Project Types

Equipment Test

For example, an automated wear test device to evaluate dies for use in the aluminum can fabrication process; an automated tester to aspirate, dispense and measure small amounts of fluid for medical equipment applications.

Manufacturing Process Improvements

An improved technique for drying the inside of aluminum cans for higher speed production during manufacturing; an improved technique for semi-automatically assembling a critical component for a tape drive.

Product Improvements

An improved shutter subassembly for a high-cost solder quality analysis product; an improved laser detection device for a high-speed electro-photographic printer.

Advanced Technology Investigations

A new passive device to eliminate the need for air conditioning in an automobile; the development of an injection device for more efficient use of rocket fuel.
