In addition to localized basis sets, plane-wave basis sets can also be used in quantum-chemical simulations. Typically, a finite number of plane-wave functions are used, below a specific cutoff energy which is chosen for a certain calculation.
Velcro was invented by George de Mestral a Swiss electrical engineer in 1941. This idea of inventing Velcro came to him when one day he returned after a walk from the hills and found cockleburs stuck to his clothes and his dogâs fur.George noticed its natural hook and loop quality and started making a fabric fastener on the same quality.his idea of inventing Velcro came to him when one day he returned after a walk from the hills and found cockleburs stuck to his clothes and his dogâs fur.

The first known test of a purpose-made parachute was carried out in 1617 by Croatian inventor Faust Vraneiae, who had been working on his canopy - adapted from a Leonardo da Vinci sketch - as early as 1595. Vraneiae tested his invention, known as homo volans (flying man), by jumping off towers in Venice.
