Some Things Your Local Librarians Would Like You To Know #2

There is a form on the website to request a book purchase. Do you have a favorite author with a book available to order or preorder? ASK US FOR IT. You will make the author and the librarians happy

in the past decade many libraries have gone fine free! Turns out we get more books back if y'all aren't afraid of fines, so check with your library if you think you have overdue fees, because it's possible those have been wiped from your record.

and if your library still has fines, don't be embarrassed to ask whether they have an amnesty period-- before we went fine-free, my library did a food drive in December that waived fines if you brought in a donation. We're generally chill about waiving fines for financial hardship too.

we definitely have a 3D printer. It is definitely lonely. You should use it. We also have one or more of the following: Cameo Cutter/Cricut machine, an engraver for metal and wood, a laser cutter for plastic and wood, a sewing machine, a serger, a soldering iron, and much much more. We spend a lot of money on these tools, please use them.

we probably have video games. Video games are expensive, please check them out so we can get money to buy more.

New to a city? Come try out a book club! We'll give you a book! Bored on a Tuesday evening? There's a craft program going and you can probably learn something new! We do clothing swaps and plant swaps, and maybe we're showing a movie you've never heard of, but if you come and give it a try, you will make a librarian's heart overflow with love.

librarians love being asked for recommendations, strange bits of knowledge, and the information you need to resolve problems in your real life. Some of my favorite asks have included things like "I need the lyrics for these songs but they're in Hindi and we don't have a Devanagari language patch", "what are your favorite poetry books", and "I have a probate battle with my s-i-l, pls find me books on probate and also on dealing with difficult ppl"

think of librarians as pro-bono information brokers, not book sellers. We love books for what they do, but we also love article and news databases, the useful parts of the internet, music, video, games, and any other medium that allows you to expand your world.

LIBRARIES

Some Things Your Local Librarians Would Like You To Know

It is not a stupid question. Even if it is a stupid question, we have been thoroughly trained to answer your question without judgement or second-guessing. Besides, we’re mostly just glad you’re not asking us about the noise the printer is making again.

There are probably (at least) two desks in the library. One is where you check out books and is mostly staffed by people wearing nametags that say “Circulation Clerk.” These people can answer your questions about damaged or missing books, fines, and how many forms of identification we’ll need if you want to get a library card but your mailing address is in Taiwan. The other one is closer to the books and computers and is mostly staffed by people wearing nametags that say “Librarian.” These people can answer your questions about spider extermination, how to rent property to the United States Postal Service, and the number of tropical island nations in which you could theoretically establish the first United States Embassy. We would love to answer these questions for you. It would be a nice change from the printer.

We probably own a 3D printer by now. 3D printers, are cool, right? Please, please come use our 3D printer, it’s so lonely.

We spent a lot of money to hire this woodworker to come and teach a class at the library which you can attend for free. You will probably be the only person between the ages of ten and fifty in attendance, but your presence will fill the librarian with an unnameable joy. They will float back to their manager in a daze. “A young person came to my program,” they will say. You will have made their entire job worthwhile.

Every time you ask us for a book, movie, or music recommendation, a baby librarian gets their first cardigan.

Somewhere in the library, there is a form. If you fill out this form with your name and library card number and the details of the thing you are looking for, we will find you the thing. Sometimes the answer is “the thing is in Great Britain and they will not send it to us,” but more often the thing will just appear on hold for you, and one day you will pick up a copy of that out-of-print book you never thought you would read and maybe you will say, “Wow, the library is amazing,” and the librarian’s heart will glow. 

Please bring back book #2. The rest of its series misses it very much.

Five dollars is not a large library fine. Believe me, before I started working in libraries, I too wondered how someone could sleep at night, knowing they owed money to the library. When we laugh as you sheepishly apologize for your $2.50 in overdue fees, we are not mocking you, we are thinking of the ten people we sent to debt collection already today.

We really don’t care why you’re checking out Fifty Shades of Grey. Maybe you have a specifically-themed ironic bachelorette party to plan. Maybe you’re working on a thesis paper about mainstream media’s depiction of female sexuality. Maybe you just got curious. We will give you the benefit of the doubt. 

Whatever you’re smoking in the family restroom, please stop.

Somewhere on the library’s website, buried under “Links” or “Research” or “On-line Resources,” is a page that a librarian spent a month’s worth of work on. It contains many links to websites you thought everyone knew about, and one to a page that you could never have imagined existed that perfectly solves a problem you never expected to be resolved. 

Imagine the kind of person who would think to themselves, “Library school sounds like a thing I should do.” For the most part, you are imagining the kind of person who is now a librarian. We want very much to help you, but we’re not entirely sure how to do that unless you ask. You are not bothering us. Please, come and say hi.

We are the best Chinese consumer PCB (circuit board manufacturer) because of our 24-hour rapid response service from our tech support and sales team. Hitech Circuits can help you with any questions about consumer PCBs. Please feel free to contact us at any time.

What Is Consumer PCB ?

Simply put, consumer PCB refers to the PCB used in consumer products like smartphones, smart TV and smart watches.

The demand for consumer PCBs has been growing ever since consumer PCBs were first introduced in the 1980s. Even small school projects or college projects use consumer PCBs nowadays.

In general, PCBs are boards on which circuit diagrams are physically implemented, so they can be used by devices easily.

As with a printer, it prints a copy of the original document or image on paper if you give it something. Likewise, the machine will print your PCB design on a board made mainly out of plastic, glass fiber, or some other materials if you upload it into it.

Most wiring is done by using a copper-coated track. Baseboards for flex PCB and rigid-flex PCB will be made from different materials to allow them to be semi- or fully flexible.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Consumer PCBs

Before you buy consumer PCBs, here are some things you need to know:

The Advantages of Consumer Printed Circuit Board

● Compact Size and Saving of Wire: The copper tracks on the PCB make it possible to interconnect the components. The copper tracks replace the current carrying wires, resulting in a less bulky interconnection, permitting the components to be very small.

● Ease of Repair and Diagnostic: On consumer PCBs, it is easier to verify and replace a particular component that has failed. In properly designed boards, the components have clear polarity labels. Thus, convenience can be assured during both the installation and repair processes. During diagnostics, signal paths can easily be traced.

● No Short Circuits: Short circuiting of the whole device is impossible thanks to the material used in the manufacturing of PCBs. When one part stops working, then you are able to replace it with another identical part. This makes it easier to keep it going without worrying about all the other components being damaged.

● Time Savings: In the conservative technique of circuit connections, the components take a long time to connect. On the other hand, As compared to conventional circuit connections, printed circuit boards take comparatively less time to assemble.

● Immune to Movement: Each component on a printed circuit board is tightly held onto the board.

They are prevented from moving on the board by the solder flux essence, regardless of how the board moves.

● Tight Connections: Copper tracks make sure that connections are made automatically. It is very unlikely that any loose connections will occur during this process.

● Low Electronic Noise: In a properly laid out printed circuit board, the noise from the electronics will be reduced. If the layout is not done properly, then there is a high chance that the noise will hinder the circuit’s performance.

On PCBs, electrical components are organized in a way so that the current path lengths between them are as less as possible.

This means that electromagnetic waves and radiation are picked up. This means that there is less crosstalk between components and between traces. This is often a concern in electronic systems. Electrical noise can come in the form of heat, radiation, or flickering sounds.

● Low Cost: With a high demand for circuits boards, large-scale production of these PCB circuits boards is guaranteed at low costs, which means you will save on both costs and time.

● Reliability: All of the above translate to reliability in the circuit’s performance.

● Streamlined Production: Before PCB prototypes are ready for use, they need to go through a lengthy testing process. This because each issue must be examined individually and dealt with by hand. An automated design check alerts the designer to potential problems during the engineering process.

This intuitive design process means that PCBs often move into production more quickly than PTP constructions because testers know what to look for.

The Disadvantages of Consumer PCBs:

● Hard Repairing Process: It is very difficult to repair a damaged PCB, especially if traces or vias have been damaged. It is best to replace the entire board rather than repair it.

● Specific Usability: There are specific reasons for designing consumer PCBs, they cannot be used for other purposes or functions. A PCB should be designed for the purpose it will be used for, otherwise it might cause problems if it’s later changed.

● Environmental Pollution: As a result of different chemicals used in PCB manufacturing that are not good for the environment, the process of manufacturing PCBs is not environmentally friendly. Consumer PCBs are not recyclable and are mainly made from plastic like materials that pollute.

● Limited Application Area: Due to copper tracks’ thinness, consumer PCBs are only capable of carrying a limited current, so PCBs are only suitable for areas with low current requirements.

Consumer PCB Prototyping

Multiple runs are often required to test new designs or to verify a single function before moving to a more complicated design. So engineers use PCB prototypes in the early stages of design to verify the functionality of a PCB-based system. Prototyping helps in predicting success and avoiding failure for the consumer PCB. Consumer PCB prototypes are easy to produce and have a quick turnaround time. You can also detect flaws quickly. Prototyping allows you to test individual components in your room. This allows for efficient project completion by providing an accurate representation of the standard PCB performance. This helps to reduce overall project costs by allowing the designer to fix flaws earlier. There is a better final product at the end of all this.

Understanding Gerber PCB Layers

Usually there are layers below in a Gerber: 

-Top silkscreen

-Top solder mask

-Top copper

-Bottom copper

-Bottom solder mask

-Bottom silkscreen

-Outline / mechanical

-Drill

-Inner copper

Top Silkscreen (GTO)

The top silkscreen Gerber file contains data to be printed, typically the white or black text on the PCB board, such as part designators, component outlines, logos, polarity indicators, etc. This layer is optional. It is totally OK to have a PCB without silkscreen if that is what you want.

Top Solder Mask (GTS)

Contains data for the protective solder mask which protects the copper. This is typically a green film but can come in a variety of colors. Solder mask layers are negative—meaning filled areas correspond to openings in the solder mask where no solder mask will be applied. These filled areas in the Gerber solder mask layer will leave copper exposed in the final product. This exposed copper is used for component attach and test access points.

Top Copper Layer (GTL)

Contains data for all areas requiring copper, including traces, pads, copper pour, vias, plated through holes, etc. All filled areas correspond to areas with copper plating.

Bottom Copper Layer (GBL)

Identical to top copper, but flipped horizontally around the y-axis. All filled areas correspond to areas with copper plating.

Bottom Solder Mask (GBS)

Identical to the top solder mask, but flipped horizontally around the y-axis. Solder mask layers are negative—meaning filled areas correspond to openings in the solder mask where no solder mask will be applied. These filled areas in the Gerber solder mask layer will leave copper exposed in the final product. This exposed copper is used for component attach and test access points.

Bottom Silkscreen (GBO)

Identical to the top silkscreen mask, but flipped horizontally around the y-axis. This layer is optional. Many single-sided PCBs will not have any silkscreen on the bottom side.

Outline (GKO) and Mechanical Layer (GML)

Contains the board outline, any cut-outs, v-cuts, panel outline, tabs, etc. Without this layer, the manufacturer does not know how to cut out the individual PCBs from the larger panels typically used in manufacturing. Mechanical elements should be included in a single outline layer to prevent some features from being missed unless it makes the outline unclear.

Drill Layer (DRL)

Contains all the drill locations and hole and via sizes. Drill files have numerous file extensions, including .txt or .drl. This layer file must not be confused with the drill drawing or drill map files. Technically not a Gerber file. Some EDA software will export separate files for plated and non-plated holes (vias). This has little meaning, and whether the holes are plated or not will depend on the copper layers.

Inner Copper Layer (GT#)

Multilayer boards may contain additional copper layers for signals or planes (ground or power) between the top and bottom copper layers. Inner plane layers may be in negative format, meaning the filled areas are areas of no copper.

PCB Stencil Gerber Files

Gerber files are also used in the manufacturing of the stencils that are used during the application of solder paste prior to component attachment. Figure 11 highlights a portion of a solder stencil. The solder stencil is aligned to the PCB and placed in direct content. The solder stencil openings are aligned to exposed copper on the surface of the PCB. The solder paste is forced through the openings by a squeegee blade on the stencil printer.

Top Paste (GTP) and Bottom Paste (GBP)

Contains data to make PCB stencils for the boards. Similar to solder mask layers, the data typically contains openings for surface mount parts only. Openings may be slightly smaller than the solder mask openings or partitioned to reduce the volume of solder paste that is applied to the pads. The bottom paste layer is identical in function to the top paste layer but is flipped horizontally around the y-axis.

Understanding Gerber layers doesn't have to be confusing. Familiarizing yourself with the names and functions of each Gerber layer in PCB manufacturing can enhance your design process and streamline communication with your board house. Hitech has professional engineers who can help you design Gerber files. Just share your idea, and we'll take care of the rest. If you have Gerber, you can send it to us for quotation. We will provide you with the best price.

Unveiling the advantages and disadvantages of Surface Mount Technology (SMT)

Introduction

Printed circuit board assembly, in particular, has significantly benefited from surface mount technology (SMT). SMT eliminates the requirement for drilled holes and manual insertion by mounting electronic components directly onto a PCB's surface. This technique offers several advantages, such as smaller and thinner PCBs, flexibility in design, reduced material costs, simplified automation, and high signal transmission capabilities.

Advantages of SMT in PCB Assembly

Ultra-Thin and Miniature PCBs

The size and weight of surface-mount components are significantly lower than their through-hole counterparts. Boards are smaller and thinner because their compactness makes better use of space on printed circuit boards. As a result, products can be designed to be more compact without compromising functionality or performance.

Flexibility

SMT provides great flexibility in terms of PCB materials and designs. It enables the use of flexible PCBs (flex PCBs) and rigid-flex PCBs that can bend or conform to specific shapes or spaces. This flexibility opens up opportunities for innovative designs while maintaining excellent electrical performance.

Lesser Expense on Materials and Cardboard

Unlike through-hole components that require manual insertion, SMD components can be automatically placed on the board using pick-and-place machines or automated assembly lines. This automation streamlines the production process, reduces labour costs, and improves efficiency.

Simplified Manufacturing Process

When compared to through-hole components, surface-mount devices (SMDs) can be automatically positioned on the board through the use of pick-and-place machines or automated assembly lines. Because of this automation, production is more streamlined, costs less to operate, and more efficient overall.

Frequency and High Signal Transmission

Fast signal transmission with less radio frequency interference is made possible using SMT components, which are compatible with high-density double-sided and multi-layer printed circuit board assembly. Additionally, SMT assemblies' lack of leads improves their resilience to vibration and guarantees dependable signal integrity.

Drawbacks of SMT for PCB Build-Up

High Initial Investment

Implementing SMT assembly requires investment in specialized equipment such as reflow ovens, solder paste screen printers, pick-and-place machines, and hot air rework stations. These machines can be costly but are essential for efficient and accurate assembly.

Difficult to Inspect

Due to the small sizes and numerous solder joints of most SMD components, inspection becomes challenging. Identifying defects or faults can be time-consuming, especially when dealing with complex packages like ball grid arrays (BGAs), where solder balls are located under the component.

Fragility

Comparing surface-mount components to their through-hole counterparts, SMD parts are more delicate and fragile. They can be easily damaged if mishandled or dropped during the manufacturing process or while in use. Special care must be taken to handle and package these components using anti-static measures in clean room environments.

Expensive Small Batch Production

Technical complexity necessitates skilled operators and specialized equipment, making prototyping or small-batch manufacture of SMT PCBs an expensive ordeal. Due to the high initial setup expenses, SMT technology may not be cost-effective for small volumes.

Limited Power Capabilities

Surface mount technology isn't suitable for all electrical components, active or passive, because of power constraints. Components generating high heat may not be suitable for surface mounting as it can cause solder melting and compromise the integrity of the connection.

Despite these challenges, SMT remains a highly recommended practice in the manufacturing industry due to its numerous benefits. It enables manufacturing efficiency, design flexibility, better performance in harsh conditions or high-frequency applications, and more compact devices without compromising functionality or performance attributes. With ongoing advancements and innovations in SMT technology aimed at addressing existing limitations and improving production processes further, we can expect to see continued growth and impact on the industry.

Nemesis Games [WIP]

“Towers of curved ceramic and steel made great piles, denser than mountains. Hair-thin wire hundreds of kilometers long stood on plastic spools taller than Filip.” (5)

“Filip shuffled down the rows of welding rigs and metal printers. Tubs of steel and ceramic dust fine than talcum. Spiral-core mounts. Layers of Kevlar and foam strike armor piled up like the biggest bed in the solar system.” (5)

“At the emergency ward, he found himself wheeled into an automated surgical bed not that different from the ones on the Rocinante.” (158)

“The passage was the usual design of inflated Mylar and titanium ribs.” (221-222)

“The curve was like the airlock on the Roci, and the design of the latch. Martian design. And more than that, Martian Navy.” (222)

"The bridge looked like the Rocinante's younger brother" (222)

“She pulled herself out of her crash couch and walked out to the common room. It was so much like the Roci’s galley that her brain kept trying to recognize it, failing, and trying again.” (262)

“Magnetic pallets locked to the decks and walls in neat rows. She wondered idly where it had all come from, and what promises had been given in exchange. She went to the nearest, plugged the array into the pallet, and popped it open. The crates unfolded.” (263)

“A toolbox in the machine shop had a bent hasp and, given a few minutes, could be forced open. The Allen wrenches inside would open the access panel on the lift wall between the crew quarters and the airlock, which was where the secondary diagnostic handset for the comm array was stored.” (304)

“While she worked, pressing the plastic into the seams, scraping out whatever had gathered there, doing it again, she tried to fit the new information into the larger scheme of things.” (306)

“When the deck was clean, she dropped the spatula into the recycler, stood, and stretched.” (307)

“In her bunk, her fingers laced behind her neck, she stared up at the blackness on the ceiling. The interface screen at her side was dead.” (311)

“The ship lurched hard, snapping the gimbals of the couches forty-five degrees to the deck.” (329)

“One bulkhead failed to open, reporting vacuum on the other side, and they had to backtrack.” (330)

“The comm array was unable to transmit either broadcast or tightbeam.” (330)

“She popped the straps loose and sat up, pulling her leg away from the needle.” (338)

“In the lift, she selected the machine shop and gripped the handholds as the mechanism dropped her down the body of the ship.” (338)

“The machine shop was empty, all the tools locked in place, but with enough tolerance that when the ship lurched, they all rattled: metal against metal like the ship itself was learning to talk.“ (338)

“She stumbled, her head crashing against the metal shelves.” (339)

“All the wrenches, epoxy welders, voltage meters, and cans of air and lubricant were strapped in place, She flipped through the close-packed layers to a line of Allen wrenches and plucked out the 10 mm.” (339)

“She gathered up a voltage tester, a wiring crimp, and a light-duty soldering iron and stuffed them in her pockets.” (339)

“She killed the lift between the crew quarters and the airlock, bracing herself so that the deceleration didn’t leave her trapped in the middle of empty air.” (340)

“The access panel was fifteen centimeters high and forty wide and opened on the major electrical routing through the center of the ship. If she cut though all the cables there with a welding torch, all the traffic would have rerouted instantly to other channels. Apart from a few warning indicators, nothing would happen.” (340)

“The screws were integral to the plate and didn’t come free, but she felt it when the metal threads lost their grip.” (340)

“Ten. The plate came free. She scooped up the handset, checking its charge. The batteries were nearly full. Connection read good.” (341)

“Channel eighteen was a comm array using the D4/L4 protocols that the Rocinante did for broadcast.” (341)

“Hand over hand, she pulled herself along the shaft and then into the corridors.” (342)

“The narrow corridors of the crew deck seemed too wide.” (344)

“The occasional ticking and popping of the expansion joins adjusting to shifts in temperature were like the knocking of ghosts.”(344)

“He undid the straps on his couch, floating forwards.” (346)

“He stopped at the med bay on the way to his quarters.” (346)

“Fred landed feetfirst on the wall, ankles hooked into the handholds like he’d been born in the Belt.”(348)

““All the bunks are the same,” Holden said. “Except mine. You can’t have mine.”" (349)

“The halls had the same anti-spalling covering that the bridge and the mess had, but marked with location codes and colored strips that would help navigate the ship. One line was deep red with HANGER BAY written in yellow Hindi, English, Bengali, Farsi, and Chinese.” (355)

“Across the corridor from Alex, Prime Minister Smith was huddled behind the lip of a doorway.” (356)

“Another burst of fire sang past, tearing long black strips from the walls and deck and filling the air with the smell of cordite.” (356)

“She drank the same version of chamomile tea that the Rocinante made, and it felt like having a secret ally.” (364)

“The mess was empty, the screens turned off and the crew set away.” (364)

“First drawer: gauze and bandages. Second drawer: one-use blood cards for maybe a hundred different field tests. Third drawer: emergency medical supplies like decompression kits, adrenaline shots, defibrillation tape.” (368)

“The medic had her sit up, the cushion of the medical table crackling under her shifting weight. The analgesic was a spray that went in Naomi’s mouth. It tasted like fake cherry and mold.” (369)

“The cabinet doors were open, spilling test cards and preloaded hypodermics across the floor.” (369)

“She fell to the side, her belly to the deck, decompression kits the size of her thumb pressing into her face as Miral writhed around to kneel on her back.” (369)

“She wanted to say something, but she couldn’t, so she just watched as Karal opened the door then closed it behind him. The lock slid closed.” (371)

“Wet with her saliva and no bigger than her thumb, it was the sort of thing any mech driver kept with her. A tiny ampoule of injectable oxygenated artificial blood and a panic button what would make an emergency medical request for an airlock to cycle.” (371)

“Fred held up the coffee cup. The name TACHI hadn’t quite worn off the side, red and black letters half-erased by use.” (381)

“The crash couch was bolted to the deck with thick steel and reinforced ceramic canted so that any direction the force came from was compression on one leg or another.” (407)

“The drawers were thinner metal, the same gauge, more or less, as the lockers. She pulled them out as far as they would open, examining the construction of the latches, the seams where the metal had been folded, searching for clues or inspiration.” (407)

“The tiny black thumb of the decompression kit, she kept tucked at her waist, ready to go if she could just find a way.” (407)

“The mirror was polished alloy built into the wall. No help there. If she could take apart the vacuum fan in the toilet...” (408)

“A simple EVA suit hung there, suspended in the null g by thin bands of elastic.” (423)

“The indicator went from green to red under her thumb.” (424)

“The airlock door closed behind him, the magnetic seals clacking.” (424)

“The lock was small enough he could put flat palms on both doors.” (424)

“Naomi thumbed the emergency override. Three options appeared: OPEN SHIP DOOR, OPEN OUTER DOOR, RETURN TO CYCLE.” (424)

“Without magnetic boots, she’d have to reach it with bare handholds, but she was close.” (426)

“She plucked the black thumb out of her belt, twisted it to expose the needle, and slammed it into her leg.” (426)

“The airlock indicator on the Chetzemoka’s skin blinked, the emergency response received, the cycle starting.” (426)

“There were handholds on the surface – some where deigned, but others were the protrusions of antennae and cameras.” (427)

“Maneuvering thrusters lit along the warship’s side, an ejection mass of superheated water glowing as it jetted out.” (427)

“And then, Mfume was gone, bolting up the ladder toward the cockpit faster than the lift would have taken him.” (431 - 432)

“Holden tapped in an order for another coffee.” (432)

“Finding Sun-yi and Gor wired into gaming googles shooting the crap out of each other in simulated battles – because as weapons techs with no one to shoot at they were getting antsy – stopped being weird and edged into sort of endearing.” (432)

“The hatch to the cockpit was closed, but Holden could still hear the wailing of the raï that Mfume liked to listen to during his shift in the pilot’s seat.” (433)

“Holden sat on the couch beside Fred’s and leaned in.” (433)

“The first disappointment was that the controls were in lockdown. She tried a few passwords – FreeNavy and Marcoisgreat and Filip – but even if she got it right, there was no reason to expect that they’d left the biometrics profiles turned off.” (448)

“The three EVA suits that remained didn’t have batteries or air bottles. The emergency rations were gone. She expected the toolboxes to be gone from the machine shop, but they’d taken out the racks that held them too, the drawers from the cabinets, the LEDs from the wall lights. The couches were all slit open, gel and padding pooled on the deck beside them. The drug delivery system and reservoirs were gone. The only water was in the drives; ejection mass to be spit out the back of the ship. The only food was the residue in the recyclers that hadn’t been processed back into anything edible. The stink of welding rigs and burning still hang in the air, so the air recycler was probably running unfiltered.” (449)

“The deck shook under her, the vibration of thrust setting up resonances that no system even tried to damp down.” (449)

“There should be a way through the machine shop. All machine shops were supposed to be connected at the back.” (449)

“The EVA suits weren’t powered and didn’t have bottles, but they had seals and reinforcement. She could take the cloth apart, and salvage some lengths of wire. Maybe something solid enough to cut with. And could she use the helmet clamps as a kind of vise grip or clamp?” (450)

“In a real ship, it would all have been protected by conduit. On this piece of crap, the wiring had all been fixed directly to the hall with a layer of yellowed silicone epoxy.” (452)

“Across the space, maybe four meters away, an indicator light went amber, and she was falling sideways. With the extra illumination, she could see the round, tree-thick body of the maneuvering thruster. She put out her arms, catching herself against a steel strut.” (452)

“Three sorties ago -- number forty-four -- she’d thought there might be a diagnostic handset. Not that should could speak into it, but she might have been able to tap out a message. But despite the fact that handsets like that were standard and required, there wasn’t one” (454)

“She scrambled down, moving from strut to strut, watching her hands and feet with every movement so she wouldn’t midjudge.” (455)

“The air in her suit didn’t feel stale or close; the carbon dioxide scrubbers worked well enough on passive that she wouldn’t feel the panic of asphyxiation. She’d just gently pass out and die.” (455)
