genehackerwell I was just thinking about automatically designing laser cutters the other day00:02

genehackeryou will find what you need00:07
ybithmm can't ssh into serverftp to upload00:07
ybitgenehacker: what i need for?...00:08
genehackerit show you how to make a simple spin coater using a blender00:08
genehackerand also a machine for exposing photoresist00:09
ybit   We have developed a novel programmable, low cost, spin coater to be used for applications where flat substrates are coated with an uniform00:09
ybitthin layer of a desirable material. The equipment is built with dc brushless motor present in most of the hard disk drivers (HDDs). The system00:09
ybitoffers manual control, wide speed range (from 0 to 10,000 rpm), spin speed stability and compact size. The paper also describes the use of such00:09
ybitequipment for the fabrication of thin poly(o-methoxyaniline) (POMA) films, which are of particular interest for design organic electronic devices,00:09
ybitsuch as diodes, transistor, sensors and displays.00:09

ybitgenehacker: are you talking about your post on diybio?00:10
genehackerit is related00:10
ybithough they had trouble achieving uniform illumination which00:12
ybitmeans they had to adjust the brightness with an image overlay and00:12
ybitended up only being able to use only 95% of the image after the00:12
ybitoverlay was applied. 00:12
ybitthat 95 needs to be 100..00:12
ybitfor dna synthesis, you are correct, it's not a problem00:13

kanzureybit: can you give me an index of the interesting papers that you have found in the last few days please?09:13
kanzureor interesting books / other downloadable item thingies09:13
kanzureelsevier is down for maintenance. at 9 in the morning on a Saturday? wtf. this is prime time!09:27
ybiti get a connection refused when i attempt to upload papers to the server10:38
ybitkanzure^10:38
ybits/upload papers to the server/tunnel into the server with ssh10:42
ybityou are using port 22, right?10:42
ybitthere is one thing that i will be looking for when i get back from work in about 7 hours: a low-cost design of an rie chamber10:43
kanzurewhat is a rie chamber?10:46

kanzureso, in a python unittest module thingy, is it one method tested per method within the test class? or what's the deal on this?15:42
kanzureer, standard style deal I mean15:42

kanzurefenn: can you look at line 124 of http://192.168.1.108/combinations.py 16:05
kanzureif you run it, you will see that the len(g.edges()) changes in the print statements16:05
kanzureeven though I am clearly not operating on g ever16:05
kanzure(am using copy.copy)16:05
kanzureis copy.copy not a "deep" copy?16:08
kanzureaha. "Shallow copy operation on arbitrary python objects"16:08
kanzurecopy.deepcopy() is what I want16:08

kanzureshould I comment out any "iface eth0 inet dhcp" lines?16:30

kanzureit's kind of stupid that the next version of haskell is called haskell'16:49
kanzureas if that's not going to be a nightmare to google16:49
kanzureoops. combinations.py takes forever, and on top of that, it's finding all cutsets, not just all cutsets that divide the graph into only two subsets.17:03

katsmeow-afkyou think i can apply su8 onto steel, cure it, and call it "paint" ?20:10
katsmeow-afki am thinking it wold have very low porosity20:11
ybitthe best schematics i can find for an rei chamber|reactor are typically in patents, e.g.: http://www.google.com/patents/download/Magnetic_field_enhanced_plasma_etch_reac.pdf?id=054xAAAAEBAJ&output=pdf&sig=ACfU3U0IXoL76jufrLqPdrQhY5cQ91zAcw20:17

kanzureincompetent clods20:31
ybitany of you want to grab the paper listed above?20:32
kanzureeventually :)20:33
ybitheh20:33
ybiti uploaded some papers to my account the server, some need to be renamed before being moved to the papers dir20:33
katsmeow-afkwhat's the thickest i can get a uv cured crosslinked photoresist that isn't in any way cured involving outgassing?, and what chemical would that be?20:34
kanzureoutgassing?20:34
ybitwill do it later when i am online using konqueror20:34
ybit(much easier that way)20:35
katsmeow-afkoutgassing = solvents evaporating or being squeezed out20:35
ybiti don't know katsmeow-afk20:35
kanzureI always thought that uv photocured crosslinked polymers do not require outgassing20:37
kanzurebut maybe I'm wrong?20:37
katsmeow-afki agree, i think so too, but i stated it to be sure i got what i wanted20:39
katsmeow-afki thought 2-part epoxied don't cure by outgassing , but seems they are almost as porus as latex, which ougassed ferociously20:39

kanzureunit test for find-all-cycles completed.21:58
kanzureum I'm still not sure how to do this22:22
kanzureso, at all nodes on a cycle have their through variables sum up to the same value? or, what?22:24
xp_prgwhat are you applying this to kanzure?22:24
kanzure"    The directed sum of the electrical potential differences around any closed circuit must be zero. "22:26

kanzureso around any cycle, across variables sum to zero22:27
kanzureat a circuit, the through variables equal zero22:27
kanzureor something..22:27

kanzure"he voltage law says that the sum of voltages around every closed loop in the circuit  must equal zero. A closed loop has the obvious definition: Starting at a node, trace  a path through the circuit that returns you to the origin node. KVL expresses the fact  that electric fields are conservative: The total work performed in moving a test charge  around a closed path is zero.23:44
