I'd use a MSP430 flash micro with LCD controller and boost the single cell to 3V with an external converter or use two cells. Battery life probably won't be as good, even so.

But there's hardly anything of significance these days that doesn't involve electronics. You can hardly imagine a scientific experiment any more that doesn't use electronics and computers to manage the experiment and gather the data.
Thats the fascinating part - to be able to think laterally enough to do something like this, and come up with a design cheap enough to mass produce for the domestic consumer market. The weird thing is, you will probably be remembered for this consumer toy rather than the more interesting and useful esoteric stuff - BTW, had no idea you designed the 1488/1489 - thank you for a useful chipset.
Yeah, and electronic design is only a skill set - a tool. Without some other kind of qualifications, you're not likely to end up being the boffin determining how it's to be used.
At least I didn't wake up this morning with the urge to preach hell-fire, damnation and paranoia. Tomorrow, who knows. There, but for news2020, go us all.
I suspect that the little gadget will sell. I know vendors at the state fair that rake in big bucks on total crap merchandise. Anyone that uses those plug-ins might upgrade. I'm assuming the timed release of the scent as opposed to constant exposure to heat and air would be economic. 6 mo service life and only one cell, you said? That's good IMO. See? Even I could sell those things and that's only
2 selling points :)
I know people that will buy damned near any gadget they see.
Don't take me to a tool store, electronic store, etc. I'm like a kid in a candy store.
You can possibly manipulate that model to suit your needs.
You could also make an idealized behaviorally-modeled Schmitt trigger.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
The advantage is that it actually **atomizes**, which allows much better dispersal than the heated varieties, which tend to have "hot spots" of odor :-(

you are biased and you currently assume (i.e. you are biased by an currently source) that this research had stg to do with electronics or systems. This was a Phd study for the title of doctor in medicine. I used the word "detector" loosely. I was talking about a clinical procedure to look for non-obvious and non-expressed signs of pain, rather than actual sensor equipment (as in thermocouple, Hall probe ...). When you know a way to look for a set metabolic manifestations that have been empirically related to pain, you can do that with conventional equipment and you do not need to undertand how the brain or neural nets function. It would be rather annoying if a physician refused to serve your prescription of penicillin under the pretext that he doesn t understand fully an down to molecular/quantum level the interactions between host and germs.
If you (please) restrict the discussion to those premature foetuses that are 7 month and older. Do you or don t you find that this research had better been used to rationalise the prescription of pain drugs in hospitals rather than efficiency of slaughterhouses ?
We are all biased in general, but as far as scientific based, not a chance. My opinions are based on simple and verifiable axioms.

Oh...
This is not possible in principle. Tell me how a cat tells us that it is feeling pain.
How the neural nets function is completely irrelevant. What maters is
*proving* that certain signals are directly related to a conscious emotion.
You simply don't understand the issues involved. As I explained, it is impossible to form a definition of pain, irrespective of what may or may not physically causes it. There us no way to distinguish a well programmed non conscious computer from a conscious individual. That is, a machine can be made that to all intents and purposes duplicates the output from a conscious individual, e.g. one feeling pain. Since this duplicate machine can say, "I feel pain", there is no way of knowing if in fact it does. Therefore the whole concept of a pain detector is completely bogus. It is not possible, in principle. e.g.

Irrelevant as there is no way to prove that such a machine can in reality detect the pain of foetuses. What to you propose the featus do, "oh, I say, that hurts". Get real dude.

I am designing a circuit in Cadence using spectre but I want to simulate an extermal power mos which model is not included in the foundry kit (obviously). The mosfet is the irf3315 and the only model I have found is a very simple model to be used in pspice. This model could be enough for these first step simulations but I am not familiar with model conversions and there are some lines I do not know how to translate:
If anyone could give me a hand with the meaning or translation of this lines it would be fantastic. A model suitable for spectre would be even better but I think it is impossible.
