I once took a class with the brilliant black and white photographer Minor White. He had us perform all kinds of wonderful exercises on our photographs. At the time of the workshop (in autumn of 1971), I was spending a great deal of my life trudging around upstate New York with a tripod and large format camera making slightly abstract black and white images. My favorite Minor White exercise was his request that we draw or sketch our own photographs. This non-intuitive idea tickled me, and I got out my pen and ink and eagerly started. The first image I drew surprised me. What I seemed to see in my own close-up picture of the decaying paint on a rusty outdoor sign was a one-legged man in shorts chained to the night sky. I have absolutely no idea where that image came from. I continued to sketch what I saw in other photographs I had recently done, and the resulting drawings continue to disturb me. The same guy in shorts kept showing up, entangled in all kinds of unresolved tensions. By the tenth one, I found that I could easily get into the state of mind, or rather state of no-mind, to start drawing. The emerging theme seemed to be ?bad dreams.? I would probe myself for bad dreams, and record. By the eleventh image I found that I didn?t even need the photograph. I would just relax, try to ?see? a bad dream, and then draw.

(Cont.) Electrodes are switched through a series of steps, and each step is maintained at its prescribed voltage by a controlled synchronous rectifier, which charges the supply capacitor from a single AC secondary power coil. This novel architecture uses less than half of the power used by an aggressively designed current source stimulator with the same voltage rails, and about one-third of the power consumed by typical stimulators used for this function.

For this project, we are utilizing a combination of wind turbines and solar panels, a SolarMill, in order to feed a Level 2, 16 amps and 240 volts, electrical vehicle (EV) charging station. This will provide Cal Maritime with another form of renewable energy because Cal Maritime formerly only utilized solar panels. We designed a ballasting and electrical system to support the SolarMill and a data acquisition system to record how much green energy the charger uses. Our team collected data over a three-day period and compared that power production with power production data from the solar only grid. There were small spikes of power produced from the wind component of the SolarMill when comparing the data trends between the two systems.
