300 Seconds of fame

2013-08-13T12:18:01Z

RyanPierce: /* Current 300SoF */

2nd Tuesdays of each month at PS:One, you! yes YOU! get to hear your fellow members, geeks, and other associated community-minded people present to whoever wants to show up, but only for 300 seconds apiece.

You've got five minutes. Use it wisely.

==What is it?==

300 Seconds of Fame (300SoF) is a combination/alteration of PS:One's separate [http://pumpingstationone.org/2009/11/lightning-talks-at-pumping-station-one/ lightning talks] and [http://pumpingstationone.org/2009/11/pechakucha-night-at-psone/ Pecha Kucha night], taking in elements from [https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Five_Minutes_of_Fame Noisebridge's Five Minutes of Fame], which in turn is an adaptation of CCC's Lightning Talks. The idea is that we hold about an hour's worth of 5 minute open mic slots. You can run shorter, but not longer, than five minutes.

Within those parameters, what is it? Glad you asked.

It can be a presentation, a musical number, a demonstration, a debate, a run-through of a proof of concept, performance art, live circuit bending, etc, etc, ad nauseum. Will it fit into five minutes, be feasible for the space, and be appreciated by an audience? Go for it.

==When and Where does it happen?==

Second Tuesday of every month after the 8pm meeting at PS:One. (doors open at 6ish)

==Why are we doing this?==

* Easy way to find out what's going on at PS:One -- no need to sit through long lectures.
* Some people are working on projects that are not ready for a full 30 minute or hour long talk, but they want to get their ideas out. Maybe they need help; maybe they want to propose an idea to the PS:One community.
* Some people are shy about public speaking and want to practice without giving an "official" conference talk, which can be daunting. This is a great way to try it out in a community of peers.
* These days, many of us are becoming entrepreneurs to one extent or another. If you're trying to sell your idea to someone, you need to be able to explain it in five minutes or less.
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordianism#Law_of_Fives "The Law of Fives"]

==How can I participate?==

Easy - sign up to give a talk! Contact Bry (bry on irc OR vicePresident @ pumpingstationone.org) or add your talk to the Current section below.

Include your name (or handle) and talk title, as well as whether or not you'll need projector access.

Right now, we're running this off-the-cuff. If we find ourselves pushing the hour limit, we may restrict sign-ups and/or schedule people for later months.

==How can I attend?==

Just show up!

==Configuration==
* Secondary electron detector (functional)
* 4 quadrant silicon backscatter detector (non-functional, troubleshooting in progress)
* Oxford Isis EDX detector (working, requires liquid nitrogen to operate)
* High Resolution Recording Unit (HRRU) (not currently connected, Polaroid film no longer produced)

==Certification==
This is probably the most complex piece of equipment we own. As such, certification will be broken into different levels which qualify a user to perform only a limited number of tasks. Unlike other PS:One equipment where anyone certified can, in turn, certify anyone else, at present the only person who may certify others is Ryan Pierce. We anticipate we will have additional trainers in the near future.

===Microscope User===
This level enables the user to observe samples already prepared and placed in the chamber. Users at this certification level may:

* Observe samples already left in the chamber.
* Observe their own samples if prepared and placed in the chamber by someone with Sample Preparer certification.
* Adjust beam current and aperture, and change between apertures.

Users possessing this certification may not:

* Vent the chamber
* Open the chamber and manipulate samples
* Adjust gun alignment
* Open the gun assembly, change filaments, anodes, etc.
* Replace apertures.

* Cleaning the gun assembly
* Replacing apertures
* Adjusting software configuration
* Anything involving disassembly of the microscope

|7/23/2013
|Ryan Pierce
|Disabled SEM option for "windowless EDX" because it seems like we don't have it and it was inhibiting the chamber from venting. Changed resolution on EDX computer from 640x480x64k colors to 1024x768x256 colors. Now it is much less annoying with little loss of function.
|-
|7/21/2013
|Ryan Pierce
|Did full detector calibration of EDX with copper target. Also changed SEM configuration to show multi-dot EDX present, which enabled EDX presence mapping, including support for multiple channels. (Tested 3.) Noted that Isis EDX PC floppy drive failed; need replacement.
|-
|7/20/2013
|Ryan Pierce
|Added liquid nitrogen to dewar and reset liquid nitrogen temperature sensor calibration. Demonstrated that EDX is functional.
|-
|7/14/2013
|Ryan Pierce
|Changed EDX power supply voltage from 240V to 120V. Computer now recognizes detector. Customer self-test passed.
|-
|4/14/2013
|Ryan Pierce
|Ran up new filament. Filament Current 2.71A is now 1st peak. Vacuum 7.5E-5 Torr. Aligned gun and aperture. (Changed to Aperture #2.) Resolution with sputtered gold looks good.
|-
|4/14/2013
|Ryan Pierce and Steve Finkelman
|Replaced filament. Adjusted to 0.6mm from face of grid aperture, which is standard for longer filament life.
|-

|Installed new CPU fan. Finished replacing all panels except for the CPU.
|-

==Configuration==
* Standard sputter coater
* Carbon arc attachment for carbon deposition

==Status==
* Requires argon for operation. Preferably high purity argon.
* Power cord is scary and needs to be replaced.
* Gas flow rate meter has a small leak, needs a new gasket.
* Changing the vacuum oil would be a good idea.
* Initial tests with welding argon showed that it worked and was sputtering metal, however maintaining a plasma seemed to use a lot of current. The former operator suggested pulsing it to burn any oxygen in the chamber out. The manufacturer suggested a short that could be remedied by a good cleaning, which was performed.

==Documentation==
Manual scans for the sputter coater are available, as is a manual for a similar but not identical model of the carbon arc deposition system. A location to drop them is needed.

The manufacturer was purchased by [http://www.anatechusa.com Anatech USA] and they still support this product.

==Configuration==
* Secondary electron detector (functional)
* 4 quadrant silicon backscatter detector (non-functional, troubleshooting in progress)
* Oxford Isis EDX detector (working, requires liquid nitrogen to operate)
* High Resolution Recording Unit (HRRU) (not currently connected, Polaroid film no longer produced)

==Certification==
This is probably the most complex piece of equipment we own. As such, certification will be broken into different levels which qualify a user to perform only a limited number of tasks. Unlike other PS:One equipment where anyone certified can, in turn, certify anyone else, at present the only person who may certify others is Ryan Pierce. We anticipate we will have additional trainers in the near future.

===Microscope User===
This level enables the user to observe samples already prepared and placed in the chamber. Users at this certification level may:

* Observe samples already left in the chamber.
* Observe their own samples if prepared and placed in the chamber by someone with Sample Preparer certification.
* Adjust beam current and aperture, and change between apertures.

Users possessing this certification may not:

* Vent the chamber
* Open the chamber and manipulate samples
* Adjust gun alignment
* Open the gun assembly, change filaments, anodes, etc.
* Replace apertures.

===Sample Preparer===
Curriculum in progress. The sputter coater will need to be ready for use before we can certify users for this.

===Microscope Maintainer===
Maintainers perform all maintenance on the microscope, including:

* Changing filaments
* Aligning the gun
* Replacing the anode
* Cleaning the gun assembly
* Replacing apertures
* Adjusting software configuration
* Anything involving disassembly of the microscope

* Requires argon for operation. Preferably high purity argon.
* Power cord is scary and needs to be replaced.
* Gas flow rate meter has a small leak, needs a new gasket.
* Changing the vacuum oil would be a good idea.
* Initial tests with welding argon showed that it worked and was sputtering metal, however maintaining a plasma seemed to use a lot of current. The former operator suggested pulsing it to burn any oxygen in the chamber out. The manufacturer suggested a short that could be remedied by a good cleaning, which was performed.

* Changing the vacuum oil would be a good idea.
* Initial tests with welding argon showed that it worked and was sputtering metal, however maintaining a plasma seemed to use a lot of current. The former operator suggested pulsing it to burn any oxygen in the chamber out. The manufacturer suggested a short that could be remedied by a good cleaning, which was performed.

* 4 quadrant silicon backscatter detector (non-functional, troubleshooting in progress)
* Oxford Isis EDX detector (non-functional, requires liquid nitrogen to operate)
* High Resolution Recording Unit (HRRU) (not currently connected, Polaroid film no longer produced)

==Certification==
This is probably the most complex piece of equipment we own. As such, certification will be broken into different levels which qualify a user to perform only a limited number of tasks. Unlike other PS:One equipment where anyone certified can, in turn, certify anyone else, at present the only person who may certify others is Ryan Pierce. We anticipate we will have additional trainers in the near future.

===Microscope User===
This level enables the user to observe samples already prepared and placed in the chamber. Users at this certification level may:

* Observe samples already left in the chamber.
* Observe their own samples if prepared and placed in the chamber by someone with Sample Preparer certification.
* Adjust beam current and aperture, and change between apertures.

Users possessing this certification may not:

* Vent the chamber
* Open the chamber and manipulate samples
* Adjust gun alignment
* Open the gun assembly, change filaments, anodes, etc.
* Replace apertures.

Talk:Kitchen Buildout Costs Vote

2013-04-17T19:13:08Z

RyanPierce:

Proposal text here:
http://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Kitchen_Buildout_Costs_Vote

== Will the city shut us down for building a kitchen not up to code? ==

we actually have some leniency with requirements. We've asked a few experts about this and our plan is moving forward based on that advice. Plumbing is not a big deal and we'll pay for it when needed. Electrical requires a permit, but most of the work we're doing will be fine as long as we meet and/or exceed the code. (d3fdfish)

== Will the land lord shut us down for building a kitchen? ==

The landlord won't shut us down- he gave us permission to basically do anything we want and he is being made aware of this. (d34fish)

== How are we handling cleanliness? ==
This proposal addresses creating a space for the kitchen. This should help keep shop grime out of the kitchen area facilitating cleanliness. As with any area of the space users will be responsible for policing their messes(Tucker)

== What happens to other groups needing a slop sink? ==

We already have a concrete sink being donated for this purpose from Carl. (d34fish)

== Where is beerchurch going to go when their space gets replaced with cabinets and a such? ==

Beerchurch will stay where it is. One of the reasons there aren't specific cabinets in the wall plan is to allow the brewing and kitchen users to fill in as they need. (Tucker)

== Is a kitchen neccesary? ==

Most members will already have a kitchen, but not a machine shop, weld shop, wood shop etc.

* Some members have garages, but still use the tools in the space.
* Some people just want to hang out and bake cookies. Others might want to make extracts for brewing. Others might want to teach a cooking class. (Colin)

== The plumbing is in a concrete wall, How expensive is that to deal with? ==

* Plumbing is not covered in this budget proposal.
* The plumbing is one of the next stages and will be considerable more expensive
* Some plumbing is exposed outside of the wall

== What about the ceiling? ==

We've gone over the ceiling a bunch- there's no good way to do it. (d34fish)

* We can't make the ceiling legal height and still meet code (d34fish)
* The lath board we'd need to hang the ceiling off the cinderblock wall would require us to completely repipe all of the plumbing that runs at the top under the catwalk (d34fish)

== Budget breakdown ==

Does the budget include/how does the budget include the following

* number and installation of outlets
** The cost of running outlets on the new wall is maybe $150 if there isn't drywall in place. (Tucker)
** The budget does not include outlets, just walls --[[User:Hef|Hef]]

== Is a kitchen going to cost more than this budget proposal ==

Yes. This proposal only covers walls, not electrical, plumbing, or a ceiling. --[[User:Hef|Hef]]

Yes, it will cost thousands when done. Eric wanted walls first, so I gave him a plan for walls. (d34fish)

== What is the Bill of Materials? ==

Exactly what is being purchased?

== Are the current plans substancial enough to make the kitchen a functional learning kitchen? ==

All this proposal does is put up partitions. The actual bread and butter of rehabbing a kitchen isn't even on the table yet. (Hailey)

== Is this project really going to achieve the goal of a vaguely sanitary kitchen? ==

Based on what d34fish has stated, we have little hope of ever getting a legal ceiling. We have a catwalk above the kitchen, which is a source of dust and contamination. The plastic sheeting in place now is, potentially, a fire hazard and may not be sustainable. Therefore, is it worth several thousand dollars to have a kitchen that has walls without a ceiling? Is this substantially better than what we have now, and enough so to justify the cost? (Ryan)

! Description
|-
|4/14/2013
|Ryan Pierce
|Ran up new filament. Filament Current 2.71A is now 1st peak. Vacuum 7.5E-5 Torr. Aligned gun and aperture. (Changed to Aperture #2.) Resolution with sputtered gold looks good.
|-
|4/14/2013
|Ryan Pierce and Steve Finkelman
|Replaced filament. Adjusted to 0.6mm from face of grid aperture, which is standard for longer filament life.
|-
|4/7/2013
|Ryan Pierce
|Installed new CPU fan. Finished replacing all panels except for the CPU.
|-
|4/?/2013
|Ryan Pierce
|Hacked CMOS battery from battery holder and 4x AA batteries. Had to change jumper on motherboard, per manual, to use external battery as opposed to on board battery. Replaced two of the three front panel light bulbs.

==Configuration==
* Secondary electron detector (functional)
* 4 quadrant silicon backscatter detector (non-functional, troubleshooting in progress)
* Oxford Isis EDX detector (non-functional, requires liquid nitrogen to operate)
* High Resolution Recording Unit (HRRU) (not currently connected, Polaroid film no longer produced)

==Certification==
This is probably the most complex piece of equipment we own. As such, certification will be broken into different levels which qualify a user to perform only a limited number of tasks. Unlike other PS:One equipment where anyone certified can, in turn, certify anyone else, at present the only person who may certify others is Ryan Pierce. We anticipate we will have additional trainers in the near future.

===Microscope User===
This level enables the user to observe samples already prepared and placed in the chamber. Users at this certification level may:

* Observe samples already left in the chamber.
* Observe their own samples if prepared and placed in the chamber by someone with Sample Preparer certification.
* Adjust beam current and aperture, and change between apertures.

Users possessing this certification may not:

* Vent the chamber
* Open the chamber and manipulate samples
* Adjust gun alignment
* Open the gun assembly, change filaments, anodes, etc.
* Replace apertures.
