We wanted the best, but it turned out as always

Chernomyrdin V.S.

Phraseologism: We wanted the best, but it turned out as always.

Meaning: The phrase is a symbol of bureaucratic, bureaucratic reformism (ironic).

Origin: From a television interview with the Prime Minister (1992-1998) of the Russian Federation Viktor Chernomyrdin about the exchange of banknotes in August 1993. In the original: "We wanted the best, but it turned out as always." It is believed that this phrase was first uttered by the leader of the Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR) Edward Gierek (1912-2001), who headed this party (1970-1980). When the protest actions of the Solidarity trade union against the Polish communist leadership began, he was removed from his post and even expelled from the party.

Random phraseology:

There is nothing new under the sun.

Meaning:

Everything in the world has happened before.

Origin:

From the poem "Experienced Solomon's Wisdom, or Selected Thoughts from Ecclesiastes" (1797) by Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin (1766-1826): "Nothing is new under the moon: // What is, that was, will be forever. // And before the blood flowed like a river , // And before, a man cried ... "In the first line, Karamzin used a winged Latin expression, well known in Russia and in Russian translation, and in the original language: Nil novi sub luna - nothing new under the sun. The very work of Karamzin is a poetic imitation of the famous biblical text (The Book of Ecclesiastes, or the Preacher, ch. 1, art. 9-10): "What has been, will be, and what has been done, will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. There is something about which they say: "Look, this is new," but it was already in the ages that were before us ... "

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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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. ... >>

CoolSiC 1200V Silicon Carbide MOSFETs in TO247-3/-4 Package 16.01.2020

Infineon's new 1200V CoolSiC MOSFETs in the TO247-3/-4 package are based on state-of-the-art semiconductor technologies and optimized for high performance and reliability.

The advantage of using SiC transistors compared to Si solutions is higher efficiency, which is especially important for power conversion systems. Compared to Si-based IGBTs and MOSFETs, SiC MOSFETs have several advantages: the lowest gate charge and capacitance levels among 1200V switches, no internal diode recovery loss, low temperature-independent switching loss, and no-threshold characteristic.

CoolSiC MOSFETs are great for hard and resonant switched topologies such as power factor correction (PFC) circuits, bi-directional topologies, DC/DC converters or DC/AC inverters.

Features:

Low switching losses;
Non-threshold characteristic;
Wide gate-source voltage range;
Gate threshold voltage VGS(th) = 4,5V;
Controlled voltage slew rate (dV/dT);
Robust current-carrying diode for hard switching;
Switching losses are independent of temperature;
Maintaining operability in the event of a short circuit for 3 μs at a gate voltage of 15 V.
Available for order in TO247-4 packages. This package has an additional source signal pin to optimize the switching process.

Application:

Solar energy conversion systems;
Electric vehicle charging systems;
Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS);
Power supplies;
Engine management.
