Recent topical research achievements Research on advanced driver assistance system for traffic safety and security enhancement. Computer simulations and experiments on micro-scale electric vehicle showed capability of direct yaw moment control and drive-by-wire as a driver assistance system. Development of micro-walking robot utilizing insect muscle tissues. This battery-free bio-mechanical system has possibility of being applied to MEMS devices such as micropump and sensor. Development of nano lithium titanate / carbon composite capacitor achieving three times as high energy density as current electric double layer capacitor. When commercialized, the new capacitor may be utilized to store renewable energy or as regeneration systems for hybrid cars. New Long-culm type rice cultivar “Leaf Star” for Whole Crop Silage is now being produced in the central and south area of Japan mainland. Leaf Star is a high yield biomass rice with starch-rich, low lignin and superior lodging resistance. NOVEL-IINOVEL-I Leaf Star

TUAT's image processing method is utilized in Japanese digital mammography CAD system that has high performance in detecting early stage tumors and micro-calcification regions. In the course of research on atopic dermatitis model NC/Nga mice, a novel real-time scratching behavior quantification system with high-speed vision for small laboratory animals was invented and is being used for the development of new drugs for allergic diseases. TUAT developed an on-line handwritten Japanese text recognition model which is adopted by major Japanese manufacturers of computers and word processors due to its high recognition accuracy of 96%. The latest version is free from line-direction constraint and writing format constraint such as character writing boxes or ruled lines. Solubilization and inodorization of animal materials such as fish skin, scales and feathers. While collagen from shark skin has been sold, other items such as protein rich and ultra-low fat shark minced balls are on the market. TUAT Technology Transfer
