Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

SONY Unveils DVD Burner with Internet Access 23.04.2003

Sony has introduced a new digital recorder equipped with a DVD drive and 80 GB hard drive called the NDR-XR1.

This device differs from its counterparts in that it can connect to the Internet via a broadband channel. In addition, the NDR-XR1 is equipped with a built-in browser that allows the user to browse the web using a TV connected to this unit.

It's not so easy to find a suitable name for the NDR-XR1, the set of functions that this device has is extremely large. It allows you to record TV programs on the built-in hard drive, a signal from a camcorder via the DV input, as well as images from Memory Stick media. Of course, all this can then be rewritten to DVD discs. In addition to being able to read DVD-R/RW, DVD Video and many CD formats, the NDR-XR1 can burn DVD-R/RW discs. Through the Internet, the NDR-XR1 can connect to special servers containing TV programs, making it easy to automatically program it to record specific TV broadcasts.

In addition, the user will be able to control the NDR-XR1 via the Internet using his mobile phone, which must also have access to the Network. In general, this device can do almost everything related to playing and recording video and TV programs.

Perhaps its only drawback is its high price, which is about $1200.
