To what kind of children did Russian aristocrats sometimes give truncated surnames?

Russian aristocrats and members of the imperial family often gave their illegitimate children surnames formed by truncation. For example, the illegitimate children of the Trubetskoys could receive the surname Betskoy, and the Golitsyns - Litsyn or even just Go. Another interesting way was to use anagrams. So, the surname Lunacharsky came from the surname Charnalusky.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

How did the Estonian government try to hide the fact that the most common surname in the country is Ivanov?

In 2005, the Estonian government presented statistics on the prevalence of surnames among its citizens. The first places were taken by the names Tamm, Saar, Mägi and Sepp. However, the trick was that the surnames Ivanov and Ivanov were considered different (whereas Estonian surnames are the same for men and women). Thus, the Estonians did not let the Russian surname on the podium, because in total the Ivanovs would confidently take first place.

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 ... >>

The first broadband TV comes out 28.08.2005

The Chinese company Haier and the American Freescale Semiconductor introduced the world's first wideband (Ultra-Wideband, UWB) high-definition LCD TV (HDTV).

The new solution allows you to "split" an HDTV into two components - a screen and a multifunctional media server - without cable connections between them. at speeds up to 2 MB/s.

According to the developers, there are currently no analogues of Freescale wireless technology. For real-time transmission of high-definition or MPEG-2 video, a data rate of at least 20 Mb/s is required. The Haier TV has a 37-inch 1080i high-definition LCD screen that can also play standard definition video. The model is equipped with a component DVI connector and a built-in UWB antenna. Users do not need any additional equipment or cables, they only need to plug the TV into a power outlet.

The Digital Media Server is a multifunctional device that includes a player that supports personal video player (PVR), DVD playback, a TV tuner, and a Freescale UWB server that allows high-speed data transfer to a TV.
