Finally, I managed to produce our first open hardware project. The Microfluidics Controller allows us to drive 8 air pressure controllers and 8 air valves. For this we have two 4-channel Digital-to-Analog chips (MCP4728) that produce voltages from 0-5V as input for our air-pressure controllers. The air switching valves are driven using a darlington array […]
I am currently teaching a class on Advanced Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering (BME 502) at Stony Brook University and I wanted to include some basic Bayesian Analysis. I chose to go through some of the examples in “Bayesian Data Analysis” by A. Gelman, J.B. Carlin, H.S. Stern, D.B. Dunson, A.Vehtari and D.B. Rubin. Since […]
Finally, I managed to get Mathjax working in Squarespace 6. This is how it works: 1. Under Settings -> Code injection insert the following in the header: <script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML”></script> then insert the following in a code block as HTML and you will see the Mathjax rendered equation below: When \(a \ne 0\), there are […]
