| nmz787_ | "We propose a design methodology and tool to design microfluidic chips based on SMT solvers. The design of these chips is expressed using the language of partial differential equations (PDEs) and non-linear multi-variate polynomials over the reals. We convert such designs into SMT2 format through appropriate approximations, and invoke Z3 and dReal solver on them. Through our experiments we show that using SMT solvers is a not only a viable ... | 02:48 |
| nmz787_ | ... strategy to address the microfluidics design problem, but likely will be key component of any future development environment." | 02:48 |
| nmz787_ | well that's encouraging | 02:48 |

| chris_99 | nmz787_, that's just the jpeg, yeah at full res raw it looks pretty good, i can play with the iso / shutter speed etc too | 03:24 |
| chris_99 | i knocked up something last night to generate the spectral graph | 03:25 |

| kanzure | dunno how much non-icestorm fpga dev kits are supposed to be priced at these days.. http://store.digilentinc.com/nexys-4-ddr-artix-7-fpga-trainer-board-recommended-for-ece-curriculum/ | 20:55 |
| xentrac | hey, so you know this topology optimization stuff? And MEMS? there's this "new" (2013) book out called "Handbook of Compliant Mechanisms" about flexure design | 21:17 |
| xentrac | you might remember Merkle's buckling-spring gates, which fall within this category | 21:18 |
| xentrac | the book has a chapter on topology optimization, but nothing about mechanical digital logic as far as I can tell | 21:19 |
| kanzure | vlsi mechanical logic is a thing that exists by now, surely | 21:21 |
| xentrac | it turns out that flexures have advantages of up to several orders of magnitude over sliding-contact mechanisms in efficiency, fabrication cost, wear lifetime, operational frequency, and precision | 21:21 |
| xentrac | although they have major disadvantages as well | 21:22 |

| xentrac | in one of the first sections of the book, it says, "Compliant mechanisms will likely be central to the creation of nanoscale machines." | 21:24 |

| xentrac | the topopt chapter is a bit weak though | 21:50 |
| xentrac | like, the climactic flexible pliers design at the end of the chapter is actually by Ole Sigmund, the topopt dude | 21:51 |
| xentrac | rather than by the chapter's author | 21:51 |
| xentrac | and it's 2D, and they didn't actually build it | 21:52 |

| xentrac | the second half of the book is a library of known mechanisms but even they kind of suck | 21:58 |
| xentrac | but hey it's a start | 21:58 |

| xentrac | hmm actually there are some interesting things in here | 22:25 |
| kanzure | http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/busting-the-billion-dollar-myth-how-to-slash-the-cost-of-drug-development/ | 22:47 |
| kanzure | didn't actually look closely, but was there a suggestion in there of pairing rare neglected disease medications together? just mix things together until the finance works out? heh | 22:47 |

| superkuh | I actually had to buy that one in Hardcopy. It's nowhere online except in Portuguese. It is not a very good book. The concept is fun but it's hard to ignore how forced everything is. It's like a prototype for his excellent later books set on neutron stars. | 23:19 |
| fenn | yep he's a terrible author | 23:19 |
| fenn | i bought every robert forward book with the intent of scanning them | 23:20 |
| superkuh | I bought Camelot 30K this winter with every intent of forwarding it to http://1dollarscan.com/pricing.php . But it was bad. So I didn't. | 23:21 |
| fenn | aww | 23:21 |
| fenn | the ideas are what is important | 23:21 |
| fenn | where else are you going to learn about x-ray mirrors | 23:21 |
| superkuh | Usually I'd agree. | 23:21 |
