Pocket Book 650

23.05.2014

At the end of June, PocketBook will start selling a new device for reading electronic books - the PocketBook 650 model.

It is claimed that the presented gadget is the first book reader on the market equipped with a monochrome E Ink Carta screen and a 5-megapixel autofocus camera. The pre-installed software allows you to recognize the text captured by the camera and convert it into editable formats. The device can also read and recognize bar and QR codes.

The new display has a diagonal of 6 inches, its resolution is 1024x758 pixels (212 dpi). Displays 16 shades of gray and supports touch control. Built-in LED backlight allows you to comfortably read books and view documents even in low light or at night.

The page-turning buttons are placed on the rear panel of the case, which, according to the developer, "allows you to effectively use the entire surface of the reader and gives the user even more options for comfortable interaction with the device."

The reader is equipped with a processor with an operating frequency of 1 GHz, 512 MB of RAM, a 4 GB flash module, and a Wi-Fi adapter (802.11 b/g/n). Dimensions are 162,7x106,7x7,9 mm, weight - 175 g. A software platform based on the Linux kernel is used.

The new product supports PDF, PDF (DRM), EPUB, EPUB (DRM), DJVU, FB2, FB2.ZIP, DOC, DOCX, RTF, PRC, TCR, TXT, CHM, HTM, HTML, JPEG, BMP, PNG, TIFF and MP3 audio materials. A 1500 mAh battery charge is enough to view up to 8000 pages without backlight.

It will be possible to buy PocketBook 650 at an estimated price of $250.

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, ... >>

Collision of protons is simulated 02.05.2022

Scientists from the National Laboratory. The Berkeleys used the IBM Q quantum computer to do part of the calculation for the collision of two protons. To do this, they split the effective field theory into several parts and developed an algorithm that allows certain calculations to be performed on a quantum computer.

Berkeley Lab is engaged in the study of particle physics by observing the collision of high-energy particles in the laboratory, for example, using the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. Scientists compare theoretical calculations of these collisions with real-life experimental results.

“One of the main challenges of this kind of calculation is that we want to describe a wide range of energies,” said Benjamin Nachman, one of the researchers. “We want to describe processes from the highest energy to the lowest energy by analyzing the corresponding particles that fall into our detector.” .

Using a purely quantum computer to solve this kind of problem would require too many qubits - modern quantum machines do not have such power. Scientists can perform these calculations on classical computers using approximations, but in this case, important quantum effects fall out of focus. Therefore, the team of physicists decided to divide the calculations between different systems, classical and quantum. Quantum calculations were carried out on an IBM Q operating with hundreds of qubits.

In the future, scientists plan to add new dimensions to the problem, break it down into more components and increase the scale of the problem. Ultimately, they expect to perform calculations on a quantum computer that are not possible with classical ones.
