The coating processes are incredibly difficult, time consuming, and expensive. You are going to need an approximate budget of ~$1000 and knowledge pertaining to the specific coating material. There's multiple potential coatings available, each with advantages and disadvantages with varying levels of difficulty in the…

You can't just implant a Ni-Cu-Ni coated magnet, as nickel does invoke an immune response ultimately resulting in rejection. Look into parylene, TiN, bioglass, Ti, and other resins used for medical implantation coatings that are "biocompatible" or immunologically inert. I'll edit this comment soon with some links and other…

This is interesting but I am concerned about a decrease in reading distance
-
I'm really curious about what you use each RFID for. Are some of them NFC's?
-
In that case, you have nothing to be concerned of. Happy implanting

Get in contact with Cassox, see if he has any new batches on the way. To make it easier, @Cassox

The question of "too deep" is relative. If it is interfering with muscles or tendons, then it's too deep. If it can't be easily read by a reader places right above the incision site, then it's too deep. If it's readable, your hand isn't restricted or painful, then don't worry about it not being visible. Personally I would…

You have a valid point, and I don't disagree. As far as I can see nobody would be overriding mods other than the mods themselves, but the size of the bureaucracy should be limited.
-
That is literally networking, you can't pretend like that system doesn't function entirely on staff members promoting friends as that's obviously who they would trust. It already is a formal process, and in instances that directly effect safety and the quality of science that our entire community is based on a bureaucracy…

I'm happy to help with whatever you need, just let me know. I have a few ideas i'm working on that may significantly help this forum in a couple ways, i'll pm you the details later and you can give me your input on whether the features are worth further development. I understand what you're saying, but that system is…

Is this even still a work in progress? It's nearly been three years, i'm not sure we can count on this one being completed...

The lens in which we explore the physical world is by touch, simply a sense of movement. The parts you use frequently to interact with the physical world have evolved over a long time and generations of organisms repeating the act refines the process. The parts you use more frequently like the feet, hands, tongue, and ear…

I apologize about the fact i'm about to come off brash, but I think it's necessary. People on this forum need to understand the scientific method and the mechanisms that the scientific community uses to research, identify a mechanism, test the mechanism, adjust variables, and finally identify an end result that shows the…

This is far more dangerous than you likely realize, as this is a non inert (biocompatible) transdermal implant. Just because it isn't in the blood doesn't mean there isn't potential for biotoxicity or an immune response, particularly in transdermal implants. In the VERY short term there won't be any major side effects, or…
-
Have you removed it yet? It's certainly rejected and leaving it in is only putting a lot of strain on your immune system and etc. The poisoning you can get from this isn't a joke, if I remember correctly it can seriously affect your kidney, liver, blood, and formation of neurons in the long term.
-
I wouldn't mind having a piece of this action, and I would be happy to do some extensive testing on it.
-
How many mm's below the surface would you estimate it to be? My apologies if this is redundant but how long ago was the procedure done so I can get an idea of nerve regrowth?
-
That is likely why you've reported a lack of sensation, your nerve bundles decrease largely the farther down in mm you go on the pad of your finger. If you had to estimate how many mm's down did you implant?
-
That's a fascinating idea, what compound are you using to induce phosphorescence?
-
That's an impressive procedure, good job.> @dieselpwr said: Can you upload microscopic pictures of one of the magnets coatings you believe is entirely intact so we can give some insight? You need to be careful about even holes that are half a micron in diameter, and those are very difficult to see even with a good…
-
That is a very short period of time to test the magnet in the solution and SMM magnets have already been proven to have a high failure rate. I'm really sorry, but for your safety I recommend removing the magnet you already implanted and retesting the magnets for a much longer period of time. What percentage of salt was in…
-
Wait was that accusation meant for me? My apologies for trying to make sure implants are done on sound, safe science. I've personally spoken with representatives at SMM, and i've been told they do have layers underneath. Contact them yourself instead of relying on other, potentially inaccurate, information. Would my links…
-
To be honest the method you used to determine if the coating was sound isn't effective. The bulging is likely from your body pushing out the NdFeB, and depending on how deep you put the magnet you may see small black "bubbles." I'd recommend removing the magnet and testing it adequately, as it likely has already failed. If…
-
Did you ask them if they were going to use a coating under the TiN? They frequently do for structure support and because many manufacturers buy precoated magnets. Please refer to my comment in the "magnet status" thread, it relates to this subject
-
You're correct Cassox, titanium coatings are difficult for many reasons excluding the manufacturing process with one serious consideration being galvanic corrosion. The bi-metal corrosion/galvanic corrosion can be reduced depending on the metals used, but if there is a strong anodic metal in contact with Ti or TiN which is…
-
What have you done to test the efficacy of the bio-compatible coating?
-
That is definitely odd circumstance
-
It certainly seems like one hell of a coincidence given his age
-
If you list some questions or give more information regarding what you need I may be able to answer a few questions
-
I'm certainly interested, where's the link to the request form?
