Technology, a great ally to promote road knowledge of the cyclist

For cycling fans, traveling on the road alongside motor vehicles is a challenge on certain occasions. Thus, to promote awareness of the situation and coexistence between drivers and cyclists, Garmin® collaborates with Con(live), a social responsibility initiative organized by the inspiring content platform “Where is the Limit?”. Likewise, and with the aim of helping to know what is happening around cyclists and, at the same time, promoting their visibility, Garmin makes state-of-the-art products and technological features available that provide them with that safety.

Specifically, the cyclist can count on technology that has been developed specifically for them, such as the Varia™ radars, which allow them to be seen and, at the same time, to be informed of the proximity of the vehicles behind them; Also, Edge® cycling computers, which paired with a Varia radar can show when a car is approaching and detect if the cyclist has suffered a fall, as well as automatically notify the incident or allow family and friends to follow their route directly through the Live Track function.

January 2022.- When riding on asphalt, cyclists are the most vulnerable road users, which is why it is vitally important that they have tools or technology that allow them to move more safely, both with the aim of that they are seen by other vehicles so that they can anticipate and, hopefully, avoid possible collisions. At this point, Garmin collaborates with initiatives such as Con(vivir), a project focused on promoting safety and coexistence between drivers and cyclists. Likewise, Garmin also demonstrates its great commitment to this group by creating products that incorporate advanced functionalities to guarantee greater confidence on the road.

see and be seen

When riding on the road next to motor vehicles it is essential that the cyclist sees them and also that the drivers see them. For this, it is very useful to have a Garmin Varia radar or an intelligent light, which allows you to see and be seen in front of vehicles that circulate on the road or when traveling through places with less light.

These devices also warn the cyclist if a vehicle is approaching from behind up to a distance of 140 meters and some models, thanks to their built-in rear light, alert vehicle drivers of the presence of the cyclist up to 1.6 km away. It is also possible to link them directly with a compatible smartphone (by downloading the Varia application), and use the mobile screen as the main screen, in order to view the different alerts sent by the Varia radar, or keep this information in the background, making it visible only when the radar sends alerts. One of the most important issues is that the cyclist will know the level of risk through a color code based on proximity (green, amber and red). In addition to visual alerts,

Incident detection and live monitoring

In addition, it is highly recommended to have a technology that alerts of any incident that may occur, something that materializes through products such as Edge® cycle computers. Thus, one of the most outstanding functions of these in terms of security is that of “security and monitoring”. If the device detects that the cyclist has suffered a fall, it automatically sends an emergency message with the exact coordinates to the contacts previously added to the device through the Garmin Connect™ app. In addition, the athlete can also manually activate this function to request help.

On the other hand, they have functions that allow the user’s contacts to follow their route live, which transmits peace of mind to family and friends, being able to have the cyclist under control at all times. Similarly, cyclists can make it easier to stay in contact with the pack with the GroupTrack feature in case they get separated from it, depending on the device.

Ask for help without mobile coverage

And if the cyclist wants to go even further in the field of safety, there are satellite communication devices, such as Garmin InReach®, which allows him to stay connected, even in areas where there is no mobile coverage, and send an SOS help message to the emergency services to contact them in case you need help in a dangerous situation within an area without mobile coverage ¹ .

Ultimately, these tools and features can help cyclists avoid risky situations, provide better situational awareness and peace of mind to family and friends when out riding. Objectives of great relevance for both Garmin and the Con(vivre) project.

Smart technology with perfect styling Duravit’s focus is on comfort and added value for the user

Smart technology with perfect styling

Duravit’s focus is on comfort and added value for the user

As the world becomes ever more digital, innovative products that enhance the user’s comfort are also finding their way into the bathroom. This is the end product of a customer-focused research and development process that combines technology, functionality, and design in a meaningful way.

Individual mirror control
Gone are the days of users being dazzled by harsh light in front of the mirror. The mirrors from the Happy D.2 Plus and XViu series by sieger design offer practical control via icons on the mirror surface. Contactless operation of the illuminated symbols by “hovering” a finger over the desired icon (infra-red sensor): thanks to the universal symbols, operation is intuitive.

Aesthetically, the icons harmonize perfectly with the overall design of the mirror.
The LED lighting can be individually configured via the touchscreen. With a luminosity of up to 1000 lux, XViu allows continual adjustment of the light color from warm light at 2700 K to cold light at 6500 K. The integrated mirror heating, which keeps the mirror clear of fog at all times, is also controlled using the relevant icon.

The optional dual mirror sets from the Happy D.2 Plus series, also by sieger design, are a perfect blend of aesthetics and technology. Innovative wireless technology allows for synchronized adjustment of the settings for both mirrors. All technologies are subtly integrated within the mirror.

Mirrors from the White Tulip series are available in versions controlled by sensors or an app. The light temperature featuring a memory effect can be synchronized with other lamps connected in the living area and controlled via “Casambi”, an app that has established itself as a reference in smart homes control systems. This feature can be used to dim the mirrors and switch the mirror heating on and off.

Iconic design and hi-tech

The D.1 faucet range saw Duravit team up with Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez to create an iconic design. With the D.1e electronic version, extra state-of-the-art technology has been integrated into the accentuated design for even greater operating comfort. This variant offers the highest comfort and safety thanks to a range of functions. The flat operating button with the integrated LED colored ring is easy and intuitive to operate. A light tap starts or stops the flow of water, and a turn to the left or right alters the water temperature from cold to warm. With the continuous color display from blue to red, the LED ring also provides visual feedback.

Up to three temperature values can be individually stored and directly activated via the “Quick Access” feature. An electronic thermostat integrated into the control unit reacts sensitively to any change to the cold and warm water flow, so that the required temperature is automatically adjusted and kept constant. Additionally, the scald protection is preset at 38 degrees Celsius.

D.1e features a range of presets that can be configured easily and individually, for instance temperature limitation, maximum water flow time, hygiene interval, thermal disinfection, color selection for the ambient lighting on the LED illuminated ring.

Intuitive operation for perfect hygiene
SensoWash® is a by-word for contemporary, gentle, and flawless hygiene. The SensoWash® Starck f shower-toilet is iconic and minimalistic in equal measure. The design of the new shower-toilet generation bears the hallmark of star designer Philippe Starck. His mission: to make the most natural form of cleansing – with water – accessible to a broad public, to subtly integrate technology into the design, and to guarantee the highest level of comfort.

Users’ individual requirements were taken into account during product development – for example, the option to adjust the intensity and position of the spray arm. This function and others are managed using an innovative remote control. While the “Lite” version impresses with its elegantly restrained look, the premium version, SensoWash® Starck f Plus, stands out thanks to its sophisticated, streamlined design. In addition to operation via remote control, on this model, functions such as the water and seat temperature can also be configured using the app. Five different user profiles can be set up. The customer-oriented app enables quick and easy operation and reflects the stylish design of the shower-toilet.

The flush function and odor extraction system may also be controlled via remote control or app if the wall-mounted element, itself perfectly harmonized for SensoWash® Starck f by Duravit, is combined with the A2 electronic actuator plate. An ideal example of how Duravit deploys digital technologies to enhance and maximize comfort.

Duravit AG
Founded in 1817 in Hornberg in the Black Forest, Duravit AG is today a leading international manufacturer of designer bathrooms. The company is active in more than 130 countries worldwide and stands for innovation in the fields of signature design, comfort-enhancing technology and premium quality.

Nano robots applied to medicine

Nanorobots

Nanorobotics is the field of emerging technologies that creates machines or robots whose components are at or close to the nanometer scale (10−9 meters)1. More specifically, nanorobotics refers to the nanotechnological engineering of the design and construction of nanorobots, these devices having a size of about 0.1 to 10 micrometers and built with nanoscale or molecular components. The names of nanobots, nanoids, nanites, nanomachines or nanomites have also been used to describe these devices that are currently in the research and development phase.

Nanometric-scale technology emerged 50 years ago, creating a new dimension called to revolutionize the world we know, as it allows the molecular structure of materials to be manipulated to change their intrinsic properties and obtain others with revolutionary applications. This discipline, which flourished between the 1960s and 1980s, opens up an immense universe of possibilities for contemporary science and industry and presents a booming global market whose value will exceed 125,000 million dollars in the next five years, according to the Global Nanotechnology Market report .

What is nano robotics?

To answer this question, answer:

Samuel Sanchez

2014 MIT Award Winner (Under 35 Innovator)

Documenting myself in excellence.es, I was impressed by the applications of these machines on a microscopic scale.

Main applications for nano and micro machines

The applications for these devices seem endless and these are, from my point of view, the most interesting:

Cancer treatment : they will allow the identification and destruction of cancer cells in a much more effective and accurate way.
Mechanisms for the targeted administration of drugs for the control and prevention of diseases.
Image diagnosis: creation of nanoparticles that gather in certain tissues so that when scanning the body with magnetic resonance systems, problems such as diabetes can be detected.
New sensing devices : With almost unlimited customization properties for sensing functions, nanorobotics is going to provide us with incredible sensing capabilities that we can integrate into our systems to monitor and measure everything around us.
Information Storage Devices : A bioengineer and geneticist at Harvard’s Wyss Institute has managed to store 5.5 petabits of data (about 700 terabytes) in a single gram of DNA, surpassing by 1,000 times the previous record for data density storable in DNA.
New energy systems: Nanorobotics could play an important role in developing more efficient renewable energy systems or making our current machines more energy efficient, requiring less energy to run at the same level or with the same energy function at a higher level.
Meta super strong materials: A team at Caltech has developed a new material, made on a nano scale, with interlocking struts. As if it were an Eiffel tower, it is one of the strongest and lightest substances ever created.
Smart windows and walls: electrochromic devices that, depending on the potential applied, change color. They are intended to be used for energy efficient smart windows to control the internal temperature of a room, clean themselves and other applications.
M icrosponges to clean oceans: a sponge, made of carbon nanotubes, capable of absorbing contaminants (fertilizers, pesticides, pharmaceuticals…) from the water. This project is three times more efficient than other previous initiatives and its study has been published in the journal Nanotechnology, from IOP Publishing.
Replicators or “molecular assemblers ”: devices capable of directing chemical reactions, managing to place reactive molecules with atomic precision.
Health sensors : they would monitor blood chemistry, notifying parameters out of control, detecting spoiled food, inflammation in the body and much more.

I was even more impressed when talking about the fight against cancer that this technology can achieve and other applications in medicine.

Bose QuietComfort® 45 – Perfect Balance of Silence, Comfort, and Superior Sound

Love at first listen. This is what you will feel when you put them on. Because the brand’s new headphones offer a listening experience out of the ordinary thanks to their high fidelity sound, their great comfort and the silence they are capable of generating.

Wireless and ergonomic, bring the noise cancellation technology Acoustic Noise Canceling ^TM with two modes Silent and alert, active equalization optimized according to the volume and TriPort architecture for a high – fidelity sound, along with a range of up to 24 hours.

November 2021.- BOSE , a leading company in the development and manufacture of audio products and technologies, has just introduced its Bose QuietComfort® 45 headphones .

And all this using bluetooth 5.1 technology, which gives them a stable and quality wireless connection of up to 9 meters.

It looks like magic, but it isn’t

It all starts with technology Acoustic Noise Canceling ^TM , which is the result of over 50 years of research by Bose. This is based on tiny microphones hidden in the headphones that constantly measure, compare and react to outside noise. That noise is then canceled out by emitting an opposite signal, resulting in fewer distractions so you can enjoy your music.

This technology is activated thanks to the button that is incorporated into the left earphone, which allows you to choose: the “Silent” mode , when complete noise cancellation is required; or the “Alert” mode , which allows you to hear what is happening in the environment thanks to the microphones that pick up the sound that is produced around the listener, reproducing itself naturally through the headphones and at a much more balanced and pleasant volume.

Intuitive controls

In addition to the noise cancellation button, these headphones have other controls. In this way, the multifunction button has been arranged on the right helmet, with which it is possible to pause or start playback, answer and end calls and even access the default virtual assistant of the mobile phone. The other buttons located on either side of this are the ones that allow you to control the volume and are located in an intuitive vertical orientation, up and down.

High fidelity sound

Music, podcasts and videos. Any content that the user chooses to listen to will have exclusive technologies from the company, such as, for example, the TriPort acoustic architecture and the optimized equalization according to the volume to produce content with high fidelity sound.

Specifically, the patented TriPort design aerates the shells to add depth and punch to the sound without increasing the size. Therefore, better sound is obtained with headphones that are smaller (18.4 × 15.24 × 7.62 cm), lighter (0.24 kg) and more comfortable. Plus, volume- optimized EQ boosts treble and bass to continue to deliver the same high-fidelity performance, no matter how loud you are. For its part, the bass remains powerful at a lower volume and the music is heard clearly at a higher volume.

Clearer conversations outdoors

With the addition of a fourth external microphone, the improved voice pickup of these headphones is assured, being the best in its class. Everything happens in real time, giving you the confidence of knowing your voice will sound clear, even in windy and noisy situations.

Comfort in detail

An incredible listening experience demands a level of comfort to match. That’s why these headphones continue to offer great value by focusing on every smallest detail.

Listen longer

This new model of headphones offers more playtime than its predecessors, providing up to 24 hours on a single charge. Everything the user needs to listen to music and enjoy calm, even during the longest trips. They can also be used by plugging them into the accompanying 3.5mm audio cable.

Finally, the Bose QuietComfort® 45 are available in black and smoke white and are marketed together with a carrying case, a USB-C type cable, and the aforementioned audio cable.

Bose QuietComfort® 45 RRP : 349 euros (VAT included)

About Bose Corporation:

Bose Corporation was founded in 1964 by Dr. Amar G. Bose. Bose is known for its home entertainment systems and speakers, its WAVE ^Ò products , its excellent in-car sound systems, its noise-reducing headphones for riders and drivers, and its sound installations for public spaces and musicians.
