Karl Marx
Karl Heinrich Marx (; 5 May 1818 – 14 March 1883) was a German philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist, critic of political economy, and socialist revolutionary. His best-known titles are the 1848 pamphlet ''The Communist Manifesto'' and the four-volume (1867–1883). Marx's political and philosophical thought had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic, and political history. His name has been used as an adjective, a noun, and a school of social theory. Born in Trier, Germany, Marx studied law and philosophy at the universities of Bonn and Berlin. He married German theatre critic and political activist Jenny von Westphalen in 1843. Due to his political publications, Marx became stateless and lived in exile with his wife and children in London for decades, where he continued to develop his thought in collaboration with German philosopher Friedrich Engels and publish his writings, researching in the British Mus ...

Population: It was previously known as ''Baronsk'', ''Yekaterinenshtadt'' (until 1920), ''Marksshtadt'' (until 1941). History It was founded in 1767 as a Volga German community called Baronsk (), named so because the Dutchman Ferdinand Baron Caneau de Beauregard, who was a baron, founded the city. It was soon renamed Yekaterinenshtadt (; Jekaterinenstadt/Katharinenstadt; 1915 - 1920 Yekaterinograd), after Catherine the Great. In 1918, it was granted town status and in 1920 it was renamed Marksshtadt (; Marxstadt), after Karl Marx. In 1941, during the resettlement of Germans, the town was given its present name.

Louis Marx And Company
Louis Marx and Company was an American toy manufacturer in business from 1919 to 1980. They made many types of toys including tin toys, toy soldiers, toy guns, action figures, dolls, toy cars and model trains. Some of their notable toys are Rock'em Sock'em Robots, Big Wheel tricycles, Disney branded dollhouses and playsets based on TV shows like ''Gunsmoke''. Its products were often imprinted with the slogan "One of the many Marx toys, have you all of them?" Logo and offerings The Marx logo was the letters "MAR" in a circle with a large X through it, resembling a railroad crossing sign. As the X sometimes goes unseen, Marx toys were, and are still today, often misidentified as "Mar" toys. Reputedly, because of this name confusion, the Italian diecast toy company Martoys, after two years of production, changed its name to Bburago in 1976. Although the Marx name is now largely forgotten except by toy collectors, several of the products that the company developed remain strong ico ...

Main characters Kirby is the protagonist of the series and a playable character in every game except ''Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe''. The villains he encounters typically threaten his home of on , mostly King Dedede, or Meta Knight. The main games give Kirby the same basic abilities; he can walk, run, jump, float and inhale, as well as spit out or swallow his enemies.

Marx Generator
A Marx generator is an electrical circuit first described by Erwin Otto Marx in 1924. Its purpose is to generate a high-voltage pulse from a low-voltage DC supply. Marx generators are used in high-energy physics experiments, as well as to simulate the effects of lightning on power-line gear and aviation equipment. A bank of 36 Marx generators is used by Sandia National Laboratories to generate X-rays in their Z Machine. Principle of operation The circuit generates a high-voltage pulse by charging a number of capacitors in parallel, then suddenly connecting them in series. See the circuit above. At first, ''n'' capacitors (''C'') are charged in parallel to a voltage ''VC'' by a DC power supply through the resistors (''R''C). The spark gaps used as switches have the voltage ''VC'' across them, but the gaps have a breakdown voltage greater than ''VC'', so they all behave as open circuits while the capacitors charge. The last gap isolates the output of the generator from the load; wi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
