Panasonic, together with the Belgium-based research institution IMEC, has developed a DNA testing chip that automates all stages of obtaining genetic information, including preprocessing. This development is expected to enable personalized, tailor-made therapy to become widespread. SNPs are variations in a single DNA base among individuals. Detecting SNPs makes it possible to check whether genetically …
This week we have been playing with another new product, the DipCortex. It’s an ARM Cortex M3/M0 in a 40 pin dip package and USB socket. It has two versions a NXP LPC1347 M3 and a LPC11U24 M0, the pin out roughly follows a certain range of 40pin 8bit micros. It’s perfect for quickly prototyping a …

Scan a PLUS is a robust, versatile and multi-application 9 Channels logic analyzer. It relies on the free ScanaStudio software to capture and analyze logic signals. This logic analyzer will capture signals at a steady rate of 100 MSPS (Million Samples Per Seconds), whether you’re using 1 or all 9 channels. No compromises. Thanks to its configurable …
create_drill_line_array1.21.zip Creates a line of holes or vias along an arbitrary path. Options for a trace with specified width/exposure which follows the line of vias. The vias can be spaced by total number for the guide path, or by distance between vias. Uploaded by James Connors from USA Uploaded on 07.12.2007 Read More: Share your …
Are you sick and tired of using a tooth pick to apply solder paste? Are you still using through hole components because you don’t want to deal with soldering surface mount devices (SMD)? If so, this post provides you with guidelines for building your very own laser cutter for cutting PCB stencils. With a total …
Frequency meter with some of quite good performance, capable of measuring frequencies from 1Hz to 10MHz (9,999,999 Hz) with a resolution of 1 Hz over the entire range. Ideal for function generators or as a standalone meter. It is cheap and easy to make, with parts that can be bought anywhere, and with a small …
We had been hunting for the right tool for a while and I Sticky was exactly what we needed! It‘s a really simple way to leave sticky notes on fellow team-mates‘ desktops and coordinate to-do lists. The most important thing is that we don‘t need to open a web page or other app, which is …

Low-power microcontrollers have done much to improve longevity in energy-harvesting systems. Clever architectures and use of low-power modes lets micros draw nano amperes of current while preserving registers and configuration data. This allows designers to use smaller and less dense energy storage solutions that were not feasible in the past. Nevertheless, energy storage, which plays …
