Which Soviet car was also produced with right-hand drive and automatic transmission?

The GAZ-21 car had many modifications. In 1965, the GAZ-21P model was even released - an export version with a right-hand drive. And in the same year they made the GAZ-21PE - the same model with a right-hand drive plus an automatic transmission.

Why do we need a skeleton?

The skeleton has two main jobs - it supports our body in an upright position and protects the internal organs. The skeleton is a frame made up mostly of bones. At birth, a baby's skeleton contains about 270 bones, some of which are quite small. An adult usually has 206 bones because some of them fuse together. In joints, the bones are held together by ligaments that resemble cords or twine. Some connections are very mobile.

For example, when you run, you move your legs at the knee and hip joints. When you throw the ball, your arm moves at the shoulder and elbow joints. Some joints, or joints, are generally immobile. At the base of the spine, the bones have fused, forming one bone plate that fits into another. None of them move. All joints of our skull are also motionless, with the exception of the jaw. The protection provided by the skeleton includes the hard bony covering of the skull that protects the brain.

The rib cage protects the heart and lungs. And the spine protects the spinal cord - the highway for nerve endings. The spine is a chain of smaller bones.

It's hard for us to imagine that bone is living matter, but that's the way it is. When a person is young, bones grow. For example, the hip can triple in size from birth to full height. Bones increase in length and thickness as they receive calcium and other minerals. And since bone is a living tissue, it must be nourished.

On the outside, the bone has a thin, hard coating that contains many tiny blood vessels that carry nutrients to the bone cells. Inside the bone is porous and filled with bone marrow. Part of the bone marrow contains stores of fat, while the other part produces red blood cells.

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. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of ​​controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog ​​owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

Mitsubishi Automotive Projection Systems 09.10.2017

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation specialists have developed a new system called Safe and Secure Lighting, designed to improve road safety.

The idea is to inform pedestrians, cyclists and other motorists of the driver's intentions. To do this, it is proposed to use a special projection platform and displays mounted in the vehicle body.

As conceived by the researchers, the Safe and Secure Lighting complex with the help of projectors will form an image on the road surface informing about what kind of maneuver the driver intends to make. It can be, say, arrows indicating the direction of movement or symbolizing that the motorist wants to open the door. Additional information will be displayed on screens that can be installed around the perimeter of the machine.

The Safe and Secure Lighting system will be useful primarily at night. In this case, the signs projected onto the road will help other road users to understand in advance what action the motorist will perform.

In addition, in the future, based on the concept of Safe and Secure Lighting, a new display system for unmanned vehicles can be made.
