Extreme Camera Olympus TG-Tracker

26.05.2016

Olympus has introduced a new action camera TG-Tracker. Features include a detachable handgrip, 204° ultra-wide-angle lens, flip-out display, and XNUMX-DOF Image Stabilizer.

The camera uses a 1/2,3-inch image sensor that captures 8MP photos and 4K (30fps) or 1080 (60fps) movies. The 13,9mm EGF lens has a maximum aperture of F/2,0. The TruePic VII processor is busy processing data in the camera.

Interestingly, the camera is equipped with sensors that allow it to store coordinates, data on the speed and direction of movement, pressure, altitude and temperature. This data can be viewed in conjunction with footage using the free Olympus Image TrackVer 2.0 application.

The camera withstands drops from a height of up to 2,1 m or a load of up to 100 kg, remains operational at temperatures down to -10 ° C, has a dust- and waterproof design (designed for diving to a depth of up to 30 m, meets the IPX8 degree of protection). When shooting underwater, the white balance and other settings are adjusted automatically. It should also be noted built-in flashlight (60 lm) for shooting in the dark.

Supplied with UP-T01 Underwater Lens Protector, LP-T01 Close-up Lens Protector, MC-T01 Selfie Mirror Mount, SG-T01 Tough Shooting Grip with Dot for mounting on a tripod.

The Olympus TG-Tracker will go on sale in July for $350.

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 ... >>

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, ... >>

Yeast can filter lead 05.07.2022

Inactive yeast may be a cheap and effective way to remove lead contamination from drinking water sources, according to a new analysis by scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Research shows that this approach can be effective and cost effective, as just one gram of yeast can remove up to 12mg of lead in less than five minutes!

A team of experts calculated that the yeast discarded from one brewery in Boston was enough to clean up the city's entire water supply.

Lead and other heavy metals in water are a major global problem that continues to grow due to e-waste and emissions from mining. Unlike organic pollutants, most of which can eventually be broken down, heavy metals do not biodegrade but are stored in water indefinitely and accumulated by living organisms. In addition, they are either impossible or very expensive to completely remove by conventional methods (chemical precipitation or membrane filtration).

Lead is highly toxic even at low concentrations. In the body, it enters the brain, liver, kidneys and bones. Subsequently, lead accumulates in the teeth and bones. Lead is especially dangerous for children, it disrupts the functioning of the brain and central nervous system, causing coma, convulsions and even death.

MIT's solution is not new. A process called biosorption, which uses inactive biological material to remove heavy metals from water, has been known for decades. Previously, this method has only been studied for much higher concentrations.

The new study demonstrates that the process can actually work efficiently at much lower concentrations.
