POC

ToxRay

Function

  • To eliminate noise from the incoming signal (delivered by the sensor group)
  • To deliver a relatively clean and (usually) modular input to the actuator group

Ideas

  • Continuous to discrete (C/D) converter
  • Thresholding based on complementary mRNA competition

Current Status

  • Researching on creating/maintaining thresholds
    • Model Mechanisms:
      • cI system: Currently shelved (see Notes)
      • complementary mRNA: going to plan experiments to characterize system.
  • C/D: Still looking for appropriate proteins
    • Will discuss with actuator group to get this functioning independently of the sensor group

Device Depiction

  • Thresholding device:

  • C/D converter:

Unconceived

Issues/Questions

  • How to fine tweak system and test it independently of the sensor group (i.e. characterize the system)?

Need Help With

Nothing.. Nada..

Wishlist

  • Feedback mechanism

Notes

  • This group has secondary priority to the rest. It will gain prominence after the other devices are ready.
  • cI system has internal thresholding built into the system. We may not be able to tweak it for our own nefarious purposes.
