Device for the treatment of mosquito bites

19.04.2000

Closer to summer, a variety of "tweeters" to repel mosquitoes are in great demand. However, many believe that such devices do not completely solve the problem.

Perhaps this circumstance forced representatives of the German "Society of Applied Technologies" to develop an electronic device for healing mosquito bites. When touched on affected areas of the skin, the device sends out a thermal impulse that destroys mosquito venom and instantly relieves itching and subsequent redness of the skin.

Approximate price of the device in Germany DM50.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Electronic helmet for truck drivers 14.04.2024

Road safety, especially for drivers of heavy construction equipment, is a top priority for engineers and scientists. In light of this, the German Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Strength and System Reliability has introduced a new product - an electronic helmet, which is designed to protect drivers from serious injury when driving construction vehicles. A new electronic helmet developed by a team of engineers from the Fraunhofer Institute opens up new perspectives for the safety of truck and construction equipment drivers. The device is capable of monitoring the level of shaking in the car cabin and warning the driver of possible danger. The basis of the helmet's operation is a built-in piezoelectric sensor, which generates electricity during physical deformation. This mechanism allows the device to respond to intense vibrations typical of construction equipment. When the level of deformation exceeds safe values, an alarm system is activated on the helmet, ... >>

Antivitamins instead of antibiotics 13.04.2024

The problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is becoming increasingly serious, posing a threat to the effective treatment of infections. In light of this, researchers are looking for new ways to combat superbugs. One of the promising directions is the use of antivitamins that can have an antibacterial effect. Antivitamins, although known as the opposite of vitamins, have proven to be a promising tool in the fight against bacterial antibiotic resistance. A study conducted by scientists from the University of Göttingen in Germany confirmed their potential in creating new drugs to combat dangerous infections. With the rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs, there is a need to find alternative treatments. Antivitamins are molecules similar to vitamins, but capable of inhibiting bacterial activity without harm to the human body. At the moment, science knows only three antivitamins: rose ... >>

wifi on sheep 28.12.2014

British researchers plan to equip sheep with Wi-Fi hotspots to bring high-speed Internet access to rural areas. Sheep are no strangers to wearing equipment: in the summer of 2014, they played the role of operators in the Tour de France.

A team of researchers led by Lancaster University professor Gordon Blair plans to explore the possibility of installing Wi-Fi hotspots on sheep farms in British Wales, reports The Daily Mail.

According to the researchers, this can solve the problem of providing high-speed Internet access to remote rural areas. The group received 171,5 thousand pounds sterling (about 14,5 million) for this project.

Researchers suggest that it would be possible to equip remote areas with Internet access by turning sheep grazing in wide open spaces into a chain of wireless signal transceivers.

"This could address the typically slow access speeds and poor network coverage in much of the UK's rural areas," notes The Daily Mail.

Wi-Fi modules can be integrated into digital collars - devices for monitoring the movement of sheep that farmers use.

We add that earlier sheep were already used as a kind of transport for equipment. In July 2014, these animals were equipped with cameras to film the prestigious Tour de France cycling race held in Yorkshire. The cameras on the sheep were controlled remotely.

In addition to the Internet, Blair's team will study the problems of pollution, floods and droughts. Within the framework of the project, water level sensors will be installed in the rivers on the banks and precipitation sensors. A similar system has been installed in Honduras by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Microsoft.

The authors of the project will try to implement one of the basic principles of the "Internet of things" - the ability of electronic devices to communicate with each other and send data to the Internet without human intervention. The researchers note that in rural areas such a concept is more difficult to organize due to the more complex landscape. However, the results are obvious - high-quality network coverage of remote areas and the availability of all kinds of sensors will help to cope with natural disasters and increase the efficiency of agriculture.
