Too many functions will distract the driver. This is overkill.

Soap costs money. Actually one may find soap in some vending machines, which also sell toilet paper. Conveniently located in the toilets hand-wash rooms.

Actually, Ferric hexacyanoferrate (Prussian blue) was used in Japanese paintings long ago. Maybe by calling it by another name, one can find it in Japan, too.

And NEAT is involved in helping from the early stage on:

For example, the NEAT group helps with detection and analysis of radiation, they provide telephone counseling, and they organize the tours, where local residents can return by bus for 2 hours to their homes to retrieve important personal items.
See for example:

Nuclear disaster operation robot ''JAEA-3'' is shown to reporters at the Nuclear Emergency Assistance & Training Center in Hitachinaka, Ibaraki Prefecture, on June 21, 2011. The remote-controlled robot will be used to measure radiation levels at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in Fukushima Prefecture. (Kyodo)

Borscht: You are completely right. Additionally this Coco-cola campaign is in direct opposition by many local Japanese governments to promote their tap water.

Such a group exists, and it is already dispatched. The name is NEAT and the training site is located in Hitachi-naka.

And there, MARVEL claims:
in-band noise floor is -108 dBc/Hz

You can find the abstract of Toshiba at:

But the information is not more than in the JT article.

Let me give you a conservative answer:
In order to measure the given -104dBc/Hz, one needs a measurement instrument, for example a spectrum analyzer, where the combination of local oscillator and mixer has a better phase noise than the system to be measured. In other words, inside such spectrum analyzers (for example from Agilent, Tektronix or Rhode and Schwarz) there needs to be a local oscillator or synthesizer with higher quality. And yes, these companies put a lot of effort in it.
Standard analyzer models obtain also in the order of 100dBc/Hz, while top models achieve in the order of 130dBc/Hz.
The point for Toshiba is, that they were able to put their effort into a small chip, which will give performance at low cost.
The real problem behind this, is the ever more shrinking of the structures to be put on silicon, which results in building blocks, which had performed well, when the chip structures were larger, now needing a re-design.
A remember very well the nice features of GaAs based chips for high frequency applications. But they are not cost competitive for the mass market, which is supplied by silicon based devices.

Reducing phase noise is basically a question of effort. Lets put it another way: finally Toshiba has improved his circuits, which were before lacking performance compared to competitors.

As mentioned before, workers in public positions (like researchers) have to deal with the idea of the government to CUT the salary by up to 10 percent. Then for the summer bonus it will be a cut of 12.5 percent compared to last year. Never mind, also last year there was a bonus cut and also the winter bonus had been already cut 3 times in a row.

Dear Smorkian,
thanks for your link. The text you are referring to is written in a much better way, than the article here in JT.
It seems the JT author had some miss-understanding of several wave phenomena. Probably JT should cut out the word "glowing" in the headline. If the topic is gravitational waves, then the wave itself does not glow. The only thing that might happen is that the already existing glow of the plasma in the upper stratosphere or ionosphere is intensity modulated by the gravity wave, and yes, this can be observed.

While living and working in Germany, I regularly donated blood, but in Japan it is not possible for me, because there had been some cows with BSE in Germany, and additionally I was once for a one week business trip to London.
Well, also some Japanese cattle has BSE, therefore the only explanation for me is that there is good BSE (Japanese cattle) and bad BSE (all other). And then this is extended to blood donation for humans.
