Rocstor Amphibious external drive protects data with encryption

16.01.2012

Rocstor introduced the Amphibious external drive, which stands out from other similar products with the increased attention to data protection shown by the developers.

The aluminum case is equipped with 256-bit AES encryption hardware, and access to data may require a password (keyboard to enter it is built into the drive) and a smart card.

The maximum amount of Amphibious, achieved in the case of modification with HDD, is 1TB. It also provides for the release of modifications based on SSD. To connect to computers, the drive has FireWire800 and USB 2.0 ports.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Electronic helmet for truck drivers 14.04.2024

Road safety, especially for drivers of heavy construction equipment, is a top priority for engineers and scientists. In light of this, the German Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Strength and System Reliability has introduced a new product - an electronic helmet, which is designed to protect drivers from serious injury when driving construction vehicles. A new electronic helmet developed by a team of engineers from the Fraunhofer Institute opens up new perspectives for the safety of truck and construction equipment drivers. The device is capable of monitoring the level of shaking in the car cabin and warning the driver of possible danger. The basis of the helmet's operation is a built-in piezoelectric sensor, which generates electricity during physical deformation. This mechanism allows the device to respond to intense vibrations typical of construction equipment. When the level of deformation exceeds safe values, an alarm system is activated on the helmet, ... >>

Antivitamins instead of antibiotics 13.04.2024

The problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is becoming increasingly serious, posing a threat to the effective treatment of infections. In light of this, researchers are looking for new ways to combat superbugs. One of the promising directions is the use of antivitamins that can have an antibacterial effect. Antivitamins, although known as the opposite of vitamins, have proven to be a promising tool in the fight against bacterial antibiotic resistance. A study conducted by scientists from the University of Göttingen in Germany confirmed their potential in creating new drugs to combat dangerous infections. With the rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs, there is a need to find alternative treatments. Antivitamins are molecules similar to vitamins, but capable of inhibiting bacterial activity without harm to the human body. At the moment, science knows only three antivitamins: rose ... >>

Car tires monitor their wear 23.05.2014

German tire and parts manufacturer Continental AG is developing "smart" tires that will promptly notify the driver of tread wear, pressure drops and other abnormal situations. New products can enter the serial market in a few years.

According to the idea of Continental engineers, a new type of tire will receive an electronic sensor that, using special software while driving, will be able to determine tire wear by changing their deformation characteristics. As soon as the system registers the minimum value for the tread depth (3 mm for summer tires and 4 mm for winter), the driver will receive a warning signal to replace the "bald" tire.

In addition, the sensor can be connected to the car's telematics system, and then the car will automatically contact an authorized service center and notify them of an imminent tire fitting.

The new feature will be part of Continental's TPMS (Tires Pressure Monitoring System) tire pressure monitoring system. The complex will be able to work in tandem with smartphones and display information on the gadget’s screen about the current tire pressure and its required value in accordance with the current vehicle load. The technology will notify the driver of a decrease in pressure and an excess of the permissible load.

Continental promises to introduce its development into production vehicles in 2017. It was previously reported that all passenger cars sold in the EU from November 2014 will be equipped with a tire pressure sensor.

In February 2014, the Finnish company Nokian Tires showed its achievements in the car tire market. She created tires with electronic stud extension, which allows the use of such rubber in various weather conditions.

At the Geneva International Motor Show, tire maker Goodyear Dunlop showed off a concept tire that, using an embedded microchip, transmits pressure, temperature and tire wear data to the vehicle's on-board computer. This information is then used by various safety systems, resulting in improved performance of the stability control system and shorter braking distances during ABS operation.
