Smartphone opens the car

09.01.2013

Many motorists have not yet had time to appreciate the benefits of contactless keys, and Hyundai intends to "cancel" them too. The new generation of cars from this South Korean manufacturer will identify its owner by smartphone. To do this, the latter must support the NFC near-field wireless communication protocol, and the machine is equipped with a special system, the prototype of which is called the Connectivity Concept.

To unlock the car doors, it is enough to bring the smartphone to a special mark applied to the glass, and to start the engine, you need to put it in a special pocket on the front console. In addition, the system allows you to synchronize contacts, audio files and other information contained in the smartphone's memory with the car multimedia center, as well as recharge its battery without a wired connection.

Multiple smartphones can be registered to the Connectivity Concept, which is convenient when more than one person is using the car. Mass production of cars with access via smartphone Hyundai intends to establish by 2015, but for now the system exists only as a test sample installed in the serial i30 hatchback.

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

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. ... >>

Subcutaneous chips with COVID-passport 31.12.2021

Several thousand Swedes have implanted implants under their skin in recent years, eliminating the need to constantly carry public transport tickets, a bank card, an electronic key or a business card. Recently, DSruptive Subdermals started using the chips as a COVID passport. This was reported by the agency AFP.

"A chip implant costs 100 euros. If you want to buy a more advanced version, for example, for tracking health indicators, it will probably cost twice as much. But a chip implant lasts 20-40 years," said Hannes Sjoblad, Managing Director DSruptive Subdermals.

Many "consider chips a scary technology," he says, but they should be treated as mere identification tags.

"They don't have a battery, they can't transmit on their own, they can't determine your location," Sjoblad said.

The chip consists of certified biocompatible glass, high-brightness lead-free LED, ultra-thin circuit board with NFC interface, EEPROM. Works with iOS and Android. The chip also has 2 KB of memory, a coil with an inductive ferrite core at a frequency of 13,56 MHz.

DSruptive Subdermals guarantees data retention for 50 years.
