Computers and Graphics
  • 1998 Tadpole-RDI offers Sun Ultra Spark Workstations in a notebook configuration.
    • Responsible for integrating Sun's Creator 3D Graphics card into RDI's product.
    • Implemented a 10K50 Altera EPLD to provide a digital version of a complex Brooktree RAMDAC.
    • This true 3D graphics board can generate 800x600 images at 120 frames per second providing each eye with its own image at 60 frames per second (with compatible glasses).
  • 1994-1996 Florod Corporation
    • Inventor and designer of the VP-064 Processor. used in the Automatic Inspection Machines Image Processing System.
      • The VP-064 Processor. implemented the DEC Alpha 21064 microprocessor as a single board Digital Signal Processing Computer.
      • Designed to work in parallel with other VP-064s, ultra high throughput rates can be achieved.
  • 1989-1992 Silicon Systems Technology was a design house based in Singapore with a contract from a European consortium to design an ASIC processor for a highly classified research project.
    • Architect and chief designer of the Tiger Chip.
    • Lead the 7 man design team that implemented the design using Mentor Graphic Genesel tools.
  • 1986 Hughes Aircraft Company.
    • Invented and designed the Universal Reformatter.
    • Lead the design team that delivered the Reformatter to the Image Processing Laboratory.
    • The Universal Reformatter is based on a custom built processor designed to operate an eight port global frame memory.
    • Similar to and compatible with the Electro-Optical Signal Processing Computer, the Multi-Port Global Frame Memory (MPGFM) was also intended to increase the performance of the next generation Automatic Target Recognizer.
  • 1980 Hughes Aircraft Company.
    • Part of the design team of the LANTIRN Automatic Target Recognizer.
      • Designed and delivered the prototype Electro-Optical Signal Processing Computer.
      • The EOSPC (Electro-Optical Signal Processing Computer) is the heart of the LANTIRN Automatic Target Recognizer.
      • Sixteen EOSPCs operating in parallel can identify and prioritize targets from FLIR imagery at four frames per second.
