Audiophile player Walkman NW-A105

04.02.2020

The Japanese company has introduced a new audio player of the legendary Walkman line - Walkman NW-A105. The design of the gadget has everything you need to create the highest quality sound, including solder joints and film capacitors.

So, for example, lead-free soldering using gold was used to connect the printed circuit board to the battery. The model supports high-resolution audio, DSD (11,2 MHz / PCM conversion) and PCM (384 kHz / 32 bits). Support for DSEE HX technology is provided, which automatically enhances the quality of the reproduced audio to near high-resolution levels. Moreover, the player can do this even in streaming mode.

The range of reproducible frequencies is from 20 Hz to 40 Hz. The novelty received a 000-inch color display.

The price of the player is 399 USD.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

Japan to introduce 14-digit phone numbers 16.05.2019

The rapid development of digital technologies has led to the fact that Japan is approaching the exhaustion of the number resource. It is expected that 11-digit phone numbers in this country will completely run out by 2022. Therefore, the Land of the Rising Sun is already preparing for the transition to 14-digit telephone numbers. By 2021, it is planned to launch 10 billion such telephone numbers.

The rapid adoption of IoT devices (which require their own phone number in Japan) is pushing the stock of 11-digit phone numbers reserved for this purpose closer to the limit. It is expected that the introduction of Japan's new 5G communication standard in 2020 will lead to even more consumption of the number resource.

Japan's Ministry of Communications proposal to issue 14-digit numbers was supported by the country's three main mobile operators: NTT Docomo Inc., KDDI Corp. and Soft Bank Corp. Currently, 11-digit numbers starting with "090", "080" and "070" are used in Japan for mobile phones. Back in 2017, the country issued 80 million 11-digit numbers starting with "020" specifically for IoT devices. At the moment, almost half of them are already occupied.

Most likely, Japan will not be the only country faced with the need to increase the number of available numbers for more devices. Last year, the number of IoT devices in the world exceeded the number of mobile phones. Since 2008, there have been more connected devices than people on the planet, and by 2020 it is predicted that there will be 50 billion connected devices worldwide.

10 and 11 digit numbers have been the norm in North America since the late 90s, coinciding with the advent of the internet and mobile phones. As early as 2001, the New York Times lamented the "number exhaustion" problem due to New Yorkers needing an area code to dial their neighbors.
