chris_99how much does CE testing cost for something like that out of interest10:15
nickjohnsonchris_99: About $500-$1000 in China10:26
nickjohnsonOr about 3 times that in the UK or US10:26
nickjohnsonAssuming you get everything right first time.10:26
chris_99oh i didn't know you can get CE certified from china10:26
kanzurefcc does outsourced CE testing?10:26

nickjohnsonCE testing doesn't require a certified lab, it's 'self certified'10:27
nickjohnsonWhich means you can do it yourself, if you have 50 grand worth of test equipment10:27
nickjohnsonOr you can pay someone else to :P10:27
chris_99haha10:27
kanzureis it bonded?10:27

nickjohnsonchris_99: Yup, if you modulate it right10:45
nickjohnsonFor that reason, the MCU runs off the same clock as the DDS, so CPU cycles translate directly to DDS cycles10:45

delinquentmeit was just suggested that I send off a request/response for instancing the celery job ... then a series of other request/responses  to poll for completion of the job12:03
delinquentmethe polling portion of that seems dumb.12:04
delinquentmeOH wait. Should I have celery post back to the flask app????12:05
kanzureyou could definitely have the celery task do things at the end of its function12:05
kanzurepolling for the completion of the job may be unnecessary. the job itself can update the state of an object. your api would then return the state of the object from the database.12:06

kanzure"Since 1975 some significant changes have been made in the operation of Organic Syntheses. Junior checkers (students associated with members of the Board of Editors) now receive an honorarium for their efforts. This change recognizes the more complex and sophisticated procedures that now appear in these volumes. Also, because of the greatly increased cost of chemicals involved in the checking process, checking editors are now reimbursed ...12:39

fennis it just me or is this a non sequitur: "Medical device manufacturers have historically built their products by focusing on function way before form. If usability and design are even considered, it’s an afterthought at best."20:38

kanzurefenn: daeken is interested in dumping the synthesizer's rom21:44
Daekenso, i was reading about photolithography, and thinking: why not use an LCD for the mask?  sure enough, people are already doing it.21:45
fenngreat, let's hope it's still there21:45
Daekenput a UV light behind an LCD, display your mask, expose your block of <insert material here> covered in photoresist, let it bake for a moment, wash in acid21:45
fennLCD have much higher resolution than DMD21:45
Daekenand then ... microfluidic channels?21:45
fenni wonder how the color filter interacts tho21:46
fennthe bayer filter21:46

Daekenfenn: well, i know that LCDs will ordinarily block UV selectively, just like visible light -- welding helmets use them now21:46
Daeken(block just the brightest spots)21:46
kanzurehttp://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/DNA/21:46
Daekenso in theory, it *should* work.21:46
fennalso UV degrades the liquid crystal(?) and it yellows over time21:46
Daekenyeah, it wouldn't be long term, but if you can use a cheapo LCD to make the microfluidic array, i'm okay with throwing the screen away every couple times.21:47
fennwelding helmets use glass which blocks UV; the liquid crystal just makes it darker so you can see after you stop welding21:47
Daekenfenn: ahh, really?  hmm.21:47
fenni wouldn't be surprised if it also blocked UV, but it has to remain 1% transparent so you can see while welding though21:48
Daekeni wonder if UV will permeate the 'off' pixels on an LCD, then.21:49
Daekeneasy enough to test21:49
fennearlier we were discussing this DIY LCD video projector http://forum.allinbox.com/aspectgeek/Projetsencours/18/photon3k-projector-2880x1800-sujet_9774_1.htm21:49
Daekenfenn: for the photolithography, or otherwise?21:49
fenneh, stuff21:49
fennthe optics are the same for the most part21:50
fennit might be easier to just get an old lcd projector and replace the panel with something newer21:51
Daekenwhat kind of resolution is required?21:51
fenndepends what you want to do!21:51
-!- Quashie_ is now known as Quashie21:51
fennpixels are pixels21:52
fennthey could be mm or nm21:52
fenn.wa wavelength of UV-B21:52
yoleauxfenn: Sorry, no result!21:52
fenn.wik UVB wavelength21:52
yoleaux"Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength from 400 nm to 10 nm, shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays." — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet21:52
fennok well whatever, you get the idea21:53
fenn10 nm light will probably destroy your LCD faster21:53
fennalso transparent materials tend to absorb and scatter more light at lower wavelengths21:53
fennso mirror optics is better for UV21:54
fenni guess this is why people were interested in DMD for photolithography21:54
-!- AmbulatoryCortex [~Ambulator@173-31-9-188.client.mchsi.com] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]21:55
fennfor LCD to work the following must remain transparent at your desired wavelength: polarizer, liquid crystal, lenses, pixel electrode, glass21:56
fennglass plate to keep the liquid crystal in plane21:56
fennDMD doesn't have any of that if you use a mirror objective21:57
fennheh DCC SEND from somefag [0.0.0.0 port 0]: STARTKEYLOGGER [0B bytes] requested in channel #bitcoin-wizards22:03
Daekenyeah, seems like DMD is easier in a way.  just more intensive to put it all together22:06
Daekenwonder if you could just pick up a cheapo projector off amazon and hack it together.22:07
fennif you were dead set on using hard UV you could etch a mirror with a fixed mask pattern by masking it with a lower wavelength device22:09
fennthen you have a high resolution mask without all the crazy wavelength dependent requirements for the light modulation system22:10
fennyou could get super duper high resolution masks that way by stepping the lower wavelength device22:11
fenner, i'm saying it wrong.. "lower wavelength" should be "higher wavelength"22:11
fennLCD works better with longer wavelengths is all22:12
Daekeni wonder how high a resolution you really need, for microfluidics of this kind.  from the paper i read earlier, each reaction chamber was 90um wide and 15um deep.  the microchannel width wasn't specified, but 150um deep; let's say they're 20um wide, to go to the lower end.  if you assume 1080p projected onto a 2cm x 1.125cm area, that gives 1um per pixel22:17
Daekenthat means the channels are 20 pixels wide.22:17
fenn1080p DMD projectors are a LOT more expensive than 1024x768 DMD projectors or 1080p LCD panels22:17
Daekeni'm seeing one on newegg for $63922:18
Daekenthat seems pretty decent to me22:18
fennalso i'm talking about resolution in terms of number of pixels, not width of a single pixel22:18
fennhuh really? maybe i'm thinking 4K projectors22:19
Daeken4k projectors are insaaanely expensive.  well out of reach right now (>$15k)22:19
Daekenbut i'd be willing to grab a cheapo 1080p projector to rip apart22:19
fenn1024x768 is like $80 on ebay22:20
fennDMD22:20
fennor DLP as they say22:20
fennduuude it's like, totally digital dude22:20
Daekenhaha22:21
fenncan i just expose 35mm camera film to make "microfilm"?22:22
fennza3k made a good point that QR codes are more likely to be readable in the future22:29
fennrather than some weird thing like optar or paperback22:29
fennjeez these microfilm "microfiche" readers are $50022:32
fennit's only 24x magnification22:32
fennshould have been called "minifilm" hrmph22:34
fenn24x doesn't seem like enough of a space reduction to bother22:46

Daekenthe more i look at this stuff, the more i think the DMD approach (using a hacked up OTS projector) is ... pretty straightforward.  i might have to grab one soon and try this out.23:29
Daekenshould be able to do the HF etching in a friend's lab.  might be able to get access to an SEM to take a look at how true it is, once it gets to that point.23:31
