What code was set to launch US nuclear missiles in the 1960s and 70s?

In 1960, the United States began production of ground-based intercontinental nuclear ballistic missiles Minuteman. They had a mechanism for protection against accidental launch - using a digital display, the operator had to enter a code. However, the command ordered to install on all such missiles - and their number eventually reached 1000 - the same code 00000000 (eight zeros in a row). This approach was supposed to ensure a quick response at the outbreak of a nuclear war. Only in 1977 did the command take into account the threat of nuclear terrorism and decided to change the easy code, known to all officers, to an individual one for each missile.

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 ... >>

AUO to release 4,3-inch AMOLED panels 05.08.2012

AU Optronics (AUO) President Paul Peng has announced plans for mass production of 4,3-inch AMOLED panels. According to him, the production of products was supposed to begin in the second quarter of this year, however, due to some delays, it had to be postponed until the third quarter.

According to Mr. Penh, the development of new technologies and the development process are not the only challenges faced in the production of panels. An important factor is close cooperation with suppliers of materials and players in the final market.

The products in question will have a density of up to 257 ppi (with a diagonal of 4,3 inches, this corresponds to a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels), which is a record for AMOLED panels to date. AUO engineers are working to integrate in-cell touch technology into AMOLED panels to make displays thinner and lighter, as well as achieve higher sensitivity.

Another direction of development is the one glass solution (OGS) technology, the essence of which is to combine the elements of the display and the outer glass together, which also makes it possible to reduce the thickness of devices. In addition to smartphones, the technology will find application in ultrabooks and tablets, but their share will be only 2-3%.
