Python Tip: Properties with a parameter
This is probably”unpython” and whatever, but I do a lot of automation, and being able to access properties based on some index (like a port number) is pretty important. This is especially true since getting a property isn’t reading a variable, it’s actually reading the value from some piece of equipment.
And, in case pastebin dissapears:
# This was created based on a...
Silly Idea: Clockless Watch
Using a metal brush, a low pass filter, and a schmit trigger as digital clock source for the calculation circuit, you could make a horribly inefficient electronic watch that used the position of the sun (by a low res ccd or even photodiodes) and a compass to calculate the time. Can’t use a crystal or rc, because that would be cheating! Might as well just have it keep the time!
Idea: Cracked wafers?
Relating to the bandwidth segregated data transmission…
I picture chips
|=======| - photoelectric layer
|=======| - charge storage
|=======| - adjacent storage distribution
|=======| - logic
|=======| - diode and transistor junctions (photo).
photoelectric layer to supply power, probably wouldn’t have to be too efficient
store and filter the power
some sort of low voltage...
Scrambled for distribution?
Is it possible to scramble data so that the signal can be broken into channels based on an average over time? Usually in communication, the average is kept to zero using a known and syncronized psuedo-random sequence (a scrambler). Could the sequence be modified (by observation and modification or sub-channel) to allow distribution of data based on bandwidth capability? This would allow a bus with...
