Deep Feature Synthesis:Towards Automating Data Science Endeavors

  • must have significant data
    • data across multiple websites
      • cross-company database
        • "3 datasets from different domains"--conclusion 
  •  of course we have a pattern of what we buy
    • we buy at certain frequencies
    • we buy for certain prices, depending on our preferences/available income/etc 
    • preferences are roughly either  luxurious or economical
      • "These questions can be turned into features by following relationships, aggregating values, and calculating new features."--calculating = estimating (in the end that's all)

Soldering


Electronics Soldering.pdf

Soldering Guide.pdf

The best way to learn soldering is by doing it on projects. Make a goal to do 10 projects in the summer. Now all you need to do is compile a list of projects. Here's what I found interesting:

DO: http://elecprojects.blogspot.com/ categorize some of these and gather supplies for 1
  1. DC power supply (converts AC to DC) Variable Voltage Power Supply
    • an inverter is the opposite
  2.  555 Timer IC Testing Circuit
  3.  Polarity cum Continuity Tester (already in DMM)
  4.  Ultrasonic Rangefinder using 8051 (make sure parts are all less than $15)
  5.  FM Bugger Circuit
  6. Other spy bugs
    1. FM
    2. Non-radio??

  7. Temperature Controlled DC Fan using Microcontroller
  8.  Car Battery Charger Circuit
  9. Mobile Jammer Circuit
  10.  TV Remote Control Jammer
  11. Password Based Door Lock System using 8051 Microcontroller
  12.  One Transistor Electronic Code Lock System
  13.  Motion Detector Circuit
  14.  Battery Level Indicator
  15.  Sun Tracking Solar Panel
  16. Metal Detector Circuit
  17. Car Parking Guard Circuit Using Infrared Sensor
  18.  Reverse Parking Sensor Circuit
  19.  8 Channel Quiz Buzzer Circuit using Microcontroller
  20.  Automatic Plant Irrigation System
  21. Wire Loop Breaking Alarm
  22. Cell Phone Detector
  23.  Transistor Intercom Circuit
  24.  Interfacing GPS with 8051 Microcontroller
  25.  Auto Turnoff Soldering Iron Circuit
  26.  Pull Pin Security Alarm System
  27.  Metal Detector Robotic Vehicle
  28.  Wireless Switch Circuit using CD4027
  29.  Automatic Street Light Controller Circuit Using Relays and LDR
  30.  12v DC to 220v AC Converter Circuit
  31.  12V to 24V DC Converter Circuit
  32.  Audio Equalizer Circuit
  33.  Toy Organ using 555 Timer IC
  34.  FM Radio Circuit
  35.  FM Remote Encoder/Decoder Circuit
  36.  Biometric Attendance System
  37. J? 
    Air Flow Detector Circuit
  38.  Stun Gun Circuit
  39.  Battery Charger Circuit Using SCR
    • Don't know what kind of batteries this can charge
      • aside, F1 = fuse
  40. How would it know what appliances to control?
Hoax?Mosquito Repellent Circuit
 Mains Operated LED Light Circuit
 RFID based Attendance System
