It actually has been a good year for research and development here at the Atlantis Tech Center. I full well expect for this to continue.
Today I began beta testing a new PC based data recorder system and software that I intend to use with my new Pico detector technology. I intend for this to be a data acquisition and analysis system suitable to research any pico scale electrical activity.
I have also began considerations into the acquisition of an electron beam lithograph. These are fascinating machines whose precision allows the manufacture of semiconductor devices down to the nano scale. I think it would best suit my purposes to make my own and I already possess a suitable vacuum shell. All that remains to be done is some simple electronics design and PC software. Such machines have a market value from US$4,000,000.00 to $6,000,000.00.
I intend to spend the rest of the winter writing software. A current fascination is the concept of docking multiple applications together thus fusing their operational characteristics and data streams. Such a concept should prove useful in research and instrumentation software.
