Optical biometric sensor 1 mm thick

21.02.2016

LG Innotek has announced the development of a very thin optical biometric sensor designed for use in mobile technology. The sensor can be used as part of devices for determining heart rate, stress index and blood oxygen saturation level.

According to the company, the new development consumes less energy and is characterized by higher accuracy than existing solutions. As already mentioned, the sensor is also more compact. Its thickness is only 1 mm. It includes a photodiode, five LEDs and an integrated circuit.

According to a press release, the error in heart rate measurements does not exceed five beats per minute during exercise and two at rest.

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 ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Fujitsu Primergy servers based on Intel Xeon E5 v4 processors 06.04.2016

Fujitsu has announced a complete revamp of its Primergy XNUMX-socket server line, from tower servers to compute nodes for high performance clusters. The new Primergy lineup includes classic tower servers, rack servers, blade servers, compact server nodes for clusters, and dedicated rack models for service providers and hosting companies.

In general, the company updated the following systems: Primergy RX2510 M2, RX2530 M2, RX2540 M2 and RX2560 M2; Primergy TX2560 M2; Primergy BX2560 M2 and BX2580 M2; Primergy CX2550 M2 and CX2570 M2. With new Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 family processors and up to 4 MHz DDR2400 memory technology, Fujitsu estimates that the new generation of dual-socket Primergy servers deliver approximately 20% performance improvements over the previous generation.

Fujitsu Primergy system users can reduce system cooling energy costs with Fujitsu's Cool-safe Advanced Thermal Design technology, which raises the safe operating temperature from 40°C to 45°C for most rack, floor and scale-out systems. In turn, support for Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 technology will help protect the IT infrastructure from attacks by intruders, as the systems are able to check communications and manage the data encryption process.

Primergy RX Rack Systems are all-in-one servers optimized for data center rack cabinets that deliver the performance and energy efficiency you expect. Their low failure rates make them the best solution for running business-critical services (such as plant management systems or key business applications). Focusing on the needs of service providers and hosting companies, Fujitsu also launched the Primergy RX2510 M2.

Primergy TX floorstanding systems are cost-effective servers designed for use in office environments. With ease of use, they can be operated by employees without special technical skills. And with low power consumption and quiet operation, dual-socket TX systems are suitable for demanding office environments, including branch offices and healthcare facilities. All TX systems support Trusted Platform Module 2.0 technology as standard, protecting equipment and sensitive corporate data.

Primergy BX blade systems are the building blocks for building converged IT infrastructures. Based on a modular architecture, blade systems demonstrate high density and scalability. This helps companies simplify their infrastructures, reduce costs and increase operational agility.

Primergy CX scale-out systems are specifically designed for cloud environments, high-performance computing and complex computing, including standard workloads of scientific organizations, such as universities and research institutes. With Cool-safe Advanced Thermal Design technology that operates at temperatures up to 45°C, CX systems reduce data center ventilation requirements and, as a result, reduce cooling costs.
