La fuente de benceno tóxico en la ISS puede estar en el módulo de EE.UU.

Aumento de los niveles de benceno tóxico en la atmósfera Estación Espacial Internacional podría haber causado un purificador de aire en uno de los módulos de EE.UU., informó Nasa.
En mayo "Roscosmos"RIA Novosti informó de un aumento de las concentraciones de benceno en la atmósfera de la ISS, que no supera la norma máxima permitida y no amenaza a la tripulación.
En junio, la NASA anunció una medición de los niveles de benceno en el módulo Russian Star utilizando un dispositivo estadounidense de calidad del aire, el A-M. Roscosmos confirmó este hecho a RIA Novosti. Más tarde, según la NASA, el intercambio aéreo en la ISS entre los segmentos ruso y estadounidense se detuvo temporalmente para buscar la fuente de benceno.
"En un intento de reducir los niveles de benceno, los filtros de carbón se instalarán en el módulo Unity en la atmósfera", dijo la NASA en un comunicado en su sitio web.
La tripulación de filtros de carbón recogió del módulo BEAM inflable. Los astronautas reemplazarán al limpiador de micro-impurezas CHIPS en el módulo Unity.
El benceno es un líquido incoloro con un olor dulce específico. Es parte de la gasolina y se utiliza para la producción de medicamentos, plásticos, caucho sintético y tintes. Tóxico y cancerígeno.
Los cosmonautas rusos están trabajando actualmente en la ISS Anatoly Ivanishin Y Ivan Wagnerasí como los astronautas estadounidenses Christopher CassidyDouglas Hurley y Robert Benken.

HP Omen Lineup to Include Backpack PC

Image
Yesterday HP revealed their new lineup of gaming PCs under the Omen name, but on top of the desktop and laptop machines already shown off, there is one more machine to join the Omen lineup, a backpack PC. The backpack PC is designed to be VR-ready, allowing VR players to free themselves from the tethers of a nearby desktop in order to fully immerse themselves in the VR world. The details on Omen’s backpack PC are currently scarce, with the system still in active development, but it is known that this portable setup will include an Intel i5 or i7 processor, as much as 32GB of RAM. The graphics cards on offer for the system are currently unknown, if other Omen devices are any indication it will likely be one of nVidia’s offerings with enough power to comfortably run an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive headset. Backpack PCs have one main downside though, battery life. In order to keep the system powered, a belt carrying two batteries will be required, one to power the CPU and the othe

iPhone X Face ID Unable to Tell Two Chinese Woman Apart

Apple touts their iPhone X’ Face ID security feature as being more highly secure than their previous Touch ID technology. Instead of using a finger print scanner, Face ID uses infrared and visible light scans. This supposedly uniquely identifies the user’s face and can even work in a variety of conditions. In fact, Apple publicly provides a whitepaper providing details on how the technology works. Since its release however, there are some claims that it is not nearly as effective as it could be. A cybersecurity firm even demonstrated that it is possible to fool Apple’s biometric security measures with a 3D-printable mask. However, it appears that you don’t even need security expertise to create a spoofing mask to bypass Face ID. As two women in the Eastern Chinese city of Nanjing, China found out, the iPhone X has trouble telling them apart. Jiangsu Broadcasting Corporation reports that the woman , who only wanted to be named by her surname Yan, has been offered a th
