Memory cards with backup function

13.12.2013

Sony has released new SD memory cards that the manufacturer says can do more than serve as temporary storage or be used to transfer pictures from a camera. Backup SD Cards are endowed with an automatic backup function, eliminating the need for the user to use an external drive for this purpose.

Of course, the secret of the cards is only in the presence of the corresponding software on them. After inserting the card into the slot for the first time, the user is prompted to install the software on the computer and select folders whose contents will be automatically copied to the card.

When the card is in the slot, backup is performed automatically as soon as the program detects data changes. The current state of the user is informed by the notes During backup and Backup completed, displayed next to the file names.

To protect the data on the card from unauthorized access, the user can enable AES encryption with a 256-bit key.

The price of SNBA16, SNBA32 and SNBA64 cards with 16, 32 and 64 GB capacity is $28, $53 and $100 respectively.

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. 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, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

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 ... >>

Robot neurosurgeon 14.02.2002

The British company "Armstrong Healthcare" reported that she managed to develop the world's first robot for surgical operations. Now you can not be afraid that the surgeon's hand will suddenly tremble during an operation on the human brain.

The robot is able to bring surgical instruments to the operated area of the brain with the highest degree of accuracy, without causing any damage to the surrounding healthy tissues. The neurosurgeon robot can be used to remove brain tumors, treat Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and even transplant brain cells using the latest techniques.

It is the first robot capable of reading a map of a human skull. Its task is to provide the neurosurgeon with absolute precision in the application of the instrument. It is completely safe and easy to operate; to launch it, it is enough to set a target for the robot and indicate the approach paths on the scanned x-ray image of the patient's brain. The robot has a video camera with which it accurately aligns the scanned image with the desired area on the patient's head. The surgeon makes a small hole in the skull, after which the robot carefully introduces an instrument into it and hits it right on the target indicated to it.

According to the inventors, the widespread use of the neurosurgeon robot will begin after its testing at the Royal Medical Center in Nottingham.
