Stream Technology Corporation

【AEA 2017 Alumni】
Stream Technology Corporation was founded at Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Japan as a startup from University of Tsukuba since 2015. The president of the company, Shinichi Yamagiwa, is also teaching at the university as an associate professor in the computer science course. He has transferred his innovative outcomes to the company and has been challenging to the market. The owning major technologies are an AI framework for human movement analysis and a stream-based lossless data compression technology.
The AI framework, called “Skill Grouping”, provides numerical comparing method to applications that require to know difference of a comparing movement data from a movement BigData. The BigData consists of a large number of time-line sensing data sets acquired by any kinds of sensors or videos. The recent IoT applications are mainly targeted to the human users. Therefore, Skill Grouping is a key breakthrough to open a new market for IoT applications, which enables to manage skill differences, daily conditioning and also fitting method for suitable tools from just gathering a motion BigData without making any motion models.
On the other hand, the stream-based lossless data compression technology, called LCA-DLT, provides a very fast compression mechanism fully implemented on hardware. The recent IoT devices needs to receive continuous data without any breaks in the data, that is data stream. LCA-DLT compresses/decompresses data stream continuously with nanosecond-order small delay. It is provided by IP core package to LSI vendors.
Stream Technology Corporation is now growing fast by mainly promoting these two breakthrough technologies above, and also by receiving research collaboration contracts for creating innovative technology from large companies.
