This device is intended for use in the hallway of the apartment to automatically turn off the light 30 ... 90 seconds after it is turned on with the SB1 (bell) or SB2 (inside the apartment) button. This time is enough to undress.
Scheme, fig. 1, consists of a thyristor VS1, which will be in the open state for the time that the capacitor C1 is charging. The SB2 button can be installed next to the S1 light switch already in the apartment (the switch is convenient to use if you need light for a long time, for example, when cleaning up). The SB1 button is located outside the door and is a bell. When you click on it, the bell will ring and the light in the hallway will turn on for the time interval set during the setup, which will allow you to approach the door in the light.
When the machine circuit is operating in lighting mode, the EL1 lamp will glow half-heartedly, since it operates on one half-wave of the mains voltage, but this is quite enough for lighting, and you can increase the brightness by increasing the power of the light bulb.
If desired, the circuit can be easily supplemented with another button - SB3 (connected in parallel with the SB2 button), which will be connected to the door and turn on the light when it is opened. The device could also find other uses, such as turning on a light in a basement. In this case, the SB1 button and the bell are not needed, and the lighting operation time can be increased by using a larger capacitor C1 (a capacitor of the K50-29 type for 300 V is used in the circuit) or by choosing a resistor R2. For stable operation of the circuit, the leakage current at the capacitor must be minimal.
It is convenient to use any two-section light switch as an SB2 button, modifying one section to use it as a button. To do this, porous rubber is placed under the moving contact, which will not allow one section of the switch to be in a fixed state after pressing it. The existing call button can be modified by adding another contact to it, but if you have a relay with an operating voltage of 220 V, you can get by with one group of contacts. In this case, the relay turns on in parallel with the bell and, when it is triggered, its contacts (working instead of the second group of button contacts) discharge C1.
The topology of the printed circuit board and the arrangement of elements on it is shown in Fig.2.
Compared to other published devices of a similar purpose, this circuit has smaller dimensions, does not contain scarce parts, and is easier to manufacture and connect.

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 ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Liquid graphene transistor for implantation
22.02.2013
Scientists and engineers from the German Technische Universitat Munchen have developed a new type of liquid gate graphene transistor that opens up great possibilities in the implantation of electronic devices. Electrodes based on this technology can be safely implanted in the eyes, ears, spine and brain. This will allow us to treat degenerative diseases, repair failed organs, and even improve our senses, giving us "superhuman" abilities.
Today, despite numerous tests of electronic devices implanted in the human body, many problems remain in this promising area. One of the main ones is the hard silicon basis of modern electronics, which does not fit well with soft living tissues. As a result, even a slight displacement of silicon implants leads to the formation of scar tissue. In addition, the aggressive environment inside the human body quickly disables electronics.
German researchers believe that graphene is an ideal material for implantable electronics and demonstrate its biocompatibility. Graphene is a flexible and stable carbon sheet only one atom thick. In addition, the Germans demonstrated the possibility of creating graphene transistors that use natural biological fluids that surround implants as the main part (gate).
A new type of closed field effect transistor (SGFET) consists of a graphene base and a liquid electrolyte. The high mobility of charge carriers in graphene, which is enhanced at the graphene/electrolyte interface, makes it possible to create implantable devices that are far superior to all modern analogues.
Currently, scientists are testing the interaction of graphene with various cells, in particular retinal ganglion cells. Preliminary results show excellent biocompatibility.
