(AP) - Akira Iga, an executive at Japanese electronics and entertainment company Sony Corp., receives the top award of the Innovator Awards at a Tokyo hotel Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2005. Iga developed a technology, called FeliCa, which uses a tiny integrated computer chip in plastic cards that can communicate as quickly as fractions of a second so that people can simply slap their cards on a panel to gain entry at train station stalls or avoid the hassle of coins at cash registers. The Innovator Awards, now in its fourth year, were started to inspire creativity in a nation historically more famous for conformity than individuality. (AP Photo/Shizuo Kambayashi)
