Many have old power supplies of the AT design. The proposed simple revision of the power supply of your computer will allow you to get an ATX block. Similar conversion schemes have already been published and this is one of such schemes.

Converting old AT computer power supplies to ATX

After the alteration, the AT block will contain the main function - the ability to turn off your computer after it has finished working and turn it on, as in the ATX block. The entire alteration of the power supply unit of the AT construct is clearly visible in the figure. All additional elements are installed in the power supply of your computer, and additional connecting wires are soldered and removed from the power supply to the ATX power connector on the motherboard of your computer.

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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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. ... >>

1 million neurons in an IBM chip 14.08.2014

IBM Corporation announced a technological breakthrough in the field of "thinking chips" - chips that work in the likeness of the brain of a living being. The breakthrough lies in the creation of a chip with an unprecedented number of "neurons", which amounted to 1 million, and "synapses" (connections between neurons), which amounted to 256 million.

For comparison, in 2011, IBM developed a chip with 256 "neurons" and 262144 "synapses." The breakthrough, among other things, is based on a multiple increase in the number of cores (up to 4096 pieces).

The new chip not only contains a record number of "neurons", but is also one of the largest CMOS chips ever made. It contains 5,4 billion transistors and is capable of performing 46 billion "synaptic operations" per second, per watt.

The microcircuit differs in record indicators of power consumption. The specific power of the chip is 20 mW/cm2, which is 4 orders of magnitude less than in modern processors. In general, the chip consumes 70 mW, which is also several orders of magnitude less than modern semiconductor components.

"After several years of collaboration with IBM, today we are one step closer to creating a computer that works like our brain," said Rajit Manohar, professor at the Cornell Tech Center at Cornell University in the US, who is involved in the development " Thinking Chip" IBM.

Scientists believe that chips, the principles of which repeat the principles of the human brain, in the face of an increasing amount of data and increasing requirements for computing power in the future, can replace processors with the von Neumann architecture.
