What does the brand of soda water Boga, popular in Tunisia, have to do with Russia?

One of the popular brands of sparkling water in Tunisia is "Boga". Its history goes back to the appearance in this country of the ships of the Black Sea Fleet with Russian emigrants - the remnants of Wrangel's army. At first, Russians were generally forbidden to go ashore under the pretext of quarantine, and local residents set up a business to deliver food to ships. Seeing the ship's barrels with the inscription "Water", the merchants decided that these were the Latin letters "Boga" familiar to them, and under this name they began to supply fresh water.

How are pearls formed?

To form a pearl, you need a grain of sand. When it gets inside the shell of bivalve marine and freshwater mollusks - pearl oysters, their body envelops this foreign body with layers of mother-of-pearl - a calcium salt of carbonic acid insoluble in water. Because of its beauty and brilliance, such education is highly valued. On pearl farms, grains of sand are implanted in the shells of pearl molluscs.

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 ... >>

TLV73333P New 300mA Capacitorless LDO Regulator 01.05.2015

Texas Instruments' new low dropout TLV73333P series TLV733P integrated regulator is designed to operate in devices with current consumption up to 300 mA.

The TLV73333P provides a fixed output voltage of 3,3V and generally does not require any wiring to operate. Stable operation is ensured even without connecting an input and output capacitor, which can be useful in battery-powered applications where high starting currents must be avoided.

Despite the low price, the TLV73333P stabilizer has good parameters - the voltage drop at the maximum current is less than 122 mV, the internal consumption current is 34 μA, there is a control input and an automatic discharge mode of the output capacitance through a built-in 120 Ohm resistor. When the regulator is turned off, the current consumption is reduced to 100 nA, while the control current on the Enable line is only 10 nA.

The TLV73333P stabilizer has protection against overheating, short circuit and input voltage drop below a certain value.

The TLV73333PDBVT chip is available in the popular SOT-23-5 package. If you need to minimize the PCB, you can choose the 2x1 mm X1SON package (TLV73333PDQNR).

The TLV733P series includes integrated voltage regulators with low voltage drop and fixed output voltage from the range: 1,0; 1,1; 1,2; 1,5; 1,8; 2,5; 3,3 V.
