Aesculapius

Ancient Greek and Roman mythology

Phraseologism: Aesculapius.

Meaning: Common noun for physicians (iron.).

Origin: From ancient Roman mythology. Aesculapius (Greek - Asclepius) - the god of medicine.

Random phraseology:

Now you are letting go.

Meaning:

About the moment when something long-awaited happened, after which you can breathe easy, relax, etc.

Origin:

From the Bible (Church Slavonic text). According to the Gospel of Luke (ch. 2, st. 29-30), this was the cry of the pious elder Simeon, who was foretold from above that he would not die until he saw the born Christ. And when the baby Jesus was brought to the temple on the fortieth day after his birth, Simeon, taking the baby in his arms, said (according to the Old Church Slavonic text of the Bible): “Now let your servant go, Master, according to your word in peace, as if my eyes have seen your salvation” . So the meeting in the temple allowed Simeon to complete his life. The church holiday of the Presentation of the Lord is dedicated to this event, when these gospel lines are read in churches. The folklore Russian tradition rethought this holiday as a meeting (meeting) of winter in the summer. Sometimes found in the Latin version: "Nunc dimittis".

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 ... >>

Phone guide 19.10.2006

A curious service for tourists introduced in Singapore. Walking, you saw an interesting architectural monument and want to know the details - what kind of building it is, when and by whom it was built, and so on.

You take a picture of a building with your cell phone camera and send it to the central computer of the local cell phone provider. The computer determines your location by the number of the base station with which the phone has contacted, and searches its collection of photographs (more than 2800 buildings, statues, natural and other attractions) for the object you are standing near. After that, the phone receives all the information about the object you are interested in.

In the future, the collection of images will be expanded, and the phone will even be able to tell a tourist who gets lost in a large store, office center or museum how to get out of a huge building. It will be enough to photograph some noticeable detail of the interior where you are.
