Deploying Gas Sensors for Urban Canyons As part of my collaborative work on the XGEM project, some of older sensors are getting new life. I have deployed several of the original models and some new custom devices at a simulated urban canyon. My colleagues in Architecture such as Lee Fithian and Wenwen Cheng are interested …
Sensor Paper I finally published my second paper from my dissertation work (see here for the first) developing sensors entitled: Sensor Array for Wireless Remote Monitoring of Carbon Dioxide and Methane Near Carbon Sequestration and Oil Recovery Sites in RSC Advances. As with all of my work, it is published with open access. Get the …
My first paper from my work in graduate school has been published about the properties of low cost gas sensors entitled: Precision and Limits of Detection for Selected Commercially Available, Low-Cost Carbon Dioxide and Methane Gas Sensors. The publication in the journal “Sensors” can be viewed directly at the publisher’s site. The article is open …
I just found that some of my consulting work for Xplosafe has been featured in The Oklahoman! As you may have noticed, I have been so busy with real life, that I have been neglecting my website. Yet I am still among the living, and this article is proof of that. One of the things …
It’s a snow day here, and I’ve been busy on a project. So this week is a quick, simple post about sugar and metal. If you ever study metal contents in sugary solutions (in this case, a juice mimic), you should not evaporate your contents. In our lab, we never processed our waste. However, we …
In last week’s post, I discussed a method for DIY PCB etching. This week, I will be continuing in that manner by showing you the final preparation steps I used to get this board ready for soldering including cutting, drilling holes, and protecting the copper with liquid tin. Cutting and Drilling Once the boards were …
It is a new year, and my dissertation has finally made it past embargoes to publication. Allow me to present: Development and Applications of Chemical Sensors for the Detection of Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide and Methane. You can view the ProQuest entry here. There is a download link to the full text at the bottom of …
Two weeks ago, I discussed the inspirations for a Greek Philospher mask. Last week, I showed how this mask was built up. This week, my Greek Philosopher mask will be completed with the addition of paint and lacquer. An Aside About Rocks The ‘stone’ surface of the Greek Philosopher mask was painted to look similar …
This is a proposal I wrote and submitted to the July 2017 cycle of the NASA NPP program to work on development of SiC logic for a Venusian satellite project.. It was rejected and I went another direction. The SiC logic proposal idea was generally well received. While many of the reviewers comments could have …
Isn’t it a hassle when you go try to keep your class notes organized and bound, but your professor loves handouts? Just take to bookbinding class notes into a copy worth keeping, like I have. This and the post next week will show the steps I took to bind the notes from one of my …
