At present the Certification database lists over 2,800 particular person certifications! In August we added 21 new certifications, from moveable incubators to radiation dosimeters to hydraulic presses for distributed plastic recycling, and the whole lot in between. Listed below are three new certifications from around the globe that we expect you need to try at this time.

OpenDosimeter UID SE000023
The Open Dosimeter venture is a low-cost totally open-source real-time radiation publicity dosimeter that gives fast publicity suggestions plus cumulative dose info for healthcare employees. The dosimeter makes use of a LYSO scintillator coupled with a silicon photomultiplier to detect high-energy radiation, and may be calibrated by inserting it close to a standard family ionizing smoke detector. This venture features a 3D-printed case, {hardware}, software program and construct documentation. OpenDosimeter was created by a multidisciplinary and worldwide workforce of contributors, with funding help from the King Middle on World Improvement at Stanford College, and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Basis.
Chilly and Sizzling Scientific Sheet Press UID CA000055
Many financial disincentives are stopping the recycling of plastic, together with the prices of storage and transportation. Distributed native recycling utilizing cost-effective gear offers a brand new choice to extend recycling charges by permitting plastics to be re-processed into new items on the level of assortment. This venture creates a lower-cost hot and cold press that can be utilized with customized molds to create new high-value merchandise from native plastic waste. The venture contains open supply {hardware}, software program, and in depth meeting documentation.
