A grid of capacitive touch sensors could be printed directly on the pcb, bringing down costs by a degree of magnitude. Real switches are much more satisfying though.
I want to do a game like lights out. I'm thinking in 3d printing transparent caps and using dirt chip pcb switches and standard leds. The cost must be also down to 30 cts. Would be like a middle ground.
I can’t obviously. But if they don’t have enough, despite massive overdosing for years, that would be very surprising. (The test only shows one of three possible outcomes. It is not a quantitative procedure.)
Concur: that would be surprising. I was more focused on the possibility of having a dangerously high blood level which is fraught with negative sequelae.
This test — among many others — offer quantitative results at home:
Pretty expensive though. Lab costs in Germany are <20 € for a quantitative test and the cost of the physician for taking the sample is usually covered by insurance.
”…participants did not significantly differ between the vitamin D3 (n = 863) and placebo (n = 884) groups [cumulative incidences, 0.28 compared with 0.29; odds ratio (OR), 0.97; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.75, 1.24]. Similar nonsignificant results were observed for the prespecified secondary treatment and prevention outcomes, though per-protocol analyses showed a nonsignificant trend toward benefit of vitamin D3 on the prevalence of long COVID at 8 wk (OR, 0.78; 95% CI: 0.59, 1.03).“
Nothing to see here, but in general it is a good idea to publish non-results and should be done on a regular basis.
The disclosure relates to methods, devices, and systems to identify a user of a wearable fitness monitor using data obtained using the wearable fitness monitor. Data obtained from motion sensors of the wearable fitness monitor and data obtained from heartbeat waveform sensors of the wearable fitness monitor may be used to identify the user.
Model A: some visionary gets a great idea and everyone across the board stops whatever they’re doing all at once to prioritize this one initiative, budgets and contracts and laws be damned.
Model B: the modernization department sets standards, those standards are mandatory in the governments procurement process. All suppliers know to update, everything swaps out as-planned over time, no one goes to jail.
Yes but not in five years. The chips will be dirt cheap by then. We‘ll get “intelligent” washing machines that will discuss the amount of detergent and eventually berate us. Toasters with voice input. And really annoying elevators. Also bugs that keep an extremely low RF profile (only phoning home when the target is talking business).
