Toshiba to 3D print e-filled false nails
News
Toshiba Corporation decided to capitalize on a new and rather unusual direction - the additive production of false nails. The company's specialists believe that a high degree of customization will make the nails more attractive to the traditional female audience, but expect to attract men as well.
Let's talk about what they thought. Most of us are familiar with Toshiba as an electronics manufacturer, although in fact the corporation is also involved in infrastructure solutions and even nuclear power. Diversification by diversification, but the production of false nails, it would seem, does not fit into the portfolio of a well-known manufacturer at all. What if you stuff your nails with electronics?
The Open Nail project, run in partnership with MiCHI Inc., provides custom sticker nail production. Existing products are available as "universal" kits. Universality can be understood as the fact that they are equally bad for all fashionistas, because every woman has her own nail shape. The usual manicure is quite expensive if you turn to professionals, and in any case it takes too much time.
“In practice, only about thirty percent of Japanese women decorate their nails.
The rest 70% either do not have enough time, or it is too expensive, or varnished nails are unacceptable at work. I would recommend these 70% fake nails like this. They can be quickly pasted right after work and before going to the bar with friends or colleagues. Or wear it on weekends. No matter how you decorate your nails, these stickers will help you get around any problem,” says Shun Nakazaki, CEO of MiCHI Inc.
According to the Open Nail team, the answer will be the production of personalized 3D printed kits based on individual models made using 3D scanners or even mobile devices. The resulting information will be stored in a database so that users can always order a new set without having to re-digitize. The printed nails will be decorated by MiCHI artists according to the wishes of the customers and then sent to the customers.
But the team is not going to be limited to art design alone, because nails can be turned into gadgets, and this may also interest men.
Why not embed a chip in your nail to pay for purchases or travel on public transport? You can go further and cover your nails with miniature LCDs and then select your desired pattern or even glow-in-the-dark animations. Or turn your nails into tools for managing the Internet of things. There are a lot of options, and developers are considering all kinds of solutions with the support of a large electronics manufacturer, that is, Toshiba. The project is under development and testing, and the timing of entering the market has not yet been reported.

unexpected products of a Japanese corporation / Sudo Null IT News
We are used to such things as electric lamps, barcode scanners, flash memory cards, personal computers. All these inventions, which have already evolved in order, still surround us. And in many ways, the development of these technologies became possible thanks to Toshiba. What are the Japanese working on now to surprise the world, which is gradually transforming from the real into the virtual?
Under the cut - the stories of five Toshiba projects that can completely change your perception of the company.
Before moving on to stories, let's rewind the timeline a bit to the early 1940s. At this time, two large Japanese companies Tokyo Electric Company and Shibaura Engineering Works merged into one corporation, which became the ancestor of modern Toshiba. Officially, the company received its current name only in 1978.
Toshiba inventions. The world's first double helix lamp - recognized as one of the six great inventions in the history of electric lighting.
The first NAND memory that gave impetus to the development of portable electronics.
Toshiba's ancestors focused on developments in the electric lighting industry, then the combined company began to focus on the consumer goods segment. Now the scope of Toshiba, like any large Japanese conglomerate, is much wider than household and computer equipment. The company takes on the most unusual tasks, which would be impossible to solve without the intervention of modern technologies.
Toji Temple Smart Lighting
The Buddhist temple of To-ji in the south of the Japanese city of Kyoto deserves special attention of tourists.
The temple complex, which has a history of more than twelve centuries, is famous for its 55-meter wooden pagoda, and also includes a traditional Japanese garden with a pond. Impressive during the day, the temple needs elaborate lighting at night. For a Japanese, any given task must be completed at least perfectly, so the lighting is designed to emphasize the beauty of the complex without drawing attention to itself, because the best lighting is the one whose artificiality you quickly stop paying attention to.
Pagoda 826 years old, as high as a 17-story house
Until recently, To-ji was lit by a complex system of discharge lamps, which had several major drawbacks at once. Firstly, the lamps often burned out, and given the number of them in the entire complex, they had to be replaced too often. Secondly, by modern standards, the power consumption of the backlight exceeded all reasonable limits, violating any idea of energy efficiency. This entailed huge energy costs.
Thirdly, over time, the lamps lost their brightness and color temperature, and the new lamps in the old matrix beat out their brightness in comparison with the others. Because of this, I had to deal with complex point adjustment to avoid overexposure and spots.
The first experiments with LED backlight lamps began in 2012, but past generation LEDs could not replace HID lamps due to low brightness and unsuitable color temperature. A few years later, Toshiba received a request to custom-design a lighting system for To-ji Temple. The LEDs available at that time could already provide the necessary brightness with less power consumption, but the cold white light did not fit into the surroundings of the temple at all.
Toshiba Lighting & Technology has developed LEDs that emit light at the ideal wavelength. Several prototype lamps were created and field-tested at the To-ji site. Experimentally, it was possible to calculate the optimal ratio of diodes: emitters with a temperature of 3000 K and 2000 K were installed on the matrix in a ratio of 1: 2, which together gave a soft, uniform warm light.
View of LED lamps in To-ji Temple
Since one of the most prominent and popular objects of the complex is a five-story pagoda, the first lamps were located around it. Toshiba lamps reduced the power consumption of the lighting system by 51%, and lamp life increased 5 times to 60,000 hours.
3D printed custom nails
Manicure is one of the procedures, which is almost impossible to automate, because we are talking about the manual labor of a master, whose imagination determines the final result. The first attempt to simplify the process and enable customization of the pattern belongs to the Clawz startup, which in 2015 offered 3D printing of universal false nails with any design. The idea failed due to the high cost of a set of tips (from 50 to 150 dollars) and their non-ideal fit to natural nails. Soon, 3D manicure printers appeared on sale, but the printed nails were much inferior to the work of even novice masters.
In 2017, Toshiba, together with the Japanese manicure studio michi, launched the OpenNail project, aimed at printing false nails with any design just for the customer's fingers. OpenNail's work consisted of two stages: at the first, a 3D scan of the client's nails was created using the Shining 3D EinScan-Pro scanner and Toshiba surface reading technology, then copies of the nails were cast based on the scans using stereolithography.
An OpenNail customer received false nails that fit perfectly. In the future, based on the scans stored on the server, he could order new tips without having to go through a second scan procedure.
3D Printed Fake Nails
Urban Eco Farms
Technology is a tool with which you can solve the most unusual problems. Toshiba clearly demonstrated this by launching its own farm in 2014. The project was aimed at creating an ultra-modern eco-friendly farm for growing greens, but without soil and the need to wash the crop before consumption.
For its experiment, the company set up a "clean room" in a vacant floppy disk factory near the Japanese city of Yokosuka.
As clean as a processor factory
In an isolated farm, electronics carefully controlled humidity, temperature and lighting, creating the best conditions for fast growth, high yields and good taste. Under these conditions, lettuce grew on multi-tiered "beds" occupying a very small area. He didn't even need soil, as water and nutrients were supplied directly to the roots using hydroponics.
Growing and harvesting in a disinfected environment kept packaged greens longer than traditionally grown lettuce.
A working eco-farm is just a way to show how technology can improve the economic efficiency of agriculture. The topic of such eco-farms is especially relevant in megacities, near which it is impossible to organize eco-friendly vegetable plantations due to the deplorable state of the environment. Toshiba's solution was attractive because modern beds with absolutely clean and safe crops can be planted even in the very center of the city.
On-the-fly analysis of sports games
Sport has been and remains one of the most conservative activities - changes in rules, regulations and technologies, if they happen, are only to increase the safety of players. But the FIFA World Cup held in Russia literally turned football canons upside down due to the official use of the VAR video replay system. If earlier even the erroneous opinion of the referee had to be accepted unconditionally, then during the 2018 World Cup, in any disputable situations, the chief referee could personally watch the video replay of the moment. Thanks to this system, justice was restored several times at the championship when it came to a clear refereeing mistake.
Far more sophisticated technological monitoring and analysis systems are ready and tested, the issue of their use should be decided by the relevant sports authorities. For example, Toshiba programmers and engineers have developed a real-time rugby game analysis system - and it is successfully used in Japan.
AI tracks players without the use of wearable sensors
Using a combination of cameras, microphones and AI with machine learning, the computer tracks all the players and the ball, providing detailed statistics on the fly. Unlike football, rugby is difficult to monitor automatically - it is a contact sport with a large number of collisions, and the ball spends a lot of time in the hands of the players, now and then hiding from the cameras. Toshiba solved this problem: the computer predicts the position of the ball based on its past positions and the movements of the players, and the prediction is extremely accurate.
The analysis system did not require the players or the ball to wear sensors to fully function – the cameras distinguish the athletes, and the microphones determine the referee's whistle.
The system tracks the movement of the ball and players in real time
The behavior of both own and opposing team players is available in real time and can be read at any time.
This is especially useful for analyzing tactics and results during the short ten-minute break between halves.
Toshiba's Rugby Analysis System is currently used only at corporate team games and for training new athletes - such technological assistants are prohibited at official events. For now. It is possible that at first, intelligent analytics will be provided to the teams at the end of the match, so that its results do not make adjustments to the game. At least the technologies for the mass implementation of AI analytics are already ready.
Virtual fitting room in store
The idea of virtual fitting rooms, where your reflection in the mirror will be “put on” any clothes that perfectly repeat the shapes and movements of the body, appeared a long time ago. But the effectiveness of such fitting rooms rested on the capabilities of technology. Back in 2015, Toshiba at CES in Las Vegas introduced a system of a mirror display and a Kinect sensor.
