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 ... >>

Tank robots instead of firefighters 16.10.2012

In the United States, the first robot firefighters will be deployed in a few months. Howe and Howe Technologies' small Thermite "robotanks" will replace a man with a hose.

The Thermite robot has a remote control and can get close to the flame. The robot is equipped with a hose and is connected by a hose to a water tank or a pump that pumps water directly from a reservoir. The purpose of using the robot is obvious: feel yourself in the place of a firefighter, who, for example, needs to approach a flaming tank with 20 tons of gasoline at a distance of 10 m.

Thermite is primarily intended for extreme fires such as fuel fires or chemical and nuclear spills. Thermite is transported on a special Bulldog RS-1 truck, which is equipped with a robot loading / unloading system and a water tank with a capacity of almost 3800 liters.

Howe and Howe Technologies interested American firefighters not only in Thermite, capable of ejecting up to 2200 liters of water per minute, but also in the Guardian robot with a manipulator, as well as the Terra Maxa robot, equipped with a bulldozer blade.

As for the financial effect, the acquisition of robots for firefighters will be a very profitable business. In the United States, fire trucks must have very specific high performance, such as a very strong cab that can withstand the fall of heavy objects. Because of this, fire trucks are assembled by hand and cost $800 per unit. One set of a Bulldog RS-1 truck and Thermite and Guardian robots costs $400, and the "robo-team" is superior in capabilities to standard fire equipment. In addition, thanks to the use of robots, the risk to people, and hence insurance payments, is significantly reduced.
