Voice control of LG air conditioners

16.01.2017

LG Electronics will begin introducing voice control to all of its air conditioners in 2018. This was stated by Song Dae-hyun, head of home appliance division of LG Home Appliance & Air Solutions.

"We take into account partnerships with third-party technologies such as Apple Siri and Amazon Alexa," the top manager said.

He also promised that all LG consumer electronics will be equipped with Wi-Fi wireless modules this year. Owners of already released appliances will be able to take advantage of Smart ThinQ technology, which allows you to connect household appliances to the Internet.

These statements were made at an event dedicated to the demonstration of an artificial intelligence air conditioner. The novelty, called Whisen Dual Air Conditioner, adapts to the user's habits and environment.

By analyzing the data, the system distributes the cooled air to those areas of the room that are most often visited by people. Thanks to this, it was possible to achieve energy savings of 20% compared to traditional installations, the manufacturer notes.

The new device regulates the strength and direction of the air flow using a built-in camera that determines the number and location of people. For example, if one person is near the air conditioner, then one outlet opens towards him, from where a weak breeze blows, and to a person who is at a remote distance, the system sends strong air flows from several tubes.

If the air conditioner recognizes only one person in the living room, it automatically uses only one air flow, saving up to 50% of energy.

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, ... >>

Underwater sacrificial objects discovered 07.08.2020

An international group of anthropologists have discovered objects of underwater sacrifices at the bottom of Lake Titicaca, including a stone casket. Its contents are a figurine of a llama carved from a clam shell and a sheet of gold leaf.

Since 2012, researchers have been researching the cultural heritage preserved at the bottom of Lake Titicaca. At the moment, they are in search of places where the ancient Incas performed underwater sacrifices, like the Khoa Reef off Isla del Sol. Experts were able to identify stone caskets with figurines and other offerings to gods or ancestral spirits. As a result of further excavations, it was possible to find out that the island was an important religious and cultural center for the Incas and their predecessors.

While exploring the bottom of the lake near the K'akaya archipelago, located in the east of Titicaca, divers discovered a large stone chest that was covered with a lid. Inside it was found a miniature lama figurine carved from the shell of a prickly oyster and a scroll of gold leaf. They were precious to the Incas, since these mollusks were found only 2000 km from Lake Titicaca.

This discovery indicates that they had great cultural and religious significance, uniting a large number of disparate peoples that were part of the Inca empire.
