Media system Ford Sync 3

06.06.2015

Ford today announced that the latest Sync 3 infotainment system will begin appearing in vehicles in the coming months.

Recall that the official announcement of the Sync 3 platform took place at the end of last year. This on-board complex is based on the QNX OS, while the previous generation media centers were based on Microsoft software. The transition to another operating system has improved the interface, making it more understandable and convenient. In addition, the response time has been reduced.

Sync 3 includes a greatly improved voice assistant that understands commands spoken in normal, natural language and more accurately recognizes the voice. To call an assistant, a special button will be located on the steering wheel, which will make it less likely to be distracted from the road.

For user interaction, the on-board center is equipped with an 8-inch touch screen. It is noted that - compared to the previous generation of media systems - improved gesture control and display response to touch. The number of available applications reaches 40, among them there are both multimedia services and programs that make life easier for drivers.

Of course, satellite navigation is available. The AppLink feature allows you to control smartphone applications using voice commands. In addition, it supports receiving updates via Wi-Fi.

The Sync 3 infotainment system will make its debut on the 2016 Ford Escape SUV and Fiesta compact car, which will hit the market this summer. In the future, the new media system will appear on other Ford models.

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 ... >>

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, ... >>

Named the reason for the rapid growth of black holes 06.04.2012

When scientists figured out that there is a supermassive black hole at the center of almost every large galaxy, they immediately faced a mystery that they could not solve for a long time. Scientists have learned that the supermassive black holes of the first galaxies in the Universe gained mass almost immediately, that is, being ten times younger than today, they have already "fat" to billions, and sometimes even trillions of solar masses. This was inconsistent with observations.

As now, so in those days, the main "dish" of black holes was a "cocktail" of interstellar gas and dust, and stars, planets and large asteroids were nothing more than a rare delicacy for them. Gas and dust clouds, attracted by the gravity of the black hole, do not immediately find themselves inside: at first they begin to rotate around, forming a flaming disk, and only then gradually get inside. This process cannot provide the rate of mass gain that the first superholes had.

British astrophysicists at the University of Leicester claim to have solved this puzzle.
"We needed a faster mass-gain mechanism," says Chris Nixon, one of the members of the Leicester team, "so we decided to see what would happen if the gas jets hit the black hole from different directions."

Computer simulations have shown that if two jets approach the black hole at the same time, they form two different disks located at an angle to each other. Independently of each other, these two disks will exist only for a short time, and then collide, after which a lot of matter will immediately fall into the black hole.

Scientists compare this process to the imagined tragedy in the circus on the Wall of Death, which, as we often see, is driven in circles by crazy motorcyclists. If the motorcyclists collide, they will both fall. In the same way, two huge flat disks around a black hole collide, lose their rotational energy and fall. Thanks to this effect, the mass gain rate of a black hole can increase up to a thousand times.
