Studying the work of digital microcircuits, I assembled a simple, as it seems to me, automatic switch of four LEDs (see figure). It has only two microcircuits and two radio components, not counting the power source.

Automatic - LED switch

On the elements DD1.1 and DD1.2 of the first microcircuit, a pulse generator is assembled, following at a frequency of 3 Hz (if necessary, the frequency is changed by selecting a capacitor). Through the cascade on the PD1.3 element, the pulses are fed to two frequency dividers collected on counting triggers. The LEDs connected between the inputs and outputs of the triggers form a kind of decoder that displays the state of the triggers.

When the device is turned on, the LEDs flash alternately. If the LEDs are arranged in a row with a certain sequence, it is not difficult to achieve the effect of "running lights". By supplementing the device with a switch connecting pin 1 of the DD1.I element with either pin 2 or pin 7, you get the simplest lottery drum. In the first connection option, the LEDs still flash. and in the second one only one of them will burn - it is difficult to guess which one in advance.

In order to really make it impossible to guess which of the LEDs will glow after the generator is stopped by an additional switch, the capacitance of capacitor C1 should be reduced to any value within 1000 pF ... 0,1 μF.

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Lego - the perfect heat insulator 21.12.2019

Researchers at Lancaster University concluded that Lego bricks and similar parts made of ABS plastic (acronitrile butadiene styrene) and air-filled cavities are a strong thermal insulator at cryogenic temperatures.

The scientists were convinced that the structures created from the popular constructor provide better thermal insulation than the known materials for bulk insulators, and at the same time are significantly cheaper than the materials currently used - Macor glass or Vespel plastic. Experiments have confirmed that thermal insulation is provided by the very structure of the cubes and the minimum contact area between separate elements.

The authors of the paper emphasized that they do not expect a big difference in the performance of parts made of ABS and other types of plastics. The results of the study can be used in various fields, and in particular in the creation of quantum computers and reducing their cost.
