A research sample laminated with DuPontTM PV5300 Series encapsulant. Researchers are developing new materials for electronic applications, including photovoltaic module production.
Electronics cabinet with all of the hardware including Blu-ray, mac mini with 2Tb drive for media, RF & IR repeater for remote control, and IR to INSTEON converter for lighting controls. It's not pretty, but it all works.
This Fry's is located in an odd-shaped building, like converted 70s office space. The interior theme is a tropical island paradise. No cafe.

We came across an interesting oddity from the realm of consumer electronics: a fake seven-segment LED display. Just for fun, we made our own version too.

Everything is soldered together, not possible to disassemble further without damaging the original work.

Front view still missing a few components. What could it be?

Here's the result of carelessness when ordering microcontrollers (aka μCs, "μ" for "micro" and "C" for "controller). They, like other chips, are available in different sizes. Same silicon inside, but varying carriers. As you'd expect both the silicon and the packages have gotten smaller over the years, but the old larger packages are still available for many chips for compatibility with existing circuitry, and, well, I'm not sure why else.
So the other day I decided the prototyping of my Nixie tube watch was getting toward where I could start thinking about making some circuit boards, so I chose a suitably small form of the watch's microcontroller and ordered a few - I thought.
The chip at the top is in the classic Dual Inline Package (DIP). There's one like it wired up in my nixie watch prototype. Though fine for prototyping, this form of the chip is much too big to be used in an actual watch - even a big fat nixie watch.
The chip in the lower right is the size I meant to order - the Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC). They're reasonably small, and I've soldered them into circuits successfully before.
I goofed up, though, and the little guy below Lincoln's nose is what I ended up with: the Micro Lead Frame Package (MLF). This one is lying on its back. It's a great size for use in a watch, but much teenier than anything I've attempted to solder before. That is, I've soldered stuff that is overall no bigger than that, but this chip needs 20 separate solder joints, 5 on each edge where the little light bits are. Those are half a millimeter apart - yikes!
But you know what? I think I'll give it a try, just to see if I can pull it off. With a bit of care and solder flux, a lot of magnification, and a super-duper fine point iron tip, I bet I can get it to work.
The 4 sealed modules must be under vacuum or inert gas, here are the pipes used for filling / emptying them.
Original site of the Laboratory and factory of Federal Telegraph Company, founded in 1909 by Cyril F Elwell. Here, with two assistants, Dr. Lee De Forest, inventor of the three-element radio vacuum tube, devised in 1911 - is the first vacuum tube amplifier and oscillator. World-wide developments based on this research led to modern radio communication, television, and the electronics age.

At the top there is the spindle drive (20hp) and 3 servo drives.
On the right (with all of the blue wires) is the new PC interface, we're using a Mesa 7i77 board.
I don't have any good pictures to upload so you get this instead. It's a copper board on which I laid out connections for an electronic circuit. The visible copper was then removed to leave (under the protective black stuff) conductive traces. Eventually the board was stuffed with electronic components and crammed into a box with jacks and knobs and such. Thrilling, eh?
Long shot of the area to the right of the stage. Lots of traffic to and from the Women's restroom at this point.
The PCBs for my nixie tube clock arrived, and I even got twice as many as I ordered! Hurrah for Gold Phoenix.
At any rate after a marathon soldering session they are finally assembled and awaiting testing and programming and all that. The power supply works, and the AVR was programmable, so that's a good sign!

It would seem the plumber needs to be an expert in electronics as well as plumbing!

This is the input point of the household 220 V ac and the output of all secondary voltages.
This is the heart of the layout.
All selves can be extracted so as to have access to components.
It goes without saying that this is also hand made as well...
