Shibasaburo Kitasato Memorial Hall

Hello RPV.

The state of emergency has been lifted, but before the rainy season begins, I would like to remind everyone that we are still in the midst of the rainy season.How are you doing?

Usually at this time of the year, it is time for the Kyushu 2ST meeting, but unfortunately it was cancelled this year (...).

The picture shows last year's meeting place (Kisankan parking lot). Thank you for providing the venue every year. m(_ _*)m

 

The organizer, Mr. A. Yoshi, was celebrating the 20th anniversary of the 2ST meeting,

The participants and their companions (who also participated this year) presented them with words of appreciation for their labor and commemorative gifts.

Thank you for your hard work for 20 years, Mr. A. Yoshi. m(_ _*)m

Unfortunately, the event was cancelled this year, but we look forward to the next one!(^∧^;)

 

Also, this time (last May), near the venue of the Kyushu 2ST meeting.

Visit the memorial hall of Shibasaburo Kitasato, the "father of bacteriology in Japan," whose portrait will appear on the 1,000-yen bill in 2024.I have been here.

It is a few minutes walk from the venue.

This time of year, there are many beautiful days and it is a great walking course. o^□^o

 

Purchase tickets at the reception desk and enter. o^□^o

 

The first place you will see is the Kitasato Bunko (pink building), where various materials are on display.

 

The white building on the right is the "storehouse" and serves as a library.

This building was "established with Dr. Kitasato's private funds" for the benefit of the township's youth.

As I recall, the same was true for the founding of the Institute, the predecessor of "Kitasato University. \"Kitasato University" was founded in the same way!

 

This is the entrance to the Kitasato Bunko. Photography was prohibited in this museum. m(. _.) m

 

At the entrance, there was a commemorative photo of the inauguration in 1916 (left) and a centennial photo from 100 years later, in 2016 (right). 100 years have passed, it's amazing (‘-‘*)

 

A bust of Kitasato Sensei is on the right side of the entrance to the Kitasato Bunko.

 

The "noble residence" is located to the north of the bust.

 

This is the interior of the guest house. The staircase in the back reminds me of my relative's house in the countryside.

 

Dr. Satoshi Omura, winner of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, was also a special honorary professor at Kitasato University (^-^)

 

This is the view outside from "Kihin-kan". The mountains in the back are probably the Kujyu Mountain Range.

 

Next is the "birthplace".

 

 

This is the backyard as seen from inside the "birth house."

 

This is a view of the birthplace seen from the guesthouse.

 

This is the north passageway of the "birth house". Fresh greenery grows this time of year.

 

Successfully cultivated pure culture of tetanus bacillus!"

 

This pavilion is located in the backyard of the Kihin-kan.

 

Many visitors came from abroad.

 

Dr. Kitasato is a great man who devoted his life to the medical care of the people of Japan, and is the pride of Kumamoto.

In order to follow his beliefs, he had conflicts with various quarters, but with the support of Fukuzawa Yukichi, he was able to successfully accomplish this. I believe that Dr. Kitasato is the one who deserves the Nobel Prize. Although he came after Hideyo Noguchi, who worked at the Kitasato Institute, he deserved to be chosen for the portrait on the banknote.

I wonder how Dr. Kitasato, who is also known as "Kaminari Oyaji" (Father Kaminari), views the current Corona uproar? I am wondering how Dr. Kitasato and his disciples will appear in this world and end the Corona disturbance in a flash.

I hope to emulate Dr. Kitasato's spirit of service to his own people throughout his life, even if only a little.

 

Also, please take a look inside the Kitasato Collection, which we could not introduce this time. I am sure you will be moved by Dr. Kitasato's achievements. It is also a good idea to think about the hardships and the way of life of Dr. Kitasato and the people involved in the Corona fiasco. I am also looking forward to the issuance of Dr. Kitasato's new bill (^▽^)

If you have a chance to visit Kumamoto, please do so. There are many delicious restaurants and wonderful hot springs in the area.

See you soon.

Restraint Week

Hello RPV.

How did you spend this year's Golden Week? In past years, we would have enjoyed the holidays by going to the beach, mountains, and various events, but unfortunately, we had to give up this year (>_<...).

I had planned to go on a motorcycle touring trip for the first time in a long time, but decided to give it up gracefully. However, I could not waste the effective time of the consecutive holidays, so I took this opportunity to work on the maintenance of my motorcycle, looking forward to the day of convergence that will eventually come. The maintenance included tire replacement and overhaul of the hydraulic clutch.

I left the tire replacement to a trusted store, Honda Route 57, and I was in charge of the clutch overhaul (〃〃-〃-〃).

New tires are great~”o(>ω< )o ”I'm looking forward to going out on the road next time.

 

This is out of the blue, but when the master cylinder is disassembled, the groove of the C-ring that holds the piston is quite dirty.

 

The grease was deteriorating on the push rod as well (..._...)

 

C-ring grooves are cleaned with a small wheel brush (⌒ο⌒)¶

 

It was cleaned up there~(^o^)v

 

I installed a new piston set, and made new cups and O-rings, etc. (≧∇≦) In addition, I changed the bearing of the lever! I forgot to take a picture of the slave side.

 

When the fluid has reached the slave side, the lever side should be elevated as shown in the image, and when you "niggle" the lever, air bubbles will appear in the cup and you will feel the pressure of the lever. When the air bubbles are gone and you feel a steady hand pressure, the air release is complete.

 

Now it is time to put the master cylinder back in place and adjust the position of the lever to complete the process.

It looks like these holidays will continue for a while. I hope I will be able to go touring soon~ ヾ(□`∥)

それではまた~(*´Д`)ノ~~

Very different from my Cub.

Hello, I am in charge of the web. It's almost December, and I feel how fast a year passes by.

I have been using a Super Cub 110 for quite a while. I went to one of your homes.

It was placed, Super Cub 125!

Cast wheels and disc brakes. They also brake well.

 

Plated parts are abundant!

 

digital meter

 

What a smart key!

I was surprised to see how much it has changed from my year-old Cub.

 

Weighing with AI?

Hello, I'm the webmaster. I'm having a hard time finding experiences lately that I can write about in my corporate blog (lol).

So, I will borrow a news story.

Portable terminal to support pig farmers by estimating pigs' weight with AI image recognition

From IT Media News

The aim is to reduce the burden of manual weighing of pigs on pig farmers.

They are going to release a tablet-like thing that guesses your weight.

Sooner or later, as AI advances, even a person walking around with clothes on will guess your weight if you take a picture of them.

A system may be developed....

 

In fact, our company also weighs indirectly.

As shown in the sample introduction page, it can measure the volume of the object being photographed.

If the specific gravity is known, then the weight can be measured.

Inquiries are welcome.

TA-BO'S THEATRE

Hello, RPV.

It has been a while. How are you doing? It is getting warmer during the busy season at the end of the fiscal year.

We had no flu in our company because of the company vaccination program, but it was difficult for some of our staff to get sick with hay fever and sinusitis (me).

Some time ago, last November, we exhibited at a die-casting exhibition held at Pacifico Yokohama.

This is an image of Mt. Aso from an airplane heading for Haneda. It was a good view during the season of autumn leaves.

At this time of year, the air is clear and distant views can be seen clearly.

 

Fuji can be seen near the center of this image. Fuji is also wonderful this time of year when it is snow-capped.Yes!

On its lower side is Omaezaki, located between the Sea of Enshu and Suruga Bay.

 

During the exhibition, we received many new visitors to our booth, including many new customers,

Existing customers and software and equipment manufacturers were invited to attend,

Thank you again. Thank you very much.

 

After the die-casting exhibition, one of the pleasures of business trips is dinner.

I went to a restaurant called Bon Marche in Kannai. This restaurant has an open kitchen style.

The interior of the restaurant was quite clean, and the staff moved briskly, which made a good impression.

 

For drinks, we ordered sparkling wine, as the restaurant is primarily wine oriented.

 

We started with hors d'oeuvres, and ordered a variety of other dishes and food, all of which were delicious...lol;.;

The staff at the restaurant was friendly and I liked it so much that I went back two days in a row.

 

After dinner, we walked a little toward Bashamichi and went to "TA-BO'S THEATRE" on Aioi Street (^^;).;

When I told him that I had come from Kyushu, he was quite impressed and was very enthusiastic about the show. I was very satisfied with Tabor's show.

The standard impersonations were excellent, but the behind-the-scenes stories of the industry and the impersonations of home appliances were also great.;

 

The exhibition ended without incident and I returned to Kumamoto. It is a great relief to see Mt. Aso, isn't it?

 

Next month, from April 17 (Wed.) to 19 (Fri.), we will exhibit at the Design and Manufacturing Solutions Expo at Port Messe Nagoya in Nagoya.

If you are interested, please come! See you soon!(^^)/

 

Nico the dog

Hello, I am the webmaster.

Recently, one of our company members decided to get a new Labrador Retriever.

Her name is Nico. Despite her large body, she is a gentle pup.

Our president said, "Steven Seagal's first starring role...

Do any of you know what it is?

I have a cute Shiba Inu-like one at my webmaster's house. He is overprotective.

 

Dogs are soothing to me. They snuggle with you.

We would like to continue to work closely with the various types of craftsmanship in this country.

Best regards

 

Our deepest sympathies to all those affected by the Hokkaido Earthquake in September, 2008

 

 

Due to the massive earthquake centered in the Hokkaido region

We would like to express our deepest sympathies to all those affected by the disaster.

 

This morning's news said that lifelines were completely cut off.

I know you have been placed in a situation where it is difficult to get information.

Please be aware of future aftershocks and evacuate.

 

We wish for the safety of the people in Hokkaido who were affected by the disaster and those who will be engaged in restoration work, and we look forward to your continued support.

We also sincerely pray for the earliest possible recovery of the disaster-stricken areas.

 

 

 

 

Kushitani Coffee Break Meeting

Saturday, April 09, 2016
I went to Kushitani Coffee Break Meeting in San-ai Rest House.

11

12

 

DUCATI also has a tent and vehicles on display next door.

13

 

I arrived at the site around 10:00 AM and was surprised at the number of vehicles.
Since we are in the motorcycle season, there are some vehicles that you don't see every day.

14

15

 

This is the parking lot where we always park.
It's less because of the event in a separate parking lot.
During the holiday season, such as Golden Week, the number of visitors is tremendous.

16

 

I was treated to two cups of coffee, talked to an acquaintance, and was about to leave.
They are still coming in one after another.

17

 

The Yamanami Highway on the way is pleasant.
If you ever come to Kyushu, please enjoy it.

18

 

It seems that there were many mass-tourists today.

This was the Kushitani Coffee Break Meeting in San-ai Rest House.

See you soon.

Enjoy Honda 2016

I went to Enjoy Honda 2016 in HSR Kyushu.

1

 

Kyushu HSR Kyushu is located adjacent to Honda Giken Kumamoto Works in Kumamoto Prefecture, Kumamoto Prefecture.
The general parking lot is located inside the Kumamoto Plant. Cherry blossoms are in full bloom due to the season.

2

 

It was chilly first thing in the morning, but there were quite a few people.

3

 

Cars, motorcycles, and various other items were on display.
A test ride was also held.

4

 

My personal favorites this time are Civic TYPE R for the car and AfricaTwin for the bike.

5

 

The demo run of the HSV010 and RCV213V was a highlight.
The sound of explosions that you don't usually hear.
The cornering of four wheels and the acceleration of two wheels on the rise are of a different dimension.

6

 

RCV213V-S vehicles with sports kit and road machines
You could build a mansion for the combined amount.

7

 

F1 cars old and new

8

 

Variations this time

9

 

Unlike a motor show, it is a friendly place where you can ride, touch, and see the actual cars up close.

The season for exhibitions and test rides has begun, and we encourage everyone to visit. See you soon.

Inside the V125 solenoid valve

This time, I would like to digress from CT business to solve a problem with my address V125G (CF46A), which is very active in daily commuting and shopping.

1

 

Idling became unstable and I thought the insulator was damaged as promised, but when I checked it, there was no damage.
Then I thought it might be a solenoid valve, and when I looked at it, there was no valve rebound.

2

 

I made a 3D model after taking a CT scan to try, but could not get a good image to confirm the spring.
X-rays are not good for heavy metals such as iron and copper, and electromagnetic coils and magnets are not good for them because they are like lumps of metal.
A spring by itself is OK, but a small mass in a large mass is difficult to visualize.

3

 

When performing CT imaging, a test scan is taken for positioning.
The fluoroscopic image accompanies the test shot, so I looked at the image at that time.
I noticed something wrong with the red circle section.

4

 

I disassembled the valve section and found that one coil spring was broken.
This seems to be causing the idling malfunction due to lack of tension.

5

 

So when I was thinking about replacing the springs, I noticed a parts cleaner nozzle.
I put it in the valve and it fits perfectly.

6

 

I cut about 2 mm off and assembled it as a clog substitute for the valve.

7

 

After installation, it has been in use for 2 months with no problems.
Genuine parts cost a little over 4,000 yen. Whether you consider this expensive or inexpensive is up to you.

Try it at your own risk.  See you soon....
