[1] [failed verification] In 1820 Bellani invented a device for measuring evaporation that was called an atmometer. [3] Modified versions of the Bellani plate evaporimeter are still in use. [4] He invented a hygrometer using a fish bladder in 1836. Another innovation was his pyranometer to measure solar radiation which was a closed glass ...
Hygrometer for measuring humidity; Anemometer for measuring wind speed; Pyranometer for measuring solar radiation; Rain gauge for measuring liquid precipitation over a set period of time; Wind sock for measuring general wind speed and wind direction; Wind vane (also called a weather vane or a weathercock) for showing the wind direction
Claude Shannon (1916–2016), founder of information theory and modern cryptography, invented Minivac 601, and co-invented the first wearable computer (with Edward O. Thorp) Ugo Cerletti (1877–1963), together with Lucio Bini (1908–1964), Italy – Electroconvulsive therapy; Leona Chalmers (c. 1937), U.S. – modern menstrual cup
A hygrometer is an instrument which measures the humidity of air or some other gas: that is, how much of it is water vapor. [1] Humidity measurement instruments usually rely on measurements of some other quantities, such as temperature, pressure, mass, and mechanical or electrical changes in a substance as moisture is absorbed.
A thermo-hygrograph. A thermo-hygrograph or hygrothermograph is a chart recorder that measures and records both temperature and humidity (or dew point).Similar devices that record only one parameter are a thermograph for temperature and hygrograph for humidity.

Although "the Weather friar" has been sometimes wrongly cited as the oldest hygrometer-meteorologist in the world, [1] [3] there is a similar hygrometer, with the shape of a Capuchin friar as well, from the late 18th century, in the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Paris, built by Charles Alexandre Clair and belonging to the physics office of Jacques Charles, who would bequeath his collection of ...
There is free software on the market capable of recognizing text generated by generative artificial intelligence (such as GPTZero), as well as images, audio or video coming from it. [99] Potential mitigation strategies for detecting generative AI content include digital watermarking , content authentication , information retrieval , and machine ...
