PAPNET, Neuromedical Systems Inc. - Design
of the prototype PAPNET Cytological Screening System. Aside from the
technical innovations, the project was significant for design was implementation from rough notes sans formal
specifications, and prototype status was achieved within six
months trade show usage. The
Aspex PIPE image processor was integrated with a computer controlled
microscope and an
HNC neural network coprocessor to create a system that automatically
identified areas on microscope slides of pap smears as suspicious for
cancer cells. Responsible for primary image processing and machine
vision design, overall system design and project management of a staff
of 10 programmers and technicians. Got initial proof of concept
functioning in less than six months. Partly as a result of this work,
NSI ultimately raised investments of approximately $135,000,000.
Two US patents issued from this effort. Patents and all
IP are now owned by Tripath Imaging of Burlington, NC.
Tytem, Medical Laboratory Automation
Inc. (MLA) - Overall architecture and electronic hardware design for Tytem, an
8085 microprocessor controlled blood bank centrifuge. It included an
embedded 8085 processor that controlled the speed, user keypad, and
display LED's. Also designed the SCR motor speed controller. This
project taken from proposal to production. MLA produced over 1000 of this
product under contract to Ortho Pharmaceuticals.
MedAcoustics, Incorporated - Build and debug of
a
24-bit data acquisition
system to detect the acoustic signature of turbulent blood flow
associated with
coronary artery disease. Designed
multiple printed circuit boards including a power control module based
on a PIC
microcontroller. Responsible for a
myriad of system integration, user acceptance, manufacturing, and
compliance
issues.
