What are the actual names of flowers that are commonly considered mimosas?

Known to many, mimosa flowers, which are often given to women on March 8, are actually called differently - silver acacia. The real mimosa is not yellow, but lilac. The confusion arose because she and silver acacia belong to the same subfamily of mimosa.

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 ... >>

New 75V StrongIRFET transistors from IR with ultra-low RDSon 17.12.2014

International Rectifier's StrongIRFETT series of industrial ultra-low channel resistance transistors has expanded its operating voltage range with a new 75V family in addition to the earlier 40V and 60V families.

The main application segments of this series of MOSFETs are industrial systems such as: power tools, electric cars and other electrically driven industrial vehicles, battery protection systems, hot plug devices and synchronous rectifier output stages in high power switching power supplies.

The new 75V StrongIRFETT family of transistors features ultra-low on-resistance to improve the efficiency of systems operating in the low frequency range, provide high operating and surge currents, contain a built-in anti-parallel diode with a soft recovery characteristic and have a 3V turn-on threshold, which improves their resistance to external interference. Each manufactured transistor is tested at the highest levels of avalanche current capability, which allows the manufacturer to guarantee the maximum reliability of this series MOSFET for industrial applications.

StrongIRFETT transistors are available in standard lead-out and surface mount packages. The use of high-tech packages, such as D2-Pak-7 (TO-263-7), allows you to achieve an open transistor impedance of less than 2 mΩ and provides a peak operating current of up to 240 A. All transistors in the series have an extended chip operating temperature range: from -55 to +175°С.
