Smart Medicine Box
Posted on: 01 Feb 2016
Our ECE 4760 final project is to build a microcontroller based smart medicine box. Our medicine box is targeted on users who regularly take drugs or vitamin supplements, or nurses who take care of the older or patients. Our medicine box is programmable that allows nurses or users to specify the pill quantity and day […]
FlashProg – USB serial flash memory programmer
Posted on: 31 Jan 2016
FlashProg is USB base flash memory programmer to work with 3.3V serial flash memory devices. This programmer is specifically design to read, program and configure 25x series, serial flash memory devices which are commonly used to store BIOS in PC mainboards. Originally we design this project to read and program BIOS of Foxconn G31MXP mainboard. […]
Nixie Tube Clock
Posted on: 30 Jan 2016
If you’ve poked around the internets where electronics hobbyists collect, it is likely that you are acutely aware of our incontrovertible affinity for building timekeeping clocks. It is similarly unlikely that you have been able to evade the plenitude of nixie tube based projects. There is a reason for this. Nixie tubes are cool. They […]
Protect USB measurement circuits
Posted on: 29 Jan 2016
USB data-acquisition modules offer good value and ease of use. Which makes them an attractive choice for manufacturing test. But before you use the modules in a manufacturing test system. You need to take steps to protect them. During manufacturing test of circuit boards or subassemblies, a defect in an assembly may result in a […]
New study using cryo-electron microscopy shows how potential drugs could inhibit cancer
Posted on: 29 Jan 2016
A new study shows that it is possible to use an imaging technique called cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to view, in atomic detail, the binding of a potential small molecule drug to a key protein in cancer cells. The cryo-EM images also helped the researchers establish, at atomic resolution, the sequence of structural changes that normally occur in the protein, p97, an enzyme critical for protein regulation that is thought to be a novel anti-cancer target.
Scientists build a neural network using plastic memristors
Posted on: 29 Jan 2016
A collaborative of Russian and Italian scientists has created a neural network based on polymeric memristors, devices that can potentially be used to build fundamentally new computers. According to the researchers, these developments have applications in systems for machine vision, hearing, and other sensory organs, and also intelligent control systems for various devices, including autonomous robots.

Corals, crochet and the cosmos: how hyperbolic geometry pervades the universe
Posted on: 28 Jan 2016
We have built a world of largely straight lines – the houses we live in, the skyscrapers we work in and the streets we drive on our daily commutes. Yet outside our boxes, nature teams with frilly, crenellated forms, from the fluted surfaces of lettuces and fungi to the frilled skirts of sea slugs and the gorgeous undulations of corals.
Game theoretic approaches up the ante on defending cybersecurity resources
Posted on: 28 Jan 2016
While the notion of “players,” “actions,” and “payoffs” may seem more suited to Las Vegas gaming tables, game theory as a mathematical tool has steadily grown in cyber defense applications. In ongoing and progressive work being conducted under PNNL’s Asymmetric Resilient Cybersecurity initiative, scientists have taken on the challenge of addressing the sources and types of uncertainty that can arise in realizing a resilient cyber system
A Tutorial For Launching Your First Balloon
Posted on: 28 Jan 2016
There are a lot of reasons to put together a weather balloon launch. Its a great project for a STEM /STEAM class, it requires planning, electronics and programming, and teamwork. It has a lot of great classroom applications, giving a tangible demo of aerodynamics, physics, meteorology, geology, and more. Additionally its a great way to […]
