…Soon after, attempts were made to use the phenomenon of electrolysis for communication. In 1809, Samuel Thomas von Sömmering (1755-1830) of Semmering, Germany, came up with the idea of sending messages by generating electrolytic bubbles in glass tubes arranged in rows equal to the number of letters in the alphabet, and built a device to do so. However, before the application of electrolysis could be put to practical use, HC Oersted of Denmark discovered the magnetic effect of electric current, and a method of sending messages by the deflection of a magnetic needle placed near a conductor through which current passed was developed. … From [Torso]...The corsets that tightened the torsos of today's French doll models created this figure, but around this time the negative effects of corsets were also pointed out. Already in Marie Antoinette's time, the German physician Sömmering von Sömmering warned that corsets constricted the lower rib cage and put pressure on the internal organs (1785). After the French Revolution, corsets fell out of fashion and women's torsos were spared from pressure, but they became fashionable again when the monarchy was restored, and corsets with whalebone or metal frames became popular. *Some of the terminology that mentions "Sömmering, STvon" is listed below.

…その後電気分解の現象はただちに,通信に利用することが試みられた。09年にドイツのゼンメリングSamuel Thomas von Sömmering(1755‐1830)は,アルファベットの数だけ並べたガラス管内に,電気分解による気泡を発生させることによって通信文を送ることを考え,その装置を作った。しかし,電気分解を応用する方法が実用化されるより前に,デンマークのH.C.エルステッドによって電流の磁気作用が発見され,電流を通した導線のそばにおかれた磁針の振れによって通信を送る方法が発展した。… 【胴】より…今日のフランス人形のモデルのような細い胴に締め上げるコルセットがその体型をつくったが,このころコルセットの弊害も指摘されている。マリー・アントアネットの時代にすでに,ドイツの医学者ゼンメリングS.T.von Sömmeringは胸郭下部をすぼめて内臓諸器官を圧迫することを警告した(1785)。フランス革命後はコルセットもすたれ,女性の胴は圧迫から免れたが,王制に復帰すると再び流行して,鯨のひげや金属枠の入ったコルセットが大衆化していった。… ※「Sömmering,S.T.von」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
