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. ... >>

Toshiba Medium Voltage Photo Switch for Industrial Applications 06.05.2018

Toshiba Electronics Europe has introduced a new SO6 compact 4-pin light relay for factory automation and other industrial applications, including semiconductor test equipment, security systems and building automation.

The new TLP176AM photo relay uses MOSFETs manufactured using the most advanced U-MOS IX manufacturing process. The rated on-state voltage (VON) of the output contacts is 60V and the continuous on-state current (ION) is 0,7A with a pulsed current rating of up to 2,1A. value), the new device has better ESD resistance than the current TLP3,75AM. The new photocell is directly compatible with the old TLP172A in both features and mounting dimensions.

Because the TLP176AM has a normally open output, it can be used to replace mechanical relays with one normally open contact (1-Form-A). Replacing mechanical relays with photoelectric relays increases the reliability of systems and reduces the space required to house the relays and their drivers. With an operating temperature range of -40 to 110°C, the TLP176AM can be used in industrial applications and makes it easy to provide thermal design headroom at the system level.

The new photo relay has low switching times: 3 ms (tON, on time) and 0,5 ms (tOFF, off time). The insulation voltage is 3750 Vrms. The device is available in a compact 6-pin SO4 package and is fully UL1577 certified for safety critical applications.
