Focus Description:

You will need two drinks, two cocktail straws and one safety pin.

Focus Straws

Make one hole in both straws, stepping back about 3 cm from its edge. The holes should be approximately 2-3 mm in diameter. Insert the straws (with the holes facing out) into the glasses of water. Challenge someone in the audience to a competition to see who can drink water through a straw the fastest.

At the same time, start drinking water through a straw. At the same time, you yourself drink, closing the hole in the straw with your finger so that the water is sucked through it in the usual way. Your opponent's drink will not rise up the straw.

Focus Straws

When you've half-emptyed your glass, pretend to notice him falling behind and offer to switch drinks. Maybe he will decide that it is your straw, but in any case he will be confused. It won't work with your glass either.

Focus secret:

The secret of the trick is in sleight of hand: the straw must be inserted into the glass imperceptibly. When exercising, do not look at the hole in the straw, so that your eyes will not give you away.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean.

The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Cypress CYFB0072 4,8Gb/s video buffer chip 25.11.2013

Cypress Semiconductor announced the start of serial production of the CYFB0072 chip, which is a high-bandwidth video buffer. Buffer size - 72 Mbit, memory type - SRAM, logical organization - FIFO (First-In, First-Out) stack. The buffer is equipped with independent read and write ports. Using a simple interface, according to the manufacturer, reduces the cost of designing and debugging structures.

High-definition video is enjoying growing popularity in numerous professional and consumer electronics applications. According to the manufacturer, the CYFB0072 frame buffer is a good alternative to the standard DRAM-based FIFO buffers used in such cases. The chip allows you to maintain the integrity of the signal and operates at frequencies up to 133 MHz, corresponding to a throughput of up to 4,8 Gb / s. Buffers are in demand when synchronizing blocks operating at different frequencies, implementing the functions of combining several images and converting scanning parameters during broadcasting and scanning, as well as in radar and sonar systems.

The manufacturer considers a wide operating temperature range - from -40 °C to +85 °C and no need for an external clock generator resonator to be the advantages of the novelty. Two modifications are available: CYFB0072V33L and CYFB0072V18, designed for a supply voltage of 3,3 and 1,8 V, respectively. Both are available in 14mm x 22mm BGA packages with 209 pins.
