The two BJTs do limit current to 20mA on all finger outputs. Voltage feedback is also set up to ensure maximum 32V. MCU protection, well just a ferrite bead.
Especially interesting for neuromorphic computing hardware. Has already been shown by IBM's TrueNorth and NorthPole chips. Tough in my opinion, a major bottleneck, is the lack of bandwidth on these chips. They can be highly parallel for their circuits, though for example image data, only 28x28 pixels, would already need 784 DACs coming from a digital source.
Often times in my opinion, those people then when they get released are a whole different person and you can learn lots from them about life and especically appreciating things we (outside) take for granted. And in my opinion such a program solves the last step after the release, and that is reintegrating.
99% of SPACs are scam. They really are, because if they weren't going public via an IPO there must be something wrong and if not they had reasons why not to go public, smarter for companies working on government projects etc.
Had the university not been funded, the PhD student and the team who came up with the idea may not have attended said university and the discovery would not have been made yet.
In addition, universities often return back much more than they are given in funding, for example, universities in the ' League of European Research Universities' such as the University of Copenhagen return five fold the investment [1].
