Wearable Personal Cinema Sony Wireless Neckband Speaker

09.10.2021

Sony has released a device called the Wireless Neckband Speaker, which they themselves called the wearable personal cinema.

The Wireless Neckband Speaker (SRS-NS7) is a speaker system that is worn around the neck. The device supports Sony 360 Spatial Sound Personalizer.

There are a pair of regular 33mm drivers and a pair of passive drivers. The total power is 6 watts. Connection with devices is carried out using Bluetooth 5.0.

The device can be used to watch movies, listen to any other content, make voice calls and so on.

The body of the novelty is protected from moisture in accordance with the degree of IPX4. The lower part is covered with a soft rubber layer, and the upper part is covered with fabric. Autonomy is declared equal to 12 hours, there is a fast charge (10 minutes is enough for 1 hour of work). The dimensions of the Wireless Neckband Speaker are 244 x 53 x 185 mm and weigh 319 g. SBC, AAC and LDAC formats are supported.

The price of Wireless Neckband Speaker is $300. Also on sale is the $7 WLA-NS60 transmitter, which is needed to provide 3D audio support for the Sony 360 Spatial Sound Personalizer.

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 ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Alternate Reality for Scouts 28.03.2013

The American Intelligence Community Research Agency (IARPA) has announced a competition to develop a game that represents an alternate reality. The project, called UAREHERE, according to the scouts, "may provide opportunities for high-quality social, behavioral and psychological research in a setting close to the real thing." In other words, the game will create the most realistic interactive version of the real environment, which will provide the best conditions for the study of human psychology and social behavior.

Alternate reality games are plots (possibly fantasy) played out in the real world, that is, using the existing environment as "settings". To achieve any goal that is not always clear to the players, real phone numbers, transport, the Internet, search for keys, meetings with strangers and acquaintances, etc. are used. Moreover, the player often does not know which item or event is random, and which is a mere coincidence.

The plot of such a game is thought up by a group of people, but the participants often have an unpredictable influence on the plot, which forms new storylines. One of the most popular games of this kind was The Beast, created for the "promotion" of Steven Spielberg's film "Artificial Intelligence". About 3 million people from different parts of the world took part in this game.

For scouts, such games are of particular interest, since they allow not only to study the behavior of people, but also to develop new, more effective methods of work. Due to the fact that the game is played in a real everyday environment, the number of conventions is minimized. At the same time, the goals of the game are unknown to ordinary players, which plays into the hands of the scouts-organizers. Playing in an alternate reality can become a valuable tool for conducting the largest social and highly specialized research.
