Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Texas Instruments has released new buck converters with up to 60 V input and up to 2.5 A output for the LM76002 and up to 3.5 A for the LM76003.

With a wide input voltage range, it is possible to simplify input protection circuits for 24V applications in industrial and automotive systems. Switching frequency adjustable over a wide range (350...2200 kHz) allows you to optimize the device either in terms of power loss or in terms of the space occupied by the solution on the board. The ICs have a large pad on the bottom of the package, which is designed to absorb power losses, which ensures excellent thermal behavior.

The presence of special grooves inside the pins of the microcircuit improves the quality of the solder joint and provides 100% visual control of the assembly process.

Technical specifications:

input voltage range: 3,5...60 V (maximum 65 V);
output voltage from 1,0 V to 95% of Vin;
rated output current: up to 2,5 A (LM76002) and up to 3,5 A (LM76003);
frequency is adjusted in the range: 350...2200 kHz;
low self-consumption current: 15 μA;
maximum efficiency reaches 97%;
configurable soft start (6,3ms by default);
the presence of a Power-Good output;
the ability to select the operating mode with forced PWM (FPWM);
high efficiency at low load (Light-Load Architecture mode);
operating temperature range -40...150°С;
case WQFN-30 size 4x6 mm;
there are versions of microcircuits with automotive qualifications.

Typical applications:

automotive electronics;
telecommunication equipment;
CCTV;
software logic controllers;
power supply systems from tires 24/48 Volt.
