Television through socket

18.02.2013

Moscow City Telephone Network (MGTS), part of the MTS Group, announced the launch of a new solution that allows GPON subscribers in Moscow to connect digital television without laying a cable in the apartment.

MGTS offered subscribers new equipment - PLC adapters that allow you to transmit a digital television signal around the apartment at a speed of up to 200 Mbit / s using ordinary household wiring. The adapters are plugged into sockets, providing an optical modem connection with a digital TV set-top box via the electrical network. Thanks to this, the subscriber can use all digital television services in any room, including in HD quality, without additional cable laying in the apartment.

"Thanks to the project of transferring the MGTS network to the new GPON optical technology, Muscovites get the opportunity to connect modern high-quality IP television in each apartment. Most subscribers want to use TV without laying extra wires in order to keep repairs in the apartment and be able to connect a TV in any room. New the equipment provides high-quality connection in an apartment of any size and layout, is extremely easy to use, does not require special settings,” said Dmitry Kulakovsky, Marketing and Business Development Director at MGTS.

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 ... >>

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, ... >>

Biometric flight check-in 15.03.2018

The widespread automation of processes will help relieve airport employees from the additional work of checking boarding passes and documents. Now biometric systems will take over this function.

Already in November 2017, one of the largest air carriers, British Airways, began testing the latest biometric technology for boarding passengers on flights using the so-called "e-Gate" system or electronic gates to speed up passenger flow checks at Los Angeles International Airport. Biometric electronic gates are currently being tested at airports in Miami, Orlando, and New York.

Now, instead of presenting boarding passes and passports to airport employees before boarding a plane, passengers can go through the check themselves.

The electronic gate, developed by SITA, uses high-definition cameras to identify unique facial features and match them to passport and visa photos, and checks the information against a database of passengers registered for the flight. If the system identifies the user, the gate opens and he can board the plane.

In tests conducted at Los Angeles International Airport, British Airways said the biometric gate was able to let 400 passengers through in just 22 minutes. And at Orlando Airport, the process of checking in 240 passengers took 10 minutes. This is one and a half times faster than the traditional check of passengers by the airport staff.

Carolina Martinoli, Director of Brands and Customers at British Airways, says "the technology the company uses is something that passengers have long been familiar with and trust. They know it's reliable, efficient and safe."

Indeed, in practice, this is similar to the facial recognition systems that many of today's smartphones are equipped with. "Testing like this will help British Airways develop technologies and processes that best meet customer needs," he said.
