Advanced Technology Exhibition Hall@TEPIA / POWER ASSIST HAND
The Advanced Technology Exhibition Hall @ TEPIA was established by Association for Technological Excellence Promoting Innovative Advances (TEPIA) in 1989. It is a venue in which visitors can learn about a variety of advanced technologies that are the pride of Japan. They can also learn about the role plastics play in these technologies. (For more information, see the February 2011 issue of the PR magazine pla-topia.) http://tepia.jp/exhibition/index.html
POWER ASSIST HAND
An assist hand for rehabilitation for people that have paralyzed hands and feet. A soft plastic bellows is positioned immediately above the joint. Because care and rehabilitation equipment such as power assist hands are always in contact with the user, soft plastic materials are often adopted so that the user does not feel discomfort when in contact.
