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. ... >>

More smart meters 06.09.2013

The number of smart meters installed worldwide in distribution network automation systems will grow from about 10 to 143,2 million units. for 2013-2020

Integrating Distribution Automation (DA) applications with Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) will increase the return on investment in smart grids. So says a new report from analyst firm Navigant Research entitled "AMI and Distribution Automation Integration."

According to Richelle Elberg, Principal Analyst at Navigant Research, as communication technologies are used in automated AMI networks, utilities are learning and planning how to better integrate AMI and DA systems and solve existing problems. By the end of this decade, AMI/DA systems integration will become the standard for new smart grids, but it will take longer to update the existing base.

The main obstacle to the effective integration of AMI and DA systems is the differences in the characteristics of the used communication networks that are used in the measurement infrastructure systems. This is mainly due to latency and throughput, as well as the lack of specifications for protocols and compatible devices. Analysts at Navigant Research are confident that hardware vendors and standards bodies will overcome many of these barriers to full integration, but that will take time.
