It arose in the speech of fans of the card game as a result of mixing "French with Nizhny Novgorod". First, a French expression appeared among the players, which later merged into the word "all-in" in our speech. After that, the word was included in the phraseological scheme with the word "go".

Artificial leather for touch emulation
15.04.2024
In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

| Random news from the Archive Wireless microwave charging
05.02.2021
Xiaomi has developed a wireless charger Mi Air Charge, capable of charging gadgets literally through the air.
Mi Air Charge is the name of a technology and at the same time a small device, inside of which there are specialized antennas. Some of these antennas are used to track the location of the gadget in the room, while others are responsible for the directional transmission of energy. Mi Air Charge will not work with existing smartphones on the market - Xiaomi has reserved this technology for its future innovations.
The main Mi Air Charge box contains five phase antennas for "spying" on a smartphone or other compatible device. Xiaomi has said that this technology will be suitable for its smartwatches, bracelets and other portable electronics in the future.
Mi Air Charge takes milliseconds to track the location of the device for recharging. An array of 144 antennas is responsible for the charging itself, allowing the millimeter waves to be directed. This fundamentally distinguishes Mi Air Charge from existing wireless chargers that use electromagnetic induction.
A smartphone or any compatible device acts as a receiver in the Mi Air Charge scheme. Xiaomi proposes to mount two antenna units in it, where the first, a beacon, allows the main station to determine the current position of the gadget in space. The second is a block of 14 mini-antennas that capture microwaves. Also, the device must be equipped with a converter of these microwaves into electricity.
The maximum power of truly wireless charging Mi Air Charge is 5W.
