How did the British pilots make the V-1 rockets fall in the place they needed?

When the Germans began to massively attack England with V-1 cruise missiles, British aviation tried to actively counteract the new weapon. Many rockets were shot down by fighters, but some pilots used an alternative method, which was given the name "coup de wing". The pilot flew up close to the flying rocket, placed the wing of his plane under the short wing of the V-1 and deftly turned the rocket over, causing it to lose flight stability and fall down. This maneuver was performed over the sea or a deserted area, so the rocket explosion did not cause any harm.

What kind of people bury babies in trees?

The Indonesian people of Toraja are known for their special attitude towards death, which the relatives of the deceased celebrate magnificently with the invitation of hundreds of guests. Although the Toraj call themselves Christians, they are rarely buried in the ground - mostly the dead are placed in crypts carved into the cliffs, or in wooden coffins suspended on the rocks. If a small child dies among the Torajas, whose teeth are not yet cut, they bury him in a hollow made in a large tree. It is believed that the tree heals the wound and absorbs the body and soul of the child.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Class D amplifier with 240W output power and 0,1% distortion 14.03.2006

Texas Instruments and the Technical University of Denmark have developed a Class-D (Class-D) amplifier with 240W output power and less than I/O distortion.

A TI spokesman said that "this is the best known product of its kind, and the output power level is unprecedented for monolithic output stages." To achieve low THD, an open-loop feedback was used, which is preferable to closed-loop, which cannot easily be added to an all-digital signal path.

The amplifier is built on n-channel horizontal (lateral) DMOS transistors, which are used both in the output stages and in the pre-amp stages. Distortions initially affect the timing and electrical characteristics of the prestages. Reduced distortion is achieved by optimizing the size of the transistors of the preliminary and output stages.

The amplifier is manufactured using a 0,4 µm/1,8 µm high voltage BiCMOS process with two aluminum plating layers and one copper layer.

Each half-bridge uses three pins for VDD ground and output, each of which is connected to the crystal by a stranded wire. Two half-bridges are placed on the chip, each of which provides an output current of up to +18 A and a power of up to 244 W at a load of 4 ohms in bridge mode.
