Products
Miniature cryocooler controller electronics for tactical/space applications
Controller electronics and power drives optimized for miniature cryocoolers, emphasizing high conversion efficiency, low EMI and radiation tolerance for space and tactical missions.
Battery thermal safety system (heat spreader and BMS algorithms)
Integrated battery safety solution combining passive thermal spreaders to reduce thermal resistance with BMS algorithms and protection hardware to detect emergent electrochemical faults and internal shorts prior to thermal runaway.
Hearing protection helmet for extreme-noise environments
Helmet-integrated passive hearing protection system engineered to reduce airborne and bone-conducted sound for high-noise environments such as aircraft carrier flight decks.
Hearing assessment systems (wireless audiometric headset and screening probes)
Portable hearing-assessment hardware and tablet/mobile software enabling audiometry and otoacoustic emission screening outside traditional sound booths, with cloud or local database hosting.
Nebulizer and inhalation device prototypes and miniaturized autoinjector
Prototype aerosol drug delivery devices and a miniaturized autoinjector with disposable drug cartridges and storage/reconstitution approaches for multi-component injections; supports aerosol characterization and deposition testing.
Miniature hybrid turbomolecular/molecular drag vacuum pump
Very small high-performance vacuum pump suitable for portable analytical instruments with ultimate pressures in the 10^-8 Torr range and low mass/power footprint; space-qualified variants delivered for planetary missions.
