Hybrid TV remote control and portable speaker

26.08.2015

Sony Corporation introduced a very unusual device with the designation SRS-LSR100: it is a hybrid of a portable speaker and a TV remote control.

The novelty is made in the form of a small portable speaker system: it is equipped with 2-watt stereo speakers and a rechargeable battery. The charge of the latter is said to be enough for 16 hours of battery life.

On the top panel of the SRS-LSR100 are buttons responsible for the functions of a traditional TV remote control. Thus, the novelty can be used instead of the standard remote control supplied with the TV panel.

The main idea behind the SRS-LSR100 is that users can play TV audio through a nearby portable speaker. This can be useful, for example, when watching programs in a noisy room or, on the contrary, when you do not want to disturb others. By the way, the headphone jack is provided on the body of the novelty. In this case, the device will allow you to adjust the volume level, switch channels, etc.

Communication with the TV is carried out through a special station using the 2,4 GHz frequency band. The dimensions of the gadget are 179 x 28 x 71 mm, weight - 440 grams.

In Japan, the novelty will be on sale on September 12: the price will be approximately 170 USD.

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 ... >>

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, ... >>

Development of the 6G communication standard 07.11.2021

An international team of researchers from Japan and Finland will work to create technologies and standards for the sixth generation of wireless communications, commonly known as 6G, as part of a joint research agreement between the two countries.

At a time when more people than ever rely on telecommunications for various aspects of their lives, many feel that we must accelerate the development of communications technology. A key aspect of this technology is how people and machines communicate wirelessly. To open up a new generation of wireless communication, international cooperation is needed, as common standards encourage their adoption.

To this end, Japan and Finland have launched a bilateral partnership through cooperation between the University of Tokyo and the University of Oulu in Finland. Over the next few years, a roadmap for the 6G standard will be created and research on technology components will be carried out.

Matti Latva-aho - Academy Professor at the University of Oulu and Director of the 6G Flagship National Research Program in Finland - has been appointed Research Fellow at the University of Tokyo. He will cooperate with Professor Akihiro Nakao of UTokyo Graduate School of Engineering and their team will work on the research and development of future 6G technologies and technical standards.

"It's not just about faster speeds and faster response, although those things will be improved," said Nakao. networks and much more. In everyday life, all this means that people will be more comfortable communicating with each other, as well as interacting with services and devices. "

Some areas of life where 6G technology could be useful include healthcare, where low-power embedded sensors can relay real-time health data to physicians or expert systems, or even respond to natural disasters, as integration with satellite platforms means that if ground-based the infrastructure will be damaged, then it will be possible to maintain important communication. This is especially important in countries such as Japan, where earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and even volcanic eruptions are a very real danger affecting people's lives.
