Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Allen-Bradley CompactLogix 1769 programmable controller 22.10.2020

The Allen-Bradley CompactLogix 1769 Series controller is a compact, feature-rich, low-cost system for distributed control of today's I/O, communication, and control devices.

The 1769-L35E programmable controller in this series has the following features:

RSLogix 5000 software;
built-in communication ports for communication over EtherNet/IP networks and an RS-232 serial port for system or user protocols;
1769-SDN communication interface module for controlling I/O devices and configuring remote devices over a DeviceNet network;
built-in serial port;
compact I/O modules for panel or DIN rail mounting;
1,5 MB built-in memory, which provides support for up to eight tasks;
the number of supported local I/O modules is 30.

Consider the following when designing a CompactLogix system:

The CompactLogix controller is always the leftmost module in the system.
A maximum of three I/O groups and two expansion cables can be used with each controller.
Each I/O group requires a separate power supply.
Only one controller can be used per CompactLogix system.
End caps must be installed around the edges of the communication bus: 1769-ECR on the right and 1769-ECL on the left.
Applications for the 1769-L35E programmable controller include pollution category 2 industrial environments, category II overvoltage installations (according to IEC 60664-1) at altitudes up to 2000 m without derating, etc.
