What did devil's advocates do in the Catholic Church?

Until 1983, there was a special position in the Catholic Church - the devil's advocate. The work of this man was to collect all possible arguments against the canonization of the next righteous candidate. In contrast to the devil's advocate, there was another position - the defender of God, whose functions were opposite. In modern parlance, the term "devil's advocate" is often used to refer to people who defend a position that they themselves do not hold.

For whose self-defense was a laser pistol created in the USSR in 1984?

In 1984, a non-lethal laser pistol was developed in the USSR. It was intended for the self-defense of astronauts. The damaging effect of this pistol was to disable the sensitive elements of optical systems, including the human eye. And an important advantage over a conventional pistol in zero gravity was the lack of recoil. Now the laser pistol is a monument of science and technology and is on display at the Museum of the History of the Military Academy of the Strategic Missile Forces named after Peter the Great.

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 ... >>

Connecting chips at unthinkable angles 24.05.2021

Researchers at HRL Laboratories have developed a 3D microprinting technology that promises to change the approach to multichip packaging. Instead of the usual vertical etching of channels in a substrate for through metallization, scientists propose to print substrates with ready-made holes for metallization. In this case, the routing can be provided at incredible angles and in the most incredible directions, which will make the layout more dense.

The work of HRL Laboratories was carried out under the FOCII program of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The FOCII (FOcal arrays for Curved Infrared Imagers) program aims to develop simple and extremely wide-angle cameras for reconnaissance, machine vision and other applications. For such cameras, curved image sensors are made, which frees them from complex corrective optics. And curved sensors, as you might guess, will be much more compact if they are connected to the controller not by straight metallization channels, but by curved ones.

HRL Laboratories was able to print an insulating substrate with curved channels for metallization at a resolution of 2 µm. The inner diameter of the channels in this case was 10 μm. This is enough to connect the image sensor to the processor for processing. Printing is carried out by laser stereolithography on polymer or ceramic resin.

"We are developing this technology to improve the XNUMXD integration of microelectronic subsystems such as infrared cameras and radar receivers," said HRL Group Manager Dr. Tobias Schaedler. "Smaller, lighter and more energy efficient system designs are currently limited to electrical routing and packaging , but our additive technology can eliminate this bottleneck."
