Japan has one of the most powerful, successful and leading heavy industries in the world. From aerospace systems to electric rains, from heavy ships to electric power plants; Japans heavy industry produces every heavy machine the world can imagine of. Japan has the fastest growing heavy industries in the world today. It is also worth mentioning here that Japan is the first in the world to produce heavy machinery tools.

Japan’s major heavy industry players are

• Fuji heavy industry

• Kawasaki Heavy Industry

• Mitsubishi Heavy Industry

• Ishikawajima – Harima Heavy Industry

• Sumitomo Heavy Industry

Aforementioned companies are the market leaders, with Fuji Heavy Industry being the top one. Fuji Heavy Industry was developed in the year 1953. It specializes in manufacturing transportation and aerospace products. Fuji is well known for the fact that the manufacturing processes and products it produces are 100 % environment friendly. The company plays huge part in developing the economy of the country.

Fuji has four corporate divisions. Subaru Automotive Business, Aerospace Company, Industrial Products company and Eco Technology Company. The Automotive Company as the name suggests manufactures cars. The aerospace company has been developing and producing various aircrafts. In the commercial airplane business, the Aerospace Company of Fuji has been a great part of international joint development of Boeing 767 and 777 aircrafts. The company also plays a vital role in the production of unmanned utility vehicles in Japan.

Kawasaki is the second market leader, although it started as a ship builder, its most prominent products are motorcycles, utility vehicles, quad bikes, personal water crafts, industrial plants, tractors, trains and engines.

Japan is known for their technology but also known for their metal stamping industry. According to www.japanheavyindustry.com, their metal industry is so widely known that there are exhibitions catering to metal stamping industries every year in Japan. This industry has grown to become even more popular because of the advancement of Japan’s cutting edge technology.

Many components around us are produced using metal stamping technologies like the switches that we use in our homes, our cars. These are all contrinuted to the advance technology of the metal stamping industry. Metal stamping ensures that the factory produces the same cuts at the same sizes everytime. This provides accuracy and high production rates in the manufacturing industry.

There are many sheet metal stamping products that are imported from Japan. Big companies like Nippon Steel and JFESteel are big export companies in Japan. However, this has been widely affected by the earthquake in Miyagi and these sheet metal stamping products might not make it to the export point in time.

Sheet metal stamping products like custom stamping parts, electronic control panels, sheet metal parts and so on are widely used materials in many industries. All around us are sheet metal stamping materials and are so commonly used in many areas. This has widely contributed to the booming of the metal stamping industry in Japan. Their sheet metal stamping products considered one of the best in the industry.

Various sheet metal stamping products from Japan were exported to many parts of the world and has been one of their many heavy industries in the country. However, this industry has been strongly affected by the major earthquake and tsunami that has hit Miyagi on April 11th, 2011. This has widely damaged most transportation and electricity supply and thus affecting the manufacturing industry.

Although most steel companies in Japan has closed down due to this disaster, the big boys in the manufacturing industry has like JFESteel has resumes operations and are trying their best to remain in their exporting game. Japan, with their keen eye on perfection, has continued to produce more and more cutting edge technology to come out with more sheet metal stamping products that would be the talk of the industry.

This idea was initially started on year 2006 on just a piece of paper. The initial concept was hand drawn on a piece of paper and then it escalated to this unique umbrella design now. This concept was started by two young graduate from Keio university and said to be motivated by this concept because they want to make walking in the rain more fun. This unique umbrella was given the name Pileus as in the head of a mushroom.

This unique design has a large screen inside the canopy of the umbrella and not only that, it also comes with a built-in camera, motion censor, a digital compass and even GPS! This is not all, this unique device also enables photo sharing and also 3D map navigation. Think this is all it does? Wait! There is actually more to it! According to www.pileus.net, the system in this unique umbrella is also connected to major web services like Flickr.

Users of this umbrella can actually take a picture using the camera function in their umbrella as then upload it to Flickr. This will only take two minutes and imagine doing that using your umbrella! Users can also watch downloaded photo videos from Flickr and of course would not take much time to access as well. This works just like a mobile phone but just that, your mobile phone would not shelter you from the storm!

Not only limited to Flickr, users of Pileus can also view videos and share videos on Youtube! How fun can that be with just walking under the rain with an umbrella in hand. These unique functions are accessible and controlled by just rotating the handle of the umbrella. No additional buttons and wires that will complicate things, just you and your internet savvy umbrella!

This umbrella is connected to the internet via wi-fi services and with many places providing free wi-fi services, this means you can be connected to the internet at all times and at anywhere you are. As for the navigation function, it works by by detecting the user’s location via GPS, the GPS will then show a 3D bird’s eye view around the user. The user can compare the 3D view from the umbrella can find their own way to where they want to go.

The Pileus is yet to be marketed worldwide and whether or not it will be a great success is still debatable. However, this is always a fun and great tool as users do not have to be disconnected with the internet world and can now access the cyber world even if you forgot to bring your handphone or any other electrical device along.

LVAD known as Ventricular Assist Device is one of the implants a battery operated device used in increasing the hearts ability to pump blood. This device is used on patients whose heart have slowed down and cannot pump blood to the heart. The patients with this condition are at the end of the road and are in dire need of this implant. This LVAD is surgically implanted into a patient for effective use. One of the noted advantages of the LVAD is that it can be used while a patient is waiting for a final transplant. It has had positive results on the users who have had the chance to be back on their feet once again.

The next implant that helps in effectively supplementing the heart’s rhythm is the pacemaker.  Its basic use is to control an abnormal rhythm, by saying abnormal; I mean a heart can sometimes beat fast or too slowly to supply blood to all parts of the body. It’s a very tiny device that is fitted under the skin close to the heart.  The pacemaker comes with a change of a lifestyle as it sometimes reacts to devices like the use of a mobile phone. This process is done through a minor surgery by a cardiologist who will decide at what point in life a patient will be in need of a pacemaker.  If used correctly as advised by the Doctor one can live for along while with this device.

Nothing gives a patient comfort than having a peace of mind in knowing that their health threatening condition can either be taken care of.  This can be done either through conventional medicine or alternative medicine sometimes referred to as holistic.  The choice depends on the patient and their preferences. We should not forget that people are now closing on the traditional medicine as they do not have the known side effects.  Herbal treatment if not taken in excess, has its advantages. Across the globe, alternative medicine is now being shunned because of their long known side-effects which at times stay with the patients for life.

The chemicals used in preparation of these drugs are now pushing the alternative medicine out of the medicine industry.  Unless it is life and death, patients can now make sound advice on the kind and way to dispense the medicine. In less developed parts of the world where patients have no way or ability to reach a medical facility, they have opted to using holistic way of treatment.  The known advantage of this is that it has been noted that the number of years added to the lives of these patients is notable.  But we should not despair, not all diseases can be treated this way.  Alternative medicine still has its place as despite the side-effects, enough research has been done and they are very effective.

Dry boxes work by creating an environment that maintains a very low level of humidity.  If you are, for example, a photographer living in a climate with a high level of humidity, keeping your cameras and other equipment safe from the elements is a concern.  By using a dry box to regulate the amount of humidity your items are exposed to, you can keep them safe, and increase their lifespan.  Musical instruments made of wood, or sensitive garments that may grow mold if exposed to high levels of humidity are also commonly placed in dry boxes.

While dry boxes can be built simply using special gels and sealed containers, it’s impossible to accurately regulate the level of humidity within the box itself.  This is why some manufacturers have begun creating dry boxes – these are electrically powered cabinets with self regulating humidity monitors that ensure a desired level of dryness will be maintained at all times.  Some boxes do this by condensing the moisture from the air and removing it from the inside of the cabinet.  Other boxes control the humidity level digitally using a cooler and a meter to allow the user to choose the amount of moisture present in the box.

These boxes can be used at home or in a professional setting, and their use is growing.  Manufacturers are beginning to produce units for personal use, so the size is being reduced.  Imagine having a dry box like this in your laundry room or living room to help dry your things!  Products like this are useful, innovative, and sure to make an impact on our lives in the future.
