kanzure | hi Cyndre_ | 00:10 |
Cyndre_ | hi | 00:10 |
kanzure | write out the plan and we'll take a look at it | 00:10 |
kanzure | also, detail which parts you need help on or which parts you know | 00:10 |
* kanzure sleeps | 00:11 | |
Cyndre_ | lmao | 00:11 |
kanzure | wha? i'm serious | 00:11 |
Cyndre_ | its actually just an idea right now - say a 20x20 pin pad that gets implanted into the forearm - you then send electrical signals the same strength as neurons send into the arm in patterns matching certain charaters on the screen. Hoping that over time I will be able to repeat in reverse and not have to worry about my carpal tunnel surgery tomorrow | 00:12 |
Cyndre_ | like smiling works in reverse this will eventually allow you to repeat the electrical patterns back into the system to type through training | 00:13 |
kanzure | Cyndre_: don't worry i will probably join you for carpal surgery eventually http://www.seanwrona.com/typeracer/profile.php?username=kanzure | 00:14 |
Cyndre_ | very nice, I am only about 100 - 110 | 00:14 |
Cyndre_ | but massive tight scars on my right hand probably limit that | 00:15 |
kanzure | naaah | 00:15 |
Cyndre_ | lmao, the last knuckle on my middle finger is currently split wide open 1/8 of an inch or so from bending it | 00:16 |
kanzure | i think your typing technique might be flawed | 00:16 |
Cyndre_ | using a qwerty keyboard? | 00:17 |
kanzure | yes | 00:17 |
kanzure | ok but seriously i need sleep | 00:17 |
Cyndre_ | night man | 00:17 |
kanzure | you can bug Steel or something, dunno who else is up | 00:17 |
Cyndre_ | nee3d sleep to surgery in 9 hours | 00:17 |
Cyndre_ | and trying to finish a few things on my site before my hands gimped | 00:17 |
kanzure | just remember... you can always use a direct neural interface at a whopping 10 bits per minute | 00:18 |

delinquentme | not loading for meeee | 09:33 |
cluckj | paywalled :( | 09:41 |
kanzure | cluckj: welcome back | 09:42 |
cluckj | howdy | 09:43 |
archels | kanzure: Do you need any cheese or tulips? | 09:45 |
kanzure | what? no i don't think so | 09:46 |
delinquentme | cluckj, http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/06/magazine/06murdock-t.html?_r=1 | 09:46 |
delinquentme | dah u go | 09:46 |
delinquentme | DAR***** | 09:46 |
cluckj | thanks | 09:47 |
delinquentme | jar! | 09:50 |
delinquentme | SO @ what level of automation can lab equipment start to benefit ? | 09:50 |
delinquentme | im going b ack and forth on which would be more beneficial a programmable orbital shaker or syring pump | 09:51 |
kanzure | syringe pump please | 09:51 |
delinquentme | syringe pumps can be used in microfluidics .. so that could be really helpful | 09:51 |
delinquentme | kanzure, im putting off the LH for a bit ... i dont feel *CURRENTLY* equipped to make it what it should be | 09:51 |
delinquentme | so start w something smaller and more monitizeable | 09:52 |
cluckj | kanzure what have you been up to lately? | 09:55 |
kanzure | cluckj: dna synthesizer, pokemon source code, other things i'm forgetting, scraping | 09:58 |
cluckj | diy dna synthesizer? | 09:58 |
kanzure | yes | 10:02 |
cluckj | sweet :) | 10:02 |
Vicarious | 'morning | 10:05 |
kanzure | Vicarious: i reject your sense of time and substitute my own | 10:05 |
kanzure | it is definitely not morning, good sir :) | 10:05 |
Vicarious | but the internet doesn't have timezones | 10:06 |
Vicarious | hence it's always morning on the internet :P | 10:06 |
kanzure | no no | 10:06 |
archels | kanzure: because you were asking whether I was in NL. | 10:06 |
kanzure | the internet is timeless | 10:06 |
kanzure | archels: i don't see what that has to do with cheese | 10:07 |
kanzure | does NL have lots of tulips? | 10:07 |
archels | yes, and cheese! | 10:07 |
Vicarious | kanzure: not true, you don't remember internet time ? | 10:07 |
kanzure | Vicarious: unix epoch? | 10:08 |
archels | @123 | 10:08 |
kanzure | o.o | 10:08 |
Vicarious | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time | 10:08 |
Vicarious | :P | 10:08 |
cluckj | lol | 10:08 |
archels | k, pizzatime | 10:08 |
kanzure | pizzatime, morning time.. i'm really confused | 10:09 |
cluckj | pizza for breakfast? | 10:09 |
cluckj | the truth is that it's always pizzatime | 10:09 |
cluckj | so it would not be a good measure of time.... | 10:10 |
Vicarious | brb | 10:10 |
delinquentme | that makes me want pancakes | 10:11 |
kanzure | delinquentme: el cheapo ways to make very repeatable syringe pumps would be nice | 10:19 |
kanzure | especially programmable syringe pumps that i can leave running for 20-50 hours at a time | 10:19 |
kanzure | also, especially if i can cram a lot of them together in a small space | 10:19 |
kanzure | also! if they don't cost a fuckton. i think i mentioned that. | 10:19 |
ThomasEgi | kanzure, stepper motor + thread ? | 10:23 |
kanzure | probably | 10:23 |
ThomasEgi | easy to controll, and very precise if you need it to be | 10:23 |
kanzure | ThomasEgi: http://staff.bath.ac.uk/ensab/replicator/Pix/syringe-pump-h.jpg | 10:23 |
kanzure | that's the one that adrian bowyer (of reprap fame) made | 10:23 |
kanzure | here's a commercial one: | 10:25 |
kanzure | http://www.syringepump.com/Micro.php | 10:25 |
kanzure | $1500 hah | 10:25 |
kanzure | "Infusion rates from 8 pl/hr (.5 µl cc syringe) to 2545 µl/min (140 cc syringe)" | 10:25 |
ThomasEgi | hehe. lol.i could recommend the commeercial-like setup. | 10:25 |
kanzure | i don't understand why it costs so much | 10:25 |
kanzure | does the stepper cost a lot? | 10:26 |
ThomasEgi | with the clamp for the syringe, the linear bearing. and a fine threaded thread. and stepper motors. | 10:26 |
ThomasEgi | no | 10:26 |
ThomasEgi | they are bargain | 10:26 |
kanzure | ok.. maybe they charge a lot for the red paint | 10:26 |
ThomasEgi | they charge for the medical-grade quality | 10:26 |
ThomasEgi | that means , medical certification for each end every part in it. | 10:26 |
cluckj | cause it's so smoooooth | 10:26 |
kanzure | "Advance Per Step: 4.252232 Nanometers" | 10:26 |
ThomasEgi | your syringe wont be able to put that into actual volumentric change | 10:27 |
ThomasEgi | due to friction and the mechanical properties of the syringe itself | 10:27 |
kanzure | in an ideal world i could have any number of syringe pumps in a system | 10:28 |
kanzure | it looks like these take up a lot of space | 10:28 |
kanzure | and $1500/syringe-pump is obnoxiously high | 10:28 |
kanzure | diy syringe pump http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNdARr_t1dQ | 10:29 |
ThomasEgi | if you get an M5x0.25 thread. and a stepper with 200 steps per revolution, you can get 1.25μm stepping. that is probably already finer than your syringe mechanics can forward | 10:29 |
kanzure | his setup looks a little large but w/e http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIxWe7G7giY | 10:30 |
chris_99 | could you use an inkjet printer to dispense liquid like that | 10:31 |
ThomasEgi | note: for stepper motors there are ready-2-use driver ic's, that allow even microstepping. | 10:31 |
-!- indigenous [~quassel@85.210.228.109] has joined ##hplusroadmap | 10:32 | |
ThomasEgi | so.. with microstepping, you may get even better resolution, altho it would be futile unless the rest of the mechanics is superb. basic setup as seen in the vid | 10:32 |
ThomasEgi | you could get nanometer stepping with piezo-linear motors. not cheap and diy tho. | 10:33 |
kanzure | ah didn't know he had a site http://aonomus.wordpress.com/tag/microfluidics/ | 10:33 |
kanzure | ThomasEgi: i think ultimately the form factor should be pcb board + syringe pump + maybe some chasis over it + the syringe | 10:34 |
kanzure | but maybe i'm misunderstanding the necessary shape | 10:34 |
ThomasEgi | hm.. that's not impossible. but conciderably trickier to build | 10:34 |
kanzure | what's the least tricky way | 10:35 |
ThomasEgi | that would be more like the first link you send, with the small motor unit attached to the syringe. but i would recommend a stepper motor instead of a DC one | 10:35 |

kanzure | yeah i haven't used many microsteppers, i'm unaware | 10:35 |
kanzure | s/many/any | 10:35 |
ThomasEgi | what's easy usualy depends on your tools and skills. something like the big plexi-glass models are easiest for most people around | 10:36 |
ThomasEgi | you dont need microsteppres. just a regular stepper motor. the stepping/microstepping is done by the electronics | 10:36 |
kanzure | but don't i need optical encoding to track microsteps? | 10:36 |
ThomasEgi | no | 10:37 |
ThomasEgi | steppers have fixed step-sizes | 10:37 |
ThomasEgi | so if you make 200 steps on a 200steps per round motor. you'll get exactly one revelation. | 10:37 |
ThomasEgi | you can go forth and back as often as you want. as long as you stay within the parameters, the motor wont lose any steps | 10:37 |
chris_99 | what are you making kanzure? | 10:48 |
kanzure | chris_99: microfluidic dna synthesizer | 10:50 |
chris_99 | ooh neat | 10:50 |
chris_99 | how do you create the actual microfluidic paths as it were? | 10:51 |
kanzure | many ways | 10:51 |
kanzure | my favorite is a laser cutter | 10:51 |
kanzure | but most people do photomasks with lithography | 10:52 |
kanzure | or digital photolithography with a micromirror array | 10:52 |
chris_99 | aha, does lithography give the finest paths? | 10:52 |
kanzure | or laser printer masks | 10:52 |
kanzure | uh i don't know, it probably depends on their optical setup | 10:52 |
kanzure | http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/microfluidics/ | 10:52 |
chris_99 | so do you etch one piece of plastic, then place another on top i guess | 10:53 |
chris_99 | and glue together somehow | 10:53 |

kanzure | chris_99: yep that's one way.. | 10:54 |
kanzure | chris_99: here's a bootcamp doc | 10:54 |
kanzure | http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/microfluidics/training-bootcamp.pdf | 10:54 |
kanzure | there's a few sections about fabrication | 10:54 |
kanzure | but it's not exhaustive | 10:54 |
chris_99 | cool, thanks | 10:55 |
chris_99 | what kind of fluidic stuff have you made before? | 10:58 |
kanzure | nothing worth reporting | 10:58 |

kanzure | great | 11:03 |
lucaserickson | Would you happen to know if there is a correlation between the frequency of meditation and mindfulness? I've noticed some effects, but I'd like to benefit more if possible. | 11:05 |
ThomasEgi | kanzure, for laser printer masks i can barely get 200μm structures clean enough (on pcb's) | 11:05 |
kanzure | ThomasEgi: yeh it's not the best for sure | 11:06 |
kanzure | lucaserickson: how the heck are you measuring "mindfulness" | 11:06 |
ThomasEgi | ah about micro-pumps. how about scanner mechanics?, they sometimes have very fine stepping resolutions | 11:07 |
cluckj | e-meter? | 11:07 |
kanzure | ThomasEgi: most of the scanners i've owned have been belt driven | 11:08 |
kanzure | is that what you're talking about? | 11:08 |
ThomasEgi | belt driven or not, the stepping itself is very fine. | 11:08 |
ThomasEgi | if you pre-apply some force, so the mechanics wont have backlash | 11:09 |
ThomasEgi | it might be a pretty easy way. | 11:09 |
lucaserickson | Kanzure: I've noticed more awareness of my own thoughts, measuring mindfulness objectively probably isn't possible. I'm wondering if there is an upper-limit of meditation time vs "possible" benefit each day. | 11:10 |
ThomasEgi | they usualy have good stepers, well-fit gears. if you preload them, it may work | 11:10 |

delinquentme | whats brilliant is i can tell you right now that that does *NOT* pump those individually | 11:16 |
delinquentme | make a single modular pump? destroy that market | 11:16 |
delinquentme | Built-in program lets you enter up to eight commands to perform a variety of functions | 11:17 |

kanzure | delinquentme: HOLY SHIT EIGHT??? | 11:19 |
kanzure | but seriously.. that's pathetic | 11:19 |
kanzure | and the fact that they would even use that marketing.. is sad | 11:19 |
kanzure | who would buy something that advertises itself as handling N functions? | 11:19 |
ThomasEgi | yeah. even a 1970 daten microprocessor had a bigger command stack | 11:19 |
delinquentme | kanzure, its the state of the market hahah | 11:19 |
delinquentme | yeah man. | 11:20 |
delinquentme | and whats even funnier is sales people have had this convo. | 11:20 |
delinquentme | scientist: " It can handle EIGHT? " salesman: " E_I_G_H_T" | 11:20 |
ThomasEgi | hm.. that'd be agreat opportunity to laught at some pathetic arguments | 11:20 |
kanzure | when you say it has N functions the first thing that i think is that you're a moron | 11:20 |
delinquentme | and we're talking bleeding edge of the market here | 11:21 |
kanzure | and/or trying to peddle proprietary software on me | 11:21 |
delinquentme | this is on a $4000 dollar syring pump | 11:21 |

ThomasEgi | delinquentme, if they wanted their crap to last, they would diamond-coat the surface. but to tell you the truth, they arent interested in it at all. | 11:38 |
ThomasEgi | because blades is what they make big money with. | 11:38 |
delinquentme | ^^ | 11:39 |
ThomasEgi | srsly. i have seen polished polycristaline diamond plates. visitors were allowed to try and scratch the surface | 11:39 |
ThomasEgi | they had everything available you could wish for, grinding paper. steel-brushes... | 11:40 |
ThomasEgi | the brass block where the plate was embedded looked terrible. but the diamond surface looked brand new. | 11:40 |
ThomasEgi | so everyone in my class tried to scratch that thing with all their might. | 11:40 |
ThomasEgi | and it looked scratched. at least we thought it would. then the guy just whiped the dust off the plate. and. not a trace. | 11:41 |
ThomasEgi | they had that block there for full 5 years when we visited | 11:41 |
ThomasEgi | admitting, it aint a cheap process to diamond-coat and get polish polycristaline diamonds. pretty much the worst thing you can try to do in your life. but it lasts^ | 11:44 |
archels | ThomasEgi, someone should bring in a diamond. | 11:46 |
ThomasEgi | oh about that photo-masking. anyone tried to mount a slr-camera optics over the surface-to-expose. and trace-paint the light with a reprap? (having the board and optics mounted fix, and only a laser source moved ) ? | 11:47 |
archels | I've heard that being done for making PCBs, but apparently it's not very productive. | 11:48 |
ThomasEgi | i only know about directly laser-expose with a reprap. i never heared about it by using optics to scale it down | 11:49 |
archels | This is for PCBs, specifically? | 11:50 |
ThomasEgi | DSLR optics are pretty good, after all, the image sensor pixels are only 5μm wide. | 11:50 |
ThomasEgi | nah. i was more thinking about maybe using it for building smaller stuff | 11:51 |
ThomasEgi | for pcb's you wouldnt need 2mil precision. | 11:51 |
archels | exactly | 11:51 |
ThomasEgi | or even signle-digit micrometer | 11:51 |
ThomasEgi | i was thinking about it for semi-conductor-masking | 11:51 |
ThomasEgi | it may work with micro-fluids,too. | 11:52 |
ThomasEgi | because it pretty much projects the mechanical resolution of a reprap onto a ways smaller area. | 11:52 |
ThomasEgi | with monochromatic light from a laser source, that may allow pretty good accuracy. | 11:53 |
archels | A reprap seems like a shitty device to start out with; why not use two electromechanically actuated, orthogonally positioned mirrors? | 11:53 |
ThomasEgi | cause macro-obtics are expensive | 11:54 |
archels | two loudspeakers, tiny mirrors and some superglue | 11:55 |
archels | Perhaps you could also mod the optics of a CD player (tracking/focus). | 11:55 |
ThomasEgi | still a very in-precise system. hard to controll, nonlinear,... | 11:55 |
archels | Hard to control? Just take some old computer speakers, control via soundcard. :P | 11:56 |
ThomasEgi | your soundcard is DC free | 11:56 |
ThomasEgi | so.. no positioning at all. | 11:56 |
archels | mh and you need a Z axis (on/off). | 11:57 |
ThomasEgi | turning off a laser/led really aint the problem | 11:57 |
ThomasEgi | the good thing about projecting the lithographic mask/trace would be, you can check your design and handle it easily. | 11:58 |
ThomasEgi | and in worst case, you can even hand-paint your masks on some transparent foil. (or use tape) | 11:59 |

yashgaroth | whew the second half went a lot faster than the first | 23:01 |
yashgaroth | I do agree with his points on the hour+ ligations, though the necessity of octamers is worrying | 23:02 |
kanzure | i'm not sure what his volumes were | 23:03 |
yashgaroth | still, with high enough concentrations of reactants, a string of unligated hexamers might help the ligase along | 23:03 |
kanzure | an hour per ligation reaction is stupid | 23:03 |
kanzure | Effects of basepair mismatches on joining of short oligodeoxynucleotides by DNA ligases http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC146903/pdf/253403.pdf | 23:03 |
yashgaroth | it's common for most plasmid ligation, but if you can get superconcentrated ligase in a nano-drop, then that should drop | 23:03 |
kanzure | plus thermal cycling | 23:03 |
yashgaroth | also, the expense of waiting for an inefficient 6mer based reaction vs. the extra expense and hassle of an 8mer library | 23:05 |

yashgaroth | looks like he kept working at it though http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2994885/ | 23:07 |
kanzure | Efficient assembly of very short oligonucleotides using T4 DNA Ligase | 23:08 |
yashgaroth | but yeah doesn't seem like nmz's template strand addition will work by itself, though the coding strand addition., with the 3 hexamers, should | 23:13 |
yashgaroth | I'd like to think a mutant ligase with more useful short-strand binding could be made, but only very painfully | 23:14 |

kanzure | yashgaroth: coding strand synthesis thing in the diagram was just an unwanted side reaction | 23:20 |
kanzure | wait. i am corrupting things i think | 23:21 |

yashgaroth | surely I'm misunderstanding that kerfuffle about the $300million transatlantic cable to shave milliseconds off of trading transaction lag | 23:25 |
Steel3 | yashgaroth: that actually is a thing :P | 23:25 |
yashgaroth | arghh fuck | 23:25 |

nmz787 | yashagaroth, you here? | 23:26 |
yashgaroth | indeed | 23:26 |
nmz787 | kanzure said you think the red bracketed step in that diagram would work | 23:27 |
nmz787 | but the red brackets just indicate unwanted side-reactions | 23:27 |
yashgaroth | it seems that the efficiency of attaching a 6mer to a 3nt overhang is very low | 23:27 |
nmz787 | reports are that 5mer overhangs work well | 23:28 |
yashgaroth | sure, but then a 6mer library is right out | 23:28 |
nmz787 | but 5mer vs 3mer is an issue of ligase optimization | 23:28 |
nmz787 | why you say template vs coding addition would be different is interesting | 23:29 |
nmz787 | as it does bring up the point of where ligase 'rests' relative to the 'nick' | 23:29 |
yashgaroth | the ligase seems to like a guiding strand on the free end | 23:29 |
nmz787 | if it can even 'rest' on a 6 or 10mer, half of which is ssDNA | 23:29 |
yashgaroth | it's 'accustomed' to working with a dsDNA strand the stretches off far beyond its reach | 23:30 |
nmz787 | well sure but it seems from this paper http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2994885/ | 23:30 |
yashgaroth | eventually it'll work, but when a 2 hour reaction is considered fast... | 23:30 |
nmz787 | though the diagrams are unlabeled with respect to 5; and 3; | 23:31 |
nmz787 | i think they set it up such that they're ligating an oligo to the coding strand | 23:31 |
yashgaroth | the implication is the fluorescent attaches to the 3' | 23:31 |
nmz787 | ahh it does say that | 23:32 |
yashgaroth | either way, the efficiency of a 4nt overhang there is no better than a 3nt one | 23:33 |
yashgaroth | unless you have a helper strand, that is | 23:33 |
yashgaroth | but it shouldn't be a problem to add the upcoming 6mer as a helper, even if you have to wash it off and reapply it for the next step | 23:34 |
nmz787 | i don't think even numbered sticky ends is a good idea | 23:36 |
nmz787 | with odd numbered sticky ends, the middle nt can never be complementary | 23:36 |
nmz787 | decreasing its melting temp | 23:36 |
yashgaroth | wait why can't it be compementary? you mean the middle nt in a 3bp sticky end? | 23:38 |
nmz787 | the middle bp in any odd numbered sticky end | 23:39 |
nmz787 | AAATAA ligates to produce a sticky end of TAA.... excess oligo is in solution, leaving AATAAA to hybridize... but the middle nt doesnt match | 23:40 |
yashgaroth | ohhh right okay | 23:41 |
yashgaroth | wasn't sure if you meant hairpinning or what, but I gotcha now | 23:41 |
