How does a Rentokil mousetrap work without any bait?

The British company Rentokil released a mousetrap without bait, but with two small holes in the type of entrance to the hole. The principle of operation of the device lies in the natural curiosity of mice. After the animal runs into this trap, the door is blocked, and carbon dioxide is supplied from the canister, which kills the mouse.

Why did the female pharaoh Hatshepsut wear a beard?

The Egyptian pharaohs were considered the earthly incarnation of the god Horus and could only be male. When the female pharaoh Hatshepsut ascended the throne, for the legitimacy of her power, a legend was invented, according to which the god Amon himself descended to earth in order to conceive his daughter in the guise of Thutmose I. However, at official ceremonies, Hatshepsut was still forced to wear men's clothing and a fake beard.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controller Renesas R9A02G011 15.04.2016

Renesas Electronics announced the release of the USB Power Delivery (PD) controller, designated R9A02G011. This controller, which replaced the uPD720250 model, complies with the USB PD 3.0 specification. According to the manufacturer, R9A02G011 can be used not only in smartphones and PCs, but also in other cases where DC power is needed, such as computer peripherals, robots, power adapters, projectors and other consumer electronics devices.

Recall that the USB Power Delivery 3.0 specification provides for the ability to supply power up to 100 W via USB by increasing the voltage to 20 V and the current to 5 A. For comparison, the capabilities of the original USB version were limited to a power of 7,5 W (5 V, 1,5 .3.0 A). This allowed us to significantly expand the scope of USB in terms of powering devices and charging batteries. By using an off-the-shelf controller that complies with the USB PD XNUMX specification, developers can reduce device design costs and speed it up.

The R9A02G011's flash memory, oscillator, power-on initialization circuits, and other blocks reduce the number of external components and reduce the size of the printed circuit board. The R9A02G011 chip is available in a 32-pin QFN package. In addition to the controller itself, the manufacturer plans to offer reference samples of solutions based on it.

Evaluation samples of R9A02G011 are now available. Serial production should begin in May. The planned output is 1 million pieces per month.
