Focus Description:

After shuffling the deck, the magician lays out a pile of nine cards face down. The spectator chooses one of these cards; remembers it and puts it on top of the pile. The rest of the deck is placed on a pile, and. thus, the seen card is the ninth one from the bottom.

Now the artist takes the deck and begins to lay out the cards one at a time in a pile face up, while counting aloud in reverse order from 10 to 1. If the numerical value of the laid card coincides with the called number, for example, a four appeared at the time when he said: "four"), then the laying of cards in this pile stops and the laying of the next pile begins. If such a coincidence of the appearing card and the spoken number did not happen, then the countdown ends at the number 1 and the pile "beats", that is, it is covered with the next card in order (face down), taken from the top of the deck.

So four piles are laid out, after which the numerical values of the "unbeaten" (open) cards lying on top of the piles are added up. Having now counted this number of cards from the deck, the viewer finds under the last of them the card he has chosen.

Focus secret:

The ninth card from the bottom is the forty-fourth from the top. If no match occurs, 11 cards are laid aside. If a match occurs on a card with a numerical value i, then 11-n cards are counted, counting it as well; the spectator then counts n cards, giving again 11 cards.

Repeating the procedure four times gives 44 cards, which is what is required.

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 ... >>

Photon camera tracks endoscope in human body 10.09.2017

Proper tracking of the probe during various medical tests and diagnostics often depends on the skill of the doctor performing the procedure or requires expensive imaging techniques. A team of scientists from the University of Edinburgh has developed a photonic camera that can detect traces of light from an endoscope tip through 20 centimeters of tissue.

Most photons scatter by reflecting off tissues. But scientists have found that two kinds of photons pass through the tissues of the body with a low level of scattering. They can be isolated using special sensitive single-photon detectors. By focusing on these photons and ignoring others, the researchers created a prototype camera that can identify a medical device to within 1 centimeter.

The camera was first successfully tested by detecting an endoscope inside the lungs of sheep, after which the researchers began testing the new technology on humans. It took the camera 17 seconds to create an accurate exposure for the image.

The developers are confident that in the future they will be able to reduce the time required to create an exposure, as well as improve the accuracy of the location of the endoscope, and in the future the camera will be able to visualize the location of a medical device in real time. But even with the current delay time and low accuracy, the device is already suitable for various types of endoscopic examinations of lung segments.
