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 ... >>

| Random news from the Archive Jawbone UP electronic bracelet keeps track of your health
18.07.2013
Jawbone introduced the UP electronic wristband that tracks sleep, movement, nutrition, providing the user with up-to-date information via a smartphone to make informed decisions to improve well-being and mood.
The durable flexible design of the bracelet has a moisture-proof hypoallergenic polymer coating that creates a feeling of softness, under which there are system logic, an accelerometer, a battery with a charge of 10 days of operation, a vibration motor. A nylon cap on one of the edges hides a 3,5mm audio jack, which is used to charge and synchronize with a mobile device. The bracelet has only one button to switch between sleep and wake modes and two sensors that display the current state.
Based on years of research and innovation in the biomechanics of natural human movement, MotionX's patented technology tracks distance travelled, steps taken, calories burned, active and inactive time. In the sleep mode, micro-movements are recorded to determine the total rest time, the duration of falling asleep, light and deep sleep, and the number of awakenings. The alarm goes off at the best time to wake up in the natural sleep cycle and alerts the user with a silent vibration.
The device stores data for the last nine months. After using UP for some time, the device starts to offer recommendations based on the accumulated data. The user can independently mark his mood on the main screen of the application so that the program tries to analyze the reasons for its change. For those most concerned about their health, a nutrition tracking system is offered, requiring the user to enter data on consumed products in various ways.
To make your health journey more fun, Jawbone has built a competitive edge into the iOS and Android app with social features to keep track of your friends' progress. Of course, there is the possibility of filtering published data. UP interacts with many popular medical and fitness programs.
The Jawbone UP bracelet is available in eight different shades (so far only onyx and bright blue are available) and three sizes with an inner diameter from 141 to 180 mm and a weight of 19-23 g. The recommended cost is 6000 rubles.
