We build wearable devices, home health devices, and devices for the aging, among others. My staff of engineers and I are experienced with:
- Medical devices — we have a Design Control procedure meeting FDA 21CFR 820.30 and ISO 13485:2003
- Wireless: Bluetooth, WiFi, Zigbee, cellular (CDMA, GPRS, GSM), GPS, NFC, and RFID
- Sensors like temperature, pressure, accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, strain, vision
- Sensor signal conditioning, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), and low power
- Batteries and power conservation
- FPGA and CPLD: Altera and Xilinx using Quartus, ISE, ModelSim, VHDL, and Verilog tools
- Embedded design: microprocessors (Intel, Renesas, PIC, Freescale, ARM, etc.)
- Communication such as USB, Ethernet, RS-232, and RS-485
- Software using Linux and Windows operating systems
- Microsoft C (C++, C#, and .NET), Java, and Visual Basic
- Embedded software including board support and drivers in Linux
- Motion control systems: stepper motors, servo motors, and AC motors
- Analog circuit design: low current (picoamps) and high speed (over 100 MHz)
- Power supplies, including switching regulators
- Complete product development including design, PCB layout, prototype testing, and transfer to manufacturing
- Data acquisition systems
- Test equipment
Ours is the highest quality work, done by professionals. Recent examples of our work:
- Wearable golf game tracking device
- Wearable night vision device
- Sterilizer for home dialysis
- Passive monitor for the elderly
- Stroke therapy machine including sensor signal conditioning and motion control
- Tester for heart ablation catheter
- Heart pump
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
Outstanding references available.
