Intellectual Property Development

Intellectual property does not only imply Patents, as many well-meaning business seminars and books lead small business owners to believe. Intellectual Property is:

  • your product's mechanical and electrical blue prints and drawings,
  • the products technical specifications and user manuals,
  • the product's circuit board schematics, circuitry layout, Gerber files, and films,
  • the wiring and harness diagrams used to build your product,
  • the product's development reports and test data obtained during the project,
  • the product's firmware and software source code, and
  • the products Bill of Materials.
At the completion of your project, you will receive from us the above Intellectual Property package. We provide our services in a confidential manner using Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreements to help protect your Intellectual Property.

Electronic Hardware and Software Development

Everyday new electronic hardware and devices are announced and made available on the market. There is a plethora of electronic devices available that not only vary in their capabilities and functions but also in their pricing and product age. Careful selection of devices must be made to avoid end-of-life parts. If perchance an inexperienced designer selects one of these parts for product development and when the part is discontinued, the product's viability and cost will be greatly affected due to the necessity of having to redesign the product. Our experience will help you in avoiding these costly mistakes.

Increasingly, we have become aware that investors desire start-ups and small businesses to prove that their product was designed using the most current device standards and also that the design has been reduced to its lowest possible production cost to increase its potential profitability. This poses a very daunting task especially when one is starting a business and also trying to develop a product for sale in the market. To ensure that your product is using the most up-to-date, design efficient, and cost effective devices we strive to be well versed in current cutting edge technologies, methodologies, and devices. To make this possible we employ the following for product development:
  • Microprocessors - including circuitry interface development and firmware programming for Parallax P8X32, and other microcontroller technologies
  • Digital circuits -including circuit design in association with analog circuitry and microprocessor devices
  • Analog circuits -including circuit design for signal processing, filtering and microprocessor interfacing.
  • Video/Image capture -including hardware and optical selection and circuitry design for video or still image acquisition to computer or memory
  • Sensors: - selection of devices and analog to digital methods to detect and measure external parameters
  • Process Control - the selection of components and design of methods for the control of physical processes
  • Printed circuit boards: - schematic capture, design layout, and Gerber output files for printed circuit boards
  • Software -device driver and user interface development using LabVIEWTM and other software development tools. We specialize in the use of touch screen terminal technologies and also offer small and single board computers for use in products.
Mechanical Design and Parts Development
    Repeatability and accuracy is essential for the manufacture of the parts making up your product. We use the industry standard AutoCADTM for mechanical parts design to ensure accuracy, repeatability, and portability.
Documentation Development
  • Drafting Services - Electronic schematic capture, printed circuit board layout, and mechanical parts and assemblies.
  • Technical Specifications, Testing, and User Manuals: How to test, support, and use your product.
  • Software Code Specifications and Documentation: Well documented software is essential for future changes to your product.
  • Parts List or Bills or Materials: - Complete list of parts by quantity, specifications, manufacturer, and suggested parts vendors for use in the manufacturing your product.
 Prototype Fabrication
  • We have machining capabilities in-house. For larger projects our versatile contact list of manufacturing partners can supply most any need for a project. We can also provide electronic assembly fabrication services, wiring harness assembly, and other complete prototype system assembly services.
