Traffic light for colorblind people

21.08.2012

On one of the streets of the Japanese city of Fukuoka, the first traffic light has been installed for color-blind people who cannot distinguish red from yellow.

The new traffic lights are made up of LEDs. A cross of blue LEDs is inserted into the red lamp, for ordinary drivers it is almost invisible. But color blind people clearly distinguish it as a white cross on a yellow background. Until now, they had to guess the meaning of the fire only by its position on the traffic light panel.

Panasonic Secure SDHC UHS-I and SDXC UHS-I Memory Cards
21.08.2012
The Japanese company Panasonic announced the release of two new lines of memory cards in the home market - SDAB and SDUB. The first series included three SDHC UHS-I cards of 8, 16 and 32 GB, the second series also included three SDHC UHS-I cards of 8, 16 and 32 GB and one SDXC UHS-I card of 64 GB.

A characteristic feature of all memory cards is increased resistance to negative environmental factors. So, the products are protected from water penetration (withstand a half-hour stay at a depth of one meter), electromagnetic effects, X-rays, low and high temperatures (operating range - from -13 to +85 ° C) and, of course, falls.

Representatives of the SDAB series are characterized by read and write speeds of 95 and 80 MB / s, respectively, read and write speeds of models of the SDUB line - 90 and 45 MB, respectively.

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 ... >>

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, ... >>

Energy-efficient LTE modem with speeds up to 450 Mbps 06.12.2014

Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) today announced the release of the Qualcomm Gobi 9x45 360th generation multi-mode LTE modem and the 3100nd generation Qualcomm RFXNUMX Envelope Tracker QFEXNUMX energy tracker.

Both products are designed to provide high speed data download from the network, fast application performance, as well as improve the energy efficiency of the device and optimize energy consumption. New products are currently being tested by Qualcomm partners, and deliveries to the market are scheduled for 2015.

In addition to general improvements that optimize power consumption and PCB space, the 9x45 modem is the first Category 10 solution to support carrier aggregation worldwide, providing up to 450 Mbps downlink and up to 100 Mbps uplink. c, aggregating the frequencies of the TDD and FDD spectrum.

The modem is based on the second generation 20nm process technology and provides aggregation of up to three frequencies in the 60 MHz band on the downlink and up to two frequencies in the 40 MHz band on the uplink. The 9x45 modem integrates all major cellular standards including DC-HSPA, EVDO, CDMA 1x, GSM and TD-SCDMA, supports all major RF bands and their combinations, and provides geolocation in GPS, Beidou, GLONASS and Galileo systems.
