Industrial fanless PC fits in the palm of your hand

27.10.2010

Miniature industrial computer AMOS-3001-1E10A1 manufactured by VIA Technologies is made in an embedded industrial case and can operate in the temperature range from -20 to 70°C. The computer is absolutely silent, as there are no moving parts in it.

The core of the system is a low-power 1,0 GHz VIA Eden ULV processor with low heat dissipation, which made it possible to abandon the active cooling system (no fans). Instead of a hard drive, an SSD is used. A large number of external interfaces (HDMI, LAN, 4xUSB, 1xRS-232, 1xRS-232/422/485/GPIO) allows the computer to be used in a wide range of applications.

AMOS-3001-1E10A1 comes preinstalled with Windows XP.

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, ... >>

Secret microwave 11.11.2016

The secret X-37 space plane has been performing orbital flights since 2010. Over the past six years, information about it has not increased, although the US Air Force has already launched four “Test Orbital Vehicles” (Orbital Test Vehicle) from the X-37B series, with the last one launched on 20 May 2015 seems to be flying like that. "It seems to be" because there has not yet been confirmation of the landing, and the scarcely received information suggests the opposite.

According to unnamed sources, one of the experiments currently underway on board the X-37B is testing a microwave space engine with a magnetron and an Emdrive resonator chamber. We wrote several times about this invention that violates the laws of physics.

English engineer Roger Shawyer, who came up with the Emdrive, recently filed a patent for yet another improved version of the engine, and NASA has just published its own test results showing that the device that converts electrical energy into thrust without a propellant actually works, albeit contrary to the law of conservation of momentum. Scheuer himself confirmed in October of this year that the US and British Defense Ministries have long been interested in his invention.

So it is likely that Emdrive flies on the X-37B, especially since, as again unidentified sources indicate, the Chinese space station Tiangong-2, located next door, is also testing the same microwave engine created by Chinese scientists according to image and likeness (and how else) of English.

Researchers from the Northwest Polytechnic Institute in Xian built their version of the engine back in 2008, and in 2012-2014. published a series of articles confirming its performance. True, after that they found out that an error was made in the calculations due to the power cable, and their equipment was not sensitive enough to determine the developed traction. (As mentioned above, NASA specialists did this this year).
