Bosom friend

Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: Bosom friend.

Meaning: Best buddy.

Origin: The old expression "pour over the Adam's apple" meant "get drunk", "drink with alcohol." Hence the phraseological unit "bosom friend" was formed, which today is used to refer to a very close friend. In the same meaning, only the gesture of light tapping or imitation of a shelban on the neck with a finger has been preserved.

About the situation when one speaks, convinces, and the other does not listen, does not consider the speaker and continues to do his (usually reprehensible) deed (iron.).

Origin:

The expression is a quote from I. A. Krylov's fable "The Cat and the Cook" (1813). In the fable, the cook reproaches the cat Vaska for stealing food in the kitchen. Vaska, listening to the cook's reproaches, calmly continues to eat the stolen chicken.

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 ... >>

Maxim hSensor platform for development of wearable electronic devices 05.11.2016

Focusing on the needs of developers of wearable electronic devices for monitoring indicators of physical activity of the user, Maxim Integrated Products introduced the hSensor platform.

The miniature hSensor board contains the MAX30003 single-channel analog interface for digitizing biopotentials, the MAX30101 heart rate and blood oxygen saturation sensor, the MAX30205 temperature sensor, the MAX32620 low-power microcontroller based on the ARM Cortex-M4F core, and the MAX14720 power controller. In addition, hSensor equipment includes inertial sensors, a barometric sensor, flash memory and a Bluetooth LE interface. In addition to the prototype board, the platform includes a development board, drivers, a graphical user interface, and firmware available in source code.

The hSensor platform is suitable for building wearable vital signs monitors, smart scales, biometric authentication tools and other similar devices, Maxim says. Starting a design with hSensor can save three to six months, the manufacturer estimates, as it eliminates the development phase of prototype hardware and firmware.

The price of MAXREFDES100# is $150.
