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. ... >>

Lattice Semiconductor Embedded Vision Board 15.05.2017

Lattice Semiconductor has introduced a developer kit called the Embedded Vision Development Kit. It is said to be the first of its kind embedded vision developer kit optimized for mobile applications. The manufacturer calls the characteristic features of the set flexibility, low cost and low power consumption.

Flexibility is provided by a modular architecture that includes Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), Standard Application Arrays (ASSPs), and Programmable Standard Application Arrays (pASSPs).

The manufacturer also considers the small size and support for two cameras to be the advantages of the kit. MIPI CSI-2 cameras are located on the CrossLink input board, which is connected to the ECP5 base board. The latter performs signal processing by the IP core of the image signal processor developed by Helion Vision. In addition, the ECP5 supports input from external image sources. Finally, the third board, a Sil1136-based output board, adds an HDMI output to the system configuration.

The Embedded Vision Development Kit can be used to build systems for industrial, automotive and consumer applications, Lattice says. In particular, the list of applications includes robots, drones, driver assistance systems, augmented and virtual reality devices. The kits are already available for order.
