Inovative new high end ultrasound system, 2011-2012 Analog aquisition and multiplexer boards. These boards provide low noise acquisition of a large number of signals at high speed, format and transmit the data to a digital control board and then to a controlling computer. The analog signal acquisition board has over 3400 parts and 16 layers with extensive plane and island design to preserve the low noise signals in a noisy digital environment. Four 676 pin BGA FPGA's provide local control. Formatted data is transmitted out at 48 Gb/sec. For more information on this new ultrasound technology see: http://delphinusmt.com/ |

Heart Sound Detection Algorithm, 2001-2003 I developed the heart sound detection algorithm used in the Inovise Audicor product. This was an extensive DSP algorithm project that involved data collection, biomedical research and sensitivity-specificity evaluation. You can view the resulting published application at the USPTO (20040267148 30Dec04 Method and System for Detection of Heart Sounds) or for a more easily digested treatment see the Inovise pdf referenced below. |

Industrial Research Test System, 2004 I can't tell you what it is (not that I don't know -it's proprietary to the customer) but it has 128 RF channels and puts out about 1.3kW of power. On this project I did much of the system design and integration as well as design and layout of the multichannel output circuit boards. This was a project co-ordinated between 7 local area engineering contractors including EE (analog, digital and RF), SW and ME disciplines. |
