With a Little Help From My Friends
March 5th, 2010
Today’s successes had a common thread–circumventing potentially frustrating delays thanks to help from the other science group here in Alice Springs, . TIGRE is a Compton telescope, like NCT, but uses somewhat different technology than NCT. Their group was the first to arrive in Alice Springs and will fly first. They’ve been extremely friendly and welcoming to us already, and today they saved our bacon–twice.
First thing in the morning, Jane and I started to connect the signal and power cables (“the harness”) to the detector cryostat. This is moderately delicate work, as the cables are fragile and the screws which hold them in are small. We were making good progress when we encountered a couple of connectors which we couldn’t screw in. Eventually we determined that the first few threads in the socket were stripped out; a longer bolt would work, but where would we find a US #2-56 x 5/8″ machine screw in metric-only Australia? The CSBF electronics crew didn’t have bolts that small, doesn’t deliver to Australia, and my calls to the local hardware store were met with baffled incomprehension. On a whim, we asked our neighbors–and sure enough, they had *exactly* the bolt we needed! Even the bolt head was correct. We breezed through the rest of the harnessing, and the detectors were ready to be connected to the readout electronics.
My view for most of the morning--the underside of the cryostat.
After lunch, we moved on to one of the jobs I find most satisfying–building the gondola. Few tasks we perform on campaign give such tangible evidence of progress in such a short time. With 17 years and five balloon launches under its belt, our gondola is venerable and a bit quirky. I’ve put the gondola together a few times now, so I have a sense of which bars need a bit of coaxing and which bolts are tough to install. With the addition of Dad’s capable hands, we were cruising right along–until we encountered a stripped thread. Unless we could find a way to re-cut the thread, we’d have to halt the gondola assembly. In Berkeley and in New Mexico, we could borrow the appropriate tap from the machine shop, but here we looked to be out of luck. And again, where (and as importantly, how soon?) would we be able to buy SAE-thread taps in Australia?
Attaching the electronics bay.
Though it seemed unlikely we could be so lucky, this time we went quickly to check with TIGRE, and sure enough, they had a tap which would work. With the threads cleaned up, the rest of the assembly process was smooth. At the end of the day, the gondola stood waiting for the detector and electronics which give it life. Great progress, thanks to the help from the folks next door.
Tightening the last bolts.
And for fun–a !

Medical Device Development Phase II Feasibility
March 4th, 2010
Summary of the Medical Device Contract Manufacturing and
Medical Prototype Design Product Development Process
A. Verification of Concept Prototype
Phase two of the medical device contract manufacturing process focuses on the technological product risks and how these risks will be overcome. It may be necessary to test the capability of a medical prototype design concept before further deliberation is given to it. In this situation, a verification of concept prototype is built. After the development of the prototype, a prototype approval meeting is planned. Verification of concept medical prototypes is more often a simply constructed prototype model. This reveals only the features that are in question and proves their capability. The primary objective of a verification of concept prototype model is to help develop a medical device prototype which is going to be ready for medical device contract manufacturing.
Initially, the verification of concept prototypes may be scale models, as in the case of some large products, or models made of other more easily formed materials. Sometimes a verification of concept prototype may include only certain features of our medical prototype design. They may also be created so that we can perform some feasibility testing on our conceptual design, if it is a relatively new and unique idea. Often, with the development of verification of concept medical prototypes, it is not practical to have them created out of the same material that will be used for the final product. For instance, machined steel may be utilized for a verification of concept medical prototype instead of casting. Cast plastic may be utilized as opposed to injection-molded pieces, or other methods that lend themselves to lower-cost verification of concept medical prototyping. The development of prototypes in many industries is even a specialized field for technicians because prototype cost can be significant in the overall research and development process.
B. Alpha Prototype
During the medical device contract manufacturing process, once the verification of concept for medical prototype design is approved, the alpha prototype test plan is to be written. This test proposal is generated prior to the design of the alpha prototype. This written alpha medical prototype test plan document ensures that the required operation of the unit is accounted for and explains in detail the testing requirements that the alpha medical prototype must meet. After authorization of the alpha test plan, the alpha prototype is designed and detailed to meet the design specifications. The overall goal of the alpha medical prototype design is to create a functioning prototype that meets all of the medical device design specifications. Realistically, final production tooling is not accessible at this juncture, so rapid prototyping procedures are usually utilized. ProengineerPortal uses several different prototyping procedures to rapidly produce plastic part designs and injection molding designs without the necessity for costly tooling or industrial design services. Upon successful completion of the alpha medical prototype testing, an evaluation meeting is held to assess the results of the testing and to determine where changes are necessary. These changes will be built-in to the beta medical prototype design, which would be the next step in the product development.
What makes the Unreasonable Institute Finalist Marketplace so compelling that I can’t stop writing about it? Well, for one thing, it’s a contest – and I love a contest, especially if it’s something I get to vote in – and couldn’t win if my life depended on it. For another thing, it introduces me to a bunch of young people that are doing such amazing things, it makes me feel hopeful about the future. Zehra Ali, head of Ghonsla is one of those high-impact social entrepreneurs that I really, really want to see go to the UI’s business incubator — and then watch her ideas fly.
Zehra is 24 years old, Pakistani, a recent graduate of MIT in Mechanical Engineering and Technology & Policy, and fixated on the idea of creating housing and energy solutions for the global poor. Her first line of fire: corrugated galvanized iron roofs that cover the homes of about 1 billion people in the world.
Zehra with village women & her insulation
CGI-covered homes are hot in the summer, cold in the winter, and require lots of wood to heat in cold climates like Pakistan, contributing to deforestation and indoor air pollution that is quite toxic. Yet after the devastating earthquake in Pakistan in 2005, 8.5 million sheets of CGI were distributed to rebuild homes. Zehra has a better idea.
A home with fresh Ghonsla insulation
In 2007, working with faculty at MIT and her team in Developmental Entrepreneurship, Zehra developed Ghonsla (meaning “nest” in Urdu). It’s an R3 insulation material that is made of readily available, renewable and waste materials like straw and resin, is 30-40% cheaper than other insulating materials in Pakistan, and will pay for itself in one year in firewood savings alone. What’s more, it can be produced, distributed, and installed locally, giving a boon to the Pakistan economy, where Zehra is already partnering with Packages, Ltd. (a large Pakistani corporation), microfinance and social organizations to organize financing, technology promotion and outreach to other communities.
The village middle school, before insulation by Ghonsla
Her pilot build of 12 houses and a school in an earthquake-affected village in Northern Pakistan allowed Zehra and her team to test the Ghonsla product and monitor its impact on income, indoor air pollution and wood consumption – as well as the families’ comfort. She came away sobered by the inadequate and energy-inefficient housing conditions she saw, filled with ideas for further R&D to improve the product and its market potential, and completely inspired by the resilience of the people of Pakistan and their eagerness to turn adversity into opportunity if given the slightest support and access to resources.
In the school she helped insulate, the students wrote on the newly insulated walls that were keeping them warm through the bitter cold: “Simple living and high thinking is the motto of a great people.” For great people like Zehra and her team, my $100 today goes to Ghonsla. Live long and prosper!

Another successful day! Dad and I started by heading off to the hardware store to get some white spray paint. Some of the gondola bars had been repaired after the last flight, and they needed to be painted to keep them cool in flight–the direct sun can make things very hot when there’s no atmosphere to block it! The first hardware store we went to was selling enamel spray paint for $19 a can (!!!). (Brush paint was $35 per liter–that’s $133 a gallon!) We drove around a bit before we located a Mitre 10 with much more reasonable prices.
Spray painting the ultimate model rocket.
Dad spent the rest of the morning touching up the gondola while we did some more unpacking and setting up in the hangar. We also cleared our empty crates out of the hangar, giving us much more space. After lunch, we pulled out the heavy BGO shields which reduce the background reaching the instrument. That’s always a delicate operation, but it was a prerequisite for our next step: integrating the cryostat into the cradle. Since the cryostat had reached Australia by air and the cradle it sits in by sea, we had to carefully hoist the cryostat into position. It was a team effort, but the instrument is in place. Tomorrow we’ll work on attaching the signal cables.
Those shields are heavy!
Working under the hood.
Service time!

After the long trip, decided to fully service the car.
Here we are with my usual Castrol Edge 5w30 with Ryco Oil filter, Valvoline Duragear 75w90 and TRD FR LSD oil.
I also use Proma MBL8 in the engine and gearbox.
After jacking up the car, I noticed this, a picture of times to come?
Hmmm won’t be long now 
I mistakenly drained the gearbox without checking how to fill it back up again…
After a struggle for a few hours and realising that my remote shift R154 can’t be filled from the shifter hole, I had to remove the gearbox cross member to fill the gearbox by gravity feed and a garden hose IN the dark. Let’s just say I won’t be doing that again…
Still didn’t manage to change the fluid in the LSD, but I’ll do it soon!

The average person who is trying to sell their car to an individual, understands that having the car clean and in pristine condition when showing can make a big difference, but should you take the same care when trading in a vehicle to a dealer. . . after all, you’re just “trading it in”, right? WRONG!
The term “trade in” used by dealers is intentional and is intended to separate consumers from the idea that they were selling their car. In a way it’s the same reason that casinos have gamblers use chips instead of cash – to make them feel like they aren’t risking real money. But, you are. When you are “trading in” car to a dealer, you are really selling the car, and you should take the proper steps to prepare your vehicle, if you want to maximize the trading/selling price.
In either case, your car should be in the best possible mechanical condition when you try to sell it. Be sure that you have performed all of the scheduled maintenance and consider fixing any minor issues. Gather all of your maintenance records and receipts, including oil changes and any warranty or repair work, so you can prove to prospective buyers (including dealers) that the vehicle has been well maintained.
The appearance of the vehicle is equally important. You may overlook some dirt, stains and cosmetic blemishes because you have an emotional attachment to the car (whether you realize it or not). A prospective buyer does not. That isn’t to say that you need to have every tiny scratch and door ding removed to make the car look brand new again. A certain amount of wear and tear is to be expected on a used car, consistent with its age and mileage. However, spending a few hundred dollars to have any dents or scrapes fixed (remember that time you backed into the cement lightpost?) could net you hundreds to thousand dollars in the selling price. You may not even need to take your car to a body shop. Mobile repair companies can perform minor body and paint work in the comfort of your own driveway at a lower cost than most body shops.
You should also thoroughly clean your car inside and out. Clean out all the junk and trash you may have floating around inside, under the seats and in the trunk. Vacuum every nook and cranny, clean the upholstery and headliner, and wipe down the dashboard and other interior surfaces. Clean all the glass, inside and out, including the mirrors. Wash and wax the exterior, polish the wheels and gloss the tires. If the vehicle is a sports car or luxury car, consider buffing out any scratches, fixing any “curbed” wheels, and even detailing the engine compartment, as buyers of these vehicles tend to be more discriminating. If all of this scrubbing sounds like too much work, consider having your vehicle professionally detailed. Even taking it to the local car wash for a quick rinse and vacuum will make a difference.
And if you are considering “trading in” your car, the appearance is just as important. When a dealer appraises your car, he has to take into consideration all the costs he will incur to recondition the vehicle for resale. He has to pay to fix it, clean it, advertise it and sell it, while making a comfortable profit. While a dealer may be able to do repairs and detailing at a lower cost, but it is still a hassle and increases his overhead expenses. The dealer may even decide that the reconditioning costs are more trouble then they are worth, and he will simply haul the car off to an auction and offer you below wholesale price!
Dealers are also human beings and, therefore, not immune to the “wow” factor. A clean, beautiful car invokes a positive emotional reaction, which easily raises the selling price. Most of us, including dealers, also assume that people who care about their car’s appearance also take good care of it mechanically. This can be a dangerous assumption, but you might as well use it to your advantage.
The bottom line is that nobody wants to buy a dirty car. Spending a few dollars upfront to make your vehicle looks its best will pay you back in the long run.

Picky about Trash
March 3rd, 2010
The (3/2, Demetriou) reported on a “device, created by Mitsubishi Electric Engineering Corp and Osaka University researchers, [that] identifies different plastic materials among rubbish and sorts them into piles.” The robot “uses five laser beams and sensors to detect a range of different plastics for recycling purposes.” Plastic recycling in Japan is comparatively limited, and the new device “aims to boost plastic recycling levels by identifying six different types of plastics that can be recycled and sorted from general rubbish collections.”
