FDA Section 503(c) is one (of probably many) regulations that medical device makers must adhere to in order to legally sell their medical devices for use in the USA. Not to be confused with any similarly numbered tax codes.
Probably keep it out of the sterile field, although systems like the Da Vinci surgical 'bots have sterile drapes since they have to be in the sterile field.
Unless you can completely RF shield the unloaded conductor (impossible to be completely unloaded and perfectly shielded) there ill be a largish induced current on the line unless it's the grounding or grounded conductor. This is why the testers I specified and the dozens just like them are in every electricians tool belt and are commonly used. This is in response to someone who, ironically, had this issue and didn't know a real electrician wouldn't have ever had the problem with a false reading due to an induced voltage from a high impedance source.
Actually EVERY electrician who has a journeymans card should be using (and every one I know does, which is a lot) an electrical tester that includes a load, such as a Klein model ET100 or the ubiquitous Knopp K-60, if your electricians don't routinely use these I suggest you invest in better electricians.
Doing it wrong. Any electrician can tell you that to measure voltage on a power supply line you need a load, and in fact the "Wiggins" electricians use has a big solenoid inside to provide just such a load. No EE required....
What it's doing is essentially allowing you to look at a DLP chip through a series of special lenses, by making the DLP chip look like it's much larger than it really is and much further away via the optics. It's not beaming anything directly into the eye any more than the sun is "beaming" the light you see right now into your eye. It is, as another poster pointed out, much like looking into a microscope, or even looking at the world through corrective lenses.
The only thing that prevented me from buying Nokia phones was the Symbian OS; I've worked with it, even done a tiny bit of consulting for Sony-Ericsson getting some bits shoveled into a new "Symbian Smartphone" back just before the iPhone hit. If the Nokia devices run a remotely competitive OS their overall hardware quality is hard to ignore. Until the new MS Phone platform takes off or they go to something else, that's just not good enough for me though.
I can't mod you obviously but yes, if they'd sold off Symbian share like the other partners did and adopted something that sucks less (a long list) they would likely be better off today IMO.
The question is, should that be the (ever shrinking and low margin) segment an industry leading company is concentrating on dominating? Or should they do what most others did and bail out of Symbian and gone with Android?
Anyone who thinks Symbian was a decent alternative OS and that abandoning it for virtually ANYTHING else was a mistake needs to have their head examined. In fact I'd credit sticking to Symbian for too long with as much of Nokias problems as anything else.
Asking a 10 year old to get naked isn't a gray area, this isn't a case where a 16 or 17 (or even 15) year old "looked old enough"; this is absolutely a (virtual) child these turkeys are trying to use for their own thrills. More like this and fewer child porno cases against cartoons are what is needed.
In my current vehicle the transmission and throttle are both FBW and the brake system also has significant connections into the control logic. For instance it's tricky for me to dry my brakes after driving through a puddle by dragging the brakes and adding throttle, as very little brake pressure is required to force the throttle command to zero, in spite of the throttle position. I can live with that - it's just good to know about it.
I get that, however my astonishment comes from the fact that ISVs have been crucial to the success of platforms, and the chicken/egg situation WinRT presents to developers such as myself. They have a platform that is compatible with a huge library of software and that has the same tablet interface available, and they have a phone platform that's not quite source compatible with the PC version of Windows. To invent WinRT and make it the next gen phone OS makes some sense since it's an improvement in that phone apps could be recompiled for x86 tablets, and x86 tablet UI apps could easily migrate to phone. But instead they invented yet another platform. That is the source of my astonishment.

So would his corrective eye wear be. The concept of a sterile field isn't easy to grasp but the surgeons face isn't autoclaved either.

Likely the software will have to be FDA approved under section 503 or whatever it is.
Yeah I tried that "no honey, it's an ID verification device" line before too.
... induced voltage ...

Exactly. It's either a clamp on or an intrusive procedure involving a (probably massive) shunt and wrenches.
The output is going to be variable frequency and in other ways "not what the clamp on maker was expecting".

I think we have a candidate for oddest new unit of measure, the kwh/day.

Just like the CBM Amiga

For me, it looks like MS identified a wounded giant and is capitalizing on that. They didn't inflict the wound so much.

Maybe that was their plan all along? Desperate times, desperate measures and so on.
I had to unzip to allow a godlike observer to have a look - now people can comment.
