Reduce eye strain on smartphone users

08.11.2015

Philips has launched smartphones that use a special technology to reduce the load on the visual apparatus.

We are talking about a system called SoftBlue, which is already used in monitors. Studies have shown that, like UV rays, the blue light from LED displays can affect the eyes, resulting in visual impairment over time. SoftBlue uses intelligent technology to reduce the wavelength of harmful blue light without affecting the color of the screen image.

SoftBlue is claimed to reduce the negative impact of blue backlighting by 86%.
The Sapphire Life V787 has similar specs but comes with a 1080-inch 5p screen. Both devices are running the Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system and support fourth-generation LTE mobile communications.

Philips' first cellular phones with eye strain reduction technology are the Sapphire S616 and Sapphire Life V787. The Sapphire S616 is equipped with a 5,5-inch 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels) screen, an 8-core MediaTek MT6753 processor, 2 GB of RAM, a 16 GB flash module, and cameras with 13- and 5-megapixel matrices.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Breathing gets harder 09.04.2005

Stations scattered around the world that measure carbon dioxide in the air, for the second year in a row, have noted an unusually large increase in this indicator: more than three parts per million parts of air per year.

The oldest such station has been operating in the Hawaiian Islands since 1958, and such cases of sustained growth have not yet been observed. The increase for the year ranged from 0,8 to one and a half parts per million. True, in some years there were two and almost three parts per million, but this happened during the El Niño years - the activation of warm currents in the ocean.

Warm water can hold fewer gases in solution than cold water. But in recent years there have been no strong El Niños. Perhaps, say some ecologists, the ability of the biosphere to absorb carbon dioxide emitted by burning fuel has been exhausted. Too many forests have been cut down. If this is so, then we are waiting for a rapid, by historical standards, and a radical change in the Earth's climate.

According to another theory, excess carbon dioxide is thrown into the air by forest fires that have become more frequent in recent years. On the island of Borneo, peat deposits are almost constantly smoldering. Experts agree that we must wait and see what happens to the atmosphere next.
