To whom did 2010 Britons sell their souls in 7?

On April 1, 2010, the British online video game retailer GameStation added a clause to the user agreement, which customers must read before making a payment, that the customer also gives their soul to the store for perpetuity. As a result, 7 people, or 500% of the total number of users, agreed with this paragraph. It showed how easily the vast majority of users who don't read such documents can legally agree to the craziest seller's demand.

Can dogs diagnose cancer early and how?

Dogs can diagnose various forms of cancer at an early stage. Japanese scientists proved this by training a female Labrador for this purpose. Despite the fact that the task was complicated by the presence of benign tumors or diseases of the intestine in some of the tested patients, the dog was 95% successful in detecting cancer from breath samples and 98% from stool samples. This confirmed the hypothesis of doctors that cancer changes the smell of the body, although it is not yet clear which chemical compounds are responsible for this. Having identified them, it will be possible to create an "electronic nose" for diagnosing this disease, since the use of dogs, although effective, is ultimately very expensive.

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 ... >>

MAX14851 - universal 6-channel 600V digital isolator 01.04.2019

The MAX14851 is a new six-channel digital isolator from Maxim Integrated with two channels operating in full duplex mode and isolating up to 600V.

With six independent channels, two of which can carry information in both directions, the MAX14851 can be used to create full-duplex multi-channel isolated bridges for data exchange at speeds up to 50 Mbps using popular I2C, SPI, RS-232, RS- 485/RS-422, SMBus, PMBus. Independent primary and secondary side power supply at 3...5,5V additionally allows the MAX14851 to be used for signal level matching.

Features of MAX14851:

isolation 600 V(RMS) 60 seconds;
working isolation 200 V(RMS);
4 unidirectional channels (up to 50 Mbps);
2 bidirectional channels (up to 2 Mbps);
short circuit protection on unidirectional outputs.

Interface Compatibility:

I2C;
SPI
RS-232, RS-485/RS-422;
SMBus, PMBus.

The MAX14851 is housed in a compact 16-pin QSOP package (3,9 x 4,94 mm). Operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.
