Tokyo Boeki, a reliable partner to develop high technologies It is known that reliability can be proved only over time, both in technology and in business. As far as the cooperation with Russian scientific, educational and industrial organisations in the delivery of advanced research and production equipment is concerned, few foreign companies can compete with Tokyo Boeki, which has been working for more than 55 years in the markets of the Soviet Union and Russia. The Japanese company was founded in 1947 in Tokyo and gradually grew into a major corporation that combines 22 subsidiaries with a total staff of over 900 people. Tokyo Boeki offers innovative solutions for education and science, engineering, production of raw materials, energy, metallurgy and other industries. In 2014, net sales exceeded 46 billion yen. The Corporation has been active in the international market with its representative offices in Russia, Australia, USA, China and Thailand. The CEO of Tokyo Boeki (RUS) Keiji Takigawa has told about projects in the Russian market.

Market should turn to innovations Creating the innovative production is a high-risk business. When talking about a completely new product, it is impossible to reliably predict in advance whether it is going to become serial. An entrepreneurial spirit and a certain degree of excitement will be required to engage in this business. Not all businesses can adopt new technologies and especially cultivate the idea of a successful business, so a network of nanocentres for the generation and development of industrial innovation in Russia. Anatoly Kovalev, CEO of the Zelenograd Nanotechnology Centre (ZNTC) told us about the ways of supporting and developing high-tech projects.

Equipment for thin film growth using atomic layer deposition Atomic layer deposition (ALD) was patented in 1974 in Finland by Dr. Tuomo Suntola. Currently many companies are manufacturing equipment that implements the principles of ALD, but technological leadership belongs to the Picosun company, in which T.Suntola is the mastermind and member of the board of directors.

Multichannel analytical x-ray system on the basis of bright microfocus source A structural scheme of a multi-channel X-ray analytical system with a bright microfocus source designed to implement the basic methods of X-ray diagnosis based on a single automated system is proposed. The general requirements to the parameters of the source for integrated measurements using multi-channel X-ray analytical system were developed. The methods of formation of various types of radiation beams based on the focusing and dispersive X-ray optics and the organization of workstations were considered.

ISO is easy! In 2002, the ISO 14577 standard, which regulated the measurement of hardness and other mechanical characteristics by the instrumental indentation method, was adopted by the International Organisation for Standardisation. We should consider the history and prospects of development of this standard as well as the implementation of its techniques.

Electrostatic discharge immunity tests in production of electronics
The widespread use of electronics leads to the necessity of testing various features of hardware. The problem of electrostatic discharges is especially important in the case of uncontrolled environmental conditions during use of the equipment. Hardware can also be exposed to the electromagnetic field, if the discharges occur from personnel to nearby objects.

Calibration of the displacement with nano- and picometer precision One of the problems faced by producers and users of scanning probe and electron microscopes, and other devices for measuring the geometry of objects at the nanoscale is the difficulty in calibration due to the lack of nanoscale standardized measures and gauges. The Russian company Nano-Atto Metria offered an original solution based on the use of piezoelectric crystals (see also the article “Standards for nano- and picometer ranges on the basis of displacement gauges”, Nanoindustry, No.5(59), 2015). The project manager Petr Luskinovich told about this development.
