1 Facebook has developed a tool called Voicebox, an artificial intelligence that can perfectly imitate any voice. The tool can edit audio files, remove unwanted sounds and simulate sound based on a sample. Voicemail can be used to convert written text to speech in many different languages. Although the tool has many uses, it can also present privacy and security risks.
2 Sennheiser introduces SoundProtex earplugs that produce perfectly balanced sound with detail across the frequency range, protecting the user and their hearing from damage. Thanks to the patented membrane filter technology, users can enjoy music without fear of damaging their hearing.
3 Samsung Display releases Rollable Flex, a flexible screen that rolls and folds into a compact form. When folded, it displays a 49mm tall image, and when unfolded, its height increases five times to 254.4mm. This makes it ideal for corporate presentations.
4 Acer launches ebii, an electric bicycle that uses artificial intelligence and radar to provide users with a safe and comfortable ride. Weighing only 16 kg, the bike is ergonomically designed and safe. The LED screen in the middle of the steering wheel shows important information while driving. The battery and control system are housed in a compact control box. The Ebii bike is equipped with a long-lasting replaceable battery that can travel 110 km and charges 100% in just 2.5 hours. Artificial intelligence constantly monitors energy consumption, which helps extend battery life for more efficient daily use. The battery can be removed from the case and used as a portable charger for other devices. The ergonomic handle can also be attached to the battery for convenient transportation. The Ebii bike locks automatically when it detects that the phone is out of range. Security features are subject to availability.
5 The world’s first almost entirely 3D-printed rocket was launched into space on March 22 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Although Terran 1 did not reach orbit, its first flight was a remarkable achievement. The rocket, which is as tall as a typical 10-story communist-era — 33.5 meters to be exact — lifted smoothly from the launch pad. It quickly climbed onto liquid methane-oxygen fuel and operated flawlessly until the rocket and first stage ejected. The remainder of the flight was powered by the second stage engine. Unfortunately, it didn’t work very long and Terran 1 didn’t make it to space. Despite this, the flight was extremely successful. First launches of launchers are rarely 100% successful. Additionally, and most importantly, Relativity Space, a startup founded by Tim Ellis, an engineer who used to work for Jeff Bezosand#039; Blue Origin was able to build a fairly large rocket with 85% of its components 3D printed, including a very large one that Relativity Space developed for metal printing. This technology could be a breakthrough for the aerospace industry. Rockets can be printed in 60 days, while conventionally built rockets typically take over a year or more. Terran 1 is designed to send small satellites with a maximum mass of just over one ton, or about the weight of a car. However, Relativity Space is working on a much larger reusable rocket, the Terran R, which can carry a 20-ton payload, putting it in the same class as SpaceX’s Falcon 9. However, we have to wait for the completion of this project; there is still a long way to go. Tim Ellis believes his company’s 3D printing technology for large metal parts could have a big impact on many industries – including aerospace and automotive, oil and wind farm construction.
