106 Dalen, Nils Gustav
[br]b. 30 November 1869 Stenstorp, Swedend. 9 December 1937 Stockholm, Sweden[br]Swedish physicist and engineer who was awarded the Nobel Prize for his "sun valve".[br]Nils Gustav Dalen is probably best known as the inventor of the solid-fuel Aga Cooker. He was confined at home for some time in the 1920s, having been blinded as the result of an accident, and found the time to consider the need for an efficient, clean, attractive-looking cooker that would be economical in fuel consumption. The resultant cooking range of 1924 was based on sound scientific principles, was simple to manage and needed a minimum of attention.The first Aga contained a cast-iron firebox enclosed in an insulated jacket of kieselguhr. The firebox was connected to cast-iron hotplates and ovens, all designed so that the heat was conducted to the various parts at precisely the correct temperatures for all types of cooking: simmering, boiling, roasting, baking and grilling. The hotplate heat was maintained at the desired temperature by way of insulated hinged covers that were lifted only when the hotplate was in use. The Aga was made in Sweden and was introduced into Britain in 1929. It was noted for being costly to purchase but inexpensive to run as no energy was wasted.Dalen is also known for his invention of the "sun valve", a device which, as required, automatically lighted or extinguished light beacons and buoys; this invention brought him the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1912.DY -
107 Pascal, Blaise
SUBJECT AREA: Electronics and information technology[br]b. 19 June 1623 Clermont Ferrand, Franced. 19 August 1662 Paris, France[br]French mathematician, physicist and religious philosopher.[br]Pascal was the son of Etienne Pascal, President of the Court of Aids. His mother died when he was 3 years old and he was brought up largely by his two sisters, one of whom was a nun at Port Royal. They moved to Paris in 1631 and again to Rouen ten years later. He received no formal education. In 1654 he was involved in a carriage accident in which he saw a mystical vision of God and from then on confined himself to philosophical rather than scientific matters. In the field of mathematics he is best known for his work on conic sections and on the laws of probability. As a youth he designed a calculating machine of which, it is said, some seventy were made. His main contribution to technology was his elucidation of the laws of hydrostatics which formed the basis of all hydrostatic machines in subsequent years. Pascal, however, did not put these laws to any practical use: that was left to the English cabinet-maker and engineer Joseph Bramah more than a century later. Suffering from indifferent health, Pascal persuaded his brother-in-law Périer to repeat the experiments of Evangelista Torricelli on the pressure of the atmosphere. This involved climbing the 4,000 ft (1,220 m) of the Puy de Dôme, a mountain close to Clermont, with a heavy mercury-in-glass barometer. The experiment was reported in the 1647 pamphlet "Expériences nouvelles touchant le vide". The Hydrostatic Law was laid down by Pascal in Traité de l'équilibre des liqueurs, published a year after his death. In this he established the fact that in a fluid at rest the pressure is transmitted equally in all directions.[br]Bibliography1647, "Expériences nouvelles touchant le vide". 1663, Traité de l'équilibre des liqueurs.Further ReadingJ.Mesnard, 1951, Pascal, His Life and Works.I.McNeil, 1972, Hydraulic Power, London: Longmans.IMcN -
108 Steinheil, Carl August von
[br]b. 1801 Roppoltsweiler, Alsaced. 1870 Munich, Germany[br]German physicist, founder of electromagnetic telegraphy in Austria, and photographic innovator and lens designer.[br]Steinheil studied under Gauss at Göttingen and Bessel at Königsberg before jointing his parents at Munich. There he concentrated on optics before being appointed Professor of Physics and Mathematics at the University of Munich in 1832. Immediately after the announcement of the first practicable photographic processes in 1839, he began experiments on photography in association with another professor at the University, Franz von Kobell. Steinheil is reputed to have made the first daguerreotypes in Germany; he certainly constructed several cameras of original design and suggested minor improvements to the daguerreotype process. In 1849 he was employed by the Austrian Government as Head of the Department of Telegraphy in the Ministry of Commerce. Electromagnetic telegraphy was an area in which Steinheil had worked for several years previously, and he was now appointed to supervise the installation of a working telegraphic system for the Austrian monarchy. He is considered to be the founder of electromagnetic telegraphy in Austria and went on to perform a similar role in Switzerland.Steinheil's son, Hugo Adolph, was educated in Munich and Augsburg but moved to Austria to be with his parents in 1850. Adolph completed his studies in Vienna and was appointed to the Telegraph Department, headed by his father, in 1851. Adolph returned to Munich in 1852, however, to concentrate on the study of optics. In 1855 the father and son established the optical workshop which was later to become the distinguished lens-manufacturing company C.A. Steinheil Söhne. At first the business confined itself almost entirely to astronomical optics, but in 1865 the two men took out a joint patent for a wide-angle photographic lens claimed to be free of distortion. The lens, called the "periscopic", was not in fact free from flare and not achromatic, although it enjoyed some reputation at the time. Much more important was the achromatic development of this lens that was introduced in 1866 and called the "Aplanet"; almost simultaneously a similar lens, the "Rapid Rentilinear", was introduced by Dallmeyer in England, and for many years lenses of this type were fitted as the standard objective on most photographic cameras. During 1866 the elder Steinheil relinquished his interest in lens manufacturing, and control of the business passed to Adolph, with administrative and financial affairs being looked after by another son, Edward. After Carl Steinheil's death Adolph continued to design and market a series of high-quality photographic lenses until his own death.[br]Further ReadingJ.M.Eder, 1945, History of Photography, trans. E.Epstean, New York (a general account of the Steinheils's work).Most accounts of photographic lens history will give details of the Steinheils's more important work.

Words are but the images of matter... to fall in love with them is all one as to fall in love with a picture. (Bacon, 1878, p. 120)Chamberlin, Tracy, Dewey, Binet and others have shown that the child's symbols are action-words, i.e., their content is action. There is also practically universal agreement on the fact that the first symbols of the child are in reality word-sentences designating action and object or subject, or all three at once. (Markey, 1928, p. 50)The child can very readily learn at the age of three that "right" and "left" each refers to a side of the body-but ah me, which one?... What is set up first is a conceptual organization. By the age of six the word "right" clearly and immediately means sidedness to the child. A considerable conceptual elaboration has already occurred, and the stimulus effectively arouses that structure; but it arouses no prompt, specific response.... With such facts, it becomes nonsense to explain man's conceptual development as exclusively consisting of verbal associations. (Hebb, 1949, p. 118)The use of language is not confined to its being the medium through which we communicate ideas to one another.... Words are the instrument by which we form all our abstractions, by which we fashion and embody our ideas, and by which we are enabled to glide along a series of premises and conclusions with a rapidity so great as to leave in memory no trace of the successive steps of this process; and we remain unconscious of how much we owe to this. (Roget, quoted in Minsky, 1986, p. 197)Any attempt at a philosophical arrangement under categories of the words of our language must reveal the fact that it is impossible to separate and circumscribe the several groups by absolutely distinct boundaries. Were we to disengage their interwoven ramifications, and seek to confine every word to its main or original meaning, we should find some secondary meaning has become so firmly associated with many words and phrases, that to sever the alliance would be to deprive our language of the richness due to an infinity of natural adaptations.

111 as fast as one's legs can carry one
стремительно, стремглав; ≈ со всех ног, сломя голову, что есть духуJohnny had been confined to the house all day, save when he had been sent for a message; looking right and left down the street before he started; and then darting to the shop to get what was wanted, and back again to the safety of his home as fast as his legs could carry him, for there was war between him and his catholic comrades. (S. O'Casey, ‘I Knock at the Door’, ‘The Red above the Green’) — Джонни целыми днями отсиживался дома и выходил, только когда его посылали за чем-нибудь; и прежде чем пуститься по улице, смотрел направо и налево, а потом со всех ног мчался в лавочку, покупал что нужно и - назад под крылышко матери, ибо между ним и мальчиками-католиками шла война.
Run round as fast as your legs can carry you, and tell Georgie Middleton to come here at once... (S. O'Casey, ‘Pictures in the Hallway’, ‘Death on the Doorstep’) — Беги что есть духу к Джорджи Миддлтону и скажи, что я велю ему сейчас же прийти сюда...
He clambered out of the window, adjusted his costume hastily, and fled up the village as fast as his fat little legs would carry him. (H. G. Wells, ‘The Invisible Man’, ch. 12) — Мистер Бантинг вылез в окно, наскоро поправил свой костюм и пустился бежать по улице со всей скоростью, на какую только были способны его короткие толстые ножки.

112 Jim Crow
1. n phr1) презр. Джим Кроу (кличка, данная неграм американскими расистами) [первонач. амер.; по названию песни Т. Райса (Th. Rise, 1808-60), исполнявшейся в негритянском шоу]2) джимкроуизм, расовая дискриминация, расизм, изоляция негров; расистские мероприятия, направленные против негров (тж. Jim Crowism)2. adj phrJim Crow specifically dates from the great Populist upsurge of the 1890's... (G. Green, ‘The Enemy Forgotten’, ch. X) — Возникновение джимкроуизма не случайно совпадает по времени с великим подъемом популистского движения девяностых годов прошлого века...
1) негритянский; предназначенный только для негровIn France, too, the Negro troops, themselves segregated into Jim Crow regiments, had been received by the masses of the people with far more of a spirit of fraternity than they had ever known in the United States. (W. Foster, ‘History of Communist Party of the United States’, ch. 16) — И во Франции "черные" полки, в которых служили только негры, встречали такое дружелюбное отношение, какого они никогда не знали в Америке.
2) направленный против негров, антинегритянский, расистский...the Jim Crow system is by no means confined to the South; the North, too, although in somewhat less barbarous forms, is saturated with this antidemocratic poison. (W. Foster, ‘The Twilight of World Capitalism’, ch. IV) —...сегрегация негров распространена отнюдь не только на Юге. Этим антидемократическим ядом отравлен и Север, хотя там это проявляется в менее варварских формах.
3. v phrIt was mainly during this decade and the years immediately following that the Jim Crow statutes of the South were enacted. (V. Perlo, ‘American Imperialism’, ch. IV) — Законы, направленные против негров, были изданы главным образом в 90-х годах прошлого и в начале нынешнего столетия.
угнетать, подвергать расовой дискриминации (особ. негров)‘They Jim Crow me and lynch me any time they want to... Suppose I was to lynch and Jim Crow white folks, where would I be? Huh?’ (L. Hughes, ‘Simple Speaks His Mind’, ‘Simple Prays a Prayer’) — Меня постоянно унижают. Даже могут линчевать в любую минуту... А если я начну унижать и линчевать белых, где я окажусь, а?

113 Horse Hair
The long, lustrous hair from the tails and manes of horses. Cleaning, dressing and curling operations are carried on at many points, but the production of horse-hair textiles is confined virtually to the West of England. The hair is woven to make carriage and furniture seatings, interlinings, flesh rubbers, rugs and carpets. In Bradford some success has attended attempts to use horse hair as a core for worsted yarn for interlinings. In Worcester an old-established firm has succeeded in making a continuous thread of horse hair, which is then used as weft, in combination with a cotton or worsted warp. Horse-hair lining cloths are manufactured in Philadelphia (U.S.A.), the material is also worked in Germany, notably at Leipzig. Horse hair is sorted over suction screens, and is dyed black with logwood. The hair is curled by being twisted into a rope, soaked two hours in water, and then baked for twelve hours at 350 deg. F. The hair is left for three days to cool. Long white uncurled hairs are used for violin bows and shorter hairs of the same colour for brushes and plumes. Fishing lines are made from the brown hair, and selected lustreless hair is used for lawyers' wigs. The United Kingdom, North and South America, Australia, Germany, Russia and China are the chief sources of supply. -
114 Watteau
A pattern or design similar to those produced by Watteau, an artist during the reign of Louis XV (1715-1774). The most popular Watteau styles were: - (1) The Watteau back, which is a style of woman's dress in which the fullness of the back is confined at the neck in plaits or gathers and falls from there to the hem of the skirt, sometimes forming a long train. (2) The Watteau bodice, having a square neck and short sleeves, terminating in a ruffle. (3) The Watteau mantle, which was a cape with loose-plaited back. (4) The Watteau hat, which was flat on top and raised towards the back by a bandeau. -

Galsworthy). If linguistic study be confined to a purely literary form of language, and especially to the literary forms of the ancient languages, there is a tendency for the student to get into the habit of considering language as something cut and dried, and fixed once for all in the definite mould (H. C. Wyld). By the end of the evening they had their plans for carrying out the robbery all cut and dried with nothing, they thought left to chance2) тpaфapeтный, шaблoнный, бaнaльный; лишённый яpкocти, opигинaльнocти, cуxoйHe was the usual cut and dry apothecary... and about as emotional as bagpipe (R.

119 conduction current
ток проводимости
Явление направленного движения свободных носителей электрического заряда в веществе или в пустоте, количественно характеризуемое скалярной величиной, равной производной по времени от электрического заряда, переносимого свободными носителями заряда сквозь рассматриваемую поверхность.

(electric) current
(conduction) current
scalar quantity equal to the flux of the electric current density J through a given directed surface S:
where endA is the vector surface element
NOTE 1 – The electric current through a surface is equal to the limit of the quotient of the electric charge transferred through that surface during a time interval by the duration of this interval when this duration tends to zero.
NOTE 2 – For charge carriers confined to a surface, the electric current is defined through a curve of this surface (see the note to term “lineic electric current”).

courant (électrique), m
courant (de conduction), m
grandeur scalaire égale au flux de la densité de courant électrique J à travers une surface orientée donnée S:
où endA est l'élément vectoriel de surface
NOTE 1 – Le courant électrique à travers une surface est égal à la limite du quotient de la charge électrique traversant cette surface pendant un intervalle de temps par la durée de cet intervalle lorsque cette durée tend vers zéro.
NOTE 2 – Pour des porteurs de charge confinés sur une surface, le courant électrique est défini à travers une courbe de cette surface (voir la note au terme "densité linéique de courant").
