Schematic diagram of the IR generator is shown in fig. 29.

A multivibrator is assembled on the elements DD1.1, DD1.2, which is excited at a frequency F = 30 ... 35 Hz (F@1/2R2*C1). Differentiating circuit R3C2 and elements DD1.4...DD1.6 form in the base of a normally closed transistor VT1 a current pulse with duration timp@10 µs (timp@R3 * C2), which excites the IR diode VD1 included in its collector. Table 5 shows the dependence of the current amplitude in the IR diode Iimp and the current Iconsumed by the generator on the power supply voltage Upp.

Rice. 30. Generator circuit board

The printed circuit board of the generator is made of double-sided foil fiberglass with a thickness of 1 ... 1,5 mm (Fig. 30). The foil on the side of the parts is used only as a neutral wire - "ground". In the places where the conductors are passed, circles with a diameter of 1,5 ... 2 mm should be etched in it (not shown in the figure), the places of soldering to the null foil of the "grounded" leads of capacitors, resistors, etc. are shown in blackened squares.

As an example, in fig. 31 shows the dependence of the relative radiation power of the AL402 IR diode on the direct pulse current Ipr.i. Their almost linear relationship, and with such a significant afterburner of pulsed currents, which is generally characteristic of IR diodes, makes it possible to focus when calculating the "range" of the system not on the radiation power, but on the easily controlled current in the IR diode.

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

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 ... >>

External flash for smartphones Apple iPhone 26.12.2019

Chinese smartphone accessories manufacturer Anker has announced an LED flash that can be connected to Apple iPhone 11 and 11 Pro smartphones using a Lightning cable. An important feature of the novelty is the Made for iPhone (MFi) certificate.

The iPhone LED Flash works with the standard Apple camera app and third-party camera apps. The manufacturer claims that its flash shines "twice as far and four times brighter" than the built-in flash. One charge of the flash battery lasts approximately 10 shots. For charging, the Lightning connector is used (but not the built-in cable, which only serves to connect to a smartphone). The scope of delivery includes a diffuser for softer illumination. The flash body has a standard quarter-inch tripod mount.

The flash should be available in January for $50.
