These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The Company's products were adopted as major components of D-Egg because they meet requirements for high pressure of approximately 70 MPa, low radioactivity and high transmittance in the ultraviolet range. The products are based on technology developed through the deep-sea exploration equipment project "Edokko No. 1."
