In reading this, (I support a customer who does sat cells) it would look like you might get between 3 and 10 percent possibly. But space level cells are gallium arsenide based and not silicon. Since I do not work in the front end i will not guess.
Just wanted to say, thats a very impressive letter. With real meat! You never know, yours might be the one take to heart, not that politicians have any.
Yes you can, visit this article at Groklaw and look at a sample from the ones that were posted. The idea is to let them know they are setting standards that may be viewed from around the world, and that they are being watched as an example. While initially there were only 50 letters submitted, we all know what the power of slashdot users can do.
Massachusetts would like to recieve comments about Microsoft's OfficeOpen XML specification (now Ecma 376) being proposed as an addition to their list of usable "open standards". I'm hearing that they are reading the emails and will take them seriously.
It's a proposal, and it's not yet carved in stone. Time will tell if they mean it, but with that reassurance, I have to put my cynicism on hold, at least for now, and say that if this is an issue you care about, you need to let them know how you feel in polite and informative emails before July 20th, 2007. It never hurts to try, particularly since I've no doubt Microsoft is lobbying wherever it can. When I thought it was useless, I didn't want to pretend otherwise or have you engage in make work. But if it has a chance, it's very different.
Here's the address to write to: standards at state.ma.us. (Only use the @ symbol instead of the at.)
I suspect the most important thing right now is numbers, so even a short email is helpful. They can't know how you feel unless you tell them, and they can't understand the tech unless it's presented with proofs of statements made. And remember, it's a new crew, so some of the things we explained the first time may not have been transferred to the new brains at the helm. So please let me provide you with some resources, so that if you wish some materials at hand to compose a more thoughtful and more technical email, it will save you some time.
I am currently bidding on an automated solar tester. They use 1 sun for testing the cells, even the ones that will have the sun magnified are tested with one sun.
Actually its all about scale economics. Typically the cells used in arrays in space are made up of cells that are about 2x4 inch. So you only get about 2 cells per wafer.
Now things are being shrunk down, just like everything else. You can get 50 or 60 smaller cells on the same size wafer. Then use a magnifier to put more light on the smaller space, get same watts out. Do you have any idea of the number of suns a 4" magnifying glass produces? These will find their way into your portable electronics, such as gps, laptops etc.
First, most cable runs, especially pulled cable runs do not run true. Their intertwined. So this appears to only be able to follow one cable with the side support legs it has. And how is it going to scan the cables under it. While it could listen for the ultrasonic tell tail signs of leakage. What the heck is it going to do. There are two choices, pull the cables out and replace them, or just pull another or use a spare. There are other ways that are a lot easier to determine leakage in power cables. While this is a good excerise in engineering, I see no over compelling advantage to this.
Superglue the frames together, use black electrical tape, to go around both frames so it looks like one unit. Then remove one of the asset tags if there is on.
This work has been going on for a long time in the market, in so far as die stacking. The problem I see with this implementation is unequal heat growth will tear them apart. (on large surface area dies) maybe not in the 10 to 20 mill range, but thinking about large areas like processor size dies, this will be a problem.
While your may be right about the current level of this project, what your missing is when you do prototyping like this, is the idea is used to model actual parts at a quicker pace (and cheaper) then sending out to a machine shop. Very often making something and looking at it in your hand is better than looking at it solidworks or any other 3d modeling program.
But you see, those who are there, have built barriers where your talent will not allow you to get there. Patents on things like this are an excellent example of the barriers.
I felt the same way as you, that nothing in the world could stop me, but this started to fade away after 40.
Yes its pulled from there. And the value does not matter, what matters is those with the gold rules, and continue to make their own rules, to control the rest of us meager hard workers just making a living.
Slashdot Mirror
Wonder why they allowed the stock to trade today at all. Seems very funny to me.
Kid a break, he's 17. And while we are on it, how many billions of $$$ can the "security industry" suck off the American people.
Not that I would play this game, but it would be nice to have some links to detectors and removal of this type program.

About 3500$ a gallon?

They have located the TERRORIST communications hub!
1. Get first DS3 up - check
2. Setup webcam - check
3. Setup webserver - check
4. Post on slashdot and soak the DS3 - check
5. Stress test in progress
They know how to deliver, the pipeline to the stores will be full.
Google for momentary e-stop.C Y-KEY-ENCLOSURE-BOX-NEW_W0QQitemZ300116926899QQihZ 020QQcategoryZ42898QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZVi ewItem
But here is one that would do http://www.automationworld.com/view-3183, you can order momentary, locking, with proper contacts. But I agree, ebay would be best for a cheep one. Here is one on ebay with locking key so toddlers don't reset your system http://cgi.ebay.com/E-STOP-MOELLER-RPSR-S-EMERGEN
The common variety of E-Stops are locking, you want the momentary type, as said by poster, with open contacts.

Donated for myself and another geek, named anonymous. And believe me, im stingy with my $.

Set back and smile.
I am looking forward to watching PJ saunter down towards the stand in her red dress, as the crowd throws rose pedals.
