Focus Description:

All topological puzzles with cords begin with tying the hands with one piece of cord (Fig. 29). You can, for example, do such manipulations with the cord that a knot will appear on it; it can be ordinary or type eight. You can put a rubber ring on the cord and then remove it from the cord without untying or breaking the cord.

If two people are connected by hooked cords, as shown in Fig. 30, then the cords can be manipulated in such a way as to free them from the bundle.

Ris.30

The solution to all these puzzles is based on the fact that the ring formed by the cord, hands and body of the viewer is not really solid, but has breaks on the hands. To tie a knot on the cord, you need to do the following: form a loop on it, pass it from the inside under the ring tied to the hand, twist it once "(i.e. 180 °) and drag it back over the hand, pass it from the outside under the ring and drag above the arm forward. This forms an ordinary knot. The figure-eight knot will turn out in exactly the same way, but the loop must be twisted twice (360 °). passing under the rope ring, and then pulled over the hand and lowered onto the cord.By performing these manipulations in reverse order, you can, of course, remove the ring.

Two spectators, connected to each other as described above, are released as follows: the middle of the cord with which the hands of one spectator are tied is passed from the inside under the ring formed by the cord on the wrist of another spectator, pulled over the hand, and then passed back under the ring.

A very old trick with three beads strung on two threads put together is known as the "grandmother's necklace". (The idea of this trick is also used in many other tricks with ribbons and cords.) The trick begins with the demonstration of beads strung on two strands put together. Then, when the viewer pulls on the ends, the beads fall from the threads into the hands of the demonstrator.

On fig. 31 shows in section how the beads should be strung. Although it seems that both strands are threaded through all three beads, in reality, each of the strands "comes back", folding with itself.

The ends of the threads are crossed, as shown in Fig. 32.

If you now pull on them (Fig. 33), the beads will fall off the threads.

Related to topology are many methods of cutting and "gluing" cords, as well as a number of ingenious ways of tying and untying knots in cords, the ends of which are kept pinched during the demonstration.

A typical knot among many curious false knots is the following. They begin to tie it like an ordinary double knot (Fig. 34), and then thread one of the ends of the cord into the lower and then into the upper ring, as shown in fig. 35.

If you now pull the ends, the knot will immediately untie.

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. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. 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. ... >>

RRAM memory developed 26.07.2014

The amount of memory endowed with modern smartphones, relatively recently, would be the envy of not only a desktop PC, but also a server or workstation. In turn, a gigabyte or two of memory is a trifle against the background of what the development of specialists from Rice University can turn out to be.

Scientists have developed resistive random-access memory (RRAM) that is far more dense than any currently available memory. It is also important that the existing equipment is suitable for the manufacture of new memory. Scientists have already turned to manufacturers with a proposal to license the development.

Between the metal electrodes of the new memory, made of gold or platinum, there is a dielectric - porous silicon oxide, in which memory cells are formed. Under the action of a voltage applied to the electrodes, a conducting channel is formed or destroyed in the cell, changing the state of the cell.

The use of silicon oxide allows the use of proven technologies, reduces energy costs for rewriting, and makes the memory resistant to heat. In terms of power consumption, the memory supply voltage has been reduced to 2 V - about 13 times compared to previous samples. In terms of density, the new memory is many times superior to, for example, flash memory. As with flash memory, the cell is layered. But if it is possible to store up to three bits in one TLC NAND memory cell, then up to nine in an RRAM cell. According to project participants, a chip the size of a postage stamp can have a terabyte volume.
