BW July 2014

I finished updating the chemical inventory, including the products in lab 405, and printed the SDS sheets and a new list of chemicals for each lab.

I helped Brendan take off the door of the dark box and remove the screws.

I helped Marco make a new bundling tool for testing fibers.

July 21: I ran tests on the fibers in the dark box to find out if the control board is burning out. I ran three tests, then Dr. Jones started a loopy routine to vary the voltage and I watched the hexadecimal numbers. There were some program crashes, however. After watching the loopy for 20 minutes, I ran three more tests before starting the loopy again. It crashed after seven minutes.

July 29: I started the day removing several stickers from fibers as we were renaming them, but we decided not to remove the stickers because of the risk of damage to the fibers. After that I held the fibers so we could bundle them.

I finished the map of lab 403 last week. Today I worked on a map for lab 405.
