NXP Solar Mobile Phone Solution

27.11.2007

Hi-Tech Wealth (HTW) has selected the Nexperia Cellular System Solution 5110 from NXP Semiconductors for use in the world's first solar-powered mobile phone, the S116.

Designed by Laucent Technology, NXP's system solution delivers exceptionally low power consumption to optimize the solar charging process. As a result, the S116, which went into mass production in July this year, has achieved industry-leading standby and talk times.

The new solar-powered phone allows users to recharge the battery using any light source, even candlelight. This guarantees a longer standby time than any other phone on the market.

The combination of the functionality built into the Laucent design solution and the NXP Nexperia Cellular System Solution 5110 provides the SI 16 also with a wide range of multimedia applications and connectivity with minimal power consumption.

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 ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

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, ... >>

The car will not hit a pedestrian 02.11.2014

Automaker Honda Motor has announced a new active safety system, with which the car will be able to independently avoid collisions with pedestrians and other vehicles. The technology, called Sensing, will first appear in the new version of the Legend business sedan, and will later be available in other models of the Japanese brand.

The presented electronic assistant uses a special radar installed in the radiator grille and serves to recognize pedestrians. Their height can be determined by a camera placed at the top of the windshield.

The system, analyzing the situation in front of the car at a distance of up to 60 meters, can calculate the likelihood of a collision with people walking nearby. The electronics will warn the driver about the danger with a sound and visual signal on the dashboard, and if necessary, slow down the car, stop it completely or make a safe maneuver.

According to the developers, Sensing is able to predict the actions of other road users. In addition, when driving in a traffic jam, the technology will tell the person behind the wheel about an attempt to over-accelerate (the accelerator pedal will vibrate) and notify the need to start moving when the flow has started.

Finally, Sensing has the capabilities of adaptive cruise control, lane keeping systems and traffic sign recognition.

Honda will add Sensing to the facelifted Legend, which will hit the Japanese market in late 2014. Then other cars of the manufacturer will be equipped with the system.
