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.

RadiForce RX350 Professional Monitor 29.11.2015

EIZO is famous for its high quality monitors, including general purpose monitors. But what makes it unique is other products - specialized display solutions for medicine, research, industry and other areas. For these areas, the company often announces unique monitor models that have no analogues in the world - what is the FlexScan EV2730Q model with a 1:1 aspect ratio and a resolution of 1920 x 1920. The new model, RadiForce RX350, is also very interesting.

First of all, it is curious that in the era of the dominance of the 16:9 format, it has an "outdated" and "unpopular" aspect ratio of 4:3. And more precisely - 3:4, since the default mode of this monitor is portrait. The diagonal of the IPS matrix is 21,3 inches, and the resolution is 1536 x 2048; it was this maximum resolution that the best CRT-based monitors could boast of in their time. The maximum brightness of the RX350 inspires respect as it is 1000 cd/m2; however, for calibration it is recommended to set the mode to 500 cd/m2. The contrast level is also high - 1500 to 1, which is higher than typical indicators for IPS matrices.

The response time is 25 milliseconds, but this model is not intended for games. Its main purpose is medicine, or rather, viewing high-resolution x-rays, computer and MRI tomograms, including synthesized three-dimensional ones. Since we are talking about human health, and even life, maximum display accuracy is extremely important here, so RadiForce RX350 has full support for 10-bit color and is equipped with tools to achieve maximum image clarity (Sharpness Recovery). There are two versions of the screen coating, anti-glare (Anti-Glare coating) and minimizing the mirror effect (Anti-Reflection coating).

The novelty can work in chain mode, as it is equipped with a DisplayPort pass-through interface. Curiously, the official list of compatible graphics cards mainly includes professional AMD models supplied to customers under the EIZO MED-X brand. As for other characteristics of the RadiForce RX350, it is equipped with an ergonomic stand that allows you to turn it into landscape mode, but the standard VESA 100 x 100 mount is also supported. With the stand, the monitor weighs 8,1 kilograms, the maximum power consumption is 89 watts.
