Melbourn, UK — Velocity11, an Agilent Technologies company and pioneer in automation technology solutions for life science laboratories, has produced a new online video that demonstrates and describes its Bravo™ Liquid Handling Platform.
Its space-saving nine plate-position footprint can fit inside a standard laminar flow hood, enabling automated liquid handling for cell-based assays or hazardous reagent handling.
The Bravo utilises the proven high-accuracy pipette heads of the VPrep™ pipettor for dispensing from 100 nl to 200 ul in 96, 384, and 1536 well formats or to a single column or row of any of these plate types.
The deck is easily customised to meet a wide range of assays, with numerous plate pad options. Additionally, the unique, highly open design of the Bravo platform permits access from all sides for simple integration with other devices and unencumbered standalone use. Read the rest of this entry »
The goal of the SocialCalc project, as described on the Software Garden OLPC Home Page, is “to provide a capable, simple spreadsheet which runs locally on your computer”.
Software Garden is involved in the project of Socialtext, Inc., to provide a system based on a new version of the SocialCalc spreadsheet code on the OLPC XO-1 computer that is being called “SocialCalc” on the One Laptop per Child - OLPC initiative.
The main engine is written in JavaScript and is available under Open Source licenses. Much of the code, being written in a common scripting language, should lend itself to examination, reuse, experimentation, modification, and extension.
The latest version and its documentation is free and is downloadable from the page link above.
Described in wonderful detail, the pinhole camera is an easy to make introduction to the world of photography as this page on the KODAK web site shows.
What is A Pinhole Camera. you ask?
It is simply..”a small, light-tight can or box with a black interior and a tiny hole in the center of one end. By using common household materials, you can make a camera that will produce pictures.”
You don’t even need a PC or a digital camera, just some simple tools a little film and some way to develop the film.
Indeed, he is correct. Checking the source material is easier these days and the poll finding are published right on the Zogby website.
The Survey, dated Feb. 27, 2007 also says: (the survey) “finds two-thirds (of Americans surveyed) dissatisfied with the quality of journalism”.
Also, according to the same survey: “Web sites are regarded as a more important source of news and information than traditional media outlets”
Since this is a rapidly growing effect, it seems reasonable to conclude that the same trend is even more likely to be pronounced within the technology communities where use of Web & Net, in general, is more highly concentrated. Thus not only news and education resources are affected, but also the very way business-to-business interactions and skill honing are practiced.
I wonder how long it will be before Virtual Conferences and Expos overtake physical ones?
Now we can add written notes onto a PC without using a Tablet PC! Las Vegas NV, USA — The DigiMemo L2 is a stand-alone device with storage capability that digitally captures and stores everything you write or draw with ink on ordinary paper, without the use of computer and special paper.
Then you can easily view, edit, organize and share your handwritten class notes in Windows.
When connected to a PC, the DigiMemo L2 offers an on-line writing function which can instantly synchronize your writing on the paper with the digital page in its software in Windows. It also is a USB tablet device in Windows.
The Measure Activity on One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) is a tool on the XO, the $200 computer now in production, that allows kids to indulge in “learning by doing”.
It provides an interface for the kids to connect with the physical world and an opportunity to view and understand through a visual and statistical representation of the physical phenomena.
Using the Measure Activity on the XO, one can:
Connect sensors (light, heat, magnetic field etc) and view their signal. Thus it is possible to view and study physical phenomena
Input voltages and signals into the XO laptop and use it as an oscilloscope and
Log data at a specified interval and store and retrieve waveforms
