Prof. Yusaku Fujii

Professor, Gunma University (Japan)
[Title] Distancing-Free Mask as a Social Infrastructure that Eliminates Lockdown
[Abstract]
In this session, “Distancing-Free Mask”, which eliminates the lock down, and the social infrastructure using this mask will be discussed.

This mask simultaneously achieves the four items, (1) complete screening of viruses, (2) lightweight body, (3) easy breathing, and (4) inexpensive manufacturing costs, at a high level by precise control of pressure and flow rate inside the helmet. The wearer of this mask, just like the antibody carrier, cannot be infected itself with the virus, nor infect others with the virus. (Japanese Patent Application 2020-113097).

Currently, a combination of "new lifestyle" and "Lockdown (= going out control, behavior control, business control, economic regulation)" is being taken around the world. Since there is no prospect of developing a vaccine or treatment method, there is no prospect of leaving the current situation.

Distributing the "Distance-Free Mask" to each citizen means having a simple and reliable means of converging the infection. Even under the worst infection spread situation, people can go out as long as they wear "Distance-Free Mask". Organizers of events such as the Tokyo Olympics need only take measures in anticipation of situations where masks are mandatory.

[Title] Analog/Power Supply Circuits and Their Related Technology
[Abstract]
This session discusses analog/power supply circuits and their related technology, which are very important for Internet-of-Things (IoT) and green environment. It covers wide range from fundamental theory to industry applications, and also from basics to the state-of-the art, as well as their education.

Prof. Yutaka Kawahara

Professor, Gunma University (Japan)
[Title] Fiber Science
[Abstract]
This session presents the topics in the fiber science. Use of bio-degradable polymers is considered to be one of the solutions for the recent environmental issues of micro-plastics. From the view point of fiber processing, however, bio-polymers do not always exhibit appropriate behavior from its nature. Difficulty for preparing high-performance fibers from bio-polymers and approaches for overcoming such difficulty will be addressed. Further, newly developed laser-electrospinning (LES) system, applicable to the production of protective wear and medical applications, is to be addressed. Silk is one of the oldest fiber materials. However, it still attracts much attention and therefore there is the big silk market in the world. The spinning system and the culturing conditions for the commercial silkworm will be talked in this session.

Prof. Akihiro Takita

Assistant Professor, Gunma University (Japan)
[Title] Social Safety and Privacy Protection
[Abstract]
In the session, methods how to realize social safety, such as crime prevention using huge number of street cameras, and privacy protection will be discussed. As a good example, the e-JIKEI Network, which is a concept proposed by Prof. Fujii for realizing social safety and privacy protection in the coming super surveillance society, in which every point in the public arear is watched by at least one camera, will be also reviewed and discussed.

[Title] STEM and ICT education
[Abstract]
Recent developments of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based sensor and semiconductor technologies have a significant impact on human industry known as Industry 4.0. In education, there is an urgent need to develop human resources for Industry 4.0, and an ICT education system that incorporates data science (AI, IoT, and BD) is expected to be established. In this session, we will discuss STEM-based ICT education.

[Title] Innovative fundamental technologies for future context aware information retrieval

and communication services
[Abstract]
Wide spread of smart phone devices and the associated applications enabled users to access their necessary information from anywhere. Current information retrieval systems offer users variety of services, however, the services are not yet fully integrated and satisfied from the viewpoint of a user. The demanded services need to offer users more personal and valuable information depending on their time and situation.

For that reason, a user context information is needed to be collected, stored as a structured data, and analyzed to offer a sophisticated information retrieval. In order to achieve such context aware services, innovative technologies should be developed and promoted to create knowledge-based information and communication services. This session invites the speakers to discuss fundamental technologies for innovation in future information and communication services. Three areas of insightful future technologies are presented and discussed.

[Title] Surface Plasmon Resonance and Its Application for Biosensing
[Abstract]
The use of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for biosensor is growing in popularity, especially in fundamental biological studies, health research, medicine, clinical diagnosis, as well as environment and agriculture monitoring. SPR enable qualitative and quantitative measurements of biomolecular interactions in real time without labeling. Currently, the development of SPR as biosensor is focused on compact, inexpensive and sensitive designs. The development of micro to nano sized fabrication technology and integration of opto-electronic components is compatible with SPR. We will focus on the progress we made over the past 4 years. Simulation, fabrication, and applications that have been developed in our laboratory.
