Helping You Make Technology Work

Services Offered and Skill Sets

Test, Analysis, & Design Services

Prototype and integrate Audio and Video effects,
Power Supplies, Radio Frequency and Infrared Remote Controls,
Programmable Logic Controllers, solid state relays,
electrical systems, and computer interfaces
Develop procedures and devices for harsh industrial environments
dealing with vibration and large temperature swings on
delicate electro-optical sensors expected to work
in saw mills, oil fields, and commercial food processing lines


Consistency

Reduced the variability on measurement from 20% down to 0.5%
by isolating multiple interacting
optical, electronic, mechanical, thermal, and sensor variables
The production sensor system became more marketable
leading to new applications and increasing market share


Flexibility

While working with Infrared (invisible) beam paths
Researched the equations 
Developed a computer simulation in C, 
Built a test jig to validate field observations


Golden Ears

Mixed more than 1,000 shows
Multitrack recording


Troubleshooting

Resolved an issue for a sensor modified with new thermal controls
Reviewed the analog linear power supply
Identified a missing wire due to crease on a folded drawing
Updated the Manufacturing, Assembly, & Field Repairs procedures


Customer Support

Strive to resolve issues on the first pass
Document the issues
Make myself available to my customers


Organization

Information is essential for any research activity
Maintain a technical library 
Makes sure resources are organized to support research
Reorganized technical libraries and inventories for multiple companies
Knowledgeable about CRM and databases
Reduced component search time from hours to just a few minutes
