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 ... >>

Robot eagle 25.09.2013

Giving drones the shape of birds is a promising direction. Flying at an altitude of several hundred meters, Shepherd-MIL is indistinguishable from a living bird soaring in the air. This attracts less attention of onlookers, and for terrorists and enemy soldiers it is an additional factor of psychological pressure: even today, the inhabitants of Afghanistan and Pakistan see an unmanned threat in every large bird.

Shepherd-MIL is currently being tested by the Spanish Army. Negotiations are also underway to sell the drone to foreign customers.

The Shepherd-MIL UAV, developed by the Spanish company EXPAL, is a small, hand-launched UAV. Currently, such small drones are the most widespread type of UAVs and are used in various armies of the world in the amount of thousands of units.

Shepherd-MIL has a number of features that distinguish it from popular UAVs like the RQ-11 Raven. Of course, first of all, this is design: the device imitates the appearance of a desert eagle, which is able to soar for hours over flat terrain, looking for prey. To give the appearance of a bird, the developers did not have to resort to complex tricks - only paint and a special film are used. The machine itself is very cheap, costing only around £1000, and fits easily into two small briefcase-like bags. Thanks to camouflage and a low-noise electric motor that can be switched off during planning, the Eagle UAV can descend to a height of up to 100 m without the risk of exposure. Conventional UAVs have to stay at an altitude of more than 1000 m, and even higher with good visibility and clear skies.

The drone is equipped with an autopilot, a communication system that can be replaced by a payload in the form of a thermal imager or video camera. First of all, the UAV is designed for reconnaissance and automatic target designation for mortar crews.
