288-Mbit RDRAM 1066 MHz

05.05.2003

The Japanese company Elpida Memory announced the start of deliveries of 288-megabit RDRAM (Rambus) 1066 MHz RAM chips intended for use in workstations, as well as high-performance desktop computers and network devices.

The chips are produced using proprietary 0,13 micron technology in FBGA packages. The new 288 megabit chips will be used in RIMM and SO-RIMM modules from 128 to 512 MB. Chips and RIMM modules developed by Elpida specialists have already been certified by Rambus. In the near future, Elpida plans to start production of Rambus memory chips designed for operating frequencies of 1200 and 1333 MHz.

According to the manufacturer, the new 288 megabit RDRAM chips use Rambus Signaling Level (RSL) technology, which allows not only to increase the operating frequency to 1066 MHz, but also to achieve increased memory reliability. The chips provide data transfer at a speed of two bytes per 0 94 ns (or 16 bytes per 75 ns) have a built-in write buffer designed to reduce access time, as well as a system to reduce power consumption.

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 ... >>

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, ... >>

Combat robot controlled via satellite 05.03.2013

Lockheed Martin has demonstrated the ability to control the SMSS ground combat robot via a satellite channel: outside the line of sight from a distance of more than 320 km.

Currently, the capabilities of ground-based robots are limited by the range of reliable radio communications. It is dangerous for the operator to control a robot in the line-of-sight zone, and it has so far been difficult to organize over-the-horizon communication using UAV repeaters or satellites, since an instant response to commands is required from a ground vehicle.

Lockheed Martin specialists decided to use modern advances in the field of artificial intelligence, which made it possible to solve the problem of over-the-horizon control of ground robots. During testing at the Camp Grayling test site, the SMSS robot successfully completed several reconnaissance operations, while the vehicle was controlled from the Armored Research and Engineering Development Center (TARDEC). The robot demonstrated mobility, reliable operation of sensors and data transmission channels, and the troops received increased situational awareness without risk to the operator.

For testing, the SMSS was equipped with a telescopic mast with an electron-optical system and a thermal imager, which were controlled via satellite. To control the movement of the robot, a pre-set route program was used, which could be adjusted with simple commands such as "follow me", "go to the point" or "reverse". As a result, SMSS moved along the route with minimal operator intervention, automatically performing various actions necessary to complete the combat mission.

The successful demonstration of the control of a ground robot via a satellite communication channel opens up new opportunities for the use of these machines in combat conditions. Ground robots for the first time can become full-fledged combat units, like UAVs in their time. In addition, thanks to automatic driving systems and real-time video communication, the operator will be able to use weapons - from that moment on, ground robots will become a formidable force.
