1. HEART SECRETS — OUTWARD

For many years, medicine has been searching for effective methods of diagnosing heart diseases. An ultrasound scanner developed by specialists of the Austrian company “Picker” makes it possible to detect all abnormalities in time: after all, the television image of a working heart clearly shows whether everything is in order with this organ.
2. NEITHER FIRE NOR HEAT FRIGHTENS US

In any case — whether a fire is small or large — the person fighting it must be thoroughly protected. Specialists constantly develop new models of protective suits, carefully examining their advantages. In this suit, created by the West German company “Escalor,” a firefighter fears neither flames, nor high temperatures, nor aggressive fire-extinguishing liquids.

Since industry has not yet established mass production of electric cars, workers of enterprises that urgently need such a vehicle often design and build it themselves. This electric car was created in Yerevan. It has passed tests perfectly and is recommended for “internal” use.
4. TIGER, OH TRANSISTOR TIGER...
When radio components fail, there is no need to hurry to dispose of “scrap.” As you can see, it can be used for artistic appliqué, creating very expressive pictures.
5. HOW DO BUTTERFLIES FLY?

This question still concerns scientists. Moreover, the biomechanical processes associated with the fluttering of insects remain unclear and therefore intriguing. Researchers have to conduct very delicate experiments, trying not to cause significant harm to the “test subject.”
6. A ‘CHAMPION’ AMONG CHAMPIONS

The new machine is the creation of the Canadian company “Champion.” It is the largest of its kind in the world. With a single pass, the “Champion” clears a strip 7.6 m wide, cutting off a layer 1.4 m thick!
7. WELDER, WORK BETTER!

A rupture of an oil or gas pipeline at welding points can lead to dangerous consequences. Therefore, defectoscopy of welded joints is becoming increasingly common in everyday construction practice. This portable X-ray device is capable of checking the quality of a welder’s work in just a few seconds.
