Cat paw. Travel Tips

Tourist tips

Name knot "cat's paw" got into the Russian maritime language from English. In this language, it is called "The Cat's Paw", which should be translated as "cat's paw". But due to some misunderstanding, this knot has long been called "cat's paws", although in English the noun "Paw" (paw) is in the singular, and not in the plural (Paws). Indeed, a tied knot looks like a cat's paw. This knot is used in cases where the sling must be attached to the hook in such a way that there is no excess slack.

To tie this knot, a loop of the sling is placed on top of its two ends - two small loops are obtained, each of which is simultaneously twisted outward several times, depending on how much the sling needs to be reduced. Then the loops are brought together and put on the hook. The "cat's paw" is not tightly clamped, and the knot is easy to remove from the hook if there is no load on the line.

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 ... >>

Dual core controllers for the automotive industry 30.09.2006

Renesas Technology, one of whose fields of activity is the production of microcontrollers (MCUs) used in automobiles, predicts the emergence of dual-core products in this area during the period from 2008 to 2010.

Recently, the complexity and number of solutions used in cars has been growing at an accelerated pace. An example is given by BMW, whose vehicles used MCUs grew from 19 in 1999 to 20 in 2004. Only the airbag system currently requires the installation of a dozen microcontrollers, a couple more are required for the information board and steering.

Equipping cars with global positioning systems and entertainment functions also stimulates the growth in the number of microcontrollers.
