A custom housing could certainly be on the order or more expensive than the optics, but if you were using catalog parts the mechanics should not be the largest cost. For example, a "cheap" 1" notch filter from Thor would run

This is neat, but I wonder what the actual resolution of this device is (and how stable are the measurements)? Is it useful for anything other than just novelty? Not sure that I really see the point of 3d printing the parts (although scrat

And to underscore how a usable rifle may be constructed with readily available parts, I present a personal favorite, the AK-47 built from a receiver recycled from a shovel: http://www.northeastshooters.com/vbulletin/thr

This crap has been a PITA a for flyfishers for a while. Rock snot is an apt name for it because it is treacherous when you're wading. Personally, I prefer felt boots because they have better traction, but they're also an easy vec

I would guess that collecting data in this case could still fall under regulatory preview, and that you would also need to qualify your sensors (Pebble) too. It really would be best to speak to someone familiar with Canadian medical device

For US market, a scale is a Class 1 medical device.

Probably not sufficient. The patient is still using it to guide medical decisions. It would be worthwhile to speak to someone familiar with Canadian medical regulations.

IIRC, Canada largely follows CE. One other problem might be that you're using the Pebble sensors, and so that could fall under regulatory purview too.

But from the landing page: An individual's data can help adjust their medications, change eating patterns and maximize sleep schedules. That sounds like it's being used to guide treatment.

This is a great idea (and name!), but does this fall under FDA regulation? I haven't kept up with the FDA's current policy on medical apps.

Exciting work. CL on the LLVM has been needed. Is this project something that you're doing to support your own research goals in computational chemistry? If so, can you share how this project fits into the bigger picture?

I guess I'm having trouble figuring out where the numbers are coming from. I'm seeing that the FDA recommended maximum dose for aspartame is 50mg/kg/day. Assuming a 70kg Standard Man, that's 3.5g/day of asparta

Overall, this was a nicely done study. The microbiome is fascinating and an exciting area of research. One criticism however would be that the dose of artificial sweetener tested was atypically high. It'll be neat to see further resea

I maintain that the sapphire screen rumors were patently ridiculous to anyone with a basic understanding of materials science. The only people who took these rumors seriously were pundits who started and then perpetuated (and now, continue

Nice catch. Someone in the comments section pointed out that the WaPo actually listed MIS as one of their "most unemployable majors." (Is that irony on some level?) http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblo

Thinking of it from the point of view of an academic, one generally credits the first to discover/build/describe/do something. It's part of placing things into context, which is an important element of academic discours

In this context, PE is the professional engineering exam. You take it in a specialty area, and software engineering was added last year. It's one of the last steps for licensure as a professional engineer. Some states, like Texas, are

If we're talking about someone that passed the software engineering PE, then yes, I think they get plenty of (well-deserved) respect. I'm guessing that's not whom the article is referring to however... I met a lot of "s

For in vivo studies, and even possible human studies, have you given any thought for how you will do PK/BD on these? I'm having trouble imagining how you'll be able to detect these non-optically, unless you had some made of

What's the fluorescence emission mechanism, defect sites in the crystal lattice? What's the QY? What's the absorption spectrum look like, especially in the NIR range? If we were exciting these particles at 785nm, what would t

In addition to the other replies, Haskell lacks a proper ISO or ANSI standard. I think that current safety-critical best practices (what real software engineers actually do) do a good job at correcting the warts inherent to the C family whi
