- Environmental Control System:
The system inputs multiple
temperature and humidity channels, computes dew-points
and controls cooling, heating and dehumidification cycles.
Incoming data is processed, stored and used to generate
alarms to satellite ISP. Responsible for analog, digital
design, PC board fabrication, production of first generation
of system. Second generation system currently under development.
- Pool Alarm System:
The system is based on monitoring
of in-pool acoustic energy disturbances and distinguishing
between real and false alarms. A remote portable monitor is
also part of the system. Responsible for analog and
microprocessor based design, PC board layout, software
programming and prototype production of the first fifteen
systems.
- Microchip Embedded Controllers:
These projects include
CAN bus controller, steering wheel angle monitor, diver mission
watch, and oil drill-rig flow monitoring system. Responsible
for microchip processor selection, hardware design, PC board
layout, prototype fabrication, and software programming.
- Pavement and Bridge Deck Monitoring System:
This low-power
system required interfacing of load cells, strain gages,
tilt meters, automatic gain correction, and storing of data.
A telemetry system was required to superimpose distance and
time markers on the data stream. Responsible for hardware
and software design, fabrication of system, field installation,
and programming.
- FOG Control Injection System:
This system controls the inlet
water overspray injection of "FOG" into gas turbine systems. It
involves monitoring of multiple turbine parameters, computing
the wet bulb temperatures and controlling a multiple stage
water spray system. Responsible for hardware and software
architecture, fabrication of hardware, development of data
collection and processing software, and manual.
- Heat Flow Instrumentation:
This oceanographic instrument measures
and records the associated temperature changes of a multiple
thermister probe during heating and insertion into deep ocean
sediments. The data was recorded and also acoustically
transmitted to the surface. This involved 18-bit, low noise
A/D conversion, microcontroller programming, acoustic
transmitter design.
- Harmonic Analysis, Protective Device Coordination:
Development
of integrated software package for monitoring power-line transients
and harmonics for electrical testing applications.
