Hi, I'm a couple of days in SF and would love to try out waymo cabs. I downloaded the app and now it wants an invite code. Is there a way to get one (in a reasonable time frame)?

Hi, we are working on a novel method to measure blood glucose non-invasively (see: diamontech.com). We are using a new kind of tunable laser (quantum-cascade-laser) to specifically heat up glucose molecules in the skin. We have a working prototype and start miniaturizing the whole system right now.

In order to expedite testing of different hypothesis we'd like to simulate our whole system with all its components (optics, electronics, thermal, mechanical, in best case even sample/skin) and I was wondering what is the best approach. Commercial simulation software like Zemax, Matlab/Simulink, Solidworks seem to focus on only one subset and it's complicated to string them together. Then there are some python-libs of different quality levels to support simulations. And I found modelica, which seems to be a good candidate, but I don't know anybody who has actually used it.

Are there any best practices? Any advice?

Thanks, Thorsten

Hi,

I recently switched to a hardware company and we are working on a medical device. We need a nice, touch-based user interface on a 5"-10" inch display. Some math calculations in the background, but no realtime stuff. I am an experienced developer on different platforms but I never programmed an embedded device.

What is the mainstream OS on embedded devices right now? Linux, Android, Win 7 Embedded? What about Windows 10 IOT?

What is a good setup? Rasberry Pi + official touch screen? Are there medical grade devices out there (doesn't matter if it is expensive)?

What about developer tools? Okay, Visual Studio for windows? But what about the other platforms? Still C?

You see, I'm pretty clueless, so any help is much appreciated!

Thanks.
