The evolution of the Greek art seems to go parallel with the Greek philosophical conceptions, which changed from the natural-philosophy of Thales to the metaphysical theory of Pythagoras.

Thales also made advancements in 580 BC by suggesting that water is the basic element, experimenting with magnets and attraction to rubbed amber, and formulating the first cosmologies.

The OSP signed four Memorandums of Understanding with leading companies from Europe and Singapore at the Paris Eurosatory 2008 defense exhibition on Junen 20th, Rheinmetall Group and Diehl Defence Holding of Germany, Singapore Technologies Engineering ( ST Engg ), and Thales of France.

The Performance Improvement Program variant, K55A1, is a complete domestic overhaul of the K55 which is further augmented by Samsung Thales with modern digital ballistic computers, multifunctional data display and controllers, GPS navigation and target acquisition system, wireless datalink equipment, and upgraded fire control storage battery and power supply unit, to closely match the US military's modernization of the Paladin into next-generation standard.

Other major satellite manufacturers include Space Systems / Loral, Orbital Sciences Corporation with the STAR Bus series, Indian Space Research Organization, Lockheed Martin ( owns the former RCA Astro Electronics / GE Astro Space business ), Northrop Grumman, Alcatel Space, now Thales Alenia Space, with the Spacebus series, and Astrium.

Rennes is the 2nd concentration of ITC firms in France after Paris ( with well-known companies like Atos, SFR, Orange France Telecom, Technicolor R & D, Canon, Mitsubishi, Alcatel-Lucent, Texas Instruments, NXP, Thales or Logica ), and the 3rd innovation potential in agrofood French industry.

The former assets of Aerospatiale are now part of EADS, except the Satellites activities which merged with Alcatel and became Alcatel Space, in 1999, now Thales Alenia Space.

EADS has since considered a merger with Thales to create a " fully rounded " company.

Allegedly, it passed in turn from one of the seven sages to another, beginning with Thales, until one of them ( either Thales or Solon, depending on the story ) finally dedicated it to Apollo who was held to be wisest of all.

In the European Union, aerospace companies such as EADS, BAE Systems, Thales, Dassault, Saab AB and Finmeccanica account for a large share of the global aerospace industry and research effort, with the European Space Agency as one of the largest consumers of aerospace technology and products.

This attracted industry with a focus on technology: Stork B. V., Hazemeyer, Heemaf ( now part of Eaton and Essent ), KHZ ( now AkzoNobel ), and Hollandse Signaal Apparaten, now taken over by the Thales Group.

The trains are also able to be operated exclusively by computers, using Standard Elektrik Lorenz's " SelTrac IS " system ( now owned and delivered by Thales Canada Transportation Solutions ), doing away with the need for a human operator.

The driver's position is equipped with a Thales Optronics image-intensifying Passive Driving Periscope ( PDP ) for night driving.

One of the first references to lodestone's magnetic properties is by 6th century BCE Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus, who is credited by the ancient Greeks with discovering lodestone's attraction to iron and other lodestones.

* Book 3 deals with circles and their properties: inscribed angles, tangents, the power of a point, Thales ' theorem.

In addition, Globalstar announced on April 3, 2007 that it has signed a € 9 million agreement with Thales Alenia Space to upgrade the Globalstar satellite constellation, including necessary hardware and software upgrades to Globalstar ’ s satellite control network facilities.

Combining Thales ' theorem with its converse we get that:

So construct the midpoint H between O and P, and draw a circle centered at H through O and P. By Thales ' theorem, the sought point T is the intersection of this circle with the given circle k, because that is the point on k that completes a right triangle OTP.

The word is a compound from two Greek terms, ἢλεκτρον, ēlektron, " amber " ( as electrostatic phenomena were first described as properties of amber by the philosopher Thales ), and μαγνήτης, magnētēs, " magnet " ( the magnetic stones found in antiquity in the vicinity of the Greek city of Magnesia, in Lydia, Asia Minor ).

Thales of Miletos made a series of observations on static electricity around 600 BC, from which he believed that friction rendered amber magnetic, in contrast to minerals such as magnetite, which needed no rubbing.

As reported by the ancient Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus around 600 BC, charge ( or electricity ) could be accumulated by rubbing fur on various substances, such as amber.

This property, first recorded by Thales of Miletus, suggested the word " electricity " ( from William Gilbert's initial coinage, " electra "), from the Greek word for amber, ēlektron.

On May 28, 585 BC, during the Battle of Halys fought against Cyaxares, king of Media, a solar eclipse took place ( see also Thales ); hostilities were suspended, peace concluded, and the Halys fixed as the boundary between the two kingdoms.

While his predecessors Thales and Anaximander proposed that the arche, the underlying material of the world, were water and the ambiguous substance apeiron, respectively, Anaximenes asserted that air was this primary substance of which all other things are made.

" Thales of Miletus, who lived from 625 – 547 ( BCE ) was the only documented person who believed that earthquakes were caused by tension between the earth and water.

Those 4 IOV Galileo satellites were constructed by Astrium GmbH and Thales Alenia Space.

Several centuries later Ionia was the place where western philosophy began and was the homeland of Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes. They were natural-philosophers of the Ionian school of philosophy and tried to explain the phenomena according to no-supernatural laws. They also searched a simple material-form behind the appearances of things ( origin ) and this conception had a great influence on the early archaic art in Greece.

In addition to being credited for pithy sayings, the wise men were also apparently famed for practical inventions ; in Plato's Republic ( 600a ), it is said that it " befits a wise man " to have " many inventions and useful devices in the crafts or sciences " attributed to him, citing Thales and Anacharsis the Scythian as examples.

The scientific speculations of Ionian thinkers such as Thales in the sixth century were becoming commonplace knowledge in Aristophanes ' time and this had led, for instance, to a growing belief that civilized society was not a gift from the gods but rather had developed gradually from primitive man's animal-like existence.

The leading philosophers of the period preceding Greece's golden age were Thales, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Protagoras, and Democritus.

Thales, Anaximander and Democritus were amongst those contributing significantly to the establishment of this tradition.

The main industrial contractors were Matra Marconi Space ( now EADS Astrium ) and Alenia Spazio ( now Thales Alenia Space ).

Thales successfully negotiated low prices because the harvest was in the future and no one knew whether the harvest would be plentiful or poor and because the olive press owners were willing to hedge against the possibility of a poor yield.

Early models of the T-90 were equipped with the TO1-KO1 BURAN sight but later models ( T-90S ) were upgraded to use the ESSA thermal imaging sight, which allows for accurate firing to a range of 5000 – 8000 m using the CATHERINE-FC thermal camera produced by Thales Optronique.

Fujitsu Services, CSC, EDS, IBM, Steria and Thales Group were still negotiating framework agreements with the government.

The three Shuttle MPLM cargo containers Leonardo, Raffaello and Donatello, were built for NASA in Turin, Italy by Alcatel Alenia Space, now Thales Alenia Space.

Among the material monists were the three Milesian philosophers: Thales, who believed that everything was composed of water ; Anaximander, who believed it was apeiron ; and Anaximenes, who believed it was air.

Indeed Greeks like Thales were already accomplished geometricians before their travel to Egypt and very likely Herodotus assumed that because the Egyptian γεωμετρία was older, the Greeks must have got it from there.

Although all the explanations from Thales to Democritus involve matter, what is more important is the fact that these rival explanations suggest an ongoing process of debate in which alternate theories were put forth and criticized.

According to a historical Note, when Thales visited Egypt, he observed that whenever the Egyptians drew two intersecting lines, they would measure the vertical angles to make sure that they were equal.

The development restarted in August 2008 with the runway being resurfaced, and a new Thales Cat IIIa ILS on Runway 26 with associated aerodrome ground lighting and IRVR were installed during December 2008.

The standardisation went on for the next two years and it was felt to be slow for some industry partners-1998 saw the formation of the UNISIG ( Union of Signalling Industry ) including Alstom, Ansaldo, Bombardier, Invensys, Siemens and Thales which were to take over the finalization of the standard.

* Thales pseudo-ALLISS rotatable antenna designs were procured from other antenna manufacturers that Thales acquired by corporate transactions.
