"MSH-P/HC/NC/5/V/P/0 - 3% Volume Ethylene = 0.4V - 2.4V" We built that into a custom SS body with a Delrin mounting insert, and ran the serial connections to a custom board that interfaced with up to

I have developed custom Ethylene sensors in the past for customers, and Dynament (UK) is a manufacturer that I can definitely recommend if anyone wants to do this and go down the DIY electronics route without having to dig through a bunch o

On the other end of the spectrum (not testing specifications, but just simply "does it network?"), I have successfully ran a 100BASE-TX connection between industrial equipment using individual (not twisted) 24-AWG wires over 20ft.

I use path tracing for scientific/engineering studies of light propagation; in particular, I attempt to simulate monochromatic light sources and reflective/transmissive/absorptive material configurations (ranging from specula

Prions are like gamma-induced bit flips, Viroids are like small code patches, and Viruses are self-deploying code patches.

Displays with relatively simple off-board processing are common, too; you can often run a big display pretty reasonably with a 16MHz Arduino: buydisplay.com

I started reading it, and I thought "this style seems very familiar". When I got to the first schematic, it clicked and I checked the header for the author's name; sure enough, Forrest Mims!

That precedent was already established with Credit companies.

Whatever happened to good-old two-part JB Weld? Is that just a regional product? I thought everyone knew about it.

Yeah, I was on 4chan as a 16yo-20yo regular lurker starting back in 2004; never an active poster, just commenting randomly and joining in conversations on various boards. It was a decent anonymous community, sometimes I'd wander over t

And given that it was in an old dusty bottle packed away deep, it may have concentrated over time due to evaporation.

I honestly wonder why. I developed a portable small-quantity project a few years ago and designed in a 20AH LiFePO4 battery pack; it seemed like the only sane choice. The cost was slightly higher and density was slightly lower, but the diff

That analogy does not hold up when the CD you are observing from is in the same plane as all the others.

Worst place to ask this, I know, but... If I wanted to upgrade my old machine that currently has an HD 4770 (PCI Express 2.0 x16), where exactly could I find a worthwhile upgrade for less than $20?

I used the Melexis MLX90260/MLX90261 back in December 2014 for some sensors research at work, and they were not very helpful and the documentation was appallingly ambiguous for important parts of the programming; plus, it offloads all

Depends on how you do it, but some people just don't give up on someone "walking away". For example, Bill Ewasko - http://www.otherhand.org/home-page/search-and-rescue/searchi...

Responding with "false" as the result seems logically incoherent, as it assumes that the first two lines of the the three-line program are "true" when there is no reason to assume that is the case. Without any previous u
