1984 to 1995 Crossbow Electronics Inc., Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada President - Principal Design Engineer
Designed and developed an extremely diverse set of technologies within the areas of Telecommunication, Aerospace, Power Controls, Bio-Medical, Military, Radar, Imaging, Broadcast, Process Control & Packaging and Security systems.
Designed, developed, and prototyped a Radar Digital Signal Processor/ Radar Scan Converter System, which was initially designed for military-defense applications (air, marine, and land) but also, has significant application on a commercial basis for navigational purposes. The system incorporates the capability to detect and track small targets in a high clutter environment.
Designed, developed and prototyped a new form of connector for coaxial cable which protects equipment against lightening strikes, power surges and limits the current on the center conductor.
Indal Technologies Inc., Mississauga, Ontario Designed, developed, prototyped an automated electronic vision system for the RAST Mark III helicopter landing system. The design was an IR based Electro-Optical system utilizing two CID video sensors that were hard mounted on the deck of the vessel. The system preformed image acquisition, electronic image stabilization, autonomous target detection and tracking and acquisition of the Helicopter to a resolution one inch (X, Y, Z relative to the vessel's deck) at a range of over 300 meters under adverse conditions (Sea state 5). Was awarded a plaque for engineering excellence
Comstream Corporation, a division of Spar Aerospace, San Diego, California Project 1: Satellite Communication Terminal Researched and developed a new compact Satellite Communication system for use in 'Small to Medium' sized business. The system was based on Time Domain Multiple Access (TDMA, Carrier Domain Multiple Access (CDMA), Data / Protocol conversion of both Video and Telco-lines/trunks, data compression, 'Band width on demand' and 'Hot beam support' service for up to 4096 earth stations. The system provided a 64 megabits up link and four 64 megabits down links, all hopping between carriers on a packet by packet dynamic burst plan.
Project 2: Satellite Telecommunication System Designed, developed, and prototyped a new generation of Satellite-based Wide Area Network for voice and modem data communications. Over 120 systems have been installed in Peoples Republic of China.
AC. International Inc., Toronto, Ontario Designed, developed and prototyped a way of maintaining
