Smart collar

08.01.2022

Invoxia has announced a new smart collar that has the functionality of smartwatches and fitness trackers.

Invoxia has worked with certified veterinary cardiologists to develop neural network-based artificial intelligence that uses miniaturized radar sensors. These radars are perfect as they are able to take readings no matter how furry your dog is.

Another plus is that the collar can sit more loosely around the dog's neck. The same cannot be said for the smartwatches and fitness trackers that people use, which require a tighter fit and good skin contact to get accurate heart rate readings.

The Invoxia collar is different because it combines a traditional GPS tracker with a non-invasive way to monitor vital signs. It is compatible with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS and LTE-M, and comes with escape warnings and a built-in horn.

For now, the Invoxia collar is only for medium to large dogs. This is because it is difficult to miniaturize radar technology to sizes that are comfortable and light enough for smaller breeds.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Gravitational waves could help predict tsunamis 31.12.2017

American seismologists led by Martin Vallee conducted a study of gravitational waves of an earthquake of magnitude 9, which occurred in 2011 in Japan. If the monitoring system relied on data from gravitational oscillation detectors, then it would be possible to understand that an earthquake would be very powerful a few seconds before it began. According to computer models, earthquakes of magnitude less than 8,5 produce no detectable gravitational waves.

Gravity measurements are not taken into account by seismologists, so in 2011 it took 7,9 minutes for American observers to raise the estimate from 8,8 to 40, and three hours for Japanese observers. Even a small increase in the magnitude of an earthquake means a lot of new destruction. And a few seconds of advance can save lives - especially in the case of underwater earthquakes, the most powerful of which entail tsunamis.

Valais and his team started looking at gravitational fluctuations of geological origin in order to evaluate how such fluctuations affect the performance of gravitational wave detectors such as Virgo in Europe and LIGO in the US.

The gravitational waves generated by tectonic shifts are much weaker than those generated by black hole and neutron star mergers; For a long time, the first type of signals was considered too unreliable way to learn about earthquakes. But Vale and his team prove that at a distance of 1-2 thousand kilometers, the difference in the speed of seismic and gravitational waves makes the latter a fairly reliable source of information.
