Our research group developed the digital ventilated case for meteorological instruments called "Weather Bucket", which forecasts the weather by automatic observation of familiar meteorological phenomena. Originally, a science teacher at a junior high school in Katsurao-mura and a designer built the prototype, and we semicommercialized it on the educational materials development project by the then Ministry of Education. Furthermore, we proposed its miniaturization with PIC microcomputer, and conducted the implementation. Productization and commercialization were launched through the collaboration with enterprises in Hakodate. We could realize our original goals of offering it at a low price and being able to handle it easily. Having been installed the simple numerical forecast software, this product has received a high reputation from large-scale farming in Hokkaido. This report covers the details of hardware/software product designs and eight-year development process resulted from collaboration between local enterprises and a public university.

This project is designing to remove and reconstruct a Japanese-and-Western-style residence (built in the 4th year of the Showa Era) which will be displaced by a broadened promenade accompanying the construction of National Kyushu Museum. The purpose of the designing is double: removing and restoring the two-story wooden residence built for descendants of Shuho Saito, a painter in the Edo Era, to preserve it as a cultural heritage in Dazaifu City which is eligible for a registered cultural asset; and remaking it into a new practical space fit for the modern life style. By rearranging the 76-year-old wooden residence in the local cultural scene, this project offers the idea that everyday living space lasts long through everyday developments and changes.

The disaster prevention map of each district of 13 arias of Fujisawa city in Knagawa is revised every 6-8 years. The map of Tsujido district, one of 13 arias of Fujisawa, made in 2001 was needed to be updated. The disaster prevention map project was started up in April, 2004, and investigation was carried out by the citizens group "Tsujido citizens meeting" and Tsuchiya laboratory in Shonan Institute of Technology. In making a disaster prevention map in the past, inefficiency in the field survey and the map making was a big problem. Then, I tried to apply a new method using IT tools such as GIS (map information system) and cellular phone with GPS (Global Positioning System) to this investigation to improve accuracy and efficiency. Information of about 480 places in total was acquired as a result of the investigation that had been executed in May-July, 2004, and the disaster prevention map was completed in March, 2005, and was distributed to the citizens in Tsujido district.

Along with the proliferation of the Internet, more elderly and disabled persons will use the Internet, thus making the Web accessibility increasingly important. Moreover, it will be necessary to check Web accessibility with the creation of the Web pages. We developed "Fujitsu Accessibility Assistance", which is a group of software tools that supports the enhancement of Web accessibility so that as many people as possible can access information and services. Fujitsu Accessibility Assistance consists of the following three software products: "WebInspector" diagnoses the readability of Web pages by persons with visual disabilities and those with color blindness. "ColorSelector" enables web designers to select the most suitable combinations of background color and character color for real-time design. "ColorDoctor" simulates the manner in which the coloring of characters and video images on Web pages are visible to color-blind persons.

In April 2000, the Tokyo National Museum aimed to improve services, realigned various operations and thus implemented a broad range of organizational reforms, which resulted in a change in the flow of projects and situations. The process of renewal took place over two years. Part of this renovation included the revitalization of the Honkan. This was a large-scale project that had been viewed with increasing interest in recent years, but it became an urgent matter following the opening of the Heiseikan in 1999. The Heiseikan, which is used for special exhibitions, occasionally has over ten-thousand visitors daily. Conversely, the number of visitors to the Honkan, the main exhibition space for the regular exhibitions, was a cause of great concern. Until the renovation, the second floor of the Honkan was used to display objects according to their genre. The renovations changed the second floor to a format that is separated by time period in the "Highlights of Japanese Art" exhibition. While the previous display style was aimed more at specialists and experts, the new way offers a circular flow that functions like a textbook and being geared for the average visitor, so it is easy to understand. Visitors provided feedback and further work was performed in July and August of 2004. After the renewal of the Honkan, a grand reopening was held in September 2004.

This project is a joint project of university-government-industry which our university enforced. We made three concepts of "the place of the rest" "induce child's creativity" "the symbol of the place" for these facilities. A wood stage, a wood deck and an objet were made by these. These considered environment to all materials and used local thinning materials. The experience of sharing all information from the investigation to the plan, the proposal, and construction and executing it became meaningful as an education effect to the student.

The technology that rendered signals such as voltage, electric current and temperature as visible waveforms has progressed dramatically since its breakthrough in 1970. In 1979, this technology materialized into what is now known as the electromagnetic oscilloscope, furthering the development of waveform analysis. To minimize running costs, Model 8101 Solid HiCORDER representing the electrical discharge type of measurement, was released. However, as needs diversified together with the age, the pressure was on to develop a new type of recording instrument. To answer this demand, the new 8860 MEMORY HiCORDER representing the new generation of memory recorders was born, uniting the data logging and digital oscilloscope functions for both trend observation and high speed data capture all in one single instrument. HIOKI is once again proud to be the recipient of the 2005 Good Design Award for our new 8860 MEMORY HiCORDER, and will strive to continue this long tradition in the years to come.

This product was jointly developed with Daido Kogyo Co., Ltd. (Ishikawa Prefecture) between May 2003 and December 2004. The company, a pioneer in the manufacture of chair type stair lifts, has captured the largest share of the market. However, with big gains being achieved by other companies over recent years, they have decided to introduce a design to strengthen the edge they enjoy in market share. Market research has clarified the fact that most of the products currently on the market are designed so as to give the impression as if they are pieces of machinery equipped with office chairs. We feel that a product used at home by elderly and physically handicapped people should be more like household furniture than a piece of machinery. For this reason we decided on a development concept which may be described as "furniture instead of machinery." Through a collaboration between design and technology, we have succeeded in developing a product which can be folded to a size smaller than any other in the world, and which is the first ever to be equipped with a plywood chair. This product, which won the "Good Design Award 2004" and earned high ratings at the International Welfare Equipment and Device Fair in the same year, was commercialized in January 2005.

Organic electroluminescence is a phenomenon which organic matter emit light, when is applied electricity, and at the same time is an artificially-created "organic light" such as light of a firefly in the nature. This organic electroluminescence is now under developing as high technology oriented for the future. Here is proposed using organic electroluminescence for the space of Japanese space to develop the lighting system by the new source of light, invented by this new technology, which is not produced for an optical environment by so far. When actual making it indoors for trial purposes, it was able to be reproduced in the temporary housing space adopted, referring to the method of composing the space of "chashitsu" -tea ceremony room in Japanese style. We have tried to unite the light by a new technology and arranging the space and the sensibility to the material, which used in term of space designing for Japanese space.

Emergency cart is a medical assistance equipment, which is used from the point when an emergency patient arrives at the emergency room of a hospital in an emergency situation. For the resuscitation, medical treatment has to be processed in the shortest time and in the most efficient movement. Thus, a sufficient functionality and the design of the storage space that would suit each aim of the task is required. This emergency cart design has been conducted over the period of one year, starting in March 2003, with emergency room at Tsukuba University Hospital as the main field, and in corporation with Hitachi Regional Technical Support Center, by applying the new idea of "Medium-Agent Function" (fig-1). In the design process, the specific nature of the ward was understood, and problems and artificial errors in the usage of existing emergency carts were found and noted. Then the new design was compared with the existing carts by simulating the actual situation in the intensive care unit (ICU), and was refined to a high quality prototype. This was a good opportunity to learn technical knowledge that is specific to the specialized medical field. Designing in the future should be considered not as the final artifact, but as a process to output the final results.
