Golden Rain

Ancient Greek and Roman mythology

Phraseologism: Golden Rain.

Meaning: Unexpected wealth that fell to the lot of a person, generous gifts, large sums of money, obtained without difficulty, "fell from heaven."

Origin: From ancient Greek mythology. The Thunderer Zeus fell in love with Danaë, daughter of the king of Argos Acrisius. But since it was predicted to the king that one day he would die at the hands of his grandson, he imprisoned his daughter in a high tower so that no beloved could unite with her. However, Zeus turned into a golden rain and so entered the tower. Danae had a son, Perseus, and after many years he really accidentally killed his grandfather. Hence the allegorical expression - "to shed a golden rain", that is, to unexpectedly bestow something, enrich, etc.

Random phraseology:

I don’t know why and who needs it.

Meaning:

Regret for the dead.

Origin:

From the author's song "What I have to say ..." (October, 1917) by Alexander Nikolayevich Vertinsky (1889-1957): "I don't know why and who needs it, / Who sent them to death with an unshaking hand .. ." The song was dedicated to the cadets who died in Moscow during the October armed uprising of 1917.

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 ... >>

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. ... >>

Texas Instruments RF430F5978 Identification and Wireless Communication System 20.12.2014

Texas Instruments has released a new system-on-a-chip RF430F5978, which is designed for combined short-range identification systems (up to 6:10 meters, 134.2 kHz) and wireless data transmission at distances up to several kilometers. The RF430F5978 chip is designed to build wireless sensors, identify people, animals, containers, access control and security systems. For example, the chip allows you to create radio tags for car alarms with long battery life, long range and fast response when approaching a car.

The microcontroller and radio can be awakened by a transponder signal, which, thanks to a special external 3D antenna, is able to respond to an electromagnetic field in any orientation. Thanks to the measurement of signal strength along 3 axes, you can calculate the distance to the object and its position in space.

At a distance of up to 10 cm, the transponder allows two-way secure data exchange with the EEPROM-memory of the chip even when the power supply is turned off. With it, you can also implement the function of wireless charging from the energy of the electromagnetic field.

The chip consists of a low frequency 134 kHz 430D transponder, an MSP1101 microcontroller and a CC1 transceiver operating in the sub-32 GHz band. The microcontroller, in addition to traditional peripherals, contains a 8-bit hardware multiplier, an 12-channel 128-bit ADC, a comparator, a real-time clock with an alarm clock, an AESXNUMX hardware encryption unit, temperature and supply voltage sensors.

To quickly evaluate the capabilities of the combined solution, the RF430F5978EVM debug kit is available, which includes a base station (electromagnetic field source), a radio tag with two wireless interfaces (434 MHz and 134,2 kHz) and a USB receiver on a CC1101 chip (434 MHz).
