Title: Kotaro Yasui: Innovator in Carbon-Metal Structures and Recombinant Baculovirus
Introduction
Kotaro Yasui is a prominent inventor based in Tokyo, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the fields of materials science and biotechnology, holding three patents that showcase his innovative spirit and technical expertise.
Latest Patents
Yasui's latest patents include a carbon-metal structure and a method for manufacturing this structure. This invention involves a carbon nanotube (CNT) device that features a CNT layer on a metal pedestal. The metal pedestal is brazed to the CNT layer with a brazing material layer interposed between them. The manufacturing process begins with forming the CNT layer on a heat-resistant textured substrate. Following this, the metal pedestal is brazed to the CNT layer, and then both are peeled off the substrate to transfer the CNT layer to the metal pedestal. Another notable patent involves a recombinant baculovirus, which integrates cDNA encoding the E protein derived from the Japanese encephalitis virus into the genome of Baculovirus. This recombinant baculovirus is used to infect insect cells, such as Sf9 cells, to express the E protein, which is valuable for vaccines and diagnostics.
Career Highlights
