A simple bayonet. Travel Tips

Tourist tips

Two identical half bayonets make up a knot that sailors call with a simple bayonet.

The expression "throw half a bayonet" means to add to the already made knot one more run-out and the crossing of the running end around the root end of the cable. The diagram shows a non-tightening knot widely used in maritime affairs - one of the simplest and most reliable knots for attaching mooring lines to mooring bollards, bitten, guns and bollards. To distinguish a correctly tied bayonet from an incorrect bayonet, the two loops of the knot must be brought together. If this turns out to be a knotted knot (see Fig. 48), then it means that a simple bayonet was tied correctly. For such a bayonet, its running end, both after the first and after the second peg, should exit equally above or below its end. In an inverted, i.e., incorrectly tied simple bayonet (Fig. 10, b), the running end after the second pebble goes in the opposite direction, not like after the first. When two loops of an inverted knotted bayonet are brought together, instead of a bleached one, it turns out cow knot.

Rice. 10. A simple bayonet: a - properly tied; b - inverted (wrong)

If the half bayonets of a simple bayonet are made in different directions, then when the cable is pulled, they will converge together and the knot will tighten. The main use of a simple bayonet in the navy is to fasten the mooring ends to the mooring fixtures, fasten the falls of the guy lines of cargo arrows to the butts and eyelets, and fasten the cargo pendant to the load being lifted.

The maximum number of half bayonets in such a knot under any circumstances should not exceed three, since this is quite enough and the strength of the knot as a whole will not increase with a larger number of half bayonets. The reliability of this mooring knot is eloquently expressed by the old English maritime proverbs: "Two half-bayonets saved the queen's ship" and "Three half-bayonets are more than enough for the royal yacht."

Sailors often use two simple bayonets to temporarily connect two mooring lines, cable lines and perlines.

On the shore, this simple but reliable knot can be used in all cases when the cable needs to be temporarily attached to some object for strong traction, for example, by a hook when towing a car.

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 ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Face recognition for lending in Sberbank 30.01.2014

Sberbank of Russia has put into commercial operation a face recognition system that allows it to automatically detect cases of forgery and falsification of documents when applying for a loan. The solution was developed by the Technoserv company and is also used by law enforcement agencies to identify individuals using an identikit.

Using machine vision technologies, the program builds a mathematical model based on a snapshot of the face of a potential Sberbank borrower that contains information about the geometry of the client's face (the so-called metric template), and then compares this model with the templates included in one or another sample, for example, "stop -list of the bank" or a list of customers who have entered early delay on the loan.

Comparison across all databases takes place within a few seconds, Technoserv representatives say. At the same time, each application is run through almost a dozen databases, which contain more than 20 million sets of documents and photographs of borrowers.

The basis of the photo analysis solution implemented at Sberbank was the Kaskad-Search facial recognition system, which identifies individuals from a photograph or an identikit. This system was developed by Technoserv for use in the operational, reference and expert work of law enforcement agencies.

This solution was adapted to the requirements and business processes of the bank, and the team of the Reksoft company, which is part of the Technoserv group, created an ergonomic interface for the new system.

The facial recognition system has become an element of Sberbank's "Credit Factory" - an automated system for issuing loans based on centralized processing and maintenance of loan products. Cascade-Poisk uses an archive of photographs of borrowers who have previously applied for a loan to the bank to identify fraudulent schemes using high quality fake documents.

In particular, thanks to the system, cases of using documents of bona fide clients by fraudsters can be detected. For example, the system is able to detect cases when the same person submits documents under two different surnames or the same passport data is entered for two different persons.
