HSH3003-0406 Hybrid Drying and Firing Furnace Design

     This new hybrid furnace was design especially for the firing and drying of nano-sized titanium oxide particles in DSSC to fit the needs of smaller scale research and development. It can operate in temperatures varying from room temperature up to 650°C from which it acts as a dryer below 200°C and functions as a firing furnace at higher temperatures. It also comes equipped with an industrial computer system in order to switch between drying and firing modes. Its compact size optimizes its minimal space requirements as well increases cost efficiency in order to please any budget. In addition, its unique technology has customizable options in order to fit precise needs.

      This hybrid, produced exclusively by Torrey Hills Technologies, has been manufactured in the hopes that innovative researchers are not limited by potentially restricted resources, whether it be space or money. Various universities and research companies worldwide have already taken advantage of what this furnace can offer.

     Torrey Hills technology strongly supports research in DSSC applications in order to promote a greener way of life encompassing more efficient, as well as affordable, eco-friendly practices.

Kyocera's Kazuo Inamori Takes Over Japan Airlines

     Last month, the highly esteemed entrepreneur Kazuo Inamori was asked by the Japanese government to take over the position of Chief Executive of Japan Airlines and save it from potential bankruptcy as well as threatening buy outs from other companies.

     Inamori was born on Januray 30, 1932 in Kagoshima, Japan. By 1955, he had graduated from Kagoshima University with a Bachelors of Science degree in applied chemistry. By the age of 27, he had already set up Kyoto Ceramics Co., Ltd, the company that later became known as Kyocera. 
     In addition be being a successful business man, Inamori is also well known for his generous philanthropic efforts. In 1984, he set up the non-profit Inamori Foundation that offers the Kyoto Prize, a distinguished prize that honors significant contributors in the fields of Basic Science, Advanced Technology, and Arts and Philosophy.

     By the time he retired from Kyocera in 1997, Inamori was ordained as a Zen Buddhist priest in the Rinzaishu sect of the Myoshinji lineage. He was given the title of “Daiwa” meaning “great harmony”.

     Although he is 77 years old and retired, he is still very active and holds many posts outside of his company as well as running Seiwajyuku, a prestigious private management school. Overall, we wish Kazuo Inamori good luck on this magnanimous endeavor he has undertaken and hope for his continued success in all of his ventures.
