(...) Hi Larry, It was great to see you again at BrickFest. I appreciate your interest in my pneumatics creations. I've already had the pleasure of co-authoring with Dr. Soh, and would enjoy it again if it were to take place. I've tested the waters (...)

(...) I was only asking for the technical details and missed the ACM article bit in the original post, but I assume it refers to this ((URL) would seems a suitable home for a technical discussion about the work. That is just a guess though. Tim (19 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

(...) What exactly is an ACM article. Sorry for my ignorance--but I for one have no problem exposing it. Tommy Armstrong (URL) (19 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

(...) Oh me too! I wanted to ask but figured I might be the only one so I'm so happy you asked. I'd love to see a technical account, I'm particularly interested in the combinatorics of the problem (if any were considered too) but all of it is (...)

(...) I missed your presentation that day. How technical was it? You probably explained NP-complete briefly, and I'm guessing you didn't go into the computer science part of everything except what was necessary. I'm curious if you have a more (...)

(...) Kevin, And after you write a few articles for Brickjournal it is my hope that you would complete them in a book on pneumatics (maybe along with CS?). I spoke with others at Brickfest and they said they would buy the book and I would probably (...) (19 years ago, 24-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.events.brickfest)

I figured that if you're going to write an article for BrickJournal on pneumatic basics up through sequencers, you would probably want to talk about the simplest gates, the single output (...)

(...) "Terrific" is a pretty general response...I would add the following: 1) GBC exceeded all of our expectations as we prepared for Brickfest 2) The room was NOT large enough to accomodate the GBC or the crowd 3) I watched as many kids were simply (...)

(...) Yup. I gave a talk on the software at Brickfest, "Automated Brick Layout" I posted the slides from that talk in my brickshelf folder: (URL) Please feel free to post photos. Thank you! -dw (19 years ago, 22-Aug-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

(...) Kevin, I think "differential output" is what I really meant, though I called it "no leak" because the supply never leaks, one output or the other is always pressurised and there is never a state where both outputs leak. There is also only one (...) (19 years ago, 22-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.events.brickfest)
