What is hidden in the FedEx logo?

The FedEx delivery service logo has a hidden element: between the letters E and x, the empty space forms an arrow. As conceived by the designer of the logo Lyndon Leader, this arrow should associate the company with a high speed of delivery on a subconscious level.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Can cats really see in the dark?

No animal can see in complete darkness, but cat eyes are much more adapted to very low light conditions than the eyes of most animals.

The fact is that on the inner surface of the choroid of the cat's eye there is a shiny layer (tapetum, or mirror). It reflects light onto the retina and thereby enhances the light irritation of the visual cells, increasing their sensitivity in low light.

The same shiny layer causes the cat's eyes to seem to glow in almost complete darkness.

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 ... >>

Ingenic tablet with Android 4.0 for $120 17.01.2012

The Chinese company Ingenic Semiconductor, which develops processors based on the MIPS architecture, has entered the US market with an inexpensive tablet model with Android 4.0 operating system. The $120 device is powered by Ingenic's own XBurst processor. The tablet is equipped with a seven-inch screen.

By the way, judging by the description, we are talking about the NOVO7 tablet, which MIPS Technologies, a partner of Ingenic Semiconductor, introduced at the end of last year.

The tablet's components are said to cost $35 and its FOB price is $85, making the product profitable even at a relatively low retail price. At home, Ingenic expects to ship a million of these devices quarterly.

The development of Ingenic in the field of processors is sponsored by the Chinese government.
