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. ... >>

Getac EX80 Rugged Tablet 11.11.2017

Getac, a company specializing in rugged mobile computers, introduced the EX80 tablet based on the Intel Atom x5-Z8350 processor. According to the manufacturer, this is its first fully rugged tablet specifically designed for use in hazardous areas. The product has passed the relevant ATEX/IECEx (Zone 0) and UL913 (Class I/II Division 1) certifications. In simple terms, this means that the tablet can be used by personnel of oil platforms, petrochemical and military industrial enterprises, and even employees of ammunition depots.

The Getac EX80 is sealed in an anti-static case and features surface temperature control to prevent explosions due to static electricity, heat, or friction.

The eight-inch WXGA touchscreen display (1280 x 800 pixels) is characterized by a brightness of 600 cd/m?, according to the manufacturer, sufficient to see the image on the screen even in bright sunlight. The display supports multiple touch modes for working in the rain, while typing, or when using a hard-tip pen.

The Getac EX80 is equipped with 8 megapixel and Full HD cameras, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless interfaces, and a GPS receiver. One of the features of the EX80 is that it comes with a rotating pen, which provides comfortable operation with the tablet, can serve as a stand for the device and a pen holder. Other accessories are available, including docking stations and shoulder straps.

The tablet is running Windows 10 Professional. It is equipped with a TPM 2.0 module, supports multi-factor authentication using the Windows Login system and a contactless smart card reader (HF RFID). The Absolute DDS feature allows you to remotely lock the system in case of loss or theft.

The battery life, according to the manufacturer, exceeds 8 hours. With dimensions of 240 x 155 x 29 mm, the device weighs 1,48 kg.

Degree of protection of the tablet - IP67. In addition, he passed the MIL-STD810G test, that is, he is not afraid of dust, moisture, salt fog, drops, shock, vibration and temperature extremes. The manufacturer provides a three-year warranty for the EX80 tablet.
