Moore and Franklin Engineering
Moore and Franklin is a division of Moore Telephone Corporation,
which was incorporated in Ontario primarily for R and D purposes.
Derek W. Moore, P.Eng was a consulting engineerwith patents in
communications and power systems. Howard Franklin, P.Eng, who
joined the company after the retirement of Ken Gentry also has
several patents and is a recognised expert in data management.
The company was established in 1974 and now owns a new 8000
square foot plant well equipped as described in the technology
profile. In the mid-1980's, in association with Moog Music in
Buffalo, we developed one of the first featurephones, the
'Operator'. Prior to this we had developed new concepts in
diagnostic and autocorrection devices for data processing loops,
airflow measurement and control systems, using a form of balanced
transistor anemometer; voting systems for councils and
conventions; peak-seeking diathermy equipment for use with low
dose chemotherapy; advanced 'voltage decrement' nicad battery
charging developments. Some of these develokments are included
in our present product range.

Serial Data Link
Serial Data Link (S.D.L.) -exported in large volume, used to
extract information from vehicular J1587 databus for use by
Tachograph or other equipment . Optional post-processing, used to
deliver mpg or L/100km. Remote readout available for dashboard
mounting, to display selectable information. Using devices may be
receive-only, which enables the SDL to be passive device which
cannot harm the databus. We seek non-US representation
Serial Data Link-j1850
Serial Data Link - J1850. This device connects a tachograph to
cars and light trucks built after 1995. The SDL plugs into the
vehicles diagnostic connector and outputs pulses suitable for
tachographs and fleet management systems.
The device may be used with any vehicle using the OBD II
diagnostic connector. It determines the vehicle type automaticaly
when it is first connected.
World's Best Hand Drier
World's Best Hand Drier: This has been three years in development
and was the immediate reason we moved into our new, large plant.
It provides a large drying-space and uses high velocity air in
two streams which are directed at each other and the resulting
extreme turbulence is very effective for drying hands, and
permits a large fraction to be drawn back and sent round again.
Numerous innovative features include separate control of fan and
heaters, which enable the fan to run for 2 seconds after heater
shut-down, preventing temperature surge. Effective defence
against vandals come from temperature limiting circuitry which
limits the maximum temperature either heater can reach, and an
over-riding upper temperature limit is provided by non-resettable
thermal switches - the temperature limiting scheme prevents these
switches operating except under extreme circumstances. We have
arranged sales representation in the US and Canada but would
welcome discussions about other markets, which could include
local manufacture.
Telephone 'bizwiz'
Telephone 'Bizwiz': This was developed to prevent a using device
from seizing a line already in use. There are competitive devices
now on the market but ours works equally well with touch-tone or
pulse dialling. Market now limited because of availability of
cheaper but more limited devices.
Voting System
Voting System: Suitable for municipal council chambers or large
company boardrooms, we have a system installed in one of the
largest cities in Canada and we are bringing out a 'catalog' to
enable prospective users to design their own system from the
book, and use local labour to install it. Typical systems cost
less than $1000 per voting member and time savings and audience
interest make this a very good investment. Because of the
catalog, we are not geographically limited and are looking for
customers worldwide. Representatives welcome and protected.
