Sector

Medical

Ultrasound Positioning Controller

Precision 5-axis motion system for medical imaging equipment

6 mo Hardware + Firmware

Problem

Board from another firm failed emissions testing
Five separate driver boards with custom cabling between them
Assembly was labor-intensive and expensive

Solution

Consolidated all five axes onto one 6-layer board
Real-time motor control on a TI C2000 MCU
USB-C carries both power and data

Result

0.1mm positioning accuracy
Passed radiated and conducted emissions
Passed IEC 60601 pre-compliance on the first attempt
Substantially smaller and cheaper than the original

Neonatal Biomarker Patch

Wireless wearable sensor for infant monitoring studies

4 mo Hardware + Firmware

Problem

Wearable small enough for neonatal skin
Had to survive repeated sterilization
Long runtime on a very small battery

Solution

Ultra-compact board, roughly one inch square
Multi-sensor front end with ECG and PPG
BLE SoC with aggressive sleep-mode power management

Result

24-hour continuous operation, 1-year standby
Rechargeable and reusable across sessions
Used in the client's pilot study

Sector

Industrial

GaN Motor Controller

Compact 4kW brushless motor driver

6 mo Hardware + Firmware

Problem

Existing 4kW controllers were too large for the machine
Application needed fast torque response
Acoustic noise had to come down

Solution

Gallium nitride switching for higher efficiency
Field-oriented control loop on a TI C2000 MCU
Layout optimized for thermal path and heatsink integration

Result

98% efficiency at 3kW
Smaller and lighter than the predecessor
Lower acoustic noise
Mounts directly on the motor housing

Sector

Scientific

Gravimeter Modernization

Digital upgrade for legacy gravity measurement instruments

4 mo Hardware + Firmware

Problem

Original manufacturer went out of business
Critical replacement components no longer available
Readings were manual and untagged

Solution

Internal module adding a 16-bit oversampling ADC
On-board display and expansion interface
External logger with GPS tagging and wireless links

Result

Improved noise floor and reduced drift
Extended the life of instruments due to be scrapped
Automated, GPS-tagged survey capture
