we are accepting requests for free trial installations. If you are an establishment or company looking to enhance the value of your space, please feel free to contact us.

Swallow Incubate Co., Ltd. has launched the Swallow Incubate Tech Blog, a technical site covering the implementation of liveness detection, face recognition and image processing. Developers who design and build face recognition systems have told us they lack the information needed to judge which technology to choose and what it can and cannot do. In particular, face recognition and liveness detection (protection against presentation attacks) are separate technologies - a point that is often recognised only at the implementation stage. The blog publishes that material. Our editorial rule is that every article carries implementation code and measured results. It is organised into three categories: Liveness Detection, OpenCV for C++, and OpenCV for C#.
