@Volcano, did you work it out? I think you should have a delete button next to edit etc under the question although you'll get an error if it has answers.
@Volcano, just noticed it and that was a better way to go about it by answering yourself instead of deleting the question. You can accept your own answer too assuming you're not looking for any further suggestions not it's solved.
@PeterJ Both would work! Should pass, completely isolated patient sensor, and the sensor is ISO10993 epoxy coated under USP VI heat shrink--not that the clin eng guys will care about that, but I also have to get it through a research subjects review board. If I can get those guys to classify it in a certain way, I can get a local clinical device exemption instead of having to nurse it through the FDA.
@jippie maybe I can use the heat off the snubber resistor to create a current in dissimilar metals and harvest this for prius charging if I can get the correct thermal paste
@rawbrawb Nah, I did "Yo" and "Oy" long before it went mainstream. :)
I suspect that Stephen Collings is going back and editing his posts in an attempt to put his stuff on the main EE.SE page. Damn, I wish I thought of that! :)
@DavidKessner Two terms from sub-cultures, neither of which are strongly present in Boulder. Just doing your bit to ensure culture diversity remains? You could invent your own Boulder Homie slang and combine the two terms YooY!
He's been around for 1 year, 7 months. Almost all of his edits have happened since June. Weird. (I'm not calling BS on this, just pointing out that it's interesting. I don't have issues with his edits.)
@jippie I mean... all you gotta do is a search at your favorite parts distributor for terminal blocks with 0.1" spacing. On Digikey, you can get up to 12 in a row for about $2.50
I can spend $5 on shipping on a $0.10 part from Digikey/Mouser and have it delivered to my house. I'm assuming you can do that in the EU, but maybe with a different supplier.
@jippie They may be the same thing, depending on what each manufacturer calls their stuff
@jippie The problem is "long wires" is incompatible with "breadboard". Even if it was solid wire and could be inserted then the weight alone would tend to pull the wires from the breadboard. And I don't think that a terminal block would help.
What you want is for the breadboard to be mounted on something else, like perf-board. And having good connectors mounted on the perf-board.
@DavidKessner I can use sticky tape, no problem. It's just for a proof of concept that I can't have on my desk. Then if I have to reprogram the microcontroller I don't want to have 12 loose wires that need replugging
@EwokNightmares My point is, just because you don't like old Vermouth from the back of the cupboard doesn't mean you don't like vermouth. If you tried a 20 year old bottle of Budweiser and didn't like it, would that mean you don't like beer?
@AnindoGhosh So your either had an event that was seared into your memory or an event that you don't recall that should have been seared into your memory...
@EwokNightmares And yes, some dates I have a great memory for, basically any non-recurring date of any event in my life (i.e. I cannot remember birthdays or anniversaries)
@W5VO I thought you were talking about the inductance ... oops, should have knkow better. But this works, especially is you look at it like a transmission line.
@EwokNightmares Pure nonsense. Wiki is a bad source. The distinction is that one is happening in the source (pipes) and the other is happening because of device properties itself. You are getting the kick back ONCE you disconnect, the supply doesn't see it, your FET does and dies.. For it to be the same the down stream water (from the tap) would have to come back and kill the tap.
In the first two quarters of 2013, they sold about 85 million iPhones. Sales typically slow down for the second half, so let's say that they sell 60 million units. That's still 145 million iPhones for 2013.
@EwokNightmares I get those anyway. Usually I give them a realistic range of numbers, which has it's own bogosity and inflation in it from our own marketing/sales people.
@EwokNightmares They are eager when you do one (or more) of three things: 1. Get them excited about what you're designing. 2. Have a good chance of making them money. 3. Make them look good in the eyes of their bosses. Master them and you will have an ally worth having!
For #3: Sometimes sales people need to meet quotas on presentations or whatever, especially when they have out of town people to parade around. I always tell them that if they are struggling to meet their quota that I'll help them out even if their stuff doesn't quite apply to me. They really appreciate that.
@EwokNightmares More than just deals: they are more likely to go the extra mile for you, and provide technical assistance when they would not normally. Or get you more eval boards or samples for free.
@EwokNightmares Yes, it does. But they can, especially in a smaller city like Denver, think more long term. So they can think 2 to 5 years ahead, and not just with the current project of the day.
it is silly when they ask you to come to their FPGA training course and it is just 1-2 hours of FPGA use and the rest of the day is reserved for "networking" and they watch fotball all day together and skip out of work
@EwokNightmares I haven't see that. Unless you are talking about the customers skipping out. Of course, we have a large Xilinx office just down the street so that might have something to do with it.
@EwokNightmares Absolutely! CO isn't cool in the summer. Was almost 100F earlier this week. I grew up in CO, and I like it a lot. When my wife and I had our first kid we wanted to own a home-- and that is just stupid in CA. Prices are way over-inflated.
@EwokNightmares It's amazing. California has other things to offer, but most of it is just too big, too expensive, too over the top, and everything starts to look the same. Good to visit, but that's it.
@EwokNightmares I do a little. I brew out my ACL a few years ago and I haven't been doing much skiing since then. SOme, but not a lot. Mostly hiking and fly fishing.
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a cruciate ligament which is one of the four major ligaments of the human knee. In the quadruped stifle (analogous to the knee), based on its anatomical position, it is also referred to as the cranial cruciate ligament.
The ACL originates from deep within the notch of the distal femur. Its proximal fibers fan out along the medial wall of the lateral femoral condyle. There are two bundles of the ACL—the anteromedial and the posterolateral, named according to where the bundles insert into the tibial plateau. The ACL attaches in front of the intercond...
@EwokNightmares After surgery, without the brace, I'm at maybe 90%. The brace doesn't really improve that, but it prevents me from messing it up again.
