			<description><![CDATA[@MFMP: I see you've started the differential test. Are you going to ramp up power as if the cell were being calibrated? It will be interesting checking out if plotting temperature/pow er curves will yield different results than calibrations. The active cell (B) should over a certain threshold show a significantly larger increase in temperatures than one would normally expect.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@MFMP: from the experiment log: As a reminder, if what you're trying to accomplish at this moment is removing trace gases from the cells, unless you apply heat during the operation, that is not going to be a very efficient process. An idea, if you want to experiment next time: you could try applying medium power (10-15W) on both wires under mild vacuum (1-2 mbar) to remove oxides and trace gases from the entire cell, then, rather low power to them (for example ~1-2W) under the most powerful vacuum you can apply (0.01 mbar, I think), to degas the wires thoroughly. It would be useful if you were able to measure wire temperature with the IR sensor and tried to adjust power so that wire temperature would not exceed 350-400 °C during high vacuum degassing.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@MFMP: if you're going to operate the cells in differential mode, putting only inert wires on one cell and only active wires on the other would allow you to use hydrogen for both cells and consequently put to rest criticisms about the different thermal conductivity of the residual gases under vacuum (or under pressurized conditions for what matters).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Ryan Hunt: if you're about to declare this a null result, could you perform a short test? Instead of applying 25W to the active wire, try applying 12.5W to both wires at the same time, if possible, so that the total would still be 25W. I'm curious to see what will be the Delta T at which T_Ext1 will settle and how it will compare to the calibration values here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AkyO8n6-0MjNdFRFem9SUE9JRWFPNEhLREQydmxoZHc&output=html]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Not much going on after almost 2 hours since the test started, at least at the current indirect power level of 25W. Temperatures might be too low and wire performance might have degraded since its first run.]]></description>
