    Ep 271: Audio Delay in a Hose, Ribbon Cable Repair, and DIY Hacker Metrology

    Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Al Williams discuss a software bug in Tandem Diabetes Care's T:Link app that caused insulin pumps to drain batteries and trigger a recall, highlighting the critical need for robust error handling in medical devices. They explore creative audio hacks, including a garden hose delay line and historical mercury delay lines, alongside a Z80 computer built on perfboard and a ribbon cable repair using a vinyl cutter. The episode also covers adaptive technology, such as a 3D-printed assistive knife handle and a vibrating Braille display, while emphasizing the value of DIY metrology and open-source hardware access.

    121. Power Up Your Wearable Devices with Blood Sugar!

    Hosts Daniel and Forbode discuss a breakthrough from ETH Zurich researchers, led by Dr. Martin, who have developed an implantable, self-powering insulin pump for Type 1 diabetes. The system uses a metabolic biofuel cell to convert excess blood glucose into electricity, which then activates synthetic beta cells to produce insulin, creating a closed-loop, biomimetic regulatory system. The hosts highlight the potential to eliminate the need for external battery replacements in current medical devices.

    144. Implantable Chip To Cure Diabetes

    Hosts Daniel and Forbode discuss an MIT team's development of a tiny, implantable device designed to cure type one diabetes by replacing damaged islet cells with living human cells that produce insulin. The device utilizes a proton exchange membrane to extract oxygen from body water vapor, powered by wireless charging via resonant inductive coupling, effectively creating a self-sustaining artificial organ. The hosts analyze the engineering challenges, such as immune rejection and oxygen supply, and speculate on future miniaturization and hybrid power sources using glucose metabolism.
