Kawasaki and Yamaguchi, Japan, Nov 27, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited and Yamaguchi University today announced the successful development of a low-power edge computing technology that enables image processing on small satellites using redundant GPUs within 10 minutes (near real time). This innovative technology is designed for low-Earth orbit Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites, which illuminate the Earth's surface with microwaves and receive reflected waves to create two-dimensional images.The new system offers high fault tolerance against cosmic radiation and operates efficiently within the typical 20W power constraints of small satellites. It can process data, including error detection and reprocessing, within approximately 10 minutes. Validated with raw SAR data on a satellite prototype, the technology successfully performed both L1 [1] (raw data to 2D image) and L2 [2] (image to observed quantity) processing, accurately determining ocean surface wind speeds. This versatile technology is also applicable to optical and multi-hyperspectral satellites.Fujitsu plans to release the developed programming environment, Fujitsu Research Soft Error Radiation Armor, to users in Japan in February 2026.Moving forward, Fujitsu and Yamaguchi University will continue to refine correction data accuracy. Fujitsu aims to advance services and operations by enabling near real-time AI processing on satellites, realizing previously unfeasible applications. This will involve in-orbit validation on actual satellites to promote user-friendly data processing systems across various satellite types.About the new technologyFujitsu and Yamaguchi University leveraged Fujitsu's computing technologies, cultivated through its expertise in AI and supercomputer development, and Yamaguchi University's satellite data (remote sensing data) analysis technologies to develop the following key functions:1. Highly fault-tolerant computer system with redundant configuration operating within satellite power limitsSystem employs redundant processors to detect errors, a critical feature for operating within the challenging space environment for efficientTo meet satellite power constraints, the system dynamically manages computing resources and program execution, ensuring both performance and energy efficiency2. Development of a programming environment for computer systems resilient to cosmic radiation errorsRobust programming environment (library) using Linux, Python, and open-source softwareLibrary simplifies the implementation of error detection, computer restarts, and recalculation functions, and includes a novel technique to improve error processing efficiency by dividing computational jobs Figure 1: Difference in processing time of two errors. For simplicity, restart time is not included.A prototype system, operating under 20W, successfully processed raw SAR data (L1 and L2) in under 10 minutes, achieving near real-time performance. By applying compression, correction, and wind speed estimation models to the time distribution of radar reflection intensity from the ground, ocean surface wind speeds could be calculated in units of several hundred meters (see Figure 2 below). Real-time calculation of ocean surface wind speeds from satellites is expected to contribute to maritime safety by providing immediate notifications of high-wind areas to vessels.Figure 2: Raw data (left), L1 processed data (center), and L2 processed data of sea surface wind speed (right). For the L2 processed data, only the sea area is displayed, with wind speed represented by color. Ships and bridges are also converted as windy areas and would typically be removed as noise [3]BackgroundSatellites, orbiting in the range of 200 km - 36,000 km from the Earth’s surface, offer extensive Earth observation using UV, IR, and radar for diverse applications like object detection, environmental monitoring, and resource mapping. However, traditional ground-based data processing introduces multi-hour delays. Small satellites face strict power limits (typically under 20W) and require robust error detection against cosmic radiation, which conventional programming struggles to address.[1] L1 Processing:Process to calculate the Earth's surface conditions from the time distribution of radar reflection intensity, also known as compression processing.[2] L2 Processing: Process to apply corrections based on information about the Earth's surface and atmosphere to L1 processed data, which then derives physical quantities such as ocean surface wind speed and wave height from the state of the reflected waves.[3] These figures contain modified Copernicus Sentinel data [2025].About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.

The company will pass on the insights and know-how gained during this renewal to the next generation and continue to respond effectively to customers’ future needs for spiral escalator renewals.Construction and Features of the Renewed Product1) The world’s first ever renewal of a spiral escalator, contributing to the product’s continued safe and secure operation- The team carried out the world’s first renewal of a spiral escalator, a product manufactured exclusively by MEBS.- Several major parts (the control panel, drive unit, safety devices, etc.) were replaced to ensure the continued safe and secure operation of this spiral escalator, which is a central feature of the building.2) Achieving improved energy efficiency, and aesthetic appearance by applying the latest functions and design- An automatic operation stationary in stand-by function has been newly introduced. A sensor detects the presence of escalator users and automatically stops operation when no users are detected. This reduces energy consumption when the escalator is unoccupied.- By replacing the existing polycarbonate interior panels with glass panels, the renewal will reduce aging-related effects such as photodegradation, which is a characteristic of plastic materials, and improve the escalator’s aesthetic appearance.- By enhancing the escalator’s energy conservation, and aesthetic appearance, the renewal will contribute to increasing the value of the customer’s building.3) Achieving a safe and high-quality renewal by overcoming construction conditions and structural issues with highly skilled techniques- Although the facility remained in operation and the working space was limited, which made it difficult to secure room for removing the existing components, the work was completed by repeatedly repositioning and reconfiguring the on-site lifting crane and gantry**.- During the installation of the interior panels and decorative parts, the spiral escalator's unique curved design makes it easy for slippage and gaps to occur. To overcome this problem, skilled workers drew on their experience to make fine adjustments down to the millimeter, such as cutting parts on site.- Through this renewal work, the company has strengthened its ability to meet customers’ future renewal needs by reliably handing down to and sharing with the next generation the advanced, highly specialized technologies and skills related to renewal of spiral escalators.Product SpecificationsProductMain replacement partsNo. of unitsManufacturerSpiral EscalatorControl Panel, Drive Unit, Safety Devices, Handrails, Steps, Interior Panels1 unitINZAZWA Building Systems Works* The panel shown here differs from the panels delivered for the current project.** Unlike conventional construction or overhead cranes, this is a self-supporting, lightweight crane device designed for handling light loads. It features an aluminum frame for easy installation and relocation, and can be operated without relying on the building’s structural elements.Future DevelopmentSince MEBS developed the world’s first spiral escalator in 1985, MEBS has manufactured a total of 111 units. Some of these existing spiral escalators are now 30 to 40 years old, and a certain level of demand for renewing these units to continue in future years. Spiral escalators, in particular, require extremely specialized technology and expertise from design to manufacture and installation due to their unique curved structure. In addition, unlike new spiral escalator installations conducted in the past, this renewal project was the company’s first attempt to dismantle, install, and adjust existing parts that can still be used, such as the trusses that form the escalator’s framework. In this project, a skilled engineer who has successfully installed spiral escalators in Japan and all over the world took the lead and completed the work while handing down his or her expertise to the next generation. MEBS will continue to provide its one-of-a-kind spiral escalators together with high-quality maintenance and renewal services so that these machines can continue to be used safely and comfortably around the world.Overview of MELMEXCompany NameMitsubishi Electric de Mexico S.A. de C.V.LocationState of Mexico, United Mexican StatesOwnershipMitsubishi Electric Corporation: 86.15%Mitsubishi Electric Building Solutions Corporation: 13.85%EstablishedApril 1976BusinessSales, manufacture, installation, and maintenance of elevators and escalators About Mitsubishi Electric Building Solutions CorporationMitsubishi Electric Building Solutions Corporation is a consolidated subsidiary of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation established in April 2022 that conducts a comprehensive range of operations in the building systems business, from development and manufacturing to maintenance and renewal.

TOKYO and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 26, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: HaruoNaito, “Eisai”) and Biogen Inc. (Nasdaq: BIIB, Corporate headquarters: Cambridge, Massachusetts, CEO: Christopher A. Viehbacher, “Biogen”) announced today that Eisai has completed the rolling submission of the Supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for lecanemab-irmb (U.S. brand name: LEQEMBI®) subcutaneous autoinjector(SC-AI), LEQEMBI IQLIK, as a weekly starting dose after the FDA granted Fast Track Status. LEQEMBI is indicated for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment(MCI) or mild dementia stage of disease (collectively referred to as early AD). Upon acceptance of the sBLA, the FDA will set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date (target date for review completion). The sBLA is supported by data evaluating subcutaneous (SC) administration of lecanemab across arange of doses and as part of sub-studies within the Phase 3 Clarity AD open-label extension (OLE)following the 18-month core study in individuals with early AD. Data show that once-weekly administration of the 500 mg of SC-AI achieved equivalent exposure to once every two weeks intravenous (IV) administration and similar clinical and biomarker benefits. Subcutaneous administration demonstrated a safety profile similar to IV administration, with less than 2% incidence ofsystemic injection/infusion-related reactions.Should the FDA approve the LEQEMBI IQLIK 500 mg SC dosing regimen (two 250 mg injections), the autoinjector could be used to administer a once- weekly starting dose, as an alternative to the current bi-weekly (every two weeks) intravenous (IV) dosing. This would enable patients and care partners to choose SC administration at home for both initial treatment and the currently approved maintenance therapy, offering the option of SC or IV administration throughout the entire treatment journey. The injection time for each LEQEMBI IQLIK autoinjector takes approximately 15 seconds. The SC formulation also has the potential to reduce healthcare resources associated with IV dosing, such as preparation for infusion and nurse monitoring, while streamlining the overall AD treatment pathway.AD is a progressive, relentless disease, with amyloid beta (Aβ) and tau as hallmarks, that is caused by a continuous underlying neurotoxic process driven by protofibrils* that begins before amyloid plaqueaccumulation and continues after plaque removal.1,2,3 Only LEQEMBI fights AD in two ways – targetingboth protofibrils and amyloid plaque, which can impact tau downstream. LEQEMBI is currently approved in 51 countries and regions and is under regulatory review in 9 countries. In August 2025, the US FDA approved LEQEMBI IQLIK 360 mg for weekly subcutaneous maintenance dosing after 18 months of IV treatment every two weeks.Eisai serves as the lead for lecanemab’s development and regulatory submissions globally with Eisai and Biogen co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority.For more details, please visit: https://www.eisai.com/news/2025/pdf/enews202581pdf.pdf Copyright 2025 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

To commemorate the second anniversary of Anime Tokyo Station, Miina Tominaga and Kaori Nazuka were dressed in kimono, while Tomohiro Yamaguchi appeared in a white tuxedo—reportedly his first time wearing one in his life.The next chat featured a discussion of “Favorite Anime” in connection with Anime Tokyo Station. The topic was “The Anime That Inspired You to Pursue Voice Acting.” Kaori Nazuka answered with “Ojarumaru,” which was both her debut work and favorite anime since childhood. “When I was in my first year of middle school, I appeared in a musical. Back then, I had the opportunity to perform alongside Ayaka Saito (who was appearing in “Ojarumaru” at the time). The director of “Ojarumaru,” Akitaro Daichi, came to see that stage performance and scouted me as a voice actor. When I made my debut, I was shocked by how bad I was (laughs),” she commented. Tomohiro Yamaguchi answered with “Utawarerumono,” “My Bride is a Mermaid,” “Mobile Suit Gundam,” and “Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.” He said that when he watched late-night anime again as an adult, he was “shocked by how fascinating it was.” He became obsessed with “Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion,” which featured Kaori Nazuka, and would even leave his part-time job early to watch it. “It’s no exaggeration to say I’m doing this job now thanks to Miina and Kaori,” he said, and the venue erupted in laughter.Following the chat, legendary voice actor Masako Nozawa sent a congratulatory message celebrating Anime Tokyo Station’s second anniversary. Miina Tominaga shared her thoughts: “Receiving Masako Nozawa’s words of praise, encouragement, and support energizes us every single year! We always receive so much power from her.”During the press photo session, a surprise appearance by Maruko from “CHIBI MARUKO-CHAN” drew voices of excitement from the audience as she struck numerous poses for the cameras, hyping up the venue.During the latter half of the event, Miina Tominaga, Kaori Nazuka, and Tomohiro Yamaguchi delivered a live performance of “Kumo no Kiremani (A Break in the Clouds),” the third installment in the “Arashi No Yoru Ni (One Stormy Night)” series of dramatic readings that also drew attention at the Anime Tokyo Station Tanabata Festival. Accompanied by live percussion, original background music, and sound effects, their performance was packed with realism. The audience gathered at the venue listened quietly to this rare dramatic reading, and a huge round of applause erupted after it ended.Following the dramatic reading, Yuichi Kimura, author of the “Arashi No Yoru Ni (One Stormy Night)” series, appeared for a chat. He shared his thoughts: “It was wonderful. Out of all seven volumes, this one is the most understated. Yet your performance was incredibly interesting and funny. I was able to see my work in a new light.” The three performers, who had been nervous about performing in front the author, responded, “We were nervous about doing this in front of you, so thank you very much.”Footage of this event will be made available on the official Anime Tokyo Station YouTube channel for a limited time from Saturday November 15 to Sunday, November 30.

TOKYO, Nov 19, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) announced the decarbonization potential of its agricultural software platform "CropScope" at COP30 (the 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change), held in Belém, Brazil, from November 10, 2025. NEC, together with global climate consultancy the Carbon Trust developed a case study in Hokkaido, Japan, to demonstrate the use of CropScope’s variable fertilizer application function. The Carbon Trust calculated the net carbon impact of the solution as approximately –6 tCO2e, resulting in a 23% reduction in emissions when used on the crop type Winter Wheat.This calculation quantifies the decarbonization potential for society and was conducted as NEC became the first Japanese company(*1) selected for the Net Carbon Impact Assessment promoted by the European Green Digital Coalition(*2).Presentation at the COP30 "AgriZone"The Net Carbon Impact Assessment scientifically evaluates environmental contributions enabled by digital technology. NEC applied to and was selected for this project, inspired by the potential of digital solutions for agriculture—a sector closely linked to climate change.Through this project, NEC conducted the first quantitative assessment demonstrating that CropScope's variable fertilizer application not only improves fertilizer efficiency but also delivers environmental benefits. This assessment will be published as a case study report.NEC's CropScope reduces Nâ‚‚O (nitrous oxide) emissions generated from fertilizer-derived nitrogen through nitrification and denitrification reactions by suppressing excessive fertilization via variable-rate application. In 2022, NEC conducted field trials on multiple crops at a farm in northern Japan. Based on these data, NEC quantitatively evaluated the results within the framework of the European Green Digital Coalition’s Net Carbon Impact Assessment with support from the Carbon Trust.CropScope Features1. Generation of high-precision variable fertilizer application maps through satellite data analysisVariable fertilizer application is a technology that optimizes fertilizer application rates for each location based on the growth status and soil properties within a field. CropScope analyzes monitoring data, such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and estimated soil nitrogen levels derived from satellite imagery, to divide fields into multiple management zones. Moreover, it automatically calculates and maps the optimal fertilizer application rate for each zone. Utilizing this map reduces localized surpluses and shortages that conventional uniform fertilization cannot address, enabling efficient use of fertilizer and improved productivity. 2. Compatibility with Farm Machinery and Ease of Field ImplementationThe generated fertilizer application maps can be linked with compatible tractors and fertilizer spreaders to automatically execute zone-specific fertilizer application. A key feature is the ability to easily utilize variable rate fertilization—which previously required specialized knowledge and complex settings—through a seamless process from data analysis and map generation to actual fertilization. The user-friendly interface and practical design significantly lower the barrier to adoption in the field, even for first-time users.Going forward, NEC will promote the decarbonization benefits achieved through CropScope and advance its carbon credit generation initiatives.(*1) As of November 17, 2025(*2) The European Green Digital Coalition (EGDC) is a group of companies committed to supporting the Green and Digital Transformation of the European Union.About NEC CorporationNEC Corporation has established itself as a leader in the integration of IT and network technologies while promoting the brand statement of "Orchestrating a brighter world." NEC enables businesses and communities to adapt to rapid changes taking place in both society and the market as it provides for the social values of safety, security, fairness and efficiency to promote a more sustainable world where everyone has the chance to reach their full potential.
