Ford Glare-Free Highbeam headlight system

22.03.2016

Ford has introduced the Glare-Free Highbeam electronic headlight control system. The complex provides maximum illumination without blinding other road users.

Glare-Free Highbeam is paired with Auto High Beam (automatic high/low beam switching) and Ford Dynamic LED with Adaptive Front Lighting (LED headlights with adaptive headlights). For the operation of the new complex, a camera is used, installed in the windshield area and designed to detect other vehicles, as well as cyclists.

With Glare-Free Highbeam, the headlights constantly adjust to changing road conditions. The system detects approaching or receding vehicles up to 800 meters away and smoothly dims individual beams of light, preventing drivers from being dazzled while maintaining maximum illumination of other areas.

The system takes into account a variety of indicators, such as the current speed of the vehicle, daylight, the distance to the vehicle ahead, and even the activity of the windshield wipers.

Glare-Free Highbeam is already available on the new Ford S-MAX and Galaxy models, and will soon be available on the Ford Edge crossover.

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. ... >>

Malicious bacteria detector 06.07.2014

Ohio-based ProteoSense, a developer and manufacturer of a bacteria detector in food products, has received funding from the Ohio Third Frontier, a local state enterprise support fund, and the Technology Concept Fund, established by the local government in conjunction with Ohio University. The volume of investments amounted to over $100 thousand.

ProteoSense has developed the RapidScan device to screen foods for Salmonella, E. coli and other bacteria that cause intestinal infections, as well as allergens.

RapidScan is comparable in size to a smartphone. To check the product for the presence of a specific bacterium, you must insert the appropriate cartridge into the device, which is supplied with the tester.

The device gives results in a few minutes. Suppliers of the products for which it is intended do not need to contact the laboratory and wait for the results of the standard 3-4 days - with the ProteoSense solution, they can perform the test themselves and quickly.

The technology used by ProteoSense in its device was developed by researchers at the Ohio College of Technology and the Ohio College of Medicine.

The development of ProteoSense will come in handy for the American food industry. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is currently finalizing new rules that will require farmers, food vendors, and others in the food industry to be able to self-check commodities for dangerous bacteria instantly.
