Accelerate Your Medical Device into a Manufactured Product
CAMERAS, SENSORS & ILLUMINATION
Over 20 years of Experience Building Imaging and non-Imaging Cameras, Sensors, and Spectroscopic Instruments for Multiple Applications
PROJECT
3D Robotic Visualization System
CHALLENGE
Develop a wide FOV, illuminated, low-latency, 3D-1080p HD camera in a package hardened for re-sterilization
ACCELERATE
Prototyped and iterated before final commitment to optimizing a glass-element lens design. Isolated FPGA and LED heat sources from effecting Omnivision sensor performance.
RESULT
Manufacturing line developed to assemble, align, and test units.
PROJECT
Hyperspectral Camera
CHALLENGE
Build a Line-Scan Split-Offner Hyperspectral Camera for airborne high altitude military drone.
ACCELERATE
Optimized the optical prescription with Zemax ray-tracing program. Analized stray light with Trace-Pro ray tracing program for further guidance into the optomechanical design. Developed an alignment process. Hardened the mechanical design and fabricated with expedited hardware.
RESULT
Successfully tested units for delivery on schedule and budget overcoming vendor delays in the opto-electonic components.
PROJECT
Retinal Camera
CHALLENGE
Produce a portable Retinal Camera with wide FOV for use without patient dilation.
ACCELERATE
Developed a 3 sensor, multi- illumination source, rapid auto-focus, multi-DOF alignment optomechanical system.
RESULT
Built a working handheld prototype that reduced to practice the concept which was awarded a patent.
PROJECT
ICG Fluorescence Imaging
CHALLENGE
Assess the suitability of available components for 3D visualization system.
ACCELERATE
Reviewed sensors and architectures for both sensing and excitation illumination within eye safety limits.
RESULT
Reported on available components that could be incorporated into a cost-effective system that could be rapidly developed.
Jay and I have worked together on several projects spanning a variety of medical products. Technologies have had demanding complexity involving optical and electromechanical components that need to be carefully orchestrated together with fine attention to detail. They met and exceeded my expectations resulting in an accelerated and successful program.
