Camera Project - Final Year(Beng)

Posted: 10 Nov 2010 10:52 AM PST

Hi,

I have a project which i have only started recently and in still the research stage.

The problem put forward is to:

  • Integrate a very small camera (between 1-3 megapixel) in an existing microscope (a very big microscope which is fixed to the table & floor)
  • Be able to control basic camera functions from outside, e.g. take picture & focus. I have option of wires connection to outside control box or wireless connection(Bluetooth?)
  • I have a budget of max £150 ish, and should not require to advanced skill. Think of it as a graduate level or similar.

I goggled and looked through many options and routes, but not yet found a viable and good option.

If somebody could please point in some direction or give me an idea of how to go about finding a solution.

Basically, somehow control a camera from outside the microscope and display on sometype of monitor/screen. Preferable Digital.


Thank You, any help will be much appreciated.

What is baseline wandering ?

Final year project for BSc/BEng course.

Posted: 10 Nov 2010 08:07 AM PST

Greetings, I just got myself registered here because I can't think of any idea for my final year project :/

I just look through the interesting project ideas list in this forum for Automobile as that is something related to what I'm studying (motorsport design and management).

So I thought of GPS based vehicle accident monitoring system..
Then again, isn't that already exists? - -"

Maybe I can make it more specified in motorsport sector..?

Any input/idea will be appreciated.
Thank you.

DNA Electronics announces grants of key international patents

Posted: 10 Nov 2010 05:47 AM PST

London, United Kingdom, November 10 2010 – DNA Electronics Ltd, a fabless provider of semiconductor solutions for real-time DNA and RNA detection, announced today the company has been awarded three key patents for semiconductor-based nucleotide detection. These latest patent allowances in the United States, China and Europe build upon DNA Electronics' strong semiconductor IP portfolio, relevant parts of which have been licensed non-exclusively to Roche and Life Technologies in recent months.

The core platform is based on an invention by semiconductor healthcare pioneer Professor Chris Toumazou FRS – founder and CEO of DNA Electronics – and a research student of his. In 2001, they found that when two complementary nucleotides bind together, protons are released, which generates a pH change, and that this pH change could switch on a microchip-based transistor known as an ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET). This effectively became a form of true "DNA Logic", turning the nucleotides of the DNA code into the 0 and 1 of digital computing. Since then, DNA Electronics has gone on to expand its IP portfolio and continues to develop its handheld Genalysis® semiconductor platform which offers unprecedented point-of-care results for infection detection and pharmacogenetics – predicting how a patient will likely respond to specific medication.

Commenting on the recent developments in the company, Professor Chris Toumazou said, "DNA Electronics has a technology and an IP portfolio with wide applicability and the potential to significantly transform life sciences and healthcare. We want to enable our licensees to pioneer semiconductors in the life science markets, as is now happening in the field of DNA sequencing. We provided access to relevant IP to Ion Torrent, and its subsequent acquisition by Life Technologies signifies the value of semiconductor-based sequencing platforms. As a company we are excited about this development and, as recently announced, we look forward to working with Roche's 454 Life Sciences to utilize our silicon chip expertise to support them in the development of their semiconductor sequencing platform." He goes on to say, "With these new patents awarded to the company, we are in an even stronger position to pursue our non-exclusive platform licensing structure."

DNA Electronics' technology is based on standard CMOS semiconductor technology, meaning that fabrication of the chip-based chemical transistors can be manufactured in any microchip foundry in the world without any modification of these exceptionally high-volume techniques. The CMOS semiconductor technology also allows scaling up of the number of sensors that can be integrated on to a single chip, as well as the integration of on-board readout, processing and communications circuitry. By leveraging DNA Electronics' platform technology, immediate conversion of chemical reactions to digital signals can record each nucleotide's incorporation in seconds, which makes possible scalable sequencers that complete runs in a matter of hours and enables truly point-of-care DNA diagnostic devices.

Building Load Shedding

Posted: 10 Nov 2010 03:32 AM PST

Hello CE'ers,

We have a building where the power trips whenever the load exceeds 400 amps. I have been asked to create a scheduel to shed some of the loads within the building whenever the power consumption reaches a certain load, so that the power never trips within the building.

I am very unsure where to start and do not really know of power phases etc. I have a list with all the equipment , it's phase, KW, AMPS and the assumed max current per phase. How would I go about the create a scheduel? The building has a BMS system which would control this.

Regards,
LEon

YouTube Labs: Test Tube to test smart topics

Posted: 10 Nov 2010 12:32 AM PST

YouTube will turn on an experiment in TestTube, its lab, in which users will be able to see what the company is calling "topics" above videos they find through search results or that are shared among friends.

"People don't know what to search for because they don't know what's there," Nandy said, referring to how Internet search and video search are two different problems.

When you search on Google, you're generally looking for a defined result, you just don't know where it's located. But when you're looking to be entertained, and you search for something like "funny videos," how is YouTube supposed to know what is actually funny, and what is merely stupid yet was labeled "funny lol!" by some user?

To try and solve that problem, YouTube has decided to put these "topics" front and center on videos as to evaluate how they are used.
"We're really creating a language of discovery," Nandy said. It's not clear when YouTube might be ready to bring this into wider distribution, but those interested in checking it out should be able to opt into the program tonight at TestTube.
