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. ... >>

DC/DC Boost LED Drivers Mean Well LDH-25/65 31.03.2021

Mean Well has expanded its popular LDH DC/DC boost LED driver family with two new lower and higher power series, LDH-25 and LDH-65, respectively. The features of the new series are the universal input (9,5...32 V) and the ability to work from the input voltage of both 12 and 24 V with an increase in the output voltage to the appropriate level. In these series there is no special division into separate 12V and 24V versions, as in the LDH-45.

Structurally, the drivers are available in two different versions: for mounting on a printed circuit board (DIP package) and for bulk mounting (with wires; suffix "W" in the name). All models have a control input and are smoothly dimmed by a 0...10 V signal, PWM in the range of 10-100%, and the dimming signal maintains the full extinction of the LEDs (off). Models of the LDH-25 series are manufactured with output currents of 250/350/500/700mA, while models of the LDH-65 series are available with 700/1050/1400/1750mA.

The new series have a high efficiency and are applicable for the manufacture of economical LED lamps powered by autonomous current sources (batteries, solar panels), including for transport.
