Overview Tokyo Tech is the top national university for science and technology in Japan with a history spanning more than 130 years. The Institute has 3 schools with 23 departments, 6 graduate schools with 45 departments, and many research institutes spread over its Ookayama, Suzukakedai and Tamachi Campuses. Of the approximately 10,000 students, half of them are undergraduates and the other hal...

The methodological tool of the technology foresight strategy in innovation activity which is based on the new expert estimation principles and software for processing the results of the foresight under the real conditions are proposed. Obviously, this strategy should determine the main development directions of strategically important industries, the prospects of competitiveness products, the s...

System architecting for high-tech machines is currently performed by highly experienced individuals, who often use an intuitive approach to their craft. In order to allow better cooperation, and to enable the dissemination of experience and knowledge, a framework is needed in which the methods, modelling formalisms, techniques and tools used by system architects are captured. In this paper, suc...

To improve product quality in high-tech industrial fields and in precision product processes, high precision position control systems have been developed. However, high precision position control systems have been faced with a friction problem that exists between the contact surfaces of two materials and produces an obstacle to the precise motion, because the friction is very sensitive to nonli...

This paper outlines the development of a high-tech industrial cluster through the efforts of entrepreneurs who adapted to both constructive crises and new opportunities, creating the factors and conditions that facilitated their business interests. We examine the initial factors influencing individual decisions to become entrepreneurs and how external factors influence the formation and locatio...

In this article an autonomous advertising mobile robot that has been realized in practice is going to be described. The whole development is based on industrial components. In the controlling and communication part, Phoenix Contact products were used, whereas the sensing was based on a Sick Laser Scanner. These two companies donated the whole project, and the final aim was to build up a working...

Just as in other areas of hi-tech R&D, progress in language technology could not have been achieved without a sustained level of goal-oriented public funding. Especially in the area of language resources and language technology evaluation, much of the existing infrastructure can be attributed to dedicated funding efforts. On this panel representatives of national and international funding agenc...

This paper represents a rst attempt to devise a theoretical economic mechanism to explain the data on the distribution of rms and production across highand low-tech sectors. It builds a model of endogenous directed technical change that merges the expanding-variety with the quality-ladders mechanism, and explores the complementarity between them within a labequipment speci cation and under dist...
