University of Electro-Communications publishes the March 2021 issue of UEC e-Bulletin
The March 2021 issue of the UEC e-Bulletin includes an informative video of UEC Associate Professor Yuichi Sei, describing his Web Internet of Things for analyzing data while protecting privacy.
The research highlights are, 'A candidate excitonic insulator under pressure,' Kazuyuki Matsubayashi; and 'Improving the counting capability of Internet-of-Things systems,' Yuichi Sei.
The News and Events features the Ambassador of the Republic of Rwanda to Japan, H.E. Mr. Rwamucyo visits UEC on 17 February 2021.
Research Highlights
Solid state physics A candidate excitonic insulator under pressure
Insulators, by definition, do not conduct electrical current (in theory), and have a high electrical resistivity. Still, physicists distinguish between various types of insulators, differing in how the insulating states come about. The most common insulators are materials in which electrons cannot flow freely; too much energy would be required to ‘unbind’ them. Other types include Anderson insulators, in which electrons are ‘stuck’ because of quantum interference effects, and topological insulators, which are actually conducting at their surface. But one type of insulator, the so-called excitonic insulator, is particularly special — because it has never been unambiguously observed.
Machine learning Improving the counting capability of Internet-of-Things systems
Devices being able to automatically recognize objects, animals or people are becoming more and more widespread. Such automatic recognition usually involves sensors or cameras that are part of an Internet of Things (IoT) system, which connects to a neural network. Examining and classifying an object is then done based on machine-learning techniques.

Web Internet of Things for analyzing data while protecting privacy
Notably, currently although such is data is protected it is also being provided to third parties after processing protection. So, there are increasing risks of leaks in privacy data.

Innovative outlook for treating lazy eyes Integrating polarized spectacles and smart tablets offers promising long term treatment for children’s amblyopia
Amblyopia also known as “lazy eye” is an eye disorder that results in poor vision of one eye. It is prevalent in children and young adults with 3% of newborn babies affected across all races. The most common treatment is covering the healthy eye with a “patch” and thereby forcing the other affected one to work harder to improve neurological connections with the brain.
