Zuchini AC recharge and repair

99hvac  99ac   99zuchini  99airconditioning       JY was my assistant.

Zuchini AC recharge and repair   2012m07d01    Air conditioning

Zuchini SUV ( car truck automobile ) AC was weak or non-existent.  Was not working.
pump was cycling every 3 seconds   on -- off --- on --- off
Static pressure probably means nothing  it was 150 psi
When AC was running the pressure cycled between 40 psi and 20 psi  ( linked to pump cycling )
While running I added the can of refrigerant.  First I ran a little out to remove air from rubber tubing.
I wore safety glasses.
I did not open the penetrating valve more than a few turns.  I probably could have opened it more.
After 15 minutes the pump cycling period got longer and longer and then the pump stayed on all the time. ( AC was on )
The pressure stabilised at 45 psi when the pump was on.
The AC is now blowing cold air into the Zuchini.......

Refrigerant can got colder and colder as time went on.   I rocked the can from upright ( 12 o'clock ) to 3 o'clock position very few seconds.

99theFactory An experimental place [ 99tF ]

Quickie ..... for  99theFactory
99tF will function out of a 5000 sq-ft warehouse and a 44 acre mountain property.   The mountain property has several rough dwellings with fireplaces and propane heaters.  99tF will not be a 501C3.  It will ally itself with a 501C3 to allow tax-deductible donations.  The focus will be on FLOSS ( Open Source Activities ).  Some projects will be designed to make money to fund the many more FLOSS projects.  Educational and technological events will be a focus.  New, original, creative ideas will be the focus.  99tF will avoid establishing relationships with government agencies.  We think government is toxic.

What I want in Body computing .... the iBod

What I want in Body computing  
.... the iBod    integratedBody computing  ( Some day I will organize this post )

Wearable computing ( data storage , communication , data crunching , sensory enhancement )

Modularized hardware  ( like ProjectAra ) scattered about the body linked via a personal area network  ( PAN ) .
Efforts so far have been lame and tentative. 

What I want..
I want a personal information and control-the-world system that I wear on my body.  It would provide me with interfaces to objects I encounter as I move around in the meatspace world.  It would identify me in a secure way.  It would hold local personal data for me.  When I say it, I am not being precise.  there would be many *its*.  There would be smart agents on my wrists , on my eyes , on my ears , near my mouth, on my belt/fannypack/backpack.  These smart agents would be all over my body and they would reliably communicate with each other.  Each would do what it is best at.  For example: Smart Agent Glasses ( SAG ) would not try to monitor wrist motion.

Modules ....        pd ==> public domain   all tm listed here are public domain

Random Notes:
2014m03d30   Phonebloks.com looks like a real good idea.... I hope it gets traction.  They seem to have teamed up with Motorola ( Project Aras ).  I hope they stick with OpenIP.

===============================

Somewhere are more ideas that pre-date iBod    I will find them someday  99ibod

iBOD

#1    wear computational unit and storage unit on body iBODcomp
            has wireless ( bluetooth , 802.11n )
#2    wireless touchscreen displays can be linked to    iBODlook
               ( uses HTML5 , thin [ 1 cm or less ] ,  )
#3    headphones and microphone link to iBOD   ( bluetooth ? )
        constant audio recording, on-demand video recording ,
#4    carry power sources   iBODbat   iBODfcell   etc.
#5    pico-projector that connects wirelessly
#6    various sensors that connect wirelessly
        on-demand audio recording , video recording, G-forces ,



UI   User Interface
The user interface meal* is a result of  interacting with the user and the user indicating it's preferences.
 ( The user may be a male, female, dog , cat , or it )
The user interface design/preferences will be carried with the user and devices that the user interacts with will be modified accordingly.

Bill Fernandez


* "Where I come from the meal is the result of reflection and study. Menus are prepared in advance, timed to perfection. It is said that without the culinary arts, the crudeness of reality would be unbearable. "   The film 'Kate and Leopold'

2019
I know what my year 2019 computer will be like  ......

==  Wireless touch screens ( lots of them ) everywhere using HTML5.   Pico-projectors everywhere ( instant on-off )
== Eyeglass based displays that actually work and don't give you a headache.  Google Glasses ?
==iBOD computer that you wear on your belt, or similar.   Carries your most demanded data ( syncs encrypted data wirelessly from your home / office storage or from the cloud ) .  You control encryption, no data ever leaves your possession without being encrypted.  iBOD connects with peripherals everywhere wirelessly using HTML5.  ( Printers, picoProjectors, Displays , Touchscreens, Kiosks , Financial PODs, NAS servers , etc. )
== NFC will be used for extra security and selectivity and identification
== Body jewelry interprets body / limb motions
== Watches, wrist-displays , embedded sensors interact with human body.  Silent vibrator in jewelry.
== Lots of speaker dependent command paradigms  .. clicks, kisses, whistles, work in conjunction with eye movement, head movement, etc.   Contact microphones eliminate noise ( located in jewelry ? )
== Ability to data dump to another human I am in close proximity to ( NFC, Bluetooth, .... )

3rd party projects that might lead to iBod

Google Glasses

Project Ara        #projectARA
This is an incredible project.  It has the good, the bad and the ugly.
So much technology can be stolen from this project.

GOOD IDEA....  TOO BAD IT IS MILITARY
Military tested, ultra rugged wearable computer system gets commercial release
Military computer manufacturer Black Diamond Advanced Technology has released its ultra-rugged wearable PC and communications kit as a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) system. Adaptable to a range of specialist missions, the Modular Tactical System (MTS) system is - as the name suggests - not just a pack containing a computer. Components are split-up are and integrated into different parts of the soldier's uniform and equipment so that mobility isn't compromised, and it's designed to make the transition from computer operation to direct combat engagement in seconds.

In my opinion, the ideal format for the future personal computer will be
a small box that fits in my pocket with battery, processor, RAM, storage
and wireless communications (4G, WiFi and Bluetooth), perhaps a
simplified cellphone interface (microphone, small speaker, keypad and
simple LCD screen) if it doesn't add too much cost and bulk. Of course
it will be completely water-proof and shock resistant.

Then it will communicate with a device of my choice for user interface,
chosen from a large selection. It could be a wristwatch, tablet,
cellphone-like, etc. Those devices could be very simple, only with the
minimum of processor, RAM and interfaces for each application.

If I'm wearing only a wristwatch for interface and need a larger screen,
I could borrow a tablet-size interface from my friend and bind it
temporarily to my pocket computer. No worry about data security because
no one's data is stored in it, it is only a dumb touch-screen.

At home I will bind it to a large flat-screen, keyboard and mouse and it
will automatically back-up and synchronize with my home NAS (I don't
like this cloud idea).

I would love to brainstorm IoT ( Intornet of Things ) and also meet with you guys. Let's have some kind of get-together.

The Intornet is the combination of intranets, the cloud , peer to peer ( BT / NFC / etc. ) , master/slave ( BT / NFC / etc. ). I would like to see some frameworks that I can work with. A gateway device would be nice. Maybe a hacked RBPi or BeagleBone Black or WR703N router ( $25 ) http://www.ebay.com/c...

How about Global IoT day once per month or each two months ..... so we don't forget each other ? I would really like a structured project to work on.... is there anything at sourceforge or similar ?

I am also very interested in IntegratedlBody Computing ( iBod .... google 777iBod ) .... marry Google Glasses , smart wristwatch, cell phone , body computer, body sensors, etc. with external devices encountered during the day. Hooray

What is the IoT Council ?

Hi all,
   This is another reminder,  Chase's presentation is next Thursday.
Let others who might be interested know. I highly encourage people to
come if they can.

If you're interested in multi-touch (using two or more fingers on
touchPads) or gestures (swipe, pinch, two-finger scroll, ...) this is
the meeting to go to. Chase is one of the primary developers.

Medical tricorder contest is awesome idea...... has lousy details

 To learn about this $10 million contest   google ==> " medical tricorder contest"
here is a link  http://www.tgdaily.com/mobility-features/60757-qualcomm-wants-a-medical-tricorder

This is a spectacular concept.... it just blows me away.
Unfortunately .... the details reveal a stupid plan.  The contest is supposed to last until 2015.  I think that legitimate entries will start appearing in 3 to 6 months.  Why would anyone want to wait ?  Defining target functionality and leaving the evaluation date open ( or checking every 3 months ) is the way to go.  NO ONE CAN PREDICT ( accurately )  HOW FAST TECHNOLOGY CAN MOVE.

I hope that the following anchorites ( slowdown artists & slowdown experts ) such as the US FDA  and the Gates foundation will get out of the way.  Or maybe increase the amount of the prize. The whole point of a contest is to put incredible pressure on the contestants to be fast, cheap and innovative.  Then we will see amazing results.  Or we can mosey along slowly while spending lots of money.

The contest is funded by Qualcomm.
