We developed
the mobile reception system for terrestrial broadcasting.
In order to receive only the desired radio wave, the directional
pattern of antennas is controlled adaptively. (Partial joint research with
Toyota Motor Corporation)
We have promoted the automation of CAM (Computer Aided
Manufacturing) by finding the most efficient mold and
die machining process using automated computer planning.
Insulated
Gate Bipolar Transistor for Hybrid Vehicles (IGBT)
We developed
the "IGBT-Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor",
applying semiconductor power device technology.
This device was used for "Prius", the world's
first mass-produced hybrid vehicle.
We have developed
a low-cost production technology for an optical interconnecting
circuits that does not require a lens or a precision positioning
process.
Using this technology, we are also working toward long-distance
communications of 100 meters or more utilizing an LED
light source. (Joint research with Toyoda Gosei
Co., LTD)
