Products that You can only Get from Japanese Suppliers

Filed Under : Japanese products by admin

Feb.27,2012

Japan’s economy is export-dependant. It is therefore not surprising that there are products that you can only get from Japanese suppliers. Japan is the global leader in scientific research, particularly biomedical, technology, and machinery research. The country has a US$130 billion research and development (R&D) budget that is shared by about 700,000 researchers. The country is the global leader in automobiles, electronics, earthquake engineering, optics, industrial robotics, chemicals, metals, and semiconductors. It therefore follows that most of the suppliers for the products made in these industries are in Japan.

You will only get USB memory sticks that are decorated with gold leaf and lacquer, that are in the shape of takoyaki (or octopus balls), battered fried shrimp or nigirizushi, and that are in other shapes and designs from Japanese suppliers. The decoration of USB memory sticks is a uniquely Japanese phenomenon. Japan is also obsessed with decorating iPhones and other high-end smartphones.

You will only get men’s wigs that are in styles like those typical of Japanese pop stars and bar ‘hosts‘ from Japanese suppliers. The same applies to women’s wigs in styles that are popular in Tokyo’s Ginza and Shibuya districts. If you are into Japanese fashion, you could contact a supplier over the Internet for exactly what you need.

You can only get indoor cherry blossoms from Japanese suppliers. The cherry blossom symbolizes the country’s love for natural beauty and there are even flower watching parties or hanami every spring. These suppliers have magic sakura kits that enable you to enjoy the flowers without waiting for spring.

Other products that you will only get from Japanese suppliers include pot noodle humidifier, dog t-shirt, such robots like Honda’s ASIMO robot, chopsticks shaped like Shinkansen, and nunohari bento lunch-boxes with flower patterns.

Note that some items that were uniquely Japanese can now be found in other parts of the world. Good examples of these are parts for major Japanese cars such as Toyota and Nissan since these are now made in other countries. The same is true for popular Japanese items such as Japanese sliding doors, also called ‘shoji’ or ‘fusuma’.

Dec.9,2011

Green is in and anyone who can make small adjustments in their life will reap the benefits more than can be quantified. Take your indoor air, for instance. There are so many appliances and gadgets being sold today to clean indoor air. Not only does it cost money to maintain, you also need to plug them to an electric outlet, thereby using energy when you can just get humidity control wall plaster. Humidity control wall plaster is a product manufactured by a Japanese company, Takachiho-shirasu. Here is their story:

The wall plaster by this company is aimed primarily at reducing sick-home syndrome. Every one of us experiences a sense of relief when reaching a place of rest and peacefulness. Usually, that place is called a home. Unfortunately, homes are attacked on many fronts especially wear and tear and physical abuse. It also is attractive to indoor allergens which thrive on humidity and extreme weather conditions. If one can reduce the humidity levels inside a home, it can reduce allergens. There’s no need for complicated solutions or expensive gadgets.

Through a special formulation, the company began to collect ash fall from a nearby volcano which erupted more then 20,000 years ago. The powder turned into hard stone is being used to create the humidity-control wall plaster. The added benefit is that pet dander, smoke, and ammonia smells can be gone in 30 minutes. In short, you get clean air and a low humidity factor that won’t encourage the growth and spread of allergens.

wall plaster humidity control

When they tested their product for moisture absorption, humidity was reduced to less than 55% within 30 minutes after being exposed to high levels. After an hour, it dropped even further by 10%, and every succeeding half hour after. The wall plaster can also release moisture into the air but at a slower pace. Nonetheless by changing applying the wall plaster, you have a simple, natural answer to controlling the quality of your indoor air.

A brief history of OLED Technology-Research and Development

Filed Under : Japanese Technology by admin

Dec.2,2011

Introduction to OLED technology is the buzz of the technological industry these days. But it took more than 5 decades to bring about such technology whereby we can actually employ OLEDs into practical life. Electroluminescence in organic materials was first achieved in France when A. Bernanose and his co-workers. Introduction to OLEDs also happened by discovering that it was also possible that some kinds of plastics could be altered into conductive materials, thus revolutionizing the approach to digital technology by offering a cheaper, more flexible, and smart alternative to expensive ceramic semiconductors.

Finally, Eastman Kodak experimented with solar cells and noticed a blue glow that the patent was granted for OLED technology. A lot more research is still required to bring the end product quality of OLED screens up to the quality of other LED technologies, but at the rate OLED technology has progressed; it will only be a matter of time.
The new era of OLEDs has revolutionized the market. It is being propelled by the dramatic improvements in performance of solid state light sources. A new development route is already identified with organic light emitting device in large area and nm-thin architectures being complementary to inorganic point sources. These sources offer completely new solutions in terms of design aspects not achievable with existing light sources. At the same time, their out-standing characteristics continue to improve and are expected to eclipse those of the most common light sources within a near future.
These technological breakthroughs have established, during the last 20 years, the bases for creating a completely new industry based on the semi conducting properties of organic materials. ‘Plastics’ that are capable of exhibiting almost similar electrical properties to silicon semiconductors have opened up the possibility of creating a range of electronic devices that have the characteristics of being thin, smart, flexible, low cost and eventually completely disposable.

Precision Die Casts

Filed Under : Metal stamping by admin

Jul.27,2011

When you hear the phrase “die cast” you probably think of small, metal replicas of cars, trucks, and other vehicles. In reality, there are a vast number of items that are created through the process of precision die casting. Die cast “Matchbox” cars are only an everyday example of a process who’s use is as widespread in the manufacturing industry as the use of assembly lines and computer programming.

Die casting is a fast, cost effective manufacturing process which produces net shaped and tight tolerance metal components. The die casting process itself is accomplished by injecting a molten metal, or metal alloy containing components such as zinc, aluminum, magnesium, and copper, as well as iron, lead, cadmium, tin, and nickel into a hardened steel die, which is also referred to as a mold or tool, under extremely high pressure. The metal usually solidifies in milliseconds and is then automatically ejected from the die. A typical die will produce hundreds of thousands to millions of components before it ever requires replacement.

Die casting is one of the highest volume mass-produced items manufactured by today’s metalworking industry, and they can be found in hundreds of thousands of consumer, commercial and industrial products. Die cast parts are important components of products ranging from automobiles to toys. Parts can be as simple as a sink faucet or as complex as a connector housing.

The first die casting alloys were different compositions of tin and lead, but these were soon replaced with the introduction of zinc and aluminum alloys in 1914. Magnesium and copper alloys quickly followed suit, and by the mid 1930s, many of the modern alloys still in use today became available.

The die casting process has evolved much since the original low-pressure injection method was used and now includes techniques such as squeeze casting and semi-solid die casting, as well as high-pressure die casting, which uses forces around five thousand pounds per square inch. These modern processes are capable of producing high integrity, near net-shape castings with a variety of different surface finishes.

For the future, refinements are continueing in both the alloys used in die casting and the die casting process itself, expanding die casting applications into almost every known market. Once limited to simple lead type, today’s die casters can produce castings in a variety of sizes, shapes and wall thicknesses that are strong, durable and dimensionally precise.

Shinai

Filed Under : Japanese crafts,Japanese products by admin

shinai

Shinai is a practice weapon for kendo. This practice weapon is a representation of a Japanese sword. This sword can also be used for other kinds of martial art with different style and different characters. The word “shinai” is from the verb “shinau” which means “to bend, or to flex.” It used to be called shinai-take, which means flexible bamboo. In kendo, you only use one shinai; this is called the itto style. There are other kendoka that uses two shinai; this is called ni-to style. This swordsmanship of using two shinai comes from the two-sword school of Hyoho and Niten Ichi-ryu. The daito is a long shinai used by a ni-to combatant. This is usually held using the left hand. The shorter shinai is called Shoto and is held using the right hand. The International Kendo Federation rules are used during kendo competitions. This sword was developed during the 70s. It is made up highly polished and well-seasoned bamboo staves. To keep the staves aligned, a small square piece of metal is welded inside the rear of the shinai. The tips are separated by a T-shaped rubber grommet and are covered by sakigawa. To keep the staves from spreading apart in the middle, a nakayuki is placed around it and a tsuka, which also serves as the handle. The leather piece is bound together by the himo string. It also indicates the blunt single-edge sword represented by the shinai. The tsuba, also known as the guard, is made up of plastic or whale skin. A rubber grommet or tuba home holds it together. The shinai has many different sizes and style. Different sizes are necessary because there are shinai that adults can carry but children cant. A bokotu is a single wood sword that also represents a Japanese sword, but a shinai is not a bokotu. However they are both used in kendo. Dried bamboo is used to create the slats of the shinai. Smoking them and soaking them in resin are some methods of treating the shinai. Shinai slats are composed of carbon fiber or resin. If the shinai is not taken care of properly, it may be dangerous to the user and other people near it. Breaks and splinters in the shinai may cut the people using the sword. The shinai must be checked if it has splinters or breaks before it is used. Oiling and sanding the shinai is one way of taking care of the shinai. This must be done before it is used and periodically. If it is not used, it is rested against the wall and the handle must be pointed downwards to the ground. It is very disrespectful if you step on or over it. Shinai are not just used for the purpose of sport. There is something more cultural and spiritual in the shinai sword. It represents the sword that defended the Japanese during the old days. The shinai sword must be treated with respect and you must feel honored if you are using one.

Artificial Pacemaker

Filed Under : Japanese products by admin

May.31,2011

According to the Japanese CRO, an artificial pacemaker is a kind of device which is approximately a size of a pocket watch. The function of this battery operated device is that it is placed near your heart from where it transfers electrical impulses to your heart. The Japanese CRO declares the use of this device as a treatment procedure after a mild or severe heart attack problem in order to regulate the heartbeat.

An artificial pacemaker may be used on a temporary basis or on a permanent basis. A permanent pacemaker is usually the treatment given to a patient after a severe heart attack or to control a decreased heartbeat. This type of situation is called bradycardia. Another advantage of using a pacemaker is that it works according to your body rate i.e., if you are running or doing any work which requires your heartbeat to accelerate, the artificial pacemaker will help your heartbeat to cope up with it so as to regulate the production of oxygen within your body.

Some risks always come with some gain. The same applies for planting this artificial pacemaker near your heart. Although, the complications are very limited, but it does exists. Some of the common risks involved may include the swelling or bruising of the area in which the pacemaker is installed. Infection may be referred to as another risk involved. Damaging of lungs is another complication caused by this device. It may also bring, in some cases, severe damages to your blood vessels or nerves that are close to the pacemaker.

In order to cope up with the above mentioned complications involved, some necessary precautions, if undertaken, may provide benefits to your health. First of all, avoid holding mobile phones very close to your heart. This is because it is feared that the pacemaker may take the signal as your heartbeat thereby, resulting in sudden fatigue.

Another safety measure is not to walk too slowly beneath a metal detection system, as the artificial device may be affected by the sound of the alarm. A major reason which causes the device to stop functioning is any kind of electromagnetic treatment such as a surgery used to control bleeding called the electrocautery.

All in all, it can be said that an artificial pacemaker regulates your heartbeat which is the main source of producing and supplying oxygen to the other organs of the body.
