Smart vest Carhartt X-1

20.01.2023

Carhartt has launched the Carhartt X-1 Heated Smart Vest. The novelty works in conjunction with artificial intelligence, automatically adjusting the heating. To do this, it takes into account the temperature outside, activity and the type of clothing worn by the user.

The smart vest connects to devices via Bluetooth. You can set up the device through the Clim8 application, where you enter user data (age, gender or sensitivity to cold), what it is currently doing and what it is wearing (sweater, T-shirt, jacket, etc.). Statistics are available here.

The Carhartt X-1 is powered by the supplied battery, the connector for which is located in the left pocket. There is a charge indicator at the bottom of the vest.

The cost of Carhartt X-1 is $220. The sale will start on February 1st.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 60x optical zoom camera 05.08.2013

Panasonic has announced the addition of the DMC-FZ70 to its Lumix range of digital cameras. Equipped with a 20mm to 1200mm equivalent focal length lens, this camera's 60x optical zoom is more than double that of its predecessor, the Lumix DMC-FZ60. The optical scheme of the lens includes 14 elements in 12 groups, among them six are aspherical, and three are made of low dispersion glass. As for the maximum aperture of the lens, it varies from F / 2,8 to F / 5,9.

It goes without saying that with this optical zoom, the camera is equipped with an optical stabilization system that also works when shooting video. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 uses a 1/2,3-inch CMOS image sensor with a resolution of 16,8 MP and a Venus Engine image processor. The camera allows continuous shooting at 9 frames per second in maximum resolution and Full HD video recording at 30 frames per second.

The novelty supports iA intelligent shooting mode, and also allows you to apply 15 different effects to photographs. It also supports saving pictures in RAW format.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 is equipped with a 3-inch display with a resolution of 460 dots, the amount of integrated flash memory of the product is 000 MB. It is supposed to use SD, SDHC or SDXC cards as the main data storage. The camera is equipped with a USB port and a Mini HDMI video output.

Overall dimensions of new items - 130 x 97 x 118 mm, weight - 606 grams. The battery life of the camera, measured according to the CIPA standard, is 400 shots.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 is priced at $399 in the US.
