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. ... >>

Low Power Instrumentation Amplifier INA828 25.06.2018

The INA828 is a precision low noise instrumentation amplifier from Texas Instruments with a wide supply voltage range (4,5...36V or +-18V), an extremely low noise level of 7nV/vHz, and low power consumption (650µA (max)).

INA828 is designed specifically for measuring instruments and, thanks to a unique set of metrological characteristics, can be used in signal circuits of high accuracy devices, such as pressure sensors, temperature sensors, electrocardiographs, current and voltage meters with a high accuracy class. Due to its low power consumption, the INA828 can be used in devices with high power consumption requirements (such as wearable measuring and medical devices).

Another interesting feature of the INA828 is the built-in protection in the +-40 V range, which can greatly improve the reliability of the analog channel. The amplifier is stable when operating with a capacitive load up to 1 nF over the entire operating temperature range of -40...125°C and is available in a convenient SOIC 8 package.

Specifications:

Supply voltage: 4,5...36 V or +-18 V;
Offset voltage: 50 µV (max);
Noise density: 7nV/vHz;
Input protection: +-40 V;
CMRR: 110 dBm, (min, K=10);
Current consumption: 650 μA (max);
Working temperature range: -40...125°C.
