I would like to thank again Prof. Kevin Walsh and his team at the U. of
Louisville, KY for the excellent organization and a great venue.
As a member of the UGIM Steering Committee, I would like to inform you
that representatives from Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN), Prof.
Tim Sands, Director of the Birck Nanotechnology Center, and John Weaver,
Facility Manager, accepted to organize the next symposium, UGIM 2010.
Look for further information and call for papers in about a year here on
the labnetwork list.
Until then, we will communicate, as we have been for the past 13 years,
through labnetwork at mtl.mit.edu. Do not hesitate sending questions to the
community, people involved in running university labs, and offering your
assistance if you know the answer. We all deal with similar problems;
why not help each other? Pls encourage others who are in the same boat,
to sign up.
Thank you, Prof. Duane Boning of MIT, for maintaining the labnetwork
list. Automatic sign up is at
https://www-mtl.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo.cgi/labnetwork
or by sending mail to majordomo at mtl.mit.edu with "subscribe labnetwork"
as the body, or simply mail labnetwork at mit.edu.
The old "Laboratories Subway" list of labs, is at
http://www-mtl.mit.edu/semisubway/fabs_subway.html.
It is somewhat dated; however, if you do not see your lab on it pls
write to labnetwork at mit.edu and, time permitting, your facility will
appear on it.
Finally, here is the updated list of the UGIM Steering Committee:
Dr. Greg Cibuzar, Chair (cibuzar at umn.edu)
Dr. Kevin Walsh, Past Conference Chair (walsh at louisville.edu)
Dr. Tim Sands, 2010 Conference Chair (tsands at purdue.edu)
Dr. Lynn Fuller, Honorary At Large (lffeee at rit.edu)
Dr. Rob Pierce, At Large (repemc at rit.edu)
Katalin Voros, At Large (voros at eecs.berkeley.edu)
John Wood, At Large (wood at me.unm.edu)
Sincerely
Katalin Voros

Subject: [labnetwork] Help with Dektak 6M Problem
Message-ID: <12A3F9827C9A0244B13F90CDF45EBC4904656D9D@EX01.win.csupomona.edu>
Hi all,
We have a problem with our Dektak 6M and would appreciate any suggestions.
When we try to do a scan, we get a Galil velocity error. We have been unable to get any horizontal motion, and the Galil error light comes on as soon as we start the Dektak control program. We have cleaned and reinstalled the stage per the directions in the manual. This failure happened at the first attempt to use the instrument after a recent earthquake, but we have no idea if it is actually related since the instrument itself did not move and there was no evidence of severe motion in the lab.
Thanks!
-Phyllis

Subject: [labnetwork] SEM of PDMS?
Message-ID: <45F0BB3D-3D65-41E9-B89A-55526941FA8F@nd.edu>
Greetings, all. I'm looking today for helpful hints - a client wishes
to image a sample which is primarily composed of PDMS. Anyone done
this successfully? Any concerns with regard to SEM chamber
contamination resulting from beam interaction with the PDMS?
Thanks!

Subject: [labnetwork] Compressed Air??
Message-ID: <002e01c90786$0efa5a30$10db6f82@FRANKEL>
I have a compressed air problem and am looking for suggestions:
We have a 7.5hp dry piston air compressor supplying our modest (around 3000
sq. ft.) clean room and a number of other non-clean room research labs.
Presently our average steady usage is around 8 cfm of compressed air. Our
air compressor has become unreliable and I am looking into alternatives.
Previously we had a smaller dry scroll compressor which did not stand up to
