Bluetooth ™ Technology
Bluetooth is a fast-growing technology for transmitting data via radio, the development of which was initiated by market leaders in data transmission and the computer industry.
The name Bluetooth - Blue Tooth - was given in honor of the Danish king of the 10th century. Harald Blatan. In the X century. Danish King Harald II Blatan (Blatan in Danish “Blue Tooth”, Blue Tooth in English) became famous for his ability to find a common language with the vassal princes. After 1000 years of wireless technology, heterogeneous devices have chosen the name Bluetooth. The initiator of the Bluetooth project was the Swedish company Ericsson, which recommended such a name. This cutting-edge technology allows devices, including laptops, PDAs and cell phones, as well as numerous desktop and other devices, to communicate via radio automatically with nearby devices for exchanging information, commands, etc. One device can communicate with several (up to 7 at the same time) Bluetooth devices, the rest will be in standby mode. It uses ultra-high 2.4 GHz radio frequencies — a range free of licensing. Local radio networks according to the WLAN standard (IEEE802.11) and other devices and devices operate in the same range. Bluetooth provides data transfer rates of up to 721 Kbps in a radius of 10–20 meters, depending on the chip set and power.
Объяснение: Великобритания — конституционная монархия. В отличие от большинства стран мира, в Великобритании нет Конституции, которая бы являлась единым документом, она состоит из различных парламентских актов — статутов, судебных решений и конституционных обычаев. Конституция может быть изменена парламентским актом или общим согласием на изменение конституционного обычая. Глава государства — королева Елизавета II (родилась 21 апреля 1926), взошла на престол в феврале 1952. В последнее столетие тенденция передачи властных полномочий непосредственно правительству, однако королева продолжает принимать участие в осуществлении ряда важных функций государственной власти. За ней сохранено право созывать и распускать парламент, назначать премьер-министра: королева предлагает лидеру политической партии, составляющей большинство в палате общин, сформировать правительство. Королева утверждает законы, принятые парламентом. По закону она является верховным главнокомандующим и, по представлению правительства, назначает высших военачальников. Как глава судебной власти назначает судей, а как глава Англиканской церкви — епископов. В сфере между- народных отношений королева как глава государства имеет право объявлять войну и заключать мир, подписывать международные договоры и соглашения.
