3min about Toriningen Inc.@Google for Entrepreneurs Week Tokyo 2013Toriningen,Inc.
Toriningen Inc. is a biotech hardware company founded in 2008 by Shingo Hisakawa and his wife Mariko that started as a software company developing web and mobile apps but expanded in 2012 to designing and selling their own biotech hardware internationally, such as a DNA amplifier they made affordable through open sourcing and a patent expiration.
This document lists 10 hacking projects completed by Hisakawa Shingo of the company Torihito Inc. It summarizes each project including building a manpowered airplane that flew over 1300m, developing a cheaper DNA amplifier kit for $400 instead of $4000, and creating an app and website to track satellites using augmented reality that gained over 55,000 and 180,000 users respectively. The final hacking project described was an NFC network controller that can turn devices on and off remotely just by touching them over the internet.
The document lists several Asian cities including Tokyo, Singapore, Jakarta, and Hong Kong. It also mentions MakerFaire events in Shenzhen and mentions two PCR-related products called OpenPCR and NinjaPCR. The document provides a brief listing of Asian locations and PCR products without additional context or details.
Getting Started with Hardware Factory&Store @ Make Conference Tokyo 2012Toriningen,Inc.
This document provides instructions for getting started with hardware development and manufacturing without many resources. It introduces the "Harpy", the author's smallest and cheapest open Android development kit. The document then outlines 10 steps for designing, manufacturing, and selling the Harpy board, including reading open schematics, modifying designs, ordering PCBs, sourcing parts, soldering, using laser cutters and tip mounters at a local FabLab, creating a website to sell boards, and packing and shipping orders. The overall goal is to provide a low-cost pathway into hardware development and manufacturing.
How to build your own Android devices @ Google Developer Day 2012Toriningen,Inc.
This document discusses three ways to connect custom hardware devices to Android devices using Bluetooth, ADK Host Mode, or ADK Accessory Mode. It provides examples of the author's own projects connecting a laser tracker and an Arduino board with an NFC reader. The author encourages learning skills like soldering, using tools like Arduino, Eagle, and FushionPCB to design custom circuit boards ordered from online suppliers.
