The Products and Technologies Creating a Sustainable Future

PARASAFE® (“PARASAFE”) is an emergency parachute system for industrial-use drones. When a drone seems set to fall due to unforeseen circumstances, the PARASAFE system launches a parachute to slow the drone’s descent and reduce the shock when it impacts the ground. The Nippon Kayaku Group is a global supplier of explosives and gas generators for automotive airbags, and PARASAFE makes use of the same technology for its highly-reliable automotive safety components. In short, use of PARASAFE makes it possible to fly drones more safely and securely.

• Drones that crash and sink into the sea are connected to marine pollution. This can be prevented, however, in the form of a PARASAFE Floating Parachute System, which integrates floating functions with reduced crash-impact functions.
• There are cases in which drones that crash into mountains may cause forest fires due to batteries or devices igniting. The use of PARASAFE, however, can prevent even those situations from occurring.
• Deployment of PARASAFE on a crashing drone can reduce damage to the drone body and, consequently, waste.
• Accelerating the popularization of PARASAFE-installed drones across society will lead to improved green energy usage rates, as energy-saving flying objects gradually replace the CO2-emitting vehicles currently used for logistics and transportation.

The practical application of drones will render it possible to finish all kinds of tasks in short periods of time, triggering hopes of a yet more convenient society. But however reliable drone flights may become, the risks in the unlikely event of a fall cannot be overlooked.

• When an accident occurs during drone-related business, the installation of PARASAFE will reduce the impact of collision damage not only on the drone itself but on people, buildings and automobiles positioned on the ground, thereby reducing the credit risks associated with compensation and criminal punishments.
• Popularizing PARASAFE-installed drones throughout society will aid efforts to deliver stable supplies of daily necessities and pharmaceutical drugs to depopulated areas.
• Popularizing PARASAFE-installed drones throughout society will increase the possibilites for inspections in areas difficult for humans to enter, thereby helping to improve safety and reduce costs.

Demand for security screening equipment is increasing due to recent upsurges in terrorist attacks and illegal immigration, expanded use for border and airport security solutions, and increased incidences of drug smuggling.

The use of the Mox140G significantly reduces illegal financing, and the trafficking of drugs and weapons, thereby helping eradicate all forms of organized crime, including terrorism.

Interest is currently growing in the safety of everyday community, including matters such as the regulation of environmental pollutants (heavy metals, etc.) Devices to be used at scrap sites for scrap sorting (for the purpose of mineral recycling) and soil testing must have good portability (lightness) and enable rapid completion of inspections.

XRF is commonly applied in the analysis of petroleum and other fuels, plastics, rubber and textiles, pharmaceuticals, food products, cosmetics and body care products, fertilizers, geological materials, mining samples, slag, cement, heat-resistant materials, and glass. It is further used in the monitoring of contaminated solid waste, wastewater, cleaning fluids, pools and filters, and can also be used for sorting materials such as minerals with high speed and accuracy. From benchtop to hand-held types, a different detector can be selected according to the environment. XRF is widely used at various facilities, both indoors and outdoors, including research labs.

The launching of X-rays at an object causes X-rays with energies peculiar to the object in question to bounce back, thereby allowing the X-ray detector to analyze that object’s elemental composition. This method of elemental analysis can be used for all basic states of matter (solids, liquids and gases), and is one of the techniques used in everyday analysis.

Through rapid elemental analysis can we analyze the environment in which we live and contribute to a more livable global environment. XRF will fulfil the function of sorting greater numbers of materials in lesser amounts of time. For the sake of securing an environment which is kind to Planet Earth, MOXTEK will strive for yet higher-performance parts.

The deadliest forms of extreme-weather-related natural disasters are increasing. One key reason seems to be the progression of global warming stemming from the continual increase in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases pumped into the atmosphere through the consumption of fossil fuels such as oil and coal. Against this backdrop are we required to develop new energy sources which do not emit greenhouse gases. Hydrogen, which emits no carbon dioxide even when burned, has been gathering attention as a clean energy source, and expectations abound that it can be stably supplied for use in automobile fuel cells and power generators.

As a clean energy source with zero carbon dioxide emissions during combustion, hydrogen can contribute significantly to the fight against global warming. It can also be produced and procured from a variety of resources, thereby contributing to diversified energy supply lines and overall energy security.
