**Some Projects/Duties:**
· 68k Controller Board: This device was to be a monitoring system for any other device that was to be interfaced with. Using a Motorola 68000, 32-bit EPROMs, the device was programmed in both C/C++ or Assembly language for different applications.
· Infrared Security System: A domestic alarm detecting theft by infrared sensors placed around the house and alerting either the whole neighborhood or paging only the owner of the house up to 10 miles from the house.
· Power Supply Tester: A fixture consisting of 40 resistor loads, controlled by relays and switches. It was to test high voltage switching power supplies, sweepers and source controllers.
· Cable Tester: A fixture meant to test 8 different connector cables.
· Data Collector: A DAQ project using LabView 5.0 software (DAQ & IGBT) intended to collect data from laser/detector output power while being aligned.
· State-Variable Filter: As a linear systems device, this product producing 3 to 4 different filters was a state of art having all four filters in one. Using State-variable analogy, we could implement Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass and even Notch filters as outputs of the system. The universal filter was to be studied in relation with PLL.
