Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Why is the mass of a person at the equator approximately 1% less than at the pole?

Since the Earth rotates around its axis, a centrifugal force is manifested on its surface, Directed from the center of the Earth (upwards). At the equator, where the linear speed of the surface is greatest (1670 km/h), it is subtracted from the weight (the force acting on the support), and it is absent at the poles.

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 ... >>

Augmented Reality Headset Glass Enterprise Edition 2 24.05.2019

Google has announced a new version of the augmented reality headset Glass, focused on the business sector. This time we are talking about the official product of the company, and not an experimental device.

The Glass Enterprise Edition 2 headset received a new processor (customized Qualcomm Snapdragon XR1 chip), an improved camera, a USB-C port for faster charging, and a number of other improvements. However, the basic design has not changed significantly. Google notes that thanks to the power of the Snapdragon XR1 processor, the new Glass headset can offer "computer vision and advanced machine learning capabilities."

In collaboration with Smith Optics, the design of the glasses has been strengthened. It also reports the presence of a battery with increased capacity. Glass Enterprise Edition 2 now runs on Android with support for Android Enterprise Mobile Device Management.

Despite a number of significant improvements and improvements, the new version of Google's augmented reality headset is offered at a more affordable price - $999, while the first version was estimated at $1500. Similar to the previous model, the novelty will not be sold directly to consumers, but is intended only for the corporate segment.
