What was the original name of the saxophone by its inventor?

The Belgian master Adolphe Sax, who invented the saxophone, originally called it quite differently - the mouthpiece ophicleid. Only two years later, his friend composer Berlioz called the new instrument the saxophone in a magazine article, and this name took root much more readily.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Why don't dogs recognize themselves in the mirror?

If a person receives the main (about 90 percent) part of the information about the world around him through vision, then for a dog, hearing and smell are the main source of information, and vision goes into the background or third plan.

Therefore, his own reflection in the mirror - an object that does not smell and does not make sounds - cannot be of any interest to the dog.

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. ... >>

green mouse 13.08.2002

This is the name of a pocket generator for recharging cell phone batteries, proposed by the French inventor Stefan Hugenin.

Outwardly, this device weighing 110 grams really resembles a computer mouse, but with the essential difference that it can and should be pulled by the tail. The handle protruding from the rear end of the "mouse" must be pulled several times, as when starting a boat motor. The generator located inside is untwisted, from which the phone is recharged.

At the front end of the device there is a white LED that lights up when a button is pressed, so that the "green mouse" also serves as a flashlight, the light of which is visible from a distance of up to a kilometer.
