1. Valcanization (1839) Goodyear uses heat and sulfur to increase the usefulness of rubber. The idea of curing rubber goes back to prehistoric times. The Aztecs, for example, processed rubber by mixing latex with vine juice. However, vulcanization, as we now think of it, was invented by Charles Goodyear (1800-1860) in 1839 (according to his own account). Although Goodyear patented his invention in 1844, he died with huge debts in 1860. Named after Valcan, the Roman god of fire, valcanization is a process of curing rubber using high temperatures and the addition of sulfur. In its nature state, rubber is sticky, deforms when warm, and is brittle when cold. But by linking together the polymer molecules in rubber with bridges of sulfur atoms, it become much harder, less sticky, more resistant, and much more durable. As a result, valcanized rubber has a whole rang of useful applications, not least in sealing gaps between moving parts, thereby playing a crucial part in the development ...

Morse And Vali communication electrically. Named after Samule Morse (1791- 1844) - Morse code is a simple code in which letters are represented by dits and dahs. The code, which is a milestone in longrange communication, via a series of electrical signals. In 1844, several years after Morseand his partner Alfred Vail had created the code, Morse demonstrated to the American Congress the power of the telegraph by using the code. To the awe, he sent the message "What hath God wrought"from Washington to Baltimore at a speed that no horse or car could hope to match. Congress was skeptical of Morse for several years before they agreed to build the Washington - Baltimore line (at the enormous cost of $30,000). Morse code took off and was soon used internationally by militaries, railroads, and businesses. The first form of radio communication was "wireless telegraphy,"which involved transmitting Morse code via radio. Morse code assings a single unit of time to a dit an...

1. Skeleton  The Skeleton is a mobile framework made up of 206 bones, approximately half of which are in the hands and feet. Although individual bones are rigid, the skeleton as a whole is remarkably flexible and allows the human body a huge range of movement. The skeleton serves as an anchorage for the skeletal muscles, and as a protective cage for the body's internal organs. Female bones are usually smaller and lighter than male bones, and the female pelvis is shallower and has a wider cavity. 2. Skull The skull is the most complicated bony structure of the body but every feature serves a purpose. Internally, the main hollow chamber of the skull has three levels that support the brain, with every bump and hollow corresponding to the shape of the brain. Underneath and towards the back of the skull is a large round hole, the foramen magnum, through which the spinal cord passes. To the front of this are many samller openings through which nerves, arteries, and veins pass...
