THREE STORIES OF STEVE JOBS

THREE STORIES OF STEVE JOBSRussian translation of the speech by Steve jobs to graduates at Stanford University.

“I’m honored to be with you today at the presentation of diplomas of one of the best universities in the world. I did not graduate from the institutions. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. And that’s all. Nothing big. Just three stories.
The first story is about connecting the dots. I dropped Reed College after the first six months of training, but remained there as a “guest” of about 18 months, until he finally left. Why did I drop out?
It all started before I was born.

HEARING AIDS

HEARING AIDSBasically all hearing AIDS have the same structure. The basic element of a hearing aid is a sound amplifier. It is connected to the microphone, perceiving external sounds, and the phone (speaker) reproducing amplified sound. In addition, there are controls (volume control, switch, switch programs) and a battery. As the complexity of hearing AIDS and reduce its size the number of controllers is reduced, and currently remain, in essence, only the power switch, which is combined with the battery cover.

MICROCAR FDD

SCOOTER FDDI was born in 1944, and almost from the first year of life I was haunted by a sound — an ominous growl bearings rolling on asphalt. The sound that accompanied the movement on a small wooden carts returned from the war disabled legless…

And at that time was a lot — according to current estimates, over three million. The majority of former fighters of order-bearers disappeared in the vast expanses of our country, but many settled in cities, including the capital of our country. And their only vehicle was at the time knocked together from planks truck with ball bearings, equipped with a pair of rough, reminiscent of the iron wood, which the disabled, starting from the road, causing her to move…

RECOVERY SYSTEM — “ROTOR”

SYSTEM OF SALVATION — Only four of the class includes one of the most “fresh” categories of model rockets — on the duration of the flight with the rotor — S9. The competition in this category will start only single-stage models, which utilize the principle of autorotation of the main rotor as the only way to “soft” landing on the ground. Autorotation should occur only along the longitudinal axis of the model and result in the erection and operation of the rotor.

SENSITIVE METAL DETECTOR

SENSITIVE DETECTORI have designed the metal detector works on the principle of beating is generated due to the difference of the oscillation model and tunable oscillators (5-10-th harmonic, selects the nearest frequency). This allows to increase the sensitivity of the instrument to the point that it becomes possible to detect, say, a five-kopeck coin in the soil at 10 cm, and a steel manhole or pipe — to 65-cm depth. Performed on the available element base, a metal detector does not require careful tuning and maintenance. Power supply — galvanic battery “Crown”.
