The technical research association “NMEMS Technology Research Organization” is bringing together universities and companies that have been working on developing compact atomic clocks in Japan centered around AIST, which creates high-precision frequencies that control the standard time of the world. Analysis and prototyping will be used to examine the size and power consumption of atomic clocks that show accurate time for installation on sensor terminals, and review the appropriate pricing.   　　　 Research and Development Project: Research and Development of Road Infrastructure Monitoring System (RIMS)(FY2014 - FY2018) Of Japan’s social infrastructures, road infrastructure comprises 92.3% (245.1 billion ton-kilometers) of land freight transportation volume (265.5 billion ton-kilometers). Targeting this road infrastructure, which supports the enriched everyday living of people in Japan, a Road Infrastructure Monitoring System (RIMS) will be developed initially for expressways, to be expanded in future to general roads, based on the roads’ degree of impact on the general public’s everyday living and the status of their maintenance systems. Research and development will continue for 5 years starting from 2014 by creating a user participation type research system with the cooperation of industry, government, and academia by bringing together manufacturers of sensor devices/systems/packaging, AIST, universities, and highway companies. 　   [Conceptual Diagram of Road Infrastructural Monitoring System (RIMS)]   　　　　 Research and Development Project: Development of Utility Infrastructure Core Monitoring System (UCoMS)(FY2014 - FY2018) The association gives support for joint research and technical guidance to the research and development promoted by the external research consortium for the following lifeline core monitoring systems. Micromachine Center, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Meisei Electric Co., Ltd., Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. and Takasago Thermal Industry Co., Ltd. formed a research consortium to carry out the R&D project “Development of Utility Infrastructure Core Monitoring System (UCoMS)” for 5 years starting from 2014 for contributing to the preservation of urban infrastructure of lifeline systems that support urban functions. 　     [Conceptual Diagram of Utility Infrastructure Core Monitoring System (UCoMS)]  　 　　　 Research and Development Project: A Study on High Efficiency MEMS Micro Energy Harvesters for Trillion Sensor Society (MEH) (FY2015 - FY2016) An industry and academia collaborative research body was set up in the NMEMS Technology Research Organization, and the "A Study on High Efficiency MEMS Micro Energy Harvesters for Trillion Sensor Society project" was implemented for 2 years starting from 2015 under NEDO commissioned projects “Energy and Environment New Technology Leadership Program”. 　The aim of this leading research is to realize an ultrahigh efficiency vibration type environmental power generation element (renewable energy) essential for the next generation trillion sensor society by introducing new design and fabrication method using MEMS and micromachine technology to design, fabrication, and establish evaluation technology of 10 mW class environmental power generation element that rapidly increases the power generation efficiency by more than two digits magnitude compared to previous value using an area of a one yen coin size of about 20 mm diameter. 　　The leading research ended on the last day of March 2017. [Conceptual Diagram of High Efficiency MEMS Micro Energy Harvesters]   　 Research and Development Project: Leading Research of Continuous Monitoring System to Solve Social Problems (SSS) (FY2013) 18 companies and research institutions participated and implemented one of the Japanese government and NEDO projects, “Leading Research of Continuous Monitoring System to Solve Social Problems” in 2013. Specifically, leading research will be conducted to realize a sensor system for solving various issues faced by the society such as “Aging of social and industrial infrastructure due to deterioration”, “Sudden obstacles due to earthquake disasters”, “Implementation of more safe and reliable agriculture and animal husbandry”, “Move to a more competitive industry in response to free trade such as TPP”, and “Rising medical expenses in a society with decreasing birth-rate and aging population”. 　The leading research ended on the last day of March 2014. 　   Research and Development Project: Green Sensor Network System Technology Development Project (GSN) (FY2011-FY2014) One of the Research and Development Projects of Japanese government and NEDO, “Green Sensor Network System Technology Development Project (GSN)” was conducted for 4 years from 2011 to 2014 with the participation of 20 companies and research institutions, and an innovative, practical, compact, and inexpensive green sensors were developed and using the sensors a network system was constructed. Research and development, and verification will be conducted for reducing energy consumption that will enable measuring environment, understanding (Visualization) and controlling (Optimization) of energy consumption. 　　This project ended on the last day of March 2015.
