Just remember to retract the probes delivering samples to external analyzers -before- pigging the line, or you may do 10's of thousands of dollars in damage.

single mode splice is not so bad. multi mode takes a bit more work to get complex index of refraction in the fiber correct. http://www.thefoa.org/tech/ref/termination/fusion.html

I liked it so much I not only read it last year, I read it again. I lost one of my coworkers when he left to go work for LA power. I like to think he gets to work on cool stuff like this from time to time.

It all depends how you program the chip. If you didn't want to link to a website from the intelliPaper device, I'm sure you could load it with static content. I think it is a fair assessment that it is the same tracking as what c

I have been following intelliPaper [1] for a few years now ever ever since a close friend quit his job to go hack on this full time with a small team bringing the technology to market with manufacturing in the USA. It really is a cool stor

$30 for a GPS that will log 15 hours of telemetry[1] I just cant get over how much cool math, science, engineering and technology can get crammed into a single concept. in some ways GPS is as revolutionary as the CPU. [1] http://

I think a rugged small portable solar panel may be better in most applications for power.

good point, should have said TE or thermoelectric, i just learned of the device as a peltier junction even though it has 3 different names depending on the mode. at work we call it a TEC based on how we use it, but the best most generic

So touching to read the thoughts of a parent as they go through the last days of life with their very loved daughter and family. This is what family is and the joy of life through the process of losing it.

This is a great presentation on how to effectively communicate data and it is not just putting raw data on a slide. it takes time and major creativity to communicate. Read the presentation for another reason, a good example of a catchy, r

It is a little dated, but this doc shows 200mA required for the card on highspeed writes. I was curious how much power needed to run that little uC. http://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/M-Systems%20Inc%2...
