Synchronization of the on-board computer of the car with the iPhone and Apple Watch

22.06.2015

Honda Motor Company announced the introduction of a new intelligent service Road Hints, which will link the car's navigation system with the owner's mobile devices.

Through a special application, iPhone owners will be able to receive information about "points of interest" (restaurants, hotels, etc.) in accordance with the current location of the vehicle and (or) a given route. In this case, the data search radius will be 5 kilometers.

In addition, an application for smart watches Apple Watch will be released. With its help, users will be able to remotely check the fuel level in the tank and its average consumption, the distance that the car can travel without refueling, and other parameters of on-board systems.

In parallel with support for the latest Apple mobile devices, Honda is introducing intelligent adaptive cruise control. The i-ACC (Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control) complex works on the basis of a standard adaptive cruise control: a camera and radar installed in the front of the car constantly monitor the situation on the road, transmitting data to the on-board computer.

Special software analyzes the information received and predicts the possible behavior of nearby vehicles. If the system decides that a vehicle in an adjacent lane is ready to change lanes, the brakes will be applied in advance.

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 ... >>

The molecular mechanism of hibernation in mammals has been discovered 25.02.2024

An international team of scientists has unraveled the molecular processes underlying hibernation in a variety of animal species, including both small and large mammals. The study found that the muscle contraction protein myosin plays a key role in the process of thermogenesis during hibernation, when heat is generated independently of muscle activity. In small mammals, cellular energy consumption increases in response to cold, allowing them to maintain core body temperature without shivering. In contrast, large mammals do not show such changes.

Studying the molecular mechanisms of hibernation in animals allows us to better understand how they adapt to temperature changes and maintain vital functions during periods of reduced activity. The results obtained open new horizons for biological research aimed at studying the adaptation of animals to changing environmental conditions.

Small animals that hibernate experience long periods of low metabolism known as torpor. They are able to increase body temperature during periods of awakening, restoring physiological functions. In large mammals the situation is different: body temperature remains constant during hibernation. Skeletal muscles, which make up the majority of the mass of large mammals, play an important role in the regulation of heat production and energy metabolism, but the mechanisms of hibernation are not yet fully understood.

Scientists have found that changes in the state of myosin may be associated with reduced energy consumption during hibernation. The study was conducted on the muscles of small and large mammals, revealing significant differences in response to cold and activity. However, analysis of phosphorylation of the Myh2 protein showed that changes are associated with torpor in small mammals, while in large mammals such processes are not observed, probably due to stable body temperature during hibernation.

These discoveries highlight the complexity of animals' adaptation to changes in temperature and the body's needs during hibernation, which opens new perspectives for studying the molecular basis of this phenomenon.
