saber rattling

Winged words

Phraseologism: Splatter weapons.

Meaning: Demonstrate force, threaten.

Origin: Rattle means "shake, rumble weapons." In the old days, this was done by the troops, greeting the commander or meeting the order to attack. Since the weapon was heavy, the rattling was impressive. The troops, as a rule, were located within sight and sound of each other, the sounds reached the enemy and acted frighteningly on him.

Random phraseology:

White flies.

Meaning:

Snow, snow flakes.

Origin:

The first snowfall is called white flies, when flakes of stuck together snowflakes fly against the background of black earth and not yet fallen greenery and look like a huge swarm of white flies flying in one direction. In winter, this turnover is usually not remembered, but in spring, belated snowflakes against the background of the ground with melted snow are again indicated by this metaphor.

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 ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Samsung Galaxy S III display better than Apple iPhone 5 display 15.10.2012

The source claims that the display of the Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone is superior in some respects to the display of the Apple iPhone 5 smartphone. In particular, the use of in-cell touch technology made it possible to reduce the thickness of the iPhone 5 display, but in this parameter it still lags behind the Galaxy S III display.

The iPhone 5's display thickness is 1,5mm, which is 0,6mm thinner than the iPhone 4S's 2,1mm display. The thickness of the display of the flagship smartphone Samsung is 1,1 mm. The color gamut in the case of the iPhone 4S is 50% of the NTSC space. In the iPhone 5 model, the coverage was brought up to 72% of the NTSC space. Galaxy S III display covers 100% of NTSC space.

The source is quick to point out that the smaller screen thickness does not always correspond to the smaller thickness of the entire device as a whole. For example, in the case of Samsung Galaxy S III and Apple iPhone 5, the situation is reversed. The thickness of the Apple iPhone 5 is 7,6 mm, Samsung Galaxy III - 8,6 mm. If we talk about color gamut, then it is not the only technical parameter that determines the perception of the image. On the one hand, coverage of 72% of the NTSC space satisfies the needs of most users. On the other hand, due to better calibration, more realistic colors can be obtained, and the use of in-cell touch technology helped to increase the brightness of the screen.

In addition, the results of our own measurements allowed us to conclude that "compared to the iPhone 4S, the new version of the smartphone has a wider color gamut and is almost equal to sRGB, as well as a higher efficiency of the anti-glare filter."

The Galaxy III uses an OLED screen, while the iPhone 5 uses an LCD screen.
