The first data about energy-efficient mobile Alder Lake-N processors, which have not yet been officially presented by Intel, appeared in the web.We're talking about Core i3-N305 and Core i3-N300 models, which have eight cores each.It is noteworthy that the chips do not include high-performance P-core Golden Cove - the processors use only energy-efficient E-core Gracemont.Image source: VideoCardzData about the chips is still scarce.The Core i3-N305 has been noted in the synthetic benchmark Geekbench.It is indicated that the processor has a base frequency of 1.8 GHz and can automatically overclock to 3.78 GHz.Data about L1/L2 and L3 cache configuration confirms that the chip uses Gracemont cores architecture.Image source: Geekbanksh About Core i3-N300 chip except for the information about the number of cores and that it supports DDR4-3200 memory, nothing is known.Although you can also see that there is built-in Intel UHD graphics.Image source: GeekbenchIn the single-core Geekbench test, the Core i3-N305 model scores 1025 points, and in multi-core - 4420 points.So its performance is about the same as the Core i7-8750H (Coffee Lake).The latter has results in the same test are 974 and 4,438 points respectively.Image source: GeekbencheIf we compare with something more modern, the Core i3-N305 slightly outperforms the mobile Ryzen 7 5700U on the Zen 2 architecture in single-core performance, but is inferior in multi-core.AMD chip scores 1021 and 5433 points in the same tests, respectively.
Leak confirms that Intel's Raptor Lake processor family will have models on chips from Alder Lake
Another leak of Intel slides has confirmed earlier rumors that some models of Intel's 13th generation Core (Raptor Lake) processors will be built on older chips from Intel's 12th generation Core processors, aka Alder Lake.Image source: VideoCardzIt has been previously reported that the Core 13th generation Core processors will use three types of chips, with stepping B0, C0 and H0.The first will be used in all Core i9, Core i7 and older Core i5 with a \"K\" suffix.And the rest of Core i5 will get C0 chips, and base Core i3 will get H0 chips.Already then, it was assumed that only B0 chips will be built with new performance P-core Raptor Cove and energy efficient Gracemont E-core.The rest of the chips use Golden Cove and Gracemont cores, respectively, which are already used in Alder Lake processors.Now these rumors are indirectly confirmed. Image source: Igor'sLAB / 3DCenter.orgIntel's slide which has appeared in the Network confirms that the Raptor Lake processors will differ on the architectural level, as indicated by the increased amount of L2 and L3 cache memory on the higher chips.According to the slide, the increased L3 cache will get Core i5 processors and older, and the increase in L2 cache is announced only for the new Core i5 with \"K\" suffix and older chips.In other words, all of the newer generation CPUs will offer the same amount of cache as their predecessors.The Gracemont small E-core clusters in the Alder Lake processors each have 2 MB of L2 cache memory.Earlier leaks suggest that Gracemont cores in Raptor Lake chips will each have 4 Mbytes of L2 cache.Using the old Alder Lake (Golden Cove) architecture in the new Core i5-13400, Core i5-13500 and Core i5-13600 processors means they will have less IPC than models with Raptor Cove cores, which in turn will reduce their potential against new AMD Ryzen 7000 processors.
Intel Alder Lake system tested with Windows 11 and different Linux - Microsoft OS was slowest in 72% of tests
Phoronix has conducted a performance comparison test of the Intel Alder Lake platform with different operating systems.It turns out that under different Linux distributions the computer is in most cases faster than under the latest Windows 11.The tests were done with an Intel Core i9-12900K processor, ASUS ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi motherboard, 32GB (2x16GB) of DDR5-6000 memory, 500GB WD Black SN850 SSD and an AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics card.The configuration is one of the best by today's standards, able to handle both high resolution games and working applications, as well as working with content.For the performance comparison, Windows 11 Pro, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on the stable Linux 5.18 kernel, and Intel Clear Linux version 36580 were chosen.Image source: phoronix.comTestors ran a total of 103 tests, with Clear Linux being the clear victor, scoring maximum points in 55 cases (53.4%), second with 19 wins (18.4%) to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, third place went to Windows 11 with 16 top scores (15.5%) and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with Linux 5.18 only 13 wins (12.6%).Image source: phoronix.com Image source: phoronix.com Of course, a benchmark is not a benchmark, and for most average users of flagship chips, gaming tests can be decisive.On the other hand, it would be a mistake to ignore other tasks that determined the scoring in the test series: virtualization, data compression, rendering and video encoding - in all these cases, Linux family systems were faster.Taking the cumulative result for all tests, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS was 4 percent faster than Windows 11, and in the case of Clear Linux the gap widened to 8 percent.And Windows 11 was the worst performer in 72% of tests.
Core i9-12900KS review: the processor that eats like GeForce RTX 3080
Special Edition processors are not a new phenomenon, both AMD and Intel periodically released such products.However, for the last few years only Intel has been using this option.Under this brand it offers overclocked variants of flagships, which solve some marketing tasks, for example, give it formal grounds to declare itself a leader.For example, the last \"special processor\" Core i9-9900KS hit the market at the end of 2019, and its tasks included something to respond to the 12- and 16-core Ryzen.This response then turned out to be asymmetrical, since the superiority of AMD in multithreaded performance Intel countered the additional increase in gaming performance, but its audience Core i9-9900KS still found.Among the Core 10th and 11th generation processors no special models were released, but this does not mean that Intel has forgotten about the old practice.With the arrival of the Alder Lake family on the market, the company had in its hands an advanced processor design that allowed it to take over the initiative in the performance race.However, AMD's desire to introduce 3D V-Cache processors with significantly increased gaming potential made Intel worry that the hard-won leadership could slip their hands again.So the company decided to recall its old tricks and developed the Core i9-12900KS Special Edition, an unscheduled processor with legal overclocking up to 5.2-5.5GHz, meant to refute AMD's claims that Ryzen 7 5800X3D with 96-Mbyte L3-cache is the new king among gaming CPUs. However, it looks like some unproductive marketing activity provoked by some pinched ego, because the appearance of Core i9-12900KS is hardly able to change something fundamentally in market situation.Firstly, this processor is too different from Core i9-12900K by frequency characteristics, but it is significantly different from it by price.Secondly, the prefix Special Edition again means that in the name of ephemeral performance increase Intel has not only organized the selection of the most successful semiconductor chips, but also sacrificed thermal and power characteristics to quite a large extent.Nevertheless, Intel seems to be sure that the Core i9-12900KS will be bought anyway.At least while the last \"special\" processor was a limited edition, now there is no question about the finality of the supply.That is, the Core i9-12900KS is built into the existing range, and to find it on sale does not need to make any special efforts (of course, not about Russia).Another thing, it is not quite clear whether it is worth preferring the new flagship to the regular Core i9-12900K? ⇡#Core i9-12900KS in detailsBriefly speaking, Core i9-12900KS is an accelerated version of Core i9-12900K with the same core lineup (8 performance Golden Cove cores and 8 energy efficient Gracemont cores), but with slightly higher frequencies: P-core can take 5.2-5.5GHz, and E-core - 4.0GHz.Core i9-12900KSCore i9-12900KKKcores16 (8P+8E)16 (8P+8E)Fluxes2424 P-core frequencies, GHz3.4-5.53.2-5.2 E-core frequencies, GHz2.5-4.02.4-3.9PBP, W150125MTP, W241241L3-cache, Mbytes3030MemoryDDR4-3200 DDR5-4800DDR4-3200 DDR5-4800Inbuilt graphicsUHD 770UHD 770PCIe16 lines 5.0 4 lines 4.016 lines 5.0 4 lines 4.0Price$739$589The table shows that the Core i9-12900KS differs from the Core i9-12900K not only in frequencies but also in the PBP (Processor Base Power), which is the heat pack.It's supposed to be 20% hotter overall, while its marginal consumption should fit into the same MTP (Maximum Turbo Power) value of 241W.However, all these declarations have no practical value and are only formal.PBP and MTP values are not used by motherboard manufacturers, which completely breaks all limits of consumption for Intel's flagship processors.When announcing the Core i9-12900KS, Intel did not tell us about any technological differences from the Core i9-12900K, focusing only on the increased clock speed, which in turbo mode can reach 5.5 GHz.Nevertheless, this processor is not just a maximally overclocked version of the flagship Alder Lake.In addition to the selection of the most successful semiconductor chips and expanding the scope of the thermal package, another trick was used.The Core i9-12900KS sees the return of the widest possible set of automatic boosts that previous generations of Intel processors already had, but didn't have in Alder Lake.So the Core i9-12900KS for its P-core supports Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) and Adaptive Boost Technology (ABT), which Intel used last time
NZXT released N5 Z690 and N7 Z690 motherboards for Intel Alder Lake processors
NZXT introduced N5 Z690 and N7 Z690 motherboards for Intel Alder Lake processors.Both models look very similar, except for the different color schemes - black prevails in N5, white in N7.However, the novelties are also different in technical equipment.Image source: NZXTIt should be noted that both models use black textolite.Only the N7 model has more protective covers.The NZXT N5 Z690 is based on a 9-phase power subsystem.The N7 Z690 got a 13-phase power subsystem and is built on a higher quality textolite.In theory, the higher model will provide more stable performance when overclocking the components. Each card has three PCIe 5.0 x16 and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots.Both models support up to 128GB of DDR4-5000 RAM.The choice in favor of the old, but still relevant memory standard, is justified.Firstly, the boards were cheaper to produce and to the end customer.And secondly, DDR5 memory is still very expensive.Another difference between the boards is the number of M.2 slots for NVMe SSDs.The N5 model offers four M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots, and the N7 offers three.The number of SATA III (6 Gbit/s) slots is the same for both models - four each.The new models also have different sound codecs.The junior model has Realtek ALC897 8-channel, the senior - more modern 8-channel Realtek ALC1220 with Nichicon capacitors.The set of external connectors is also practically the same.The N5 Z690 model has one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, two USB 2.0, one HDMI 2.0, one LAN (RJ45).Moreover you can find here a button for quick BIOS Flashback firmware update.On its turn, N7 Z690 offers one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, two USB 2.0, one HDMI 2.0 and one LAN (RJ45).Both models are already available in NZXT Online Shop.The manufacturer has priced N5 Z690 at $240, and N7 Z690 at $300.

First tests of the 16-core mobile Core i7-12800HX - up to 15% faster than the Core i7-12700H, but almost no difference in gaming
Although new 16-core mobile Intel Alder Lake-HX processors designed for portable workstations and powerful gaming notebooks were only introduced a few days ago, Chinese publications are already starting to publish their reviews.For example, Chinese Golden Pig Upgrade Pack published a review of the Core i7-12800HX chip.Image source: Intel Intel notes that Alder Lake-HX series contains processors that are designed based on the same semiconductor chips that are used in desktop Alder Lake-S, but are optimized in terms of power consumption and transferred to BGA-package.There's another aspect that makes the mobile Alder Lake-HX chipsets similar to the desktop ones.They require a separate HM670 chipset on the laptop's motherboard, unlike the same mobile Alder Lake-P, where the chipset is built into a separate chip on the same substrate as the CPU's processing cores.Alder Lake-HX chips support 16 PCIe 5.0 lines for graphics card connection and 4 PCIe 4.0 lines for NVMe SSD.Support for an additional 16 PCIe 4.0 lanes and 12 PCIe 3.0 lanes is provided by the chipset.The presence of the Intel HM670 chipset can be seen in the photo below (compact chip circled in red), which also features the NVIDIA GN20-E6 GPU, the backbone of the mobile GeForce RTX 3070 Ti.On the right side of the photo is the Core i7-12800HX. The laptop board is based on the Core i7-12800HX.Image source: Golden Pig Upgrade RaskThe difference between the mobile BGA and desktop LGA chip packaging is also there.The former is 2.2 mm thinner than the desktop version.Some SMD components of the mobile version of the chip have been moved to a different location on the substrate.However, the chip itself with the computing cores is in the same place, in the center.Alder Lake processors with a core formula 8P+8E.Image source: VideoCardzThe Chinese reviewer has reviewed two identical Lenovo Y9000P gaming laptops equipped with GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics gas pedals, as well as the same amount of DDR5-4800 RAM.The only difference between the laptops is in the processors.One uses a 14-core Core i7-12700H (Alder Lake-P) and the other uses a 16-core Core i7-12800HX (Alder Lake-HX).The PL1 and PL2 power consumption limits for the Alder Lake-P chip are 115 and 135 watts, while the Alder Lake-HX model is increased to 125 and 175 watts, respectively.The Core i7-12800HX offers nearly identical single-threaded performance to the Core i7-12700H.However, its multi-threaded performance is on average 15% better.

Intel introduced 16-core mobile processors - 12th generation Core HX family
Intel introduced Alder Lake-HX - mobile processors designed for powerful workstation-class notebooks.The flagship of the family, the Core i9-12950HX, is the first mobile 16-core CPU (with eight efficient and eight power efficient cores) which can run at speeds up to 5.0 GHz.Intel says that such powerful processors may be of interest not only to professionals, but also to gamers.According to Daniel Rogers, senior director of mobile product marketing in Intel's client computing division, although the best mobile gaming processor is the Core i9-12900HK, the new HX series is also good for gaming notebooks.The 12th-generation Core HX series includes seven models with 8 to 16 cores and core formulas of 8P+8E, 6P+8E, 4P+8E and 4P+4E.All of them have quite high frequencies.High-performance cores can turbocharge to 4.4GHz-5.0GHz, depending on model, and power-efficient cores can run up to 3.1-3.6GHz.At the same time, all CPUs in the series have the same thermal package of 55W and a maximum consumption in turbo mode of 157W. As explained by Intel representatives, the Alder Lake-HX series combines processors designed on the basis of desktop semiconductor chips.In fact, it is the same desktop Alder Lake, but optimized in terms of energy efficiency and transferred to a BGA-package.So these processors have 16 PCIe 5.0 lanes for graphics card connectivity and 4 PCIe 4.0 lanes for NVMe SSDs.This deserves a separate mention because mobile processors like the Core i9-12900HK do not support the PCIe 5.0 bus.That said, Alder Lake-HX processors don't have a built-in Thunderbolt 4 controller. Alder Lake-HX-based systems are capable of running DDR5/LPDDR5 (up to 4800/5200 MHz) and DDR4/LPDDR4 (up to 3200/4267 MHz) memory.Capacities of up to 128GB are available.All 12th Gen Core HX models are overclockable (with some restrictions), and allow you to overclock the memory attached to them.According to the official data, the Core i9-12900HX in work applications outperforms the Core i9-12900HK, i9-11980HK and Ryzen R9-6900HX, but the exact scale of the advantage is not named. In addition, Intel cited results from testing the Core i9-12900HX in games with a GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card and DDR5-4800 memory, citing triple-digit FPS scores in popular games. Mobile workstations based on 12th generation Core HX series processors will soon be released by Dell, HP, Lenovo and other manufacturers.
Intel head says that Alder Lake processor family allowed the company to overtake AMD forever
In mid-February of last year, Patrick Gelsinger was appointed CEO of Intel. To celebrate the approaching of a symbolic milestone, he decided to video message to the LinkedIn audience in which he announced that with the release of the Alder Lake processor family, the company he headed had forever regained leadership in the consumer segment.
Gelsinger has previously acknowledged at various reporting events that even before the release of the Alder Lake processors, Intel had started to regain its lost market position, but now he is convinced that this family has a decisive role in maintaining this trend. «Alder Lake. Unexpectedly… Boom! We are back in the game, & ; emotionally illustrates the head of Intel to strengthen the company's position in the consumer sector, & ; AMD remains in the rearview mirror in the client segment and never more appear in front of the windshield, we will simply lead the market». The head of Intel does not abandon the ambition to master five new technological processes in four years. By early 2025 the company expects to offer customers the Intel 18A process. In an address to his colleagues Gelsinger also said that at this stage there is no better manager for Intel and he would do the best for the company in this position.

What makes the special version of the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition stand out is not only the design, but also the equipment. Inspired by the theme of space exploration, ASUS wanted to reflect in this special version of the laptop man's desire for new discoveries. In 1997 it released laptop P6300, which traveled to outer space on board of Russian orbital space station «Mir». It spent over 600 days in orbit and proved to be a very reliable tool for work.
New ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition has Morse code encoded message in Latin "Per Aspera Ad Astra»" or "Through Thorns to the Stars". The packaging of the device also has an unusual appearance, and it is suggested not to throw away the box from the laptop accessories, but to use it as a coaster. Completing the design is an unusual color of the device, which the company called Zero-G Titanium.
The laptop has an additional 3.5-inch ZenVision 3.5-inch OLED screen with 256 × 64 resolution and 150 cd/m2 brightness, located on the lid. It can display an image that mimics a spacecraft porthole with a view into outer space. It can also display the time, battery status, various text and the user's name. The basis of the display & ; 14-inch OLED-matrix with an aspect ratio of 16:10, supporting a resolution of 2880 × 1800, refresh rate of 90 Hz, response time of 0.2 ms and a peak brightness of 550 cd/m2.

Mobile Core i5-1250P is roughly equal to desktop AMD Ryzen 5800X in single-core Geekbench test
The Alder Lake-P mobile power-efficient processor has impressive performance, if freshly published data from the Geekbench 5 synthetic test is to be believed. In the single-core test, the upcoming Core i5-1250P showed almost identical results to the desktop AMD Ryzen 5800X.
Mobile Intel Alder Lake will be able to offer up to 14 physical cores: up to six high-performance P cores and up to eight energy-efficient E cores. The chips will be divided into two main subcategories. Alder Lake-H models with higher TDP and speeds, such as the Core i7-12700H, will be destined for high-performance gaming laptops. Alder Lake-P models with lower TDP, frequencies and number of cores, like the same Core i5-1250P, will be designed for thin and energy-efficient laptop models.
The Core i5-1250P processor gets 12 cores with support for 16 threads and 18 Mbytes of L3 cache memory. That is, it uses four P-core and eight E-core, and according to Geekbench 5 call this chip low-performance. In the single-core test Core i5-1250P showed a score of 1611 points, and in multi-core & ; 8789 points.
By comparison, the desktop Ryzen 7 5800X shows 1672 points in the same single-core test, only 6.8% higher than the Intel chip. The difference is not so big to call it significant. However, in multi-core test the Core i5-1250P is noticeably inferior to Ryzen processor, which shows a score of 10 347 points. But still they are «different weight categories
[GB5 CPU] Unknown CPU: Intel Core i5-1250P (12C 16T) Min/Max/Avg: 3715/4368/3947 MHz Codename: Alder Lake CPUID: 906A2 (GenuineIntel) Scores, vs AMD 5800X Single: 1611, -6.8% Multi: 8789, -18.2%https://t.co/qm8uZ1gffl & ; Benchleaks (@BenchLeaks) December 27, 2021
The single-core performance of the Core i5-1250P is quite impressive, especially considering that this processor is likely to be used in ordinary laptops for everyday tasks rather than inside professional workstations. Equally interesting is the fact that the Intel chip has a much lower base frequency of 2.10GHz compared to the Ryzen 7 5800X, which has a base frequency value of 3.8GHz. Unfortunately, Geekbench does not indicate the exact maximum frequency of the Core i5-1250P. We can assume that it is at the level of 4.4 GHz.
Engineering samples of junior Intel Alder Lake-S were faster than AMD counterparts
One of the users of Chinese forum Chiphell has shared test results of qualification (pre-release) samples of quad-core Intel Core i3-12100 and Core i3-12300 processors, consumer versions of which will be officially unveiled next week. A six-core Core i5-12400 model, which is waiting for an announcement, also got into the comparative test. Younger Intel Alder Lake processors were compared with actual AMD's solutions.
Qualifying samples of Alder Lake-S processors labeled QYVQ, QYVR, QYHW and QTVM have been tested. Each of them is likely to have characteristics as close to the consumer versions as possible.
Curiously enough, the Chinese insider also has two versions of Core i5-12400 processor C0 and H0 revisions qualification samples at once. The last one is to be based on Alder Lake chip without power efficient cores. The first one uses «trimmed» crystal, which is used in already released older models of Core 12th generation processors, with small cores. There is no difference in performance between these versions of the chips. The differences lie only in the level of power consumption and heat dissipation. However, according to the Chinese reviewer, these indicators are not critical.
Gaming performance of the younger Alder Lake models was up to 33% higher than that of the younger AMD models. Among the latter were Renoir chips on Zen 2 architecture, as well as Cezanne on Zen 3. In «synthetics» Intel novelties were inferior even to Ryzen 3 5350G. According to the reviewer, the situation will not change until AMD does not release new Renoir-X models without integrated graphics. According to Chinese insider, the Intel Core i3-12100 and Core i3-12100 processors will cost about $125–141. The review also notes that the six-core Core i5-12400 could be a direct competitor to the Ryzen 5 5600G desktop hybrid processor. The Ryzen 5 5600X in turn offers better performance in some games, but not always in «synthetic».
AMD will not bet on big.LITTLE architecture and is skeptical about Alder Lake.
In this half of the year Intel has ceased to hide the fact that preparing for the announcement by next fall consumer processors Alder Lake will use a hybrid architecture with a combination of large and compact cores. But AMD believes that the time of such layouts has not yet come to the desktop segment, although it keeps a hand on the pulse of trends.
Image Source: Intel
As AMD corporate vice president and chief product officer Joe Macri explains, the concept of big.LITTLE itself has been on the market for more than fifteen years and is not new, but to make it successful in the consumer sector, operating systems and software must be radically redesigned. Existing task schedulers tend to be symmetrical and it's difficult to effectively manage data flows for large and small cores simultaneously. The AMD representative refused to discuss even the theoretical time frame for implementing such a hybrid layout in the company's processors, but admitted that it will never use such an architecture only for marketing purposes. "We will not do this just to get more cores," Joe Makri explained. Adding the number of cores at the expense of small functional blocks, he said, would be meaningless as long as their resources could not be used efficiently by the software ecosystem. The success that AMD has now achieved with "big" cores, according to Makri, could not have been achieved with "small" cores. Over time, he admits, AMD may need to use small cores, but the software must be fundamentally rebuilt by then. If such changes are not visible to the end consumer, there is no point in implementing them.

Calculating the Mass Number of an Atom with 5 Protons and 7 Neutrons
Have you ever wondered how scientists calculate the mass number of an atom? Well, wonder no more! In this post, we’ll look at a simple example of how to calculate the mass number of an atom with 5 protons and 7 neutrons.
First, let’s define what we mean by “mass number.” The mass number of an atom is simply the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of that atom. This number is important because it helps us identify the specific type of element we’re dealing with.
So, back to our example: we have an atom with 5 protons and 7 neutrons. To calculate the mass number, we simply add these two numbers together:
Mass Number = Number of Protons + Number of Neutrons
In this case, our equation looks like this:
Mass Number = 5 + 7
Mass Number = 12
Therefore, the mass number of our atom with 5 protons and 7 neutrons is 12. Easy, right?
It’s worth noting that while the mass number gives us a good idea of the overall mass of an atom, it doesn’t tell us anything about the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus. That information is given by the atomic number, which is simply the number of protons in the nucleus. So, for our atom with 5 protons, the atomic number would be 5.
In summary, calculating the mass number of an atom is a simple matter of adding up the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. By doing so, we can identify the element we’re dealing with and get a better understanding of its properties.

The US Office of Naval Research-funded shipboard-capable compact launch and recovery system (CLRE) has successfully completed final flight testing in eastern Oregon.
CLRE has been designed to provide shipboard capability and small-scale solution to support operations of the unmanned surveillance aircraft.
ONR’s air vehicle technology programme manager John Kinzer said: "It’s more compact than other systems, so you can install it on a small special operations boat, or save additional space on a larger ship, since space is always at a premium on any vessel."
Using compressed-air launcher, the system can launch UAVs to perform transmission of real-time electro-optic and infrared (IR) imagery to a ground station for recording and analysis.
On completion of its mission, the UAV can be retrieved with rope suspended from the system’s extendable mast and arms, which holds onto small hooks on the aircraft’s wings.
CLRE launcher is compatible with all Scan Eagle UAV designs, including those equipped with an IR camera and can deliver similar rates of successful air vehicle recovery.
Smaller and lighter than the existing SuperWedge launcher and Skyhook recovery systems combined, the system can be folded up for storage once the mission is accomplished.
Modified versions of the ScanEagle are also being explored by the company to enable rapid deployment.
Designed to provide advanced capabilities for warfighter’s real-time situational awareness and force protection information, the low-cost, long-endurance UAV is currently undergoing testing in trailer mounted to validate its ease of towing behind ground vehicles.
Jointly developed by Boeing and Insitu, the ScanEagle UAS can support special services operations, escort operations, protection of sea-lane and convoy, high-value and secure installations, as well as the relay of high-speed wireless voice, video and data communications.

The PolySense team has just published a new article on Photoacoustics Journal Elsevier (IF 7.9) reporting on folded-optics-based quartz-enhanced photoacoustic and photothermal hybrid spectroscopy (FO-QEPA-PTS).
In FO-QEPA-PTS, the detection of the photoacoustic and photothermal hybrid signal is achieved through the use of a custom quartz tuning fork (QTF). A multi-laser beam, created by a multi-pass cell (MPC) with a designed single-line spot pattern, partially strikes the inner edge of the QTF and partially passes through the prong of the QTF, thereby generating photoacoustic and photothermal hybrid signals. To assess the performance of FO-QEPA-PTS, 1 % acetylene is selected as the analyte gas and the 2f signals produced by the photoacoustic, the photothermal, and their hybrid effects are measured. Comparative analysis against QEPAS and QEPTS reveals signal gain factors of ∼ 79 and ∼ 14, respectively, when these laser beams created by MPC excite the QTF operating at fundamental resonance mode in phase. In the FO-QEPA-PTS signal, the proportions of the photoacoustic and the photothermal effects induced by the multiple beams are ∼7 % and 93 %, respectively.

The company stated that the commissioning of the plant, which currently has a production capacity of 100 MWh (megawatt hour) annually, is aimed at reducing dependence on China.
The company further stated that the objective is to increase the production capacity at the new plant multifold in the coming months.
Recently, Inverted Energy launched a new range of Lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and home energy storage, among others.
â€śDuring the lockdown, we realised the drawback of depending on the foreign markets and have worked towards building capabilities, strengthening the team, and working harder resulting in this achievement,â€ť said Rahul Raj, co-founder of Inverted Energy. â€śWith this capacity addition, the company has extended its journey towards Atmanirbhar Bharat and to create a flexible, cost-effective and optimised market space aiming to reduce dependency (for batteries) on China,â€ť he added.
Various states in India are coming up with new plans related to electric vehicles, with Telangana recently launching its EV policy exempting road tax for the first two lakh electric vehicles, Raj said. He added, â€śWe want to drive the change towards lithium-ion batteries that are more reliable, cost-effective, durable, and made-in-India.â€ť
Focused on EVs ( both 2- and 3-wheelers), home storage and solar batteries, this plant will help Inverted achieve the required deliverables in terms of quantity and product quality satisfying increased market demand, the company said.
In the next phase, the company is planning for backward integration of its batteries and developing a customised in-house battery management system, it added.
Recently, India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) in its latest market analysis had predicted (that driven by the economic slowdown induced by the Coronavirus pandemic) a delay in the penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) in the Indian automobile industry. And, among other factors, the analysts claim that battery remains the most critical component of an EV due to both cost viability (30-40 percent of EV cost is ofÂ battery) and technological expertise.

The necessity of industry cnc parts in every manufacturing industries is growing. Industrial robots have replaced humankind in numerous industries. Robots out perform humans in jobs which require precision, speed, endurance and reliability. Robots safely perform dirty and dangerous jobs. Traditional manufacturing robotic applications include material handling (pick and put), assembling, painting, welding, packaging, palletizing, product inspection and testing. Industrial robots are being used within a diverse array of industries including automotive, electronics, medical, food production, biotech, pharmaceutical and machinery.
The ISO concise explanation of a manipulating industrial robot is “an automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose manipulator”. Based on the definition it can be fixed into position or mobile for use in industrial automation applications. These industrial robots are programmable in three or more axes. They may be multi-functional items that may be custom-built and programmed to do a selection of operations.
The main features of industrial robots is that they might be designed to suit industry specific requirements and will work continuously for a long time, consistently meeting high manufacturing quality standards. The economic lifespan of your industrial robot is approximately 12-16 years. Due to their persistent accuracy industrial robots have become an indispensable part of manufacturing.
Industrial robots are classified into different categories according to their mechanical structure. The key types of industrial robots are:
Gantry (Cartesian) Robot: They can be stationary robots having three components of motion. They work from an overhead grid having a rectangular work envelope. These are mainly employed to perform ‘pick and place’ actions. Gantry robots supply their axes on top of the work which makes them also well suited for dispensing applications.
SCARA Robots: (Selectively Compliant Articulated Robot Arm) These robots have 4 axes of motion. They move within an x-y-z coordinated circular work envelope. One can use them for proximity sensor requiring pick and put work, application and assembly operations and handling machine tools.
Articulated robots: An articulated robot has rotary joints. It could have from two to ten or higher interactive joints. Articulated robots are well suited to welding, painting and assembly.
Basic industrial robot designs could be customized with adding different peripherals. End effectors, optical systems, and motion controllers are very important accessories. End effectors are the end-of-arm-tooling (EOAT) connected to robotic arms. Grippers or wrenches that are utilized to move or assemble parts are instances of end effectors. End effectors are hc03bt and utilized to sense and connect with the external environment. The final effectors’ design is dependent upon the application form requirements in the specific industry. Machine Vision systems are robotic optical systems. They may be built-on digital input/output devices and computer networks employed to control other hc103bt-sz such as robotic arms. Machine vision is commonly used for your inspection of manufactured goods including semiconductor chips. Motion controllers are employed to move robots and position stages smoothly and accurately with sub-micron repeatability.

The common day SMT technique has made it possible for the process of PCB assembly to become streamlined and approachable. Amongst the many different modes of printed circuit board assembly, this is the most novel and advanced technique, hence it is being used across the world.
It is one of the most widely used techniques for the purpose of PCB assembly and the reasons for the same are:
Cost affectivity- SMT has proven to the cost effective as compared to the older methods of PCB assembly. The point to point and thru-hole methods have long been used in the industry, but are considered to be costlier; hence the introduction of SMT technique was able to save so much money for electronic manufacturers.
Ease of usage: Besides being extremely cost efficient, the use of SMT is also prevalent because of the ease with which it can be used. It is much easier to install and assemble that any of the processes used earlier.
Long term solutions- The use of SMT is also very commonly preferred these days because it is long-staying effects that can be seen relied upon.


Capturing semantic relations between sentences, such as entailment, is a long-standing challenge for computational semantics. Logic-based models analyse entailment in terms of possible worlds (interpretations, or situations) where a premise P entails a hypothesis H iff in all worlds where P is true, H is also true. Statistical models view this relationship probabilistically, addressing it in terms of whether a human would likely infer H from P. In this paper, we wish to bridge these two perspectives, by arguing for a visually-grounded version of the Textual Entailment task. Specifically, we ask whether models can perform better if, in addition to P and H, there is also an image (corresponding to the relevant “world” or “situation”). We use a multimodal version of the SNLI dataset (Bowman et al., 2015) and we compare “blind” and visually-augmented models of textual entailment. We show that visual information is beneficial, but we also conduct an in-depth error analysis that reveals that current multimodal models are not performing “grounding” in an optimal fashion.

how do you trigger the reach m+ with a camera without a flash shoe. for instance, the agricam or mapir camera for ndvi mapping has a trigger input from the flight controller but no flash output.
You can use an Arduino to create a multi type trigger, i.e a pwm trigger for a mapir and a reach detectable trigger.
Tou can generate the trigger either from an external event (DJI Phantom LED blink for example) or a fixed time period.
Do you then send the signal to the Time Mark or GPIO on an M+
May I ask you to clarify your question? The time mark pin is used for saving time stamps, it should be connected to camera hot-shoe.
I’m trying to trigger from an Arduino, not a hot shoe. Using the GPIO is the best way, however, I can send a 3.3v signal to Time Mark if necessary.
What input current goes to the Time Mark input, 100mA?
It’s better to send a signal to Time Mark pin directly, cause it allows you to make more precise time measurement.
Time Mark pin is open drain. You just need to switch it to the ground to record a time mark.
Have you at emlid done testing to confirm the that the actual accuracy of the time mark recording lives up to the expectation? I’ve posted another topic about it and my time marks look suspiciously ordinary. Like there’s some kind of pattern to the rounding, and not nearly the randomness I’d expect to see.
From my other post:
I posted a clarification in the other thread for my same post as directly above. I’ll do that here too, so no one sees this as unresolved.
I think the emlid/u-blox timing is very accurate/precise. What I think I’m seeing is that the flashing of the LED lights on the P4, which I’m recording as events, is driven by pretty stable timing. They are also only coming on at intervals which seem to be spaced at multiples of 0.04 seconds. This seems to occur whether triggered manually or automatically. I see this timing behaviour now with a P4P, P4A and P4.
So it seems like I have to live with 0.12m uncertainty at 3m/s flight speed, 0.24m uncertainty at 6m/s, and so on and so forth.
My logging also seems to suggest very consistent response times of photoresistors. Photodiodes are supposed to be quicker to respond, but in this application where you’ll be applying an offset backwards in time anyways, It’s irrelevant how quickly you capture the secondary event. A secondary event which is delayed anyway after the real event you are interested in.
This won’t matter soon anyways as the boss has green-lighted a P4 RTK. Side-by-side testing will confirm or sink my 0.04s interval hypothesis. Which will show up as reductions in the along-track residuals after processing. Exciting times.
The LED goes off prior to shutter operations, so I estimated about a 30ms uncertainty. Glad to see it is probably tighter than that.
sorry, I edited my post. I meant to say that the LEDs are coming back on at 0.04 second intervals. I’m recording them coming back on as my event, so I have to offset this time event record backwards.
Simon, are you detecting the going off of the LEDs? and if you are, can you tell me what your estimated delay to middle of exposure is? Just interested to see if it’s same as delay to LED coming back on.
Depends on the model and the shutter speed.
With the P4 with rolling shutter, of which I have experience, the ‘roll’ take 33ms, seemingly independent of actual shutter speed. I haven’t investigated much further. My module has been superceded by more sophisticated methods. Also I kinda came around to the idea that a good camera calibration and GCP’s was a far more robust solution.
I believe the 33ms has, at least, been documented on pix4d website.
Did you determine that the rolling shutter starts the instant the LED goes off? I was wondering if the image capture was in the middle of the LED shutdown. I estimated the LED comes back on about 0.194 seconds after the middle of the image capture. At least, this value gave me the smallest residuals during photogrammetric processing.
Sorry for the delayed response! As I see you’ve already figured it out. Anyway, let me confirm your thoughts.
Time marks are recorded with nanosecond accuracy. Time mark pin is connected to u-blox chip directly what allows to get such precise measurements.
With LED connection there will be a delay after the shutter triggers as there is no direct connection.

HP revealed the 21.5-inch Slate 21 all-in-one (AIO) tablet at its HP World Tour event in Beijing today. The device is powered by NVIDIA’s Tegra 4 processor and runs the latest Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS.
The large 1920 x 1080-pixel HD display is intended for desktop use, and the design features a large kickstand. It also sports one Ethernet and two USB ports, Wi-Fi connectivity but no battery, meaning you’ll have to plug in the Slate 21 to use it.
The redesigned NVIDIA Tegra 4 processor offers enhanced graphics performance, which HP notes should make the Slate 21 great for gaming. However, considering that this is an Android device, gaming options for the tablet will be pretty limited when compared to a true PC. The idea of a budget-friendly Android-powered desktop computer is interesting, but Google’s mobile OS doesn’t seem comparable to a genuine PC operating system, at least for now.
The Slate 21 will hit the Asian markets next month starting at $359. It’s unclear if the tablet will be available in the U.S. or other regions.

2D Materials: A New Platform to Realize “Quantum Light-Matter”
Atomically thin materials, such as graphene and transitional metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), have recently come to the forefront of research in materials physics. This is largely due to the ease with which they can be combined into artificially engineered heterostructures that exhibit emergent electronic and optical properties. Enhanced Coulomb interactions in the truly 2D limit makes TMDs, such as MoSe2/WSe2, promising to explore correlated quantum phases of matter. Moreover, the same interactions also lead to very strong light-matter couplings, resulting in rich exciton physics and half-light, half-matter polaritonic states. Finally, the presence of non-trivial geometry and topology in electronic and optical states of these materials is an additional ingredient to realize coupled phases of quantum light and matter – quantum light-matter – that are not only interesting from a fundamental perspective but can also have applications in quantum information processing applications.
In this talk, I will begin by highlighting some unique properties of optical excitations in TMDs which result from the chiral nature of constituent single-particle electronic states. The confinement of these optical excitations in TMD heterostructures results in quantum emitters whose emission energy can be tuned. Moreover, few-body and many-body dipolar interactions amongst them is promising for realizing on-demand quantum matter in a driven-dissipative setting.

CableLabs has selected “packet bonding” over a rival technique for the emerging DOCSIS 3.0 specification and modular-cable modem termination system (M-CMTS) architecture.
News of the packet bonding selection first appeared last week in Cable Digital News. A CableLabs official confirmed that a selection had been made, but declined to be more specific. A range of sources familiar with the situation confirmed that the cable industry’s Louisville, Colo.-based R&D house selected packet bonding over a competing proposal called “MPEG bonding.”
Although DOCSIS 3.0 and the M-CMTS project are somewhat independent, they do work together on the facet of channel bonding, a technique that will enable cable operators to offer speeds of 100 Mbps and greater, and therefore, provide a competitive foil to new fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) technologies. The modular CMTS architecture enables the CMTS to share edge QAM resources for video-on-demand and DOCSIS-based data applications.
Channel bonding “is a lynchpin of both pieces – DOCSIS 3.0 and the modular CMTS,” said CableLabs Chief Technology Officer Ralph Brown. “The important thing is that the decision was made, and it was a significant one. The [DOCSIS 3.0] project is moving ahead at a rapid pace.”
Vendors such as Motorola Inc. and ARRIS have been championing the packet bonding technique, while Cisco Systems and silicon startup BroadLogic have been seen in the MPEG bonding camp. CED offered an in-depth technical primer on the subject in the April issue.
The decision to go with packet bonding does not impact the product plans of BroadLogic, according to company President & CEO Tony Francesca. BroadLogic is building a wideband receiver chip for customer premise devices (CPEs), not CMTSs that reside on the cable network.
“We anticipated that there would be many flavors of channel bonding…and we made sure that our implementation is adaptable and compliant to those moving forward,” Francesca said. “We’ve implanted a specific implementation that gets to that objective [DOCSIS 3.0] while being indifferent to the channel bonding part of it. When it comes to time-to-market and cost, we think we have the lowest cost and best performance [product]. Channel bonding is just one piece of it.”
Many believe the decision was based partly on the fact that packet bonding gives operators a faster time-to-market because the technique can be deployed with existing technologies. Legacy CMTSs, for example, can support packet bonding with a software revision. Modem vendors can also support multiple channels, though they have to combine cards and silicon, which adds costs. Down the road, modem vendors will have the financial benefit of using a new class of cable modem silicon that condenses the function on a smaller (and cheaper) form factor.
“MPEG bonding requires software changes at the CMTS and the cable modem, but packet bonding can be implemented in software-only at the CMTS. It is potentially implementable at the cable modem with multiple cable modem chips,” explained Mike Patrick, a data-networking architect at Motorola.
Although DOCSIS 3.0 will help North American cable operators compete with new fiber-fed services, the technology behind it is needed first in Asia and Europe, where cable is under fierce speed and pricing competition with DSL and fiber-based service providers.
“Eventually the requirement will be strong for deployment purposes in the U.S…but the burning desire to have products on the street is outside the U.S. right now,” Francesca said.
ARRIS has pre-standard and pre-general availability channel bonding products in the field today. “It’s not like we’re mass-producing it in the factor yet, but the bottom line is that it is usable by real customers. We’ll have product coming out based on channel bonding by the fourth quarter,” said Tom Cloonan, chief technology officer of ARRIS’ broadband division, which first demonstrated its “FlexPath” technology at the 2004 National Show, and again at last month’s show in San Francisco. On the modem front, ARRIS initially will introduce a four-channel cable modem, though it plans to offer models that bond together even more channels.
Other vendors will most certainly follow suit with new classes of modems that support channel bonding, and probably not a moment too soon.
“We have outgrown the 10-year-old single channel cable modem. It’s obsolete,” said Jeff Huppertz, BroadLogic’s vice president of marketing and business development.
