BCP

I was in Aichi prefecture library.

I looked for books about BCP.

 

It is an abbrev. of Business Continuity Plan.

As you know, there are a lot of earthquake in Japan.

Recently, many Japanese company establish the BCP system.

Even if a huge quake will happen, quick recovery can be done by using BCP system.

 

I could find some books about BCP.

And I borrowed.

In Bhutan

From Oct. 10^th, I stayed in Bhutan, one of Asian small country.

We are visiting as a delegate of PEs specialized wastewater treatment system.

 

We watched some water treatment systems designed and built by Japanese PE.

It’ a huge, excellent and community-based systems.

 

And we also visit many famous temple and places which have good landscapes.

 

We came back Japan at Oct 15.

Adjunct teacher in university

I began an adjunct teacher in Chubu university in Kasugai city from September.

The name of subject is “Control Engineering” for students of College of Engineering department.

It has every Monday.

 

My father who passed away at 82 years old last year was a teacher of elementary and junior high school.

 

I’m working in university now, so I can also understand the difficulty of this job.

Anti-bear bell

This is anti-bear bell.
Do you know?

There are some bears deep in the mountain in Japan.
It’s too dangerous that we encounter a bear.
So we put on a bell like this photo when we walk on mountain in which some bears live.
Most bears hate the sound of bell, so we can avoid the dangerous situation about encountering such a dangerous animal.

Recently, I sometimes work near a lake in the mountain to inspect water quality.
Around the lake, there are monkeys, dears and bears.
To avoid the dangerous situation, we must put the bell on my clothes.

Stag beetle

I caught a stag beetle near my office.

I asked a foreign girl friend who live in Seoul.

“Do you know this insect? Is there also in Korea?”

Her reply is as follows,

“Yeah we have that kinda insect which name is hanulso. (sky cow meaning) Hanul is sky. So mean cow.”

Visited Dalian

I visited Dalian City, China.

Few years ago, I’ve worked about water treatment engineering consultant here. This time, air treatment engineering consultant has been requested to us. Although I cannot tackle such a job, I introduced the other PE whose specialty is air treatment engineering. To meet contract condition, I also visited here with him. I saw president of company and other persons who coordinated our project then.

A meeting about contract condition and how to implement this project is over successfully. After the meeting, we had a dinner in which a various kind of fresh sea foods were catered. And we took a photo there as follows.

 

Business meeting in Busan

I visited Busan in Korea last week.

A business consulting meeting about water treatment technology was held with a client in this city.

First, target of this business was not so clear, so we will start to find the actual problem.

However I could expect the outline of business situation about this project, so I made and submitted a proposal document and estimate sheet.

“Too early! At first, you should see and check the situation of our company. And next you had to think and recommend an improvement method.” The client said.

So I apologized.

However, after long discussion, we agreed and had a contract.

Finally, we took a photo together as follows.

 

Microbes

This movie is an activated sludge of a wastewater treatment system in food factory.
Some microbes are observed by microscope.

Magnification is ×400.

These are may be Chlorella.

The treatment condition will be getting better.

To Korea and China

I’ll visit Busan city, Korea on May 18^th through 19^th.

In the beginning of April, I entered a business matching meeting in Tokyo and discussed with a client about some issues of the company, however we have not agreed. So I’ll visit the company to discuss more detail in detail. I’ll submit a proposal that will make the client too happy by understanding needs of client deeply.

I’ll visit Dalian city, China on June 10^th through 12^th.

About three years ago, I did engineering consultant about water purification technology there. However, this time, I introduced the other professional engineer who are good at an air purification technology because I can hardly deal with the issues. I’ll be invited in order to meet the contract conditions, so I’ll also visit there. I’m looking forward to see president of the company and other persons who worked with me then.

Repairing DO meter

I use various measure equipment to work as an engineering consultant.

pH meter, DO meter, electric conductivity meter, thermometer and so on.

Except the thermometer, there is need to maintain periodically.

Because if the performance of measure equipment is bad condition, I can hardly do accurate or proper technical advises.

As the condition of DO meter was wrong, I changed battery and internal liquid of the equipment.

As a result, it could be recovered.

However, the work that I put small o-ring in the sensor by using tweezer was a troublesome task for me, although I could do easily in my younger days.

Am I presbyopia?

 

ENEX2017 in Tokyo

On Feb. 16^th, I visited Tokyo to collect some latest environmental technology information.
ENEX2017(Energy supply & Service Showcase2017) and InterAqua(8^th International Water Solution Exhibition ) were held at Tokyo Big Sight, Japan.
http://www.low-cf.jp/eng/index.html
There were a lot of displays about renewable energy or energy saving devices. Recently, waste heat of effluent water from factories have been able to available for steam boilers.

Next day, on Feb. 17^th, I visited Kawasaki international Eco-tech Fair and collected many information about environmental technology near Tokyo.

http://www.kawasaki-eco-tech.jp/english/index.html
Latest electric vehicles, Waste treatment system by using Iot technology, latest fuel batteries and some state-of-the-art goods were exhibited.

They were so useful experiences for me. However I regretted that I can hardly digest the too much information I collected during only two days.

Mihama town evening party

I attended an evening party hosted by Mihama town commerce and industry association.

That was a meaningful and useful party because there were not only various kind of business field but also various age range.

Two young person had speech in front of audiences. Those were active and dreamy.

Participants were all drinking and discussed about how this town will be activated. Because the average age of this town is getting increase now, and decline of the number of children continue.

Thank you for everyone who told me some interesting information!

 

Toyohama fishing port

I visited Toyohama fishing port area to implement energy saving diagnosis. 

There are also some staffs who are committed to energy saving there.

Some suggestions have been told to meet there expectation, although I cannot say detail because I have a duty of confidentiality as a professional engineer. 

In February, I’ll implement two other energy saving diagnosis.

Heavy snow

In front of Kowaguchi Station, on Meitetsu Kowa line, there is an objet of Kappa.
Kappa is one of the traditional legendary creature of Japan.

It was the heavy snow for the first time in several years on Jan. 15^th.

Much snow piled on the objet like this photo.

3 days after, all snow melted completely.

 

Parent -and -children hobby project event

I visited Hamamatsu Science Museum on Jan. 8th.

Mr. Makoto Hayashi, a member of Hitachi PE Association, invited me to see the interesting event, parent -and -children hobby project event “Let’s make a toy car that can drive automatically”.

The event was hosted by Hitachi PE Association, and co-hosted Sho-Rin (solar bike race team in Hamamatsu) and Hamamatsu Johoku technical high school.

50 peers of parent -and -children were enjoy making a ty car in this room.

Because making it was pretty difficult, children and their parents had tough time.

However they all completed making their car successfully by the aid of advices by high school students.

As the blue LED acts as a sensor, the car traces the white line and runs.

It was interesting!

Thank you for Hitachi PE Association and co-hosted other teams!

PPAP

I’m drinking also tonight.

And I made such a thing like the photo.

However‥‥‥

Why is such a thing popular?
What is fun about this?

I cannot understand at all.
