Non-excavation sewer pipelines (large diameter, φ800 to φ3000) seismic resistance technology. Cylindrical stainless steel and rubber sleeves designed to withstand Level 2 seismic motion.

The Magma Lock method, developed for the seismic reinforcement of pipe joint sections, demonstrates water-tight performance capable of withstanding disconnection due to level 2 seismic motion. This method involves pre-cutting grooves (joints) at the connection between the main pipe and the manhole, installing the Magma Lock, and concentrating seismic stress at this point to induce cracking in the joint. The shock absorption effect helps prevent damage to the connection. In areas where cracks occur along the joint, the pre-installed Magma Lock prevents the inflow of groundwater and soil into the pipe. Additionally, this seismic reinforcement method can be reliably installed even when the existing pipe is in a flowing state, as long as the water depth is 25% or less of the pipe diameter (maximum water level of 40 cm), targeting the connection between the manhole and the pipe. 【Applications】 ● Seismic reinforcement of the connection between manholes and pipes (circular pipes).

Non-excavation sewer pipelines (small to medium diameter, φ200 to φ700) seismic resistance technology. Equipped with cylindrical stainless steel and rubber sleeves to withstand Level 2 seismic motion.

This is a non-excavation seismic reinforcement method developed to enhance the seismic resistance of the "pipe connection section where existing pipes and manholes connect," targeting pipe diameters of Ø700 or less. In cases where the connection between the manhole and the pipe does not have a flexible structure, it is known that this connection section, being in a semi-rigid state, tends to concentrate damage such as circumferential cracks or breakage when subjected to significant loads during an earthquake. This method involves pre-cutting grooves (joints) at the connection between the main pipe and the manhole, installing a mini magma, and concentrating seismic stress here to induce cracking at the joint, thereby preventing damage to the connection through its shock absorption effect. The mini magma, which is pre-installed at the locations where cracks occur along the joint, prevents the inflow of groundwater and soil into the pipe. Additionally, this seismic reinforcement method can be reliably installed even when the existing pipe is in a flowing state, as long as the water depth is 25% or less of the nominal diameter, targeting the connection between the manhole and the pipe. [Applications] ● Seismic reinforcement of the connection between manholes and pipes (circular pipes)

A seismic reinforcement technology that improves the joint section of the main sewer pipe to a seismic structure in a short time without excavation. Compatible with diameters from Ø800 to Ø3500. Construction is possible even in a flowing state.

The "Magma Rock Method" is a seismic retrofitting technique that improves existing sewer facilities without seismic structures to a seismic-resistant structure in a short time and without excavation. 【Target Pipe Diameter】 ■ Magma Rock Method: φ800mm to φ3500mm 【Features】 ■ Magma Rock Method - Joint of the pipe - Flexibly follows horizontal and bending displacements caused by earthquakes, maintaining water tightness. Depending on the intended use and target pipe diameter, it is classified into types such as "Magma Rock Method NGJ," "Magma Rock Method mini NGJ," and "Magma Rock Method for Manholes." *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us.

• Earthquake-resistant construction method

A technology to improve the seismic structure of non-excavated manhole joint sections with diameters ranging from φ900 to φ1800 in a short time, capable of withstanding Level 2 seismic motion.

This is a non-excavation seismic reinforcement method developed with the aim of converting manhole joints that do not have seismic resistance into a seismic structure in a short period of time. It has water-tight performance that can withstand external water pressure of 0.1 MPa even if joint opening occurs during a level 2 earthquake, and has continuously obtained construction technology review certification from the Japan Sewage Works Agency since 2005. Additionally, by applying and installing it to manhole joints, it is also effective as a countermeasure method when loads equivalent to level 2 earthquake motions act in the lateral direction of the manhole blocks. [Applications] ● Seismic reinforcement of manhole joints

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily visible at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

The signing methods for electronic contracts (party type and witness type) are directly linked to the strength of their legal effectiveness. In this article, we will outline the reasons why the more stringent "party type" has been difficult to popularize until now. ---【Conclusion of this article】-------------------------------- • There are two signing methods for electronic contracts: "witness type" and "party type," which differ in the strictness of identity verification. • The main reasons why the party type has not spread are the three factors of "effort, cost, and the structural risk of entrusting a private key." • However, with the spread of public personal authentication (JPKI) using My Number cards, these three barriers are beginning to crumble. -------------------------------------------------------- The full text of the article can be accessed from the "Related Links."

Seven Corporation has started offering the "SeveNavi AI Cleaning Diagnosis Service," which supports the organization and improvement of cleaning challenges in manufacturing environments. Organizing cleaning challenges with AI and visualizing the next steps In manufacturing cleaning, various factors need to be considered, including the material of the object, type of dirt, adhesion state, currently used cleaning agents, working time, safety, and equipment conditions. On the other hand, there are also several challenges faced on-site, such as: - Unable to determine if the current cleaning method is appropriate - Wanting to reduce cleaning time and labor - Concerns about the safety of cleaning agents and their impact on materials - Wanting to compare with another cleaning method but unable to set test conditions - Not being able to utilize past cases and knowledge for improvement activities SeveNavi organizes information such as the object, dirt, current cleaning methods, and site photos using AI, clearly presenting the applicability of cleaning methods, points of caution, missing information, and how to proceed with comparative testing. If you have any challenges regarding reviewing current cleaning methods, comparing new cleaning methods, or reducing cleaning time and labor, please feel free to consult with us.

On August 28, 2026 (Friday), I participated in the "AMD Embedded Computing Summit Tokyo 2026" and showcased a "Gesture Demo" as a partner of AMD. The demonstration introduced a configuration that combines gesture recognition using OpenCV, status reporting with LLM, and one-axis motor control using INtime 7.2 and RSI-ECAT, enabling collaboration between AI, image processing, and real-time control on a single PC. We presented a next-generation PC-based industrial control system that integrates AI, image processing, and real-time control on one PC. <Overview of Demo Participation> https://www.mnc.co.jp/INtime/AMDxINtime/AMDEcsTokyoResults.html <Actual Demo Video> https://youtu.be/JmZke75_y0s <AMD CPU + INtime RTOS Introduction Page> https://www.mnc.co.jp/INtime/AMDxINtime/amdxintime.html #PC #RealTimeOS #IndustrialPC #AI
