Baron von Greenwaldus
Kozma Prutkov
Phraseologism: Baron von Greenwaldus.
Meaning: About a slow, inert, passive person or about someone who sits motionless for a long time in the same place, in the same position (jokingly ironic).
Origin: From the poem "German Ballad" (1854) by Kozma Prutkov. It tells of a knight who fell into disfavor with the lady of his heart, Amalia, and here he is "sitting in front of the castle of Amalia, frowning, sitting and silent." The poem is a parody of Johann Friedrich Schiller's ballad "The Knight of Togenburg".
Kozma Petrovich Prutkov is a collective pseudonym under which the poet Alexey Tolstoy and the brothers Alexey, Vladimir and Alexander Zhemchuzhnikov were published in the magazines Sovremennik, Iskra and others in the 50-60s of the XNUMXth century.
Random phraseology:
He who is not with us is against us.
Meaning:
1. A threat, a warning to those who take a neutral position in politics. 2. Withholding support becomes an enemy.
Origin:
A phrase that became popular in Soviet Russia in the first years after the October Revolution: used as a threat or warning to those who take a neutral political position, the expression is often associated with revolutionary propaganda. The primary source is the words of Christ, transmitted in the Gospel of Matthew: "Whoever is not with Me is against Me, and whoever does not gather with Me squanders" (Matt. 12:30). In English-speaking countries, a similar expression (English you "re either with us, or against us) became widely known thanks to US President George W. Bush, who used it in 2001 when declaring a war on terrorism. |

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 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. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Enhanced LED Driver IC
09.05.2020
Maxim Integrated Products has released a new family of ICs for automotive circuits. The MAX25601A/B/C/D contain a synchronous boost controller followed by a synchronous LED buck driver controller.
The boost controller's input voltage range of 4,5V to 40V is ideal for automotive applications. In fact, this controller serves as a preliminary boost regulator for the second stage of the microcircuit - a step-down LED controller.
The synchronous boost converter operates in inductor current control mode and can be connected in parallel with another device to increase output power. The SYNCOUT pin, designed to control the RT / SYNCIN pin of another device, allows you to organize anti-phase synchronization of two microcircuits operating in parallel. The switching frequency of the boost converter is programmable from 200 kHz to 2,2 MHz. To reduce the level of electromagnetic interference, an expansion of the spectrum of the synchronization signal is implemented.
An internal digitally controlled soft-start circuit ensures that the buck output ramps up smoothly. The list of safety features includes pulsing mode, overvoltage protection, and crystal overtemperature shutdown.
