Later, Jacob migrated to Egypt, where he was reunited with his son Joseph Joseph, one of the heroes of the patriarchal narratives of the Book of Genesis. He is presented as the favored son of Jacob and Rachel, sold as a boy into slavery by his brothers, who were jealous of Joseph's dreams and of his coat of many colors given him by Jacob. In Egypt, Joseph gained a position of authority in the household of his master, Potiphar, and was later imprisoned on the false accusations of Potiphar's wife.
Extractions: Nach dem Schwabenkrieg begann 1508 eine zweite bernische Unternehmung beim Umbau des Schlosses Lenzburg. Bauherr Rudolf Huber und Hans Vögeli, Werkmeister der Stadt Bern, erschienen in Lenzburg, um den Bauvorgang zu regeln, nämlich "das Haus auf dem Schloss Lenzburg, genannt des Herzogen Haus, wiederum in Dach und Gemach zu bringen". In diesem Zusammenhang wurde laut den "Verdingen" die Renovation des baufälligen Herzogen- oder Ritterhauses 1509 ausgeführt von den Zimmermeistern Ulrich Amsler, Lenzburg und Heinrich Sumerau, Mellingen sowie durch den Maurermeister Lienhart, der einen Anbau auf der Kapellenseite herzurichten hatte.

Other descriptions of Jacob Amsler Jacob Amsler was a mathemetician (b.16 Nov 1823 d. 3 Jan 1912) born in Stalden bei Brugg , in the Vispa valley and died in Schaffhausen Switzerland . On graduating from school, he went to the University of Jena and then to the University of Königsberg to study theology. At Königsberg he changed courses, deciding to focus on mathematics and physics after meeting the inspiring Franz Neumann . Amsler gained his doctorate from Königsberg in 1848. He is credited with having invented the planimeter Biography http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Amsler.html
Polar And Linear Planimeters The original polar planimeter was invented in 1854 by jacob amsler, a Swissmathematician and inventor of many measuring instruments. http://persweb.wabash.edu/facstaff/footer/Planimeter/Polar&Linear.htm
Extractions: How They Are Used How They Work The main working parts of polar and linear planimeters are the same. Each has a rod, called the tracer arm, one end of which is the tracing point T, and a wheel attached to the rod with its axis parallel to the rod. A scale attached to the wheel records how much the wheel turns. Polar Planimeter Linear Planimeter The two planimeters differ in the movement of the end of the tracer arm opposite the tracer point. In the linear planimeter, that end is restricted to move along a straight line. The drawing suggests that it runs along a track, but a more common way to cause this motion is to have this end attached to a set of wheels that are fixed to an axis so that the wheels turn together. In the polar planimeter, the end opposite the tracer point is restricted to move along a circle. This is done by making that point the hinge between the tracer arm and a secondary arm, one end of which (the pole) is fixed. The original polar planimeter was invented in 1854 by Jacob Amsler , a Swiss mathematician and inventor of many measuring instruments. It was so much simpler, easier to use, and more accurate than

Extractions: Abacus and Soroban, Mechanical calculators The earliest digital computing device known is the Abacus. the Chinese Abacus is largely unchanged since early records reaching back to ~500 B.C. The notation is bi-quinary: an upper deck selecting the 0-5 or 6-10 range, and the lower deck representing (in unary notation) 0-5 or 6-10. The beads are moved to add or subtract, and when all beads in a deck are up a carry to the next position is made. Multiplication and division are carried py repetetive addition and subtraction, much like the mechanical calculators shown on Floor 1. Divison on an abacus was described in Latin by Bishop Gerbert of Navarro, Spain, who later, in AD. 999, become Pope Sylvester II.

Extractions: Accessories Indicators were customarily accompanied by a variety of accessories. Advertising literature published in 1917, for example, shows that each Crosby instrument came in a lockable velvet-lined walnut case with a compartmented lid. In addition to the indicator, the case contained one spring and a small scale-ruler, one straight steam cock, fifty diagram cards, a hank of indicator cord, a spring bracket, a cord adjuster, one small oil bottle, a turn-screw, a hollow wrench, and an instruction booklet. Dobbie McInnes indicators of the same vintage were usually supplied in mahogany boxes with a hinged platform and a compartment in the lid. In addition to an indicator cord, each box also contained a cylinder cock, a spare recording drum spring, a hexagon spanner, a turn-screw, an oil bottle, a set square, a detent-cord adjuster, a small sheet-metal tube containing spare pencil leads, a cord-adjusting plate, a radial dividing board, and a cylinder cleaning rod. Some cases will also be found with a short tubular wrench. Additional springs or scales could be purchased separately, as the supply of indicator springs varied according to individual requirements. Some cases had provision for as many as twelve springs, but the absence of springs from a case does not necessarily mean that they were always there: indicators that were purchased specifically for use with a solitary single-cylinder engine (or for one particular cylinder of a triple-expansion engine) may only have had one spring!
Extractions: Lucy Yukenbarri is an Aboriginal artist from Balgo Hills in Western Australia, Lucy is a respected senior custodian with a vast knowledge of the waterholes in the Great Sandy Desert. She began painting in 1989. Lucy's early works followed standard Balgo Hills methods of forming lines by means of rows of dotting and of outlining icons in a similar way. A quietly creative artist, she then moved to another technique using single colour fields of dotting, later going on to a next step of painting her dots so closely together that they converged, creating dense masses of pigment on the surface of the canvas. This, together with her exploration of the visual possibilities of black icons for waterholes and soakwaters and of dark green and blue, gave her work a distinctive style, producing effects unique in desert Aboriginal art. As a result, her work became sought after in the marketplace.

Basically there are two varieties of modern electrical computers, analog and digital, corresponding respectively to the much older slide rule and abacus. Analog computers deal with continuous information, such as real numbers and waveforms, while digital computers handle discrete information, such as letters and digits. An analog computer is limited to the approximate solution of mathematical problems for which a physical analog can be found, while a digital computer can carry out any precisely specified logical procedure on any symbolic information, and can, in principle, obtain numerical results to any desired accuracy. For these reasons, digital computers have become the focal point of modern computer science, although analog computing facilities remain of great importance, particularly for specialized applications. 2.
