Drilling is safer with a compass. Tips for the home master

Builder, home master

If it is necessary to drill a through hole in the wall, and the length of the drill is not enough, then this operation can be performed in two steps: on one side and on the other side of the wall. Having drilled a hole at the intended point, place a magnet or a metal rod in it. Then use the compass to find the drilling point on the opposite side of the wall.

The use of a magnet is preferable, as it will prevent the compass needle from erroneously pointing at the wall reinforcement.

Drilling is more reliable with a compass

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 ... >>

VESA VDC-M compression standard 17.05.2018

VESA has introduced Display Compression-M (VDC-M) - a new compression standard for interfaces for connecting built-in displays of mobile devices, including smartphones.

Developed in collaboration with MIPI, it provides higher compression (up to 5:1) than the VESA Display Stream Compression (DSC) standard, which provides compression up to 3:1. At the same time, "no visible loss of quality" is maintained. The payoff for increasing the compression ratio is the complication of the scheme. VDC-M is the third in a family that also includes DSC 1.1 introduced in 2014 and DSC 1.2 published in 2017.

The need for a new codec is caused by an increase in the resolution of displays. The association hopes that VDC-M will find the same wide application as its predecessors. MIPI is already planning to include VDC-M in a future specification for mobile displays.
