Still seems to work! I'm surprised that TAL hasn't figured out this loophole yet, but I'm happy to take advantage of it!

Re: Run Comsol Simulations from Matlab

Install Comsol after installing Matlab, and be sure to check the box for Matlab integration during the Comsol install.

I dont find comsol with matlab on my machine and when i try to run the matlab code i get an error and the system dosent work ,,can you tell me the solution if i have to use matlab to run comsol ..

Re: Calculate Damping Coefficients in Matlab

Least squares - Any linear algebra or statistics textbook
Damping - I like 'Vibrations and Waves' by French, but there are thousands upon thousands of books that would talk about it, e.g. active electronic filters, dynamics ... You should be able to find a free, more in-depth explanation of frequency response and second order systems by poking around on Google Books

Hi. I am doing a research related to signal analysis. I would like to know if you have some other reference beside Wikipedia to look into damping calculation. Is there a reference regarding the least squares fit and the code you've posted here? Thanks.

Re: Asus and DVD drive firmware

This post was a month ago, but I am curious as to if the firmware cured the DVD-ROM problems? I also made a reply on the same launchpad post you reference in your post.

I have the same laptop with the same drive, but I am unable to find which firmware the drive currently has. I will try and grab the firmware you mention, and report back.

We use a syringe like this one: http://www.umecopr.com/media/medical_surgical/s..., although I don't remember where we got it. Anything that has 1 mL or 1/4 tsp marks will work though. 1/4 tsp is actually about 1.2 mL but it should be close enough if your syringe only has tsp markings.

desperatemom — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:39:35 -0000

Can you use a syringe that they give in a pharmacy for a child? The syringe I have reads 1 ml measures 1/4 tsp. If this is different, where can I get a syringe like yours?

Great shots. am going to pack at mineral king in two weeks. haven't been backpacking in 12 years, your shots helped me remember it won't all be sleeping on the rocks.
thanks.

Not sure about windows. In linux, "hdparm -i /dev/scd0" will work for most people.

Hi,

How do I find out what disc drive and firmware my laptop has?

Thank you!

There shouldn't be a line break after "jomamashouse", i.e. it should be hitting "http://audio.thisamericanlife.org/jomamashouse/ismymamashouse/389.mp3", not "http://audio.thisamericanlife.org/jomamashouse". I verified that the script still works.

Hey. I'm the author of the VPN article on Wei Cai's website. I wish I would have noticed your site before, because a couple months after you posted these vpnc steps I went through and figured them out on my own. My page has become a mess from all the Cisco client's past problems.

I've had a couple people ask me about the group password, so I'll refer them to your site. In the remote chance that someone important reads my article, I didn't post how to decrypt the password because the server is university property. They used to have it unencrypted and it didn't require a SUnet ID to download.

Gotta love Linux support...

Re: Run Comsol Simulations from Matlab

This is a great write-up. I am also trying to automate a process to solve for the max electric field around a geometry. Was the other script written to automate the process in Matlab or COMSOL?

Re: Run Comsol Simulations from Matlab

Alderson — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 14:41:49 -0000

Hi Joey: Thanks for the article. I wonder if you have some info regarding saving partial solutions in Comsol. In my case I am running a thermnal transient problem and my heat source is changing location in a very short time so I have to solve the whole system for an specific location and then update the location being the previous solution the initial conditions for the next one. At the end I only get the final result but I need to be able to save an individual result for further analysis. I hope I was clear. Thanks in advance for your help
