Institute For Laser Science
The Institute for Laser Science is a department of the University of Electro Communications, located near Tokyo, Japan. History and achievements Established in 1980, the Institute specializes mainly in improving the performance of gas lasers, especially excimer lasers. Between 1990 and 2005, the Institute developed fiber disk lasers, disk laser (active mirror) and the concept of power scaling. Ultra-low loss mirror was developed aiming application for high power lasers (1995). Since 2000, its main research directions have been in the areas of solid state lasers, fiber lasers and ceramics. Since then, the Institute has carried out experiments with quantum reflection of cold excited neon atoms from silicon surfaces. The institute has also performed the first experiments with quantum reflection of cold atoms from Si surface and, in particular, ridged mirrors for cold atoms and the interpretation as Zeno effect. In 2004, the Institute developed the first microchip atomi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Masahiro Mori (roboticist)
is a Japanese roboticist noted for his pioneering work in the fields of robotics and automation, his research achievements in humans' emotional responses to non-human entities, as well as for his views on religion. The ASIMO robot was designed by one of Masahiro's students. In 1970, Mori published "Bukimi No Tani" (不気味の谷 ''The Uncanny Valley'') in ''Energy''. The article forwarded the hypothesis that as robots become more humanlike, they appear more familiar until a point is reached at which subtle imperfections of appearance make them look eerie. The observation led Mori to the belief that robot builders should not attempt to make their creations overly lifelike in appearance and motion. In 1974, Mori published ''The Buddha in the Robot: a Robot Engineer's Thoughts on Science and Religion'' in which he discussed the metaphysical implications of robotics. In the book, he wrote "I believe robots have the buddha-nature within them--that is, the potential for attaining ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kano Model
The Kano model is a theory for product development and customer satisfaction developed in the 1980s by Professor Noriaki Kano, which classifies customer preferences into five categories. Categories These categories have been translated into English using various names (delighters/exciters, satisfiers, dissatisfiers, etc.), but all refer to the original articles written by Kano. ; Must-be Quality : Simply stated, these are the requirements that the customers expect and are taken for granted. When done well, customers are just neutral, but when done poorly, customers are very dissatisfied. Kano originally called these “Must-be’s” because they are the requirements that must be included and are the price of entry into a market. : Examples: In a hotel, providing a clean room is a basic necessity. In a call center, greeting customers is a basic necessity. ; ; One-dimensional Quality : These attributes result in satisfaction when fulfilled and dissatisfaction when not ful ...
