EXPERIENCE
Cybernetics; Lynchburg, Virginia:
1979 to present
Responsible for
development of computer peripherals, including hardware and software, that
allow for real-time scientific data acquisition and control as applied to
a variety of special needs for many large corporations.
Carbone of America;
Farmville, Virginia: 1995 to present
Developed high
speed closed loop computer welding system for high current welding of for
Ford Motor Company. This automated system produced 6 sigma quality fuel
pumps for Ford. The system further produced a log all important data of
each weld. The system could be monitored from any where in the world with
a windows PC and correct security input.
·
Developed smart closed loop
feedback system which controlled high speed hydrogen and oxygen soldering
systems. The computer-based system controlled both the hydrogen and
oxygen separately based on data from infrared pyrometer and
thermocouples. This process included the development of the mathematics
that made the system work.
·
Developed a network based
visual inspection system which captured real-time visual imagery of the
products in various stages of manufacture and distributed the images to a
server on the network.
·
Developed the program to
view the visual data anywhere on the network.
·
Installed a NT 4.0 primary
domain network to accomplish the above.
Courtaulds Performance Films;
Martinsville, Virginia: 1996 to present
·
Developed a computer system which computes and monitors film impedance for
sputtering machines. This system replaced an earlier analog system. A
complex sweep frequency with tracking filters and true RMS integration was
used on the analog side of the system. Complex mathematical processes are
used on computer side which further refine the data and deduce both linear
and ohms square impedance of the film. The actual measurement takes place
in an extremely hostile EMF environment.
Super Collider Super Conductor: 1992-1993
·
Worked with Babcock & Wilcox
and Westinghouse Corporation to design, develop, and manufacture the
electronics to monitor and control the super conducting magnets for the
super collider super conductor.
·
Worked extensively with
Fermi Lab, Brookhaven Lab, and major universities to design the system. It
was applied to 3 types of magnets: dipole, focus, and accelerator. The
system supplied the power to the magnets, monitored the voltage and
current conditions of the magnets, and monitored the temperature of the
system. The system interfaced with multiple computer systems from Hewlitt
Packard, Sun Systems, Allen Bradley, and IBM.
·
Designed all of the analog
electronics and much of the digital electronics for the above system.
Designs were both Euro frame standard bus and Allen Bradley.
IBM Corporation: 1983 to 1990
Manufactured computer
peripherals for IBM PCs.
·
Designed the IBM Personal
Science Lab

Entry Systems Division: Boca Raton, Florida
Special Education Division: Rockville, Maryland
Education Systems Division: Atlanta, Georgia
Information Systems Group: Boulder, Colorado
·
Functioned as record
engineer for design engineer and manufacturing..
Atari, Inc.: Sunnyvale, California
·
Worked with the founders as
an independent consultant in designing hardware and software for
implementation of high tech games.
·
Designed and licensed game
controllers and controller drivers and games.
Cybernetic Medical: Lynchburg,
Virginia: 1973-1979
·
Responsible for all aspects
of the development of the company in the microcomputer instrument field.
Did the very early work in developing data-taking computer peripherals.
·
Researched and developed
special equipment for individual and medical biophysical monitoring.
·
Worked extensively with
University of Virginia, Emory, and various rehabilitation centers in setting up biophysical
measurement labs.
Design and
developed classified projects for the US Coast Guard under a government
contract. Designed a radio controlled device to gather and disseminate
information.
