We give descriptions of the methods mirror repair.

1 method. To correct the damaged and erased part of the specular aiming of the old mirror, it is necessary to clean off the entire damaged part. The surface thus exposed is carefully cleaned, wiped with a soft cloth and polished until a perfectly clean surface is obtained. Next, a sheet of tin foil is applied and, if possible, evenly pressed against the glass. The mirror is placed in a horizontal position in the bath and a thin layer of mercury is poured onto the foil. After some time, mercury is drained.

This method is simple and cheap, but sometimes a colored border appears around the corrected area, which is not possible to remove.\

2 method more complex, but not requiring special adaptations, is as follows.

The cleaned part of the damaged mirror pickup is thoroughly wiped with a soft cloth, lightly rubbing it over the glass. The glass must be completely clean, without the slightest trace of dust and grease, otherwise a border may form around the damaged area. Next, a mirror pickup in the form of a patch is cut with a knife along the edge of a piece of another mirror, slightly larger than the surface to be corrected. A drop of mercury is poured onto this incised tip (mercury is taken from the calculation: for every square centimeter a drop the size of a pinhead). Mercury immediately spreads, separating the induced pickup from the glass. Then, very carefully, this pickup is shifted to the part to be corrected so that it covers the exposed part of the mirror. Then the tip is pressed tightly against the glass and left in this position until the pointed part firmly adheres to the glass.

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 ... >>

Strontium On-The-Go USB Flash Drives for Mobile Devices 22.12.2013

Strontium Technology, which deals with a variety of storage devices (from flash drives to SSDs), has introduced a new product called Strontium On-The-Go USB.

This model is designed for use in conjunction with mobile devices (tablets, smartphones). There is a standard USB connector on one end of the drive, and a micro-USB connector on the opposite end.

The Strontium On-The-Go USB Drive connects to a micro-USB connector and can temporarily expand the built-in flash memory of a mobile device or copy important files.

According to Vivian Singh, CEO and President of Strontium Technology, the new device is the smallest OTG drive on the market and will be especially useful for those users whose mobile devices do not have a microSD slot.

The Strontium On-The-Go USB drive will be available in multiple sizes from 8GB to 64GB and will be backed by a five-year warranty.
