Lab Outage: March 27-28th

Users,

Southern California Edison will be shutting off the power to the entire campus on Thursday March 27th for maintenance. To support this, we will be shutting down the lab at 4pm on Thursday 3/27 and starting back up when power is restored sometime Friday 3/28 afternoon.

I will send out an update when the power has been restored, and the lab is ready for use.

Thank you, Peder Lenvik // Demis D. John 17:34, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

New Gowns: Toolbelts purchases

We are required to switch to new gowns in January. The new gowns won’t have pockets, but you are allowed to purchase cleanroom tool belts. Please ask staff for which tool belts you can purchase.

Two vendors for cleanroom belts we are using are listed here, you may request others:

• Uniform Technology Tool Belt - note the waist size, the 49” belt fits up to ~36-38” waist.
• HiTEC Fannypack

Suss SB6-8E

We found a blown resistor (and a questionable op amp) on one of the boards that contains the z-axis motor circuit. However, we still cannot get the tool to initialize. Next we will try swapping out the hard drive again and run some more tests.

I will send out an update once we have one. -Aidan // Demis D. John 00:35, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

The board we were waiting on arrived, but it did not resolve the tool issue. We are working with Panasonic on the next steps. //Vraj Mehalana 14:17, 1 March 2024 (PST)
