Medieval flat circular copper alloy seal matrix.The central decoration depicts a hawk perched on a gloved hand and arm, with the two lines below probably representing the hawk's jesses. This is a personal seal as opposed to a generic type.
The style of cross on the seal is a cross potent type and the inscription looks like:
+S'. ?E?'. DENqVESTO?' (Seal of ?E? DENqVESTO)
It may be an I ( capital i ) at the end, I'm guessing it's an Old French name, so maybe it ends …stoire?..still working on that!
Update.. A good friend asked on a forum with regards to the inscription and this was his take...
"I am sure of the first bit '+S'RAD:' which translates to 'seal of Ralph' but the last part is more problematic. It looks like 'DENPAPTOLL' where the P's are reversed. The last letter looks to be a ligature representing two L's instead of a Y, but that is still possible as the P's are also reversed. I first thought that the 'DE' may indicate 'of' as in 'Ralph of.....' but as there isn't a dot after the 'DE' like after '+S' and 'RAD' I think that it can be discounted.
So possibly +S'RAD:DEPAPTOLL or +S'RAD:DEPAPTOY or something else!! It is possible that the upper birds tail is splitting the last word in two instead of using dots as earlier in the legend."
I got sent some really cool Matrix Robotic kits and here is what I ahve built so far. This is completely compatable with LEGO MINDSTORMS
Digging deeper into the effects of driving this 32x16 led matrix. I'm turning on only the top pixel in each column (starting with one pixel, then two, then 4, etc), and for a really short time- roughly .04ns, then off for ~780ns before changing the address lines. I expect to see only the top pixel lit, however the entire column lights up, which means that there's a ton of ghosting, not only from one row to the next (which I would expect), but across all the addresses.
It's most certainly caused by a capacitive effect in the driver, but it seems fairly extreme. It's pretty dim so not noticeable under normal conditions (the above are 10 second exposures in a dark room), but starts to put a bound on the possible contrast ration and gamut of this matrix.

Today's clock is inspired by xmatrix and uses its font image. I didn't have time to re-create all of the effects, but might come back to it.
