Getac EX80 Rugged Tablet

11.11.2017

Getac, a company specializing in rugged mobile computers, introduced the EX80 tablet based on the Intel Atom x5-Z8350 processor. According to the manufacturer, this is its first fully rugged tablet specifically designed for use in hazardous areas. The product has passed the relevant ATEX/IECEx (Zone 0) and UL913 (Class I/II Division 1) certifications. In simple terms, this means that the tablet can be used by personnel of oil platforms, petrochemical and military industrial enterprises, and even employees of ammunition depots.

The Getac EX80 is sealed in an anti-static case and features surface temperature control to prevent explosions due to static electricity, heat, or friction.

The eight-inch WXGA touchscreen display (1280 x 800 pixels) is characterized by a brightness of 600 cd/m?, according to the manufacturer, sufficient to see the image on the screen even in bright sunlight. The display supports multiple touch modes for working in the rain, while typing, or when using a hard-tip pen.

The Getac EX80 is equipped with 8 megapixel and Full HD cameras, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless interfaces, and a GPS receiver. One of the features of the EX80 is that it comes with a rotating pen, which provides comfortable operation with the tablet, can serve as a stand for the device and a pen holder. Other accessories are available, including docking stations and shoulder straps.

The tablet is running Windows 10 Professional. It is equipped with a TPM 2.0 module, supports multi-factor authentication using the Windows Login system and a contactless smart card reader (HF RFID). The Absolute DDS feature allows you to remotely lock the system in case of loss or theft.

The battery life, according to the manufacturer, exceeds 8 hours. With dimensions of 240 x 155 x 29 mm, the device weighs 1,48 kg.

Degree of protection of the tablet - IP67. In addition, he passed the MIL-STD810G test, that is, he is not afraid of dust, moisture, salt fog, drops, shock, vibration and temperature extremes. The manufacturer provides a three-year warranty for the EX80 tablet.

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 ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. 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, ... >>

Oxygen on Mars 23.06.2018

In recent years, more and more ideas for the colonization of Mars have been put forward. Experts from all over the Earth are puzzling over how a person could live comfortably on the Red Planet, grow plants ("and apple trees will bloom on Mars") and animals, have children and engage in scientific research.

One of the most significant problems, of course, is the lack of oxygen on Mars, which we breathe. Obviously, taking enough of it from Earth is not an option.

Scientists from the US unexpectedly found a potential solution to this issue. In their opinion, deep-sea cyanobacteria living in the oceans can probably cope with such a daunting task. Thanks to the process of photosynthesis, they are theoretically capable of absorbing carbon dioxide under extreme conditions for humans, releasing oxygen.

The so-called blue-green algae are surprisingly resilient: they are found in Antarctica, in the incredibly hot Death Valley, and even on the outer skin of the International Space Station.

Elmars Krausz, one of the authors of the study, says: "This may sound like pure science fiction to many of us, but large space agencies and some private companies are already interested in testing our idea in practice. In theory, bacterial photosynthesis is really capable of launch oxygen production on Mars."
