SUBJECT AREA: Electronics and information technology, Telecommunications

[br]

b. 1 January 1874 Chicago, Illinois, USA

d. 11 December 1961 Claremont, California, USA

[br]

American radio engineer whose work on radio-detection helped lay the foundations for radar.

[br]

Taylor gained his degree in engineering from Northwest University, Evanston, Illinois, then spent a time at the University of Gottingen. On his return to the USA he taught successively at Michigan State University, at Lansing, and at the universities of Wisconsin at Madison and North Dakota at Grand Forks. From 1923 until 1945 he supervised the Radio Division at the US Naval Research Laboratories. There he carried out studies of short-wave radio propagation and confirmed Heaviside's 1925 theory of the reflection characteristics of the ionosphere. In the 1920s and 1930s he investigated radio echoes, and in 1933, with L.C.Young and L.A.Hyland, he filed a patent for a system of radio-detection that contributed to the subsequent development of radar.

13 back

Спина. Наблюдение за окружающим нас миром позволило создать множество выражений со словом back. Мы все знакомы с тем, что кошки, если их разозлить, выгибают спину дугой, таким образом, в английском языке уже около 200 лет существует выраженние to get one's back up, передающее ту же идею, но уже по отношению к людям. To get one's back up (поднять свою спину) значит рассердиться, хотя чаще говорят getting/putting someone's back up (рассердить кого-либо): Look if I were you, I wouldn't say anything to your father about the trouble you are having with the police. You don't want to get his back up just before you touch him for five grand. — Послушай, на твоём месте я бы не говорил отцу ничего о проблемах с полицией. Ты же не хочешь рассердить его перед тем как раскрутить его на пять тысяч. Когда наши жалобы или пожелания остаются без внимания, мы говорим: I've told you time and again not to leave the fridge door open, but you take no notice at all. It's like water off a duck's back. — Я говорила тебе бессчётное количество раз не оставлять дверцу холодильника открытой, но ты совсем не обращаешь внимания. Как с гуся вода! [Как вода со спины утки!] To be on someone's back (быть на чьей-либо спине) значит раздражать, сильно отвлекать кого-либо: How can I concentrate when you keep interrupting? Get off my back! — Как я могу сосредоточиться, когда ты постоянно перебиваешь? Отстань, оставь меня в покое. To put one's back into a task («впрячься в дело») значит сознательно прилагать усилия для выполения задачи, браться за работу с энергией: If you really put your back into it, you should be able to lay the foundations for the garage before the light starts to fade. — Если ты действительно постараешься, ты сможешь заложить фундамент для гаража до наступления темноты. Mind your backs! (Берегите свои спины!) другими словами — прочь с дороги!
