What are reactive streams?

Today we often hear the word "jet", and you think that the concept of "jet streams" in this case is associated with jet aircraft. But this is absolutely not true!

Jet streams are part of the wind system around the Earth, so let's start with the concept of "wind". Winds are currents of air moving parallel to the surface of the earth and at a short distance from it.

The movement of winds is mainly due to the presence of areas with different pressures, so winds blow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.

On a global (rather than local) scale, we can say that, in general, cold air moves from the poles to the equator, and warm air moves from the equator to the poles. These are not uniform flows, but turbulent jets of air. Different conditions affect the weather in each area. The local heat source can influence the pressure value. The direction of the wind in the area is influenced by the location of the land, water surface, mountains.

And finally, in some areas there are areas where there is almost constant high pressure. These areas are called "anticyclones", and they determine the direction of the winds in a given region.

So, you can imagine in general why the wind blows and what affects it. But all this refers to the winds that blow in the lower layers of the atmosphere. As you know, around the Earth there is an atmosphere that extends to an altitude of 2800 km. In the upper atmosphere, there are other wind conditions. The winds here blow at a higher speed than at the surface of the Earth. At an altitude of about 9 km, the wind speed reaches such a value that it is called "jet stream". The speed of such a flow reaches 200-400 km per hour.

Why doesn't Spielberg come to film the last scenes of the films he directs?

Steven Spielberg didn't show up to the director's chair when the final scene of Jaws where the shark explodes was being filmed - he was sure the crew had conspired and were planning to throw him into the water after the "cut" command. Since then, Spielberg has made it a tradition not to show up for the final scene of every movie he directs.

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 ... >>

Miniature 868MHz radio module with built-in antenna 31.03.2016

STMicroelectronics has released a miniature 868 MHz radio module for creating "Internet of Things" devices. The radio module is based on the SPIRIT1 transceiver and contains a built-in antenna. The module can be connected to any microcontroller with an SPI interface and completely saves the developer from wiring high-frequency circuits. The advantage of the module is its miniature size 13,4 x 11,5 x 2,0 mm and technical parameters guaranteed by a well-known manufacturer.

The module fully complies with the requirements of the State Committee for Radio Frequencies of the Russian Federation and the rules of the Customs Union in terms of radiation power and compliance with the allowed frequency grid of the 868 MHz band. The convenient format of the module board with edge contacts with a pitch of 1,27 mm allows the use of both automated and manual soldering during installation. The SPSGRF-868 can be used in energy meters, industrial and home automation, security systems and wireless sensor networks.

The ready-made SPIRIT1 Library greatly simplifies the creation of a custom application. The sample operations, sample applications, and resources available in the SPIRIT1 SDK make it easy for even the most inexperienced RF engineer to create their own wireless application. Source texts and data formats have a simple and transparent structure, which is important when mastering a new area for a developer. To quickly start development, you can also use the X-NUCLEO-IDS01A4 debug board, which is built on the basis of this module.

Features of SPSGRF-868:

Programmable parameters of the radio path
Based on SPIRIT1 Sub-1GHz radio
Modulation: 2-FSK, GFSK, MSK, GMSK, OOk, ASK
Data rate from 1 to 500 kbps
Different package formats
