Who and when was officially awarded the Order for drunkenness?

Peter I struggled with drunkenness by various methods. For particularly distinguished alcoholics, he ordered to make a cast-iron order "For drunkenness" weighing about 7 kg, excluding the chain. It was hung around the neck of drunkards in the police station and fastened with chains so that it could not be removed, forcing them to walk in this form for a week.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

Which hockey player received a prison sentence for a fight on the court?

Fighting in hockey has long been a part of the game and a spectacle for the fans. However, fights on the court can result in punishment for hockey players not only in the form of penalty minutes or disqualification. In 1988, Minnesota player Dino Sissarelli hit an opponent twice in the head with a club, and then added a hand to the face. A trial was held that recognized this episode as an attack, and sentenced Sissarelli to one day in prison and a fine of 1000 Canadian dollars.

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 ... >>

1 cubic mm computer 07.04.2015

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Michigan has announced that it is ready to produce the world's smallest computer, the Michigan Micro Mote (M^3), measuring just one cubic millimeter. The developers are currently negotiating with companies showing interest in the device.

Despite its size, the M^3 is capable of taking pictures, measuring temperature and pressure and storing this data in its memory. Computer programming is carried out by means of light pulses, which can be transmitted by a lamp located next to the chip.

M^3 consists of several layers. Each subsequent top layer is smaller than the previous one, so the computer looks like a ladder. The bottom layer is a photocell that converts light into electricity to charge the battery. Then comes the battery layer, then the microprocessor and memory layer, then the radio module layer. A lens with a photomatrix in the form of a cylinder can be additionally placed on top (it is in the second image). The M^3 computer is completely autonomous. It is capable of collecting and recording data by extracting energy from light.

According to the developers, they were able to create a miniature computer after the release of the Phoenix processor with a size of 915 x 915 microns, consuming 500 pW (5 * 10-10 W, about the same amount of energy consumed by 500 human cells). Having received the processor, the engineers developed a photocell measuring one square millimeter, with an output power of 2 nW (2 * 10-9 W). This turned out to be enough to charge the built-in battery and for autonomous operation of the system in normal lighting conditions, if the battery is low.

The developers believe that Michigan Micro Mote can be used in medicine. The computer can be used for examinations, measurement of intracranial and intraocular pressure in case of injuries and various diseases. The use of M^3 would make these procedures less painful and safer from the point of view of accidental infection.

Another area of application of the computer is industry and infrastructure. Engineers believe the device could be used to explore mineral deposits or to monitor road conditions by placing computers in the roadbed.

The built-in wireless module allows the computer to transmit information at a distance of up to seven meters. Now engineers are working to increase the range of the module up to 20 meters, as well as the ability of computers to transmit information through each other along the chain.
About the M^3 computer, a demonstration of the programming process

The Michigan Micro Mote took over 10 years to develop. Both department staff and students took part in the project. Their plans include the creation of a computer with even smaller dimensions.
