Meaning: You won't get anything, don't expect to get anything (mockingly ironic refusal to give anything).

Origin: The word "pocket" in the expression retains the now obsolete meaning of "pouch or bag, fastened or sewn to clothing or belt to store something." The word is etymologically related to the Latin and Turkic words meaning "purse".

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.

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. ... >>

Mobileye EyeQ4 single-chip system for semi-autonomous vehicles 16.03.2015

Mobileye, which specializes in the development of driver assistance systems using cameras, introduced the fourth generation of related single-chip systems - EyeQ4.

EyeQ4 brings together 15 years of experience in the development of specialized machine vision cores. In total, the EyeQ4 configuration includes 14 computing cores, 10 of which are specialized vector accelerators for processing visual information.
Mobileye EyeQ4 single-chip system

Each of the four EyeQ4 processor cores can execute four instruction streams. They will be accompanied by six Vector Microcode Processor (VMP) blocks already tested in the EyeQ2 and EyeQ3 models. EyeQ4 will have new hardware accelerators - Multithreaded Processing Cluster (MPC) and Programmable Macro Array (PMA) - two of each type.

In terms of versatility, MPC is superior to GPUs and OpenCL boosters, and in terms of efficiency it is superior to CPU. As for the PMA, these blocks are characterized by a high computational density, approaching pure hardware accelerators, significantly surpassing traditional digital signal processors, but retaining the ability to program. All EyeQ4 cores are fully programmable, which allows you to implement any algorithms, and using the most suitable core for each specific task, you can get high performance. If you try to numerically express the capabilities of the processor - its performance exceeds 2,5 TFLOPS with a power consumption of 3 watts.

EyeQ4 engineering samples are expected in the fourth quarter of 2015. The first full test suite, including applications for active safety and environmental simulation (using eight cameras), should be ready in the second quarter of 2016, and the company expects to roll out the serial release in early 2018.

EyeQ4 customers have already become interested. One major European manufacturer plans to use the new processor in its products starting in 2018, according to Mobileye. The EyeQ4 processor will be part of an expandable system using cameras. In its base configuration, the system will feature single-lens cameras for collision avoidance, while the top configuration will include triple-lens cameras to enable semi-autonomous driving. It is important that EyeQ4 supports the use of radar and laser scanners with cameras.
