    Neural network discussion

    The one thing about the memristor I found appealing for using it in this application was that small defects would change the properties of some of them. These imperfections are desirable to somewhat emulate biological counterparts. I have come across the 6/8/12 dip packages for the arrays. But...

    Neural network discussion

    I did find a few hits on the custom Google search available by the site, but i did not in the site search. Either way, does anyone think the idea would work how I believe it would?

    Neural network discussion

    Hey everyone, I had an idea for a hardware neural network. Upon searching the site for memristor there were no results. I wanted to run the idea by someone more knowledgeable to see if the circuit would work. The basic premise is a modular circuit consisting of a single memristor output...

    Tight dimension alloy

    I ended up receiving samples of zirconia hardened alumina, and yittria stabilized cubic Zr. I do like the idea of the carbon fiber wrap actually, but I would have to epoxy, or resin it, and I do not like the feel of resin jewelry, and its a PITA to polish if the cast is out of dimension. I...

    Tight dimension alloy

    I will check out those sites. I did email coorstek. Professional companies don't like small batch project hobby/inventors with no parent company :p What about other materials? I heard inconel would be strong enough at half a millimeter.but, its mostly nickel. Maybe spring steel? Or a titanium...

    Tight dimension alloy

    Okay. So I wanted to start off with a solid piece of material, and machine a pocket just big enough to enclose some leds, capacitors, resistors an IC, and power source. Around that will be a wall of material, as thin as possible. Then, a secondary piece to enclose the electronics, and two walls...

    Tight dimension alloy

    ceramics do sound like a good road to go down, but i read i would have to sinter them into the shape, rather than machine them. and i dont know of anyone that does hobby quantity custom sintering one-offs :( plus,i dont know if they would be strong enough to not break like a hematite ring when i...

    Tight dimension alloy

    Does anyone know or have suggestions on which alloy would be best for machining tight dimensions, less than 1mm wall thickness, with no nickel, and is the hardest I can get. The application is a hollow ring that will contain electronic components. So I really need a hardness that will last, and...
