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. ... >>

1600W chargers with 19" rack version 31.12.2016

Mean Well has developed two series of power supplies (RPB-1600 and RCB-1600) adapted for high capacity battery charging of lead-acid and lithium-ion (Li-Ion) electrochemical systems.

In terms of basic parameters and capabilities, both series are similar, and the differences lie in the method of installation / installation and in the maximum number of blocks connected in parallel. All units of both series have the same 1U (41 mm) chassis height.

The RPB-1600 series is manufactured in a "regular" version with the ability to connect up to 3 pcs in parallel (up to 4800 W), and the RCB-1600 series is installed in a 19" Rack with the possibility of connecting up to 5 pcs in parallel in one module (up to 8000 W). The RCB-1600 series contains built-in OR-ing transistors, which allow hot-plugging of individual blocks in the system.

Power supplies have a built-in I2C control interface (PMBus protocol) and allow you to set the required voltage and current values over a wide range. The devices provide a 3-stage battery charging mode with constant current/voltage with values changing according to a certain algorithm.

To install the RCB-1600 series in a rack, there are special baskets/chassis RHP-1UI-A and RHP-1UT-A with the necessary connectors and differing in the method of connecting the 230 V network (via IEC320-C14 connectors or via a screw connection).

Power supplies are designed for use in various emergency power systems (telecommunications, data centers), for charging batteries in electric vehicles, for electrolysis systems and other applications where a stable controlled current of increased value is required.
