Comments on the article

The person providing assistance must know the signs of a violation of a person’s life and be able to provide first aid to the victim.

First aid the victim of the current is:

in releasing it from the action of electric current;
in determining the degree of damage;
in carrying out a sequence of measures to save the victim, maintaining his vital functions;
in calling a medical worker or delivering the victim to a medical institution.

Release of the victim from the action of electric current can be carried out either by turning off the current, or by separating the victim from current-carrying parts, or by separating the victim from the ground.

Power outage can be produced:

the nearest switch;
removing fuses;
disconnection of the plug connector;
cutting or biting the wires with a tool, taking into account the voltage present in them.

If the victim is at a height, then measures must be taken to prevent him from falling when the current is turned off. With artificial lighting, you need to be prepared for the lack of lighting when the current is turned off.

Separation of the victim from current-carrying parts can be done by discarding the wire from the victim or pulling the victim away from the wire.

The wire can be discarded with any object made of non-conductive material, with a hand in a dielectric glove or with a wrapped cloth.

Pulling the victim can be done by his dry clothes, and if this is not possible, then the releaser pulls the victim away with his hands, protected from electric current.

You can separate the victim from the ground by pulling his legs with an insulated object or clothing and placing an insulating object under his feet.

The degree of damage and the sequence of measures to save the victim is determined by the state of consciousness, the color of the skin and lips, the nature of breathing and pulse.

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. ... >>

Canon EOS C200 professional camcorder 10.06.2017

Canon has expanded its lineup of professional camcorders with the EOS C200. According to the developers, this is the first camera to support a new kind of RAW format - Cinema RAW Light. This file format offers the same color grading flexibility as Cinema RAW, but at a smaller file size.

Equipped with dual DIGIC DV200 processors, the Canon EOS C6 can record 4K video at up to 50 fps or Full HD movies without cropping at a maximum image refresh rate of 120 fps. The camera is based on an 8,85-megapixel Super-35 CMOS sensor, complemented by Dual Pixel CMOS AF autofocus system with focus selection function on the touch screen. It also supports 15 stops of dynamic range in Cinema RAW Light and 13 stops of MP4.

The manufacturer notes the relatively low weight of the camera (1,4 kg) and the convenient shape of the body, adapted for long-term handheld shooting. In addition, the Canon EOS C200 can be mounted on a drone or a gyro stabilizer. Thanks to the built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet modules, the shooting process can be remotely controlled via a browser, and the finished material can be sent via FTP.
