Which chips were unsuccessfully demanded by the company that made them not to be considered chips?

Pringles chips are only 42% potatoes, the rest is wheat starch, corn and rice flour, and vegetable oils. In 2008, Procter & Gamble, the owner of this brand, filed a lawsuit in the British court demanding that Pringles be officially not considered chips - this would allow the company not to pay a value-added tax of 17,5% and thereby reduce costs. In the primary instance, the claim was satisfied, but the court of appeal overturned this decision and returned the name of the chips to the product.

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 ... >>

Satellite Internet for Africa 10.10.2015

This summer, it became known that Facebook is building its own drone with a wingspan similar to that of a Boeing 737 aircraft. other end of the world. The drone is designed for a 90-day non-stop flight at an altitude of 30 m and the transmission of information using a laser at a speed of 000 gigabits per second.

As it turned out, it was just a warm-up. Now Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said that the company will launch a satellite next year to reach the remote corners of Africa. For those wondering why Africa, Zuckerberg explained: "We will continue to work on connecting the whole world - even if this requires going beyond our planet."

The satellite will be operated jointly with the French company Eutelsat. It has 34 geostationary satellites covering two-thirds of the world's population and is Europe's leading and world's third-largest satellite operator with over 5800 TV channels and 1250 radio stations.

The joint satellite, called AMOS-6, will be operated by the Israeli company Spacecom, whose satellites are being built by Israel Aerospace Industries, a state-owned corporation. AMOS-6 is designed to broadcast in the centimeter Ku-band from 12 to 18 GHz and centimeter and millimeter Ka-band from 26,5 to 40 GHz.
