Magnetorheological fluid Schematic of a magnetorheological fluid solidifying and blocking a pipe in response to an external magnetic field. (Animated version available.) A magnetorheological fluid (MR fluid) is a type of smart fluid in a carrier fluid, usually a type of oil. When subjected to a magnetic field, the fluid greatly increases its apparent viscosity, to the point of becoming a viscoelastic solid. Importantly, the yield stress of the fluid when in its active ("on") state can be controlled very accurately by varying the magnetic field intensity. The upshot of this is that the fluid's ability to transmit force can be controlled with an electromagnet, which gives rise to its many possible control-based applications. MR fluid is different from a ferrofluid which has smaller particles. How it works[edit] When a magnetic field is applied, however, the microscopic particles (usually in the 0.1–10 µm range) align themselves along the lines of magnetic flux, see below. Material behavior[edit] Where = shear stress;

Qarnot Computing Our HPC farm relies on high-end hardware renewed every 3 years, which is better than the market benchmarks. The Q.rads’ failure rate is significantly lower than that of any standard server since they do not have mobile parts. Moreover, the Q.ware system handles the workload redistribution in case of a Q.rad failure. Unlike data centers, the Q.rad technology is extensible by design. It can therefore be easily deployed in any type of building or housing structure. Up to several thousands CPUs can be called for durations as small as one minute. Qarnot dedicates on average 50% of its capacity to low-priority academic computations, for free. Data and computation tasks are highly secure. yify-pop/yify-pop Folders.io - File Streaming and Cloud Storage

PIQO : quand on peut faire simple… Des ordis moins énergivores (mais aussi efficaces) pour les institutions françaises. Libres. assemblés en France ? C’est le pari osé d’une association de Nevers, qui a besoin de sous pour démarrer. Nous avons voulu en savoir plus avant, peut-être, de mettre la main au portefeuille, et nous sommes allés interroger Émilien Court, l’un des responsables du projet PIQO. Bonjour, Émilien. Je vois qu’on a les mêmes références ! PIQO est un projet de synthèse. Je suis tombé dans l’informatique quand j’étais petit, j’en ai même fait mon métier à une époque. Il n’a pas été difficile de constituer une équipe de personnes issues d’horizons très divers : éducation, économie sociale et solidaire, environnement, industrie, design… Aujourd’hui, PIQO compte une quinzaine de membres, qui tous voient derrière l’ordinateur un projet de société. Pourquoi avoir créé une association et faire un crowdfunding ? La question de créer une entreprise ne s’est même pas posée, à vrai dire. Restons pragmatiques.
