How many times larger is a standard Japanese keyboard than a European one?

In Japanese, in addition to the kanji hieroglyphic script borrowed from China, there are also two syllabary alphabets - hiragana and katakana - in which one character corresponds not to a word, but to a separate syllable. Traditionally, they are used to write words for which there are no kanji: katakana for borrowed terms from European languages, and hiragana for individual Japanese particles and suffixes, or when the reader may not know some kanji.

It is 47 hiragana characters that are located on the keyboards, so Japanese keyboards are no different from what we are used to.

In addition, special software can track character input and automatically suggest replacing several characters with the corresponding character.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Why does the city of Baden-Baden have such a double name?

The German city of Baden-Baden was called simply Baden until the end of the 18th century. When a resort was set up in this place, vacationers, to distinguish it from the Austrian and Swiss Baden, began to call it Baden in Baden, which means Baden in the Baden region, and for ease of pronunciation, the preposition in was discarded. The dual name was officially approved in 1931.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Innovative gadget batteries from LG Chem 15.10.2013

LG Chem announced that it has overcome the traditional limitations of rectangular battery shapes and is the first in the industry to mass-produce batteries in a variety of shapes. The LG Chem "cable" battery is designed to equip electronic devices that can be bent or even tied into a knot.

The advanced batteries from LG Chem can be divided into three types: "step" batteries, "curved" batteries and "cable" batteries.

The step battery was put into production at the LG Chem factory in Nanjing back in July this year for the LG G2 smartphone. The stepped battery consists of two batteries, with one stacked on top of the other, forming a "stepped" shape. This battery can make more efficient use of free space in the design of modern mobile devices.

To make their products stand out from the competition, smartphone makers are using a "rounded" design that leaves unused space inside the devices. And thanks to the stepped shape of the battery, you can install a larger battery, filling all the available space, and thereby increase the battery life of the smartphone without increasing the size of the entire device. At its Nanjing factory, LG Chem plans to develop more complex step-type batteries with more "layers" to deliver more power based on customer needs. Other companies have also succeeded in producing "composite batteries", but none of them has so far been able to match LG Chem's products in terms of the cost-effectiveness of this type of design.

In addition, LG Chem's curved batteries are designed to power devices with curved screens and flexible designs, such as specially designed smartphones, smartwatches, and similar products. LG Chem's patented Stack & Folding technology reduces physical stress in batteries caused by the curved design. Mass production of curved batteries for LG Electronics' latest smartphones will begin this month.

The LG Chem "cable" battery is designed to equip electronic devices that can be bent or even tied into a knot. The "cable" battery, designed for low power, does not heat up even during prolonged use. What's more, the battery's water resistance makes it an ideal choice for gadgets worn around the neck or wrist. Mass production of cable-type batteries will begin in the near future.
