Which president gave his dog the rank of colonel in the army?

The story is known that the ancient Roman emperor Caligula made his horse Incitatus a senator, although most historians consider it unreliable. However, parallels with it can be drawn even from the 20th century. Romanian President-dictator Nicolae Ceausescu so adored a Labrador named Corbu, given to him in England, that he awarded him the rank of colonel in the army. The dog was transported in a separate limousine with a fixed driver, and fed with special dog biscuits, which the Romanian ambassador in London bought at a local supermarket and sent home by diplomatic mail.

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 ... >>

Powerful HPI series inductors 19.06.2005

EPCOS' high-power HPI series inductors cover the inductance range from 0,5 to 3,92 µH and handle currents up to 30 A.

Depending on the value of the inductance, the height of the product is 4,95 or 5,95 mm with an area size on the board of 11x13,1 mm. Electrical resistance range from 1,1 to 6,0 milliohm.

Small size and high currents make the inductors ideal for DC/DC converters, voltage regulators. The new components are made with lead-free technology.
