 Comments on the article

Chips ES4318, ES4408, ES4408FD are the basis for building household DVD players. A high degree of integration, programmable architecture, high quality of signal processing and low cost make it possible to produce devices that meet modern quality requirements.

The microcircuits are based on a high-performance 32-bit RISC processor, which provides decoding and processing of the input data stream from the DVD drive, it also acts as a system controller. The microchip software can be expanded by connecting an external ROM. To process the decoded video signal, the microcircuits use built-in filters and converters that form a high-quality image of a given format. The variety of image recording formats makes this option particularly important (for example, to output a PAL DVD recorded in NTSC).

The output image is formed in a form suitable for use in conjunction with a wide range of PAL and NTSC decoders. Sound signals are fed to the outputs of the microcircuits in two forms - decoded (ready for direct conversion to an analog signal using a DAC) and in the form of a raw digital stream (an audio stream read from a disk). The I2S interface is used to transmit decoded audio information, and the S/PDIF interface is used to transmit the raw audio stream. These microcircuits also implement a wide range of interface functions, which include decoding remote control commands (from an IR receiver) and support for control keyboard functions. The block diagram of connecting ESS DVD-processors of the ES4xx8 series is shown in fig. 1.

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. ... >>

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 ... >>

Film and the composition of the air of the auditorium 26.05.2016

Scientists analyzed air samples from cinema halls that showed films of various genres, and found that the emotional state of the audience can be determined by the composition of the gases exhaled by it.

Feedback also works: you can determine the film by the dynamics of the composition of the atmosphere in the cinema. Scary and funny scenes are best defined, say chemists from the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry and the Gutenberg University of Mainz.

While watching The Hunger Games, according to Jonathan Williams, head of the research team at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, the levels of carbon dioxide and isoprene in the air rose sharply as soon as the heroine began to fight for her life on the screen.

A healthy person exhales carbon dioxide mixed with small amounts of other gases - their number reaches 800. The physiological processes that determine the synthesis and release of these substances have not yet been fully studied.

Initially, researchers dealt with the issue of gases exhaled by humans and their impact on the composition of the planet's atmosphere and the greenhouse effect. The study of the atmosphere over the football stadium during the match did not give interesting results - perhaps because the match ended with a score of 0 - 0. Then the scientists came up with the idea to analyze the air in rooms where people experience strong emotions - for example, in the cinema.
