When setting up the UMZCH, to check its sound by ear, an acoustic system is connected to the amplifier instead of a load equivalent. For these purposes, small control speakers with inexpensive and relatively low-power dynamic heads are often used. To avoid failure of the heads due to overloading the speakers with a strong signal or when a constant voltage appears at the output of the amplifier, you can protect the speakers with self-resetting fuses.

The figure shows a diagram of a control speaker with sensitivity adjustment and such protection.

Control AC overload protection

The speaker sensitivity is regulated by a powerful variable wire resistor R1. The FU1 polymer resettable fuse can be thought of as a thermistor with a high non-linear positive temperature coefficient of resistance. When the speaker is overloaded, the fuse heats up, its resistance increases sharply, and the power supplied to the dynamic head is limited. For the types of fuse and dynamic head shown in the diagram, the residual power supplied to the speaker with a winding resistance of 4 ohms after the fuse is blown will be about 100 mW with a signal power of 25 W supplied to the speakers.

To protect a speaker system with a speaker with a power of 3 ... 8 W, a resettable fuse for a current of 0,25 ... 0.4 A is suitable. In this case, it is desirable to use the most high-voltage types of fuses, for example. MF-R025, MF-R030. LP60-025, LP60-030, LP60-040 (all - for an operating voltage of 60 V and a rated operating current from 0.25 to 0,4 A). Solder the fuse at a distance of at least 10 mm from the case. By placing the fuse in the speaker cabinet. it must be excluded from blowing it with air currents created by the diffuser of the dynamic head, otherwise the fuse will operate at a much higher current. A variable resistor can be used with any wire-wound resistor with a power of 5 W or more.

Since a self-restoring fuse is a non-linear element, it is undesirable to protect acoustic systems intended for regular listening to high-quality phonograms with it, since it will introduce non-linear distortions.

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. ... >>

Destruction of memory chips on command 02.10.2014

This year, manufacturers of a wide variety of electronics have decided that it has become much more important for users to keep their data safe. Several specially protected from "hacker attacks" smartphones have seen the light, more and more USB drives with hardware encryption are appearing.

Secure Drives has gone even further. Her Autothysis128 SSD can physically destroy its memory and controller. What's more, the drive is equipped with a GSM modem and the user can kill and destroy data via a regular message (SMS).

There are other options. In particular, you can configure the drive destruction mode if you try to dismantle it from the PC case, the laptop battery is low, or several incorrect password entries are made. You can also issue a direct command using the special Token module that comes with the Autothysis128t modification (the Autothysis128s modification lacks it).

From a technical point of view, the drives are nothing special. The capacity is 128 GB. The read speed is 127MB/s, the write speed is 120MB/s. Performance reaches 20 IOPS. Of course, AES encryption with a 000-bit key is supported. For connection, SATA 256 Gb / s or Micro USB interfaces are used.

The dimensions of the drive are 100,5 x 70 x 9,5 mm with a weight of 88 g. The cost of solutions is $1550 for the Autothysis128s model and $1650 for the Autothysis128t model. The cost of a subscription to the mobile service is $47 per year (the first year is included in the price).
