Artificial intelligence will identify dangerous drivers

15.09.2020

Australian scientists who are developing new technologies for road safety announced the creation of a new unique system. It allows you to recognize the numbers of cars that move along the highway, and also calculates those factors in the driver's behavior that can become dangerous for other road users.

So, artificial intelligence is able to "see" that the driver of a car is driving with an unfastened seat belt. The system will also respond to motorists who fall asleep at the wheel or communicate with someone on the phone while driving.

In addition, in the near future it is planned to add several more new features that will make it possible to improve traffic safety. For example, artificial intelligence will analyze the maneuvers performed by the driver, and also evaluate his condition based on the results of the analysis.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Synology DS216+ NAS 04.02.2016

Synology has announced the release of the DiskStation DS216+ network storage, designed for two drives. It is based on a dual-core processor Intel Celeron N3050, operating at a frequency of 1,6-2,16 GHz. According to the manufacturer, the novelty will be able to meet the needs of home users and small offices. As well as storing and sharing data, the DS216+ can transcode H.264 (AVC), MPEG-2 and VC-1 compressed video on the fly at a maximum resolution of 4K (4096 x 2160 pixels) and frame rate. 30 fps.

The NAS configuration includes 1 GB of DDR3 memory. The total capacity of 3,5" or 2,5" SATA drives can be up to 16TB. Drives can be combined in a Synology Hybrid RAID, Basic, JBOD, RAID 0, or RAID 1 configuration. A Gigabit Ethernet port is used for network connectivity. Read and write speeds are approximately 110 MB/s. The DS216+ also includes two USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.0 port.

The dimensions of the device are 165 x 108 x 233,2 mm, weight - 1,25 kg. For cooling, a 92 mm fan is installed on the rear wall of the case.
