We are expert in all types of measurements. Analog circuit design, digital circuit design, and mixed signal design, as well as measurement and control software. Specializing in sensors, circuits, and software, my small staff of very senior engineers and I can design a new product rapidly that works the first time. We are experienced with:
  • FPGA and CPLD
  • Embedded design: microprocessors.
  • PC peripheral interfaces, such as PCI bus, USB, and Ethernet.
  • Serial: HDLC, I2C, SPI, JTAG, RS-232, RS-485, RS-422, Modbus, etc.
  • Wireless: Zigbee, CDMA, GPRS, GSM, GPS, and RFID.
  • Sensors such as temperature, pressure, flow, vibration, force, strain, distance, and machine vision.
  • Sensor signal conditioning and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs and DACs).
  • Analog circuit design.
  • Microsoft C (C++, C#, and .NET), Java, and Java Scripts, Visual Basic, and LabVIEW.
  • Windows drivers and DLLs
  • Embedded software using ECOS or custom operating systems.
  • Real-time embedded systems using VxWorks
  • PLCs – Allen Bradley, Mitsubishi, Automation Direct
  • Data acquisition systems
  • Motion control systems
  • Test equipment
  • Manufacturing equipment
  • Medical devices
  • Project management
  • Ours is the highest quality work, done by professionals. Recent examples of our work:

  • PCI board for a PC
  • USB interface
  • Voltage/current board for an IC tester
  • Drumstick sorter
  • Adhesive application motion control
  • Past clients: Applied Biosystems, Applied Materials, BAE Systems, Boeing, ImetRx, Intel, JDS Uniphase, Lockheed Martin, Maxon Lift, Merck, NASA Ames, Northrop Grumman, Onda, Orbital Sciences, Pioneer Speakers, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Radiant Medical, Rain Bird, San Francisco Muni, Sandia Labs, Siemens, Spectra Physics, Stanford University, Teikoku Pharma, Thoratec, Tyco Valves, US Bureau of Reclamation, University of California at Davis, and many more.

    Comments by clients:

  • “It was on time and below budget.”
  • “Excellent job”
  • “Their work is professionally done, high quality, and on time.”
  • “They worked well under pressure and cooperated well”
