• If you have an instrument or product that must respond accurately to the physical properties of some device that has a nonlinear or semi-linear output, then it may be desirable or necessary to convert this data to a form that produces an accurate output that you can reliably use in your product. This data may also be affected by temperature, pressure or some other environmental factor that needs to be accounted for.  This means that you need an algorithm built into your product.

• A mathematical algorithm may be implemented in digital or analog form. The choice is an engineering decision based on cost, speed of execution, time to develop and other factors.  I have performed both types of designs many times, with exactitude.

• Band-Pass amplifiers.

• Your millionth unit performs the same as your first.

• Reliable designs developed for your intended customer in his environment, with consideration for functionality and ease of use.

• I can provide test procedures for your manufacturing, incoming and outgoing inspection.  My designs have no secrets from you, so your own test engineers can develop test procedures if you prefer.  You get full documentation.

• Experienced in designs for "Off Shore Manufacture" in addition to domestic manufacture.

• Designs for automated testing.

• Designs that take into account the strengths and weaknesses of your manufacturing process.

• Industrial experience working with marketing, sales, industrial design, and production to develop products that are attractive to to the customer and profitable for the manufacturer.

• Expeditious methods and personal concern bring your product to market quickly.

• My library of vendor and technical resources minimize the time spent searching for information needed to complete your project.

• Computer generated documents delivered in paper or file form.

• I can use your drawing format.

• Or, if you choose, I can use my own drawing format which I archive for future reference.

• If your company does not have an established engineering document control system for engineering documents provided by vendors or outside consulting services or your own technical staff, then Cedar Engineering Company can develop one for you.  A practical, time proven method can be customized to economically fit your needs.

• After completion of the first pass design of a circuit, I perform a computer simulation of the design over the temperature range specified for operation of the product.  Any marginal behavior is corrected before a breadboard is produced.

• I have designed numerous products for operation over the full temperature range of -55 Degrees Celsius to +115 Degrees Celsius.

• Transducer and signal conditioning for use at 27 Degrees Kelvin. (The temperature of liquid Neon used for cooling.)  Developed a a $0.07 sensor to replace a $240.00 sensor that was needed in 300+ locations.
