Notice of the 44th "Latest Construction Method and Technology Training Seminar"

I would like to report on a new initiative that utilizes the cutting function of steel obstacles.

Yasuda Engineering Co., Ltd. will conduct a seminar at the 44th "Latest Construction Technology Seminar on Advanced Propulsion Methods" held in Tokyo and Osaka. We will report on our new initiatives utilizing the steel obstacle cutting function of the milling mole method. This seminar is accredited as a "Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Program" by the Japan Society of Civil Engineers. (CPD credits: 6.5) We sincerely look forward to your attendance. [Overview] ■ Seminar Time: 14:55 - 15:50 ■ Seminar Content: Challenging New Areas with the Milling Mole Method - New Initiatives Utilizing the Steel Obstacle Cutting Function - *For application details, please refer to [Details on How to Apply for Participation Here]. *For more information, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Special Construction Method

It is possible to directly reach the existing shield through the application of metal cutting technology! We are currently presenting examples of construction where direct cutting was performed on existing shields.

The "Milling Mole Method" is equipped with a specialized bit designed for cutting through obstacles using a tunneling machine. It allows the cutter of the tunneling machine to make ultra-low-speed contact with obstacles through a special telescopic pipe, enabling cutting through the rotation of the cutter. This operates on the same principle as lathe machining. A significant feature of this construction using the "Milling Mole Method" is that it achieved direct cutting of steel segments without performing mirror cutting. Since improvements to the protective measures of the existing shield section could not be made from the surface, a boring machine was mounted, allowing for injection from within the tunneling machine (using a dual-pipe strainer method with multiple phases). Additionally, a formwork for cutting connection was installed inside the existing shield, and fluidized treatment soil was placed, allowing for direct cutting at ultra-low speeds and safely avoiding the risks of water inflow and subsidence accidents that occur during mirror cutting. Previously, mirror cutting was performed from within the shield, raising concerns from customers about the risks to the surrounding environment due to groundwater inflow and ground collapse associated with that construction. We proposed direct cutting of the existing shield, and after executing the construction, we successfully reached the target without affecting water inflow or the surrounding environment, resulting in great satisfaction from the client! 《You can download the construction case from the PDF below!》

Introducing a case study of shield arrival construction using the milling mall method!

The "Milling Mole Method," equipped with four special functions: exploration, improvement, cutting, and guidance, is a ground obstacle response type mud-based thrusting method. It consists of three devices: a tunneling machine, a special telescopic pipe, and a special injection pipe, allowing for the precise cutting and removal of underground obstacles. In the construction of the inflow pipe sewer system for the second Nakagawa Chubu rainwater adjustment pond, the Milling Mole Method was used to carry out the shield arrival work. Milling cutting length: The assembly precision of the steel formwork at the arrival section inside the existing shield, L=1.520m from the outer circumference of the existing shield, was excellent, and there were no leaks of groundwater or muddy water during the placement of fluidized treated soil or during the shield cutting with the tunneling machine, allowing for safe cutting. 【Construction Example】 ■Location: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture ■Client: Nagoya City Waterworks Bureau ■Contractor: Asanuma Corporation ■Nominal Diameter: φ2200mm ■Thrusting Length: 101.520m ■Underground Obstacles: Direct access to the existing shield Inner diameter of the existing shield φ3750mm *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Nitto Kohki will exhibit at the "Data Center EXPO" held at Makuhari Messe Hall 1 from Wednesday, October 23 to Friday, October 25. [Booth Number: A6-23] At this exhibition, we will showcase the "Compact Zero Spill Coupler," which is specifically designed for data centers, including supercomputers. We will also present the "Blind Mate Type," a fitting exclusively for server cooling piping, as a reference exhibit.

D-Link Japan Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, Chairman and President: Kazui Chou, hereinafter referred to as D-Link) will exhibit at the "Local Government Information Promotion Fair 2026," hosted by the Local Government Information Systems Organization (J-LIS), on October 27 and 28, 2026, at Makuhari Messe (Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture). This fair is one of Japan's largest exhibitions for information systems aimed at local governments, designed to provide information on the utilization of My Number cards, the realization of digital government, and reference information for information systems through system exhibitions, lectures, and seminars. At the D-Link booth, we will showcase wired and wireless network products and solutions that support regional networks. We will introduce network management solutions suitable for public facilities and schools that require redundancy and bandwidth expansion for wired LAN infrastructure, as well as management of multiple network products.

We will hold the highly praised Taste Sensor Utilization Seminar again this year as follows. We will invite users as speakers to introduce actual case studies. <Overview of the Event> - Date and Time: October 9, 2026 (Friday) 13:05 - 16:30 - Format: Online (Zoom Webinar) - Participation Fee: Free - Capacity: 500 people - Speakers: Kanji Doi, Executive Director, Doctor of Agriculture, Marutomo Co., Ltd. Takayuki Suetoki, Deputy General Manager, Technology Development Department, Ariake Japan Co., Ltd. Tomono Yoshimitsu, Consulting Team, Consulting Division, Aji Kaori Strategy Research Institute Co., Ltd.

This is an announcement for the archive distribution of the kintone plugin "Mojitori" seminar, which can read text from photos and PDFs and convert it into data. 【Three Case Studies of Mojitori Usage! A Seminar on Improving Workplaces by Reducing Input Errors, Reporting Omissions, and Personalization】 ◆ Seminar Overview The kintone plugin 'Mojitori' allows for the automatic input of text data extracted from photos, images, and PDF files into various fields in kintone. In this seminar, we will introduce 'three companies' business improvement case studies' utilizing Mojitori. We will specifically explain the challenges faced in different operations, such as label verification in manufacturing, reporting from the field, and managing client information, and why they turned to Mojitori for solutions. 【Recommended for】 - Those who want to reduce paper and handwritten record-keeping and transcription tasks - Those who want to prevent input errors and reporting omissions - Those who want to facilitate information sharing on kintone We hope you find hints that can help improve your business operations. We look forward to the participation of many people.

We have decided to exhibit at the H.C.R. 2026 53rd International Welfare Equipment Exhibition & Forum. At this booth, we will introduce our monitoring sensor "Techmat" and our fabric flexible sensor. The Techmat is equipped with 1,024 sensors that reflect the user's body pressure distribution with millimeter-level accuracy. It visualizes changes in body orientation, movement, and pressure in real time, supporting the prevention of pressure ulcers. Additionally, because the body is in close contact with the sensor, there are fewer false detections, and alerts for sitting up or getting out of bed are immediately notified, contributing to the prevention of falls among the elderly. Furthermore, monitoring can start simply by connecting to Wi-Fi without the need for construction.
