【Techno Taiyo 2021/6】'Vibration Control Oil Damper' Protects Wooden Houses from Earthquake Damage

Improved damping force! A vibration control oil damper with a structure that prevents oil leaks, enhancing the seismic resistance of wooden houses.

The "Vibration-Damping Oil Damper" suppresses building sway by converting kinetic energy into thermal energy, preventing damage to wooden houses and ensuring the protection of human life as well as the continued use of the structures. Its unique structure and functions, which provide damping force, prevent oil leakage, and eliminate rattling, have been developed through joint research with Osaka Prefecture University. To protect wooden houses and their residents in earthquake-prone Japan, we are working with house manufacturers and builders to promote this vibration-damping oil damper, which has a cumulative track record of over 30,000 installations, so that more people can benefit from it. 【Features】 ■ Converts kinetic energy into thermal energy ■ Prevents damage to wooden houses ■ Ensures protection of human life and continued use of structures ■ Provides damping force, prevents oil leakage, and eliminates rattling ■ Durable for long-term use *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Protect wooden houses from earthquakes! Vibration control devices for wooden houses.

"Windamper" is a next-generation vibration control device for wooden houses, designed to protect wooden homes from earthquakes through the concept of "vibration control." At Tekuno Taiyo, we start the development of all our products based on ideas and proposals from our customers. 【Features】 ■ Custom design ■ Small lot production 【Overview】 ■ Collaborating with the prototyping department, we create conceptual drawings, prototype drawings, mass production drawings, and conduct prototyping and evaluation at each process. ■ We evaluate prototype assembly, functionality, operability, durability, etc., at each process, and hold discussions and reviews regarding subsequent steps, design reviews, and QCD review meetings. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Are you struggling to explain "safety" to the client using just drawings? • The risks in blind spots are difficult to convey to the client through drawings alone. • Safety measures often become a target for cost reduction, making it hard to communicate their necessity. • There is a concern that the client might say, "It's more dangerous than I thought," after completion. Risks that are clear to design professionals are not easily understood intuitively by clients who are outside the field. This document is not just a simple explanation of sensor functions; it is a guide to visually explain "why sensors are necessary in those locations." It can be used directly as explanatory material for clients. Here are three key points for utilizing this document: 1. Visualization of Risks Blind spots during departure and contact risks within the site are illustrated clearly. 2. Clarification of Selection Criteria A comparison table outlines the differences between complex sensor types such as infrared, ultrasonic, and loop coils. 3. Diagram of System Configuration It illustrates not just the sensors alone, but how they are combined with rotating lights and control panels, providing practical assistance for electrical equipment design. Please make use of this to prevent "rework after completion" and "accident risks."

Hotron's "HA Series" is a high-performance doorway monitoring sensor. Even for high doors of 4.0m, it ensures safety while proposing an open and inviting entrance with its doorway monitoring function. 【Surface-Mounted Type HA-400】 ○ Safe and comfortable passage is achievable even with high doors, from lightweight doors to large commercial facilities and office buildings. ○ Maximum installation height of 4.0m! It features a high-density area function with 60 detection spots. 【Recessed Type HA-520】 ○ With a flat finish that does not compromise the aesthetics of the building, it ensures a wide area for safe and comfortable passage. ○ Easy replacement from older models of our own, enhancing sensor performance! 【Lower Surface-Mounted Type HA-430】 ○ With a design that minimizes protrusion and presence, it enables safe and comfortable passage even with high doors. ○ Detailed detection areas can be set while maintaining high density according to the site conditions. 【Ceiling-Mounted Type HA-260】 ○ An industry-first pull-down method provides a flat finish for ceiling-mounted sensors that do not compromise the aesthetics of the building. ○ The detection area achieves a wide coverage with high density of 72 detection spots! ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

In facilities operating nurse call systems, we have made bed exit sensors wireless, allowing them to notify in conjunction with the nurse call system. By simply connecting the mat sensor "Foldable Thin Matt-kun," the body movement call "Ugo-kun," and the wheelchair body movement call "Ayumi-chan" to the transmitter HB-RS, you can make the bed exit sensor wireless. The infrared sensor "Just Place Pole-kun" has the transmitter HB-RS built-in. This helps prevent accidents caused by falls, slips, or wandering, contributing to the efficiency of medical operations. 【Features】 ○ Wireless conversion by simply connecting existing sensors to the transmitter HB-WSK. ○ Bed exit sensors notify wirelessly in conjunction with the nurse call system. ○ Up to 5 transmitters can be registered with one receiver. ○ The communication distance between the transmitter and receiver is approximately 10 meters. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

On February 24 (Tuesday), the Japan Meteorological Agency announced its three-month forecast for March to May. In the vicinity of Japan, the upper-level westerlies are expected to flow more to the north than usual, making it likely to be covered by warm air. As a result, above-average temperatures are predicted for March and April in regions excluding Okinawa and Amami, and nationwide in May. With an increase in warm days, there may also be days when it feels hot enough to sweat during the daytime. On sunny days, ultraviolet rays are likely to be strong, so please take precautions such as wearing hats and using sunscreen. For more details, please visit our website.

We held the "2nd World Model and Its Surroundings" online, hosted by our company. This time, Mr. Ishii presented the latest paper by LeCun, the proponent of the world model, and our representative, Mr. Omasa, presented the DiWA model. After the presentations, various questions were raised by the participants, leading to discussions on the architecture of the world model, the latest trends, and the potential applications of the world model in 3D representation and future predictions.
