9 February 1969 the Boeing 747 made its first flight. The world’s first long-haul double-deck wide-body passenger aircraft. At the time the Boeing 747 was the largest, heaviest and roomy airliner until the A380 in 2005. Of the plane two-deck layout, the upper much smaller than the bottom. A peculiar hump, which is the upper deck did the Boeing 747 one of the most recognizable aircraft in the world. Today it is one of the most popular in the world of wide-body passenger aircraft. The idea for the Boeing 747 occurred in the early 60-ies of XX century, when there was a rapid increase of air transportation. The Pan American company, which ordered this aircraft were very simple: more models 707 twice. First presented the project with two full-sized decks, but because of the difficulties with this scheme was abandoned in favor of a “humpback” version.

9 February 1996 announced the opening of Copernicia. This element was 112th in the periodic table of chemical elements. Its core consists of 112 protons and 173 neutrons and has a half life of about 34 seconds. Copernici belongs to the same group as zinc, cadmium and mercury. First to synthesize the element failed in the heavy ion research in Darmstadt, Germany. Two cores were obtained by reactions of accelerated nuclei of zinc-70 on a target of lead-208 in the heavy ion accelerator. Heavier isotopes copernicia in 2000 and 2004, received at the Joint Institute for nuclear research in Dubna, but as products of half-lives of isotopes Flerova. The opening of the 112-th element was recognized only in 2009 the International Union of pure and applied chemistry, and then began the process of approval of its name.

9 February 2010 the technology NVIDIA Optimus. With the help of it the company managed to increase battery life laptops offline. Optimus automatically distributes the load application on the GPU or integrated graphics. The choice depends on what program is currently running user. For example, if the task does not require a graphical or system load, then the optimum will involve a CPU, thereby increasing the operating time from the battery. For games, video or other demanding tasks will be used the discrete NVIDIA chip. The first laptops with NVIDIA Optimus steel model ASUS.
