LABview

 * Working on the VI still
 * Trying to make an array of images
 * I think i can do it with 2 for loops, one for extracting the image, and one for displaying the pixels
 * Right now, my main problem is that I have an array of pixels (3d array) coming out of my first for loop
 * I want to eliminate the arrays that have no data in them
 * the method i'm using is array->find min/max of array->min indexes of array -> delete from array
 * I dont know how to make the delete from array work on 3d arrays though

Steve Koch 02:40, 9 June 2009 (EDT): These 3-D arrays are rectangular, so it's not a big problem...but in general, 3-D arrays can cause problems. A way to get around this is to "bundle" the 2-D array into a cluster. The cluster has only one element (the array). Then you can build a 1-D array of these clusters. In general, that makes things much easier to deal with AND, it prevents problems with a whole shitload of zeros being added when the 2-D arrays don't have the same dimensions as each other.

Laser

 * Andy is worried there is a loss of power in the fiber
 * I setup the CCD camera I used last summer to look at our green laser for him on an old computer

Kochlab Meeting

 * This afternoon will be a joint meeting with Kochlab and Susan Atlas for the DTRA/Kinesin project
 * Any interesting notes will be put here
 * We got an intro session between Kochlab and the Atlas Group
 * She had two students with her, Godwin and Vijay
 * Koch gave his DTRA talk
 * Went over what are MT and what is Kinesin
 * Also went over what we want to do
 * Motiliity assay
 * Trapped bead assay
 * Heavy water
 * mess with osmotic stresses
 * Lab tour for Atlas Group
 * Also mention of a new private wiki just for this project
