Which toy part was used in the first electrocardiograph?

The first version of the design of the electrocardiograph was developed in 1887 by Augustus Waller, an employee of the London hospital, and included a platform from a toy railway. On it was a movable photographic plate on which the cardiogram was recorded. However, due to the weak sensitivity of the electrometer used, Waller's apparatus was not yet suitable for a full-fledged diagnosis.

What creatures are responsible for the color of Bloody Falls in Antarctica?

In Antarctica, Blood Falls emerges from the Taylor Glacier from time to time. The water in it contains ferrous iron, which, when combined with atmospheric air, oxidizes and forms rust. This is what gives the waterfall its blood-red color. However, ferrous iron in water does not occur just like that - it is produced by bacteria living in a reservoir isolated from the outside world deep under the ice. These bacteria have managed to organize a life cycle in the complete absence of sunlight and oxygen. They process the remains of organic matter, and "breathe" ferric iron from the surrounding rocks.

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 ... >>

Service for shared rides on self-driving vehicles 21.10.2019

In 2021, Panasonic plans to launch a ride-sharing service in small towns using small self-driving electric vehicles. This month, the manufacturer has already launched such a service at its headquarters in Osaka Prefecture. It is available to employees working here.

The electric vehicles travel along a route that is about 2,4 km long and takes them about 21 minutes to complete. The maximum speed of the electric vehicle is 20 km/h. The traffic schedule is flexible, determined by the needs of users, but the minimum traffic interval is only 10 minutes. The electric car has four seats.

Panasonic's automated driving system uses high-precision human recognition technology. If necessary, the electric vehicle can be operated manually - remotely or on site.

Panasonic expects such services to be rolled out to theme parks or venues for major events such as the 2025 Osaka World Expo.
