Recent Projects:

1. Developed Web-based system for legal practicioners to download continuing education essays and take examinations based on the essay content. Successful completion of the exam results in an California state MCLE certificate of completion to be generated in pdf format and electronically delivered to the user. For Attorney's Briefcase. 

2. Project Management to design, develop and deploy a web-based electronic forms filing system for the California Public Utility Commission for Essential Publishers, Inc. Ninety five percent of all filings to the PUC are now accomplished through this system. Over 20,000 filings have been received by the PUC without a single failure. Although the system is available to the public, the product can be reviewed by going to the "sandbox site", http://162.15.7.13/thin/cp.exe.

3. Project Management to design, develop and deploy Vehicle and Container Tracking for truck, rail and vessel portals at ports in Long Beach, Oakland
and Portland for APS Technology.

4. Project Management to design, develop and maintain the SupporTax(tm) child and spousal support calculator used in all 56 county courts of the state of California. Wrote and maintain the calculation engine to compute state and federal taxes and resulting support amounts. For Norton Family Law Systems and Attorney's Briefcase.

5. Developed PSKMeter, a PIC microprocessor-controlled device which monitors phase shift keyed RF signals and automatically adjusts signal levels to
maximize signal intelligibility and minimize distortion. Over 1500 PSKMeters have been deployed in amateur radio stations around the world.

6. Designed and Developed RootView, a software application deployed  by The University of California Riverside to remotely and automatically control hardware to obtain 500 Gigapixel scans of subterranean microscopic images of root systems.  The user interface is Web-based allowing access to custom services running on servers that control stepping motors, imaging microscopes, LED illumination, etc. Images from these scans have already been published in scientific journals and displayed at biological conventions.  Systems are currently in operation at James Reserve in Idlywild, California and new systems are coming on line in Costa Rica and in Boulder, Colorado. 

7. Designed and Developed NGEN, software and firmware to control and monitor instrumentation for the production of neutrons to be used for medical imaging,for Adelphi Technology.

8. Developed DataLogger, a PIC controlled hand-held device that allows sensing and recording of 4 digital channels, 4 analog channels and one GPS channel to the user's flash drive. Instrument data (such as temperature, pressure, valve positiions, etc.) along with GPS data (latitude, longitude and elevation) are written to a file on the flash drive, and the data can then be easily imported into Excel for analysis and presentation. GPS data is formatted to allow it to be uploaded to Google Map and rendered in Google's mapping engine.
