indoor horse

04.01.2004

The Japanese company "Matsushita" has released a "room horse" on which you can train in the art of riding at home or in the gym.

The horse, nicknamed Joba (translated from Japanese as "riding"), is capable of performing all the movements of a real one, except for kicking or throwing the rider off his back. More than 15 thousand copies have already been sold, although the price, depending on the modification, ranges from one thousand to one and a half thousand dollars.

Doctors have shown that Joba trains the rider's muscles well, especially the spinal ones, and helps restore health after a stroke. Training on a house horse also improves the condition of diabetics.

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, ... >>

Fujitsu Stylistic Q736 Rugged Device 27.02.2016

Fujitsu launches a secure 2-in-1 device. The new Stylistic Q736 tablet uses various types of security technologies, including Fujitsu PalmSecure biometric technology based on palm vein recognition.

New 13,3-inch (33,8 cm) tablet that weighs less than 1 kg, converts into a classic laptop when connected to a keyboard dock, provides secure authentication based on biometrics or SmartCard technology, and supports contactless SmartCards with NFC (near-field communication) function. What's more, the Stylistic Q736 is equipped with an encrypted storage drive with an Intel TPM (Trusted Platform Module) that creates a secure vault for security keys and passwords in the system, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data.

The combination of performance and security features makes the Fujitsu Stylistic Q736 an excellent choice for vertical industries, where it is equally important to ensure the security of data stored on the device - for example, medical records in medical institutions or bank account information in financial institutions, and secure access to the most tablet.

In addition, after a quick authentication, the new Stylistic Q736 provides access to corporate data from anywhere, at any time. The tablet offers enterprise-class connectivity, including 4G/LTE networks and built-in GPS support.

"Human error is one of the most common security issues, so we've implemented a new user-centric approach to eliminate system-level vulnerabilities," explained Jorg Hartmann, Category Management Director, Fujitsu EMEIA Products. "The new Stylistic Q736 supports advanced biometric and SmartCard security technologies that help mitigate the risks associated with common but catastrophic errors, such as when an employee leaves their tablet unlocked in a public place."

Stylistic Q736 is capable of continuous operation from one battery for about 9,5 hours and up to 15 hours when using a second battery (optional). The Microsoft Windows 10 Professional operating system guarantees compatibility with corporate networks and applications. Standard features include a digital pen for fully digitizing handwritten notes and Intel Pro Wireless Display technology for wireless connection to an external monitor. Fujitsu is positioning the Stylistic Q736 as a laptop replacement for stationary use.

The Stylistic Q736 features the latest processors, up to the 7th Gen Intel Core i6 vPro, and a 13,3-inch (33,8 cm) high-resolution Full HD (1920 x 1080) anti-glare IPS touch display with dual digitizer. This large screen tablet comes with options such as a keyboard dock with additional interfaces, an additional battery and a cradle to expand functionality.
