Curated collections that group Japanese technologies by industry theme.
Receive light, generate light, put light to work. This special feature brings together the technologies of Japanese small and mid-sized manufacturers whose expertise lies at the boundary of light and electronics—spanning broadband photoelectric conversion, picosecond-pulse laser driving, and phase-controlled LED dimming—serving applications from particle accelerators and medical instrumentation to architectural lighting.
From generation and conversion to consumption, this special feature brings together the technologies of Japanese SMEs that evaluate and control every stage of the power chain—covering custom power supplies, LLC resonant converters and wireless charging, wirewound resistors and load-testing equipment that dissipate power as heat, and dynamometers and combustion visualization systems for measuring mechanical output. Across power supply design, heavy electrical engineering, and engine research, these manufacturers deliver the engineering capability to handle small-volume and custom-built requirements.
Measure it, transmit it, process it: a special feature bringing together the technologies of Japanese small and mid-sized manufacturers that span the full value chain of measurement, communications, and signal processing — from high-frequency measurement covering 10 μHz to 300 GHz, to 920 MHz-band LPWA wireless modules, FPGA prototyping, and space-grade SDR. Engineering capabilities built to meet the surging demand driven by 5G/6G, IoT, and space communications.
Layering sensing and control onto existing equipment in operation—without replacing infrastructure. Retrofit IoT sensors requiring no installation work, remote I/O over 920 MHz wireless, and LED dimming control that reuses existing wiring. A special feature on retrofit smart-factory technologies developed by Japanese small and mid-sized manufacturers.
A special feature bringing together the technologies of Japanese small and mid-sized manufacturers that support domestic agriculture through sensing and IoT — spanning nutrient solution control for hydroponics, sunlight-linked automated irrigation, non-lethal wildlife deterrence, and contract development of agricultural DX devices.
