Why are there no numbers in IKEA product names?

IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad is dyslexic. Even in the early days of the business, he found that he could not remember the names of products that included numbers, but he remembered simple words much more easily. Therefore, all products of the IKEA range are named with a variety of words from the Swedish language, male and female names, toponyms of Sweden and neighboring countries.

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. ... >>

Achieved data transfer rate of 43 terabits per second 05.08.2014

Researchers at the Danish Technical University (DTU) have been able to transfer data at 43 Tbps using a single fiber optic cable and a single laser transmitter.

The specified speed is equivalent to 5,4 TB / s, that is, for example, it allows you to transfer the entire contents of a 1 TB hard drive in a fifth of a second or copy a 1 GB file in 0,2 ms.

The data transfer speed achieved by Danish scientists is a record to date. The previous record was set in the laboratory of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany (32 Tbps).

To achieve the new record, DTU scientists needed to use a new fiber optic cable developed by colleagues from the Japanese telecommunications company NTT. It contains 7 cores instead of one in modern cables. Despite the greater number of cores, the cable has the same diameter as modern products.

The DTU team noted in an official statement that their achievement will increase the data transfer rate and reduce power consumption in the Internet backbone networks. The availability of such a speed to ordinary consumers is out of the question.

The university recalled that they had previously been able to achieve data transfer rates of 1 Pbps (128 TB / s), but for this they needed to use several hundred laser transmitters.
