6.5.10. When lighting buildings from substations and networks located outside these buildings, a control device must be installed on each input device to the building.

6.5.11. When four or more group shields are supplied from one line with the number of groups of 6 or more at the input to each shield, it is recommended to install a control device.

6.5.12. In rooms with zones with different natural lighting conditions and different modes of operation, separate control of zone lighting should be provided.

6.5.13. Switches of luminaires installed in rooms with unfavorable environmental conditions are recommended to be moved to adjacent rooms with better environmental conditions.

Switches for lighting fixtures for showers and locker rooms with them, hot shops for canteens should be installed outside these premises.

6.5.14. In long rooms with several entrances visited by service personnel (for example, cable, heating, water tunnels), it is recommended to provide for lighting control from each entrance or part of the entrances.

6.5.15. In rooms with four or more working lighting fixtures that do not have safety lighting and evacuation lighting, it is recommended to distribute the fixtures into at least two independently controllable groups.

6.5.16. Security lighting and evacuation lighting can be controlled: directly from the premises; from group shields; from distribution points; from input distribution devices; from switchgears of substations; centrally from lighting control points using a centralized control system, while the control devices should be available only to maintenance personnel.

6.5.17. The control of long-term artificial ultraviolet irradiation installations should be provided independent of the control of the general lighting of the premises.

6.5.18. Local lighting luminaires must be controlled by individual switches that are a structural part of the luminaire or located in the stationary part of the electrical wiring. At voltages up to 50 V, it is allowed to use socket outlets to control luminaires.

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 ... >>

XYZprinting Nobel 3A and da Vinci 1.0 Pro 1.0-in-3 1D printers 24.12.2016

XYZprinting, a 3D printer company, has unveiled two new models: the Nobel 1.0A and the da Vinci 1.0 Pro 3-in-1. According to the manufacturer, they are aimed at professionals, providing improved print detail.

The Nobel 1.0A uses stereolithography (SLA) technology, which is the curing of a liquid photopolymer with ultraviolet light. This printer is an evolution of the Nobel 1.0 model. It significantly - from 300 to 130 microns - increased the accuracy of laser positioning. According to the manufacturer, Nobel 1.0A is well suited for the manufacture of complex objects with small details. It is faster than its predecessor, has a resin level sensor and a 2,6" monochrome display. In addition, the range of application of Nobel 1.0A is expanded by supporting more materials.

The da Vinci Pro 1.0 Pro 3-in-1 uses Fused Deposition Method (FDM) and features a built-in 3D scanner. In other words, the da Vinci Pro 1.0 Pro 3-in-1 is a 3D MFP. By the way, the possibilities of da Vinci Pro 3 Pro 3-in-3 are not limited to 1.0D scanning, 3D printing and 1D copying. The device can also act as an engraving machine capable of transferring images onto paper, wood, plastic or cardboard using an optional laser head.

Working area dimensions - 20 x 20 cm. Printers are equipped with Wi-Fi support.
