Latin

A place under the sun.

Origin:

For the first time in European literature, this expression is found in the work "Thoughts" by the French scientist and philosopher Blaise Pascal (1623-1662). He writes: "This dog is mine," these poor children said, "this is my place under the sun: this is the beginning and the image of the capture of the whole earth" ("Pensees", 1670, part I). Then this expression of Pascat is found in many French authors - Berenger (the poem "The Holy Union of Nations", 1927), Balzac, etc. Subsequently, it also passed into political vocabulary - it was often found in German magazines (70-80s of the XIX century. ), usually with reference to Pascal's work as the primary source. But this expression became popular after the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of Germany (later its Chancellor) Count Bernhard Bülow (1849-1929) delivered a speech (December 6, 1897) in the German Reichstag, which received wide international publicity. He spoke about the capture of the Chinese port of Kiao-Chao by Germany: “We are ready to reckon with the interests of other great powers of East Asia, in the confidence that our interests will also meet their due respect. In a word: we do not want to drive anyone into the shadows, but we demand our places under the sun.

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 ... >>

Touch keyboard with Bluetooth 23.12.2001

Senseboard has developed a device that combines sensor technology with an artificial neural network that can accurately track the movements of the fingers of a typing person. Representatives of the Swedish company believe that the keyboard simulator they have created will solve the problems of mobile computer users who no longer have to poke on tiny buttons.

The device captures finger movements when pressed, and precise measurements allow you to determine which keys a person wanted to press when typing. Sensors made of rubber and plastic are connected to the user's palms so as not to interfere with the movements of the fingers. Using Bluetooth technology, information about the "printed" is transmitted wirelessly to a computer, where a text editor analyzes the signals and turns them into text. In addition to the error correction system, the device has a "pause" function, which allows a person to eat, drink and perform any other work with his hands without removing the sensors.

Senseboard says the device will be compatible with most PDAs, mobile phones and laptops and will sell for around $150. USA expected in March 2002.
