An Indian named Geronimo during the second half of the 19th century with a small detachment of warriors was a constant problem for the American and Mexican armies and became famous for his courage and elusiveness. In the 1939 film, his hero, hiding from the chase, jumped off a steep cliff into the river with his name on his lips. The American paratroopers who watched the film decided to shout "Geronimo!" for good luck. at the moment of jumping out of the plane, and this tradition continues to this day.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

How much would the ocean level rise if the glaciers of Antarctica and Greenland melted?

If the glaciers of Antarctica and Greenland were to melt completely today, the level of the world's oceans would rise by about 60 meters.

Coastal areas on all continents would be flooded along with the largest cities in the world. The water level would have risen to the twentieth floor of Manhattan skyscrapers.

At the same time, Alaska, Greenland, and even Antarctica would become more habitable.

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 ... >>

MediaTek MT6589 single-chip system 21.12.2012

MediaTek this week announced the release of the MT6589 SoC, which the manufacturer calls the world's first commercially available SoC with four ARM Cortex-A7 cores. In addition to the quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor, the MT6589 has an integrated modem for UMTS Rel. 8, HSPA+ and TD-SCDMA, and the PowerVR Series5XT GPU from Imagination Technologies. The single-chip system is designed for release using 28-nanometer technology and is designed for smartphones and tablets of the middle and upper segments with Android OS.

Among the advantages of MT6589, the manufacturer notes support for two SIM cards, and with the possibility of simultaneous use (Dual-Active). As stated, this feature in a platform with HSPA + support is also implemented for the first time.

The MediaTek MT6589 single-chip system provides playback and recording of high-definition video in 1080p format at a frequency of 30 fps, is designed to connect cameras with a resolution of up to 13 MP, displays with a resolution of up to 1920 x 1080 pixels. In addition, there is support for the MediaTek Cool 3D package, which includes a stereoscopic user interface, work with stereoscopic cameras and displays, real-time conversion of ordinary video to stereoscopic.

Completing the picture is support for Miracast technology, which provides wireless connection to an external display, and the ability to integrate with a MediaTek combo wireless solution that combines 802.11n Wi-Fi, BT4.0, GPS and FM.
