Maiden memory

Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: Maiden memory.

Meaning: About bad, "short" memory (joking).

Origin: The expression is East Slavic, from the frivolity of some girls who, having found a new groom, quickly forget their vows to the former gentleman. The expression could also have arisen when the proverb "The girl's memory of the guy forgot" was truncated.

Random phraseology:

Green grapes.

Meaning:

1. Commentary on the words of a person who, having failed in something, justifies it by the fact that he, in fact, did not really want this success (iron.). 2. It is used to denote an imaginary contempt for what is impossible to achieve (jokingly).

Origin:

From the fable "The Fox and the Grapes" (1808) by I. A. Krylov (1769-1844). The fox, not reaching for the grapes, "says with annoyance": "Well, well! // It looks good, // Yes, it's green - there is no ripe berry: // You will immediately set your teeth on edge." For the first time this story is found in the ancient Greek fabulist Aesop (VI century BC). He was the first to describe that inner conflict, when you want to get something, but it is impossible to get it, and therefore it only remains to speak dismissively about your goal.

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.

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. ... >>

Integral module for powerful applications 27.08.2006

Semikron International, known for its unique developments in the field of power module design, and STMicroelectronics (STM), one of the world leaders in the semiconductor market, have begun a joint project, the purpose of which is to develop an integrated module for industrial and automotive applications based on the latest ST power crystals and a small-sized Semikron housings of the SEMITOP series.

Combining the experience and knowledge of ST and SEMIKRON opens up new opportunities in the traditional power module market, using both traditional IGBT and MOSFET technologies, as well as ST's own development - ESBT (EmitterSwitched Bipolar Transistor), which combines the best properties of bipolar and MOSFET structures and allows you to create switches with high operating voltage and high operating frequency.

Features of SEMITOP technology make it possible to combine various components in one package, such as IGBTs, diodes, rectifier bridges. The high degree of integration reduces the number of discrete elements and their space, while providing good electrical performance and high reliability.

The use of advanced technologies and materials, including DBC (Direct Bond Copper), ceramic substrates and silicone gel casting, provides excellent thermal parameters, as well as high resistance to thermal cycling and mechanical stress.

The new ST - Semikron integrated modules are targeted primarily at the fastest growing markets for welding equipment, UPS, drives and switching power supplies.
