6. WAYS TO INCREASE WORK EFFICIENCY

The efficiency of a person's labor activity to a large extent depends on the objects and tools of labor, the working capacity of the body, the organization of the workplace, and the hygienic factors of the working environment.

Working capacity - the value of the functional capabilities of the human body, characterized by the quantity and quality of work performed in a certain time. During labor activity, it changes over time. At the same time, they distinguish three main phases successive states of a person in the process of labor activity: the phase of increasing ability; phase of high stable performance; declining phase.

Important elements of labor efficiency improvement are:

1) improvement of skills and abilities as a result of labor training, as this increases muscle strength and endurance, increases the accuracy and speed of working movements, and physiological functions recover faster after work is completed;

2) the correct location and layout of the workplace, ensuring a comfortable posture and freedom of labor movements, the use of equipment that meets the requirements of ergonomics and engineering psychology, which ensures the most efficient work process, reduces fatigue and prevents the risk of occupational diseases.

The optimal posture of a person in the course of work ensures high efficiency and labor productivity, and an incorrect posture leads to static fatigue, a decrease in the quality and speed of work performed, and a decrease in response to danger.

When organizing the production process, it is necessary to take into account anthropometric and psychophysical characteristics of a person, its capabilities in relation to the magnitude of effort, tempo and rhythm of operations performed, as well as anatomical and physiological differences between men and women.

Periodic alternation of work and rest promotes high performance stability. In production, two forms of alternation of work and rest are distinguished: the introduction of a lunch break in the middle of the working day and the introduction of short-term regulated breaks, and the optimal duration of the lunch break is set taking into account the distance from workplaces of sanitary facilities, canteens and food distribution points. The elements of a rational regime of work and rest are industrial gymnastics and a set of measures for psychophysiological unloading.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

TI UCC28070 controller 24.12.2007

Texas Instruments Inc. announced the release of a new UCC28070 two-phase controller with average current control for communication, server and industrial systems with multi-kilowatt power consumption.

It simplifies the power supply design process, improves system reliability, and achieves a power factor greater than 0,9, which improves energy efficiency. The UCC28070 controller helps reduce total harmonic distortion in mains-powered systems 75 W...1 kW and above. It also allows today's systems to make the most of available power from the mains and to accommodate extreme disturbances in AC networks with varying voltage levels.

The UCC28070 helps improve system reliability with a 180° phase sequence method that reduces input and output current fluctuations by 50% to 100% and redistributes magnetic fields to improve heat transfer. The frequency spreading feature of the UCC28070 helps to reduce the capacitance and allows the use of a smaller and less expensive EMI filter.

An over-voltage protection circuit with an open-loop detection function protects the system from damage to the circuit board. In addition, the UCC28070 controller provides undervoltage lockout, step-by-step overcurrent limiting, and system overtemperature protection.

The UCC28070 comes in a 20-pin TSSOP package.
