Advanced Japanese Advanced Japanese TechnologiesTechnologies
• R&D in many sectors at world class levels• Driven by commercial & social needs primarily (e.g., not
defense)• Rapid diffusion into products & services• Other countries (especially in Asia) are copying/using this
model• Examples in this talk are:
– Instrumented transportation– Microelectronics, Sensors– Wireless applications & devices– Human interfaces– Robotics– Fuel cells– Advanced computers– RFID applications– Safety structures for homes– Medical technology for people

From my secretary….
David, you should leave our office at 10:45 and walk to the Oeda subway station (five escalators down from the street).
Please take the 10:53 Oeda line to Shinjuku, which arrives at 11:03. At Shinjuku go up four escalators
You have nine minutes to transfer to the JR Orange Line which leaves there at 11:12 from track 10.
This arrives at Higasi Koganai station at 11:38. Please leave that station by the North exit.
You will have 7 minutes to walk to the CoCo (local) bus stop which is just outside the station. That bus leaves at 11:45.
Get off at bus stop #11, where Prof Pasco will be waiting for you at 11:55.
