While helping Jiale with the preliminary testing, I suggested borrowing some triax components from the Cascade that were, IMHO, extra and not in use (there are 14 other ones there). I don't think this would have caused any inconvenience, but it is still wrong to have borrowed them without explicit permission. I will see to it that all borrowed parts are returned.

There's a new probe station donated by Motorala in the cascade room which behind the R&K station. Prof. Philip Wong ask Jiale Liang and I to setup this new probe station. Since Jiale and I are all fresh rookies to the whole installation, we asked opinions of Nishant, Albert and Gaurav. To be begin with, Gaurav gave an idea that to test the functionality and electricity connectivity of manipulators on the new station first. Because the manipulators are lack of cables (minitraix), Gaurav said we could take the cables from cascade. In that case, we thought we had the permission to borrow some cables from cascade. So this week we borrowed the new 4155 SPA from Soogine and test the functionality. It is true that we didn't return the cable back as soon as we finished the testing on Thursday but we thought the cascade maintenance group know the whole situation here. However, it's our fault that we didn't submit a valid official report to the whole cascade group and professors. We have returned the cables back to cascade this morning and ordered new cables online and such thing won't happen again.

While they only need 2, I try to keep 4 of them in there .... and also used to maintain 4 extras in my office. Now, all but one of the 8 are missing. In the past, on more than one occasion, I've found that several of them have migrated from the public testing equipment in Allen 151 to the private equipment in Allen 152A. If anyone has any of these, I'd appreciate their return. I'm sure that you'll agree that keeping additional folks off of the private testing equipment is important to keeping them in good functional order. One means of doing that is insuring that the public-accessible testing equipment in Allen 151 is fully functional.

You should ALWAYS end at 41C to prevent the chiller from turning on. You can use "T1" or "T2" to set it to 41C. If you're unsure, here is a brief version of the instructions. BEFORE you start the measurements : 1. Load your samples. 2. Purge chamber with N2 for 30 min. It can be 10 min if the system has been used in the last 6 hours. 3. Turn on temperature controller. AFTER you are done with your measurements: 1. Set the temperature to 110C. 2. Wait ~10min for the temperature to reach 110C, then leave it there for another 10 min. 3. Set the temperature to 41C, and keep it there for 10 min. 4. Unload your samples, and keep N2 flowing.
