Ed Haslam
is a Victoria designer specializing in digital/analog designs
and radio communication. He has done extensive work on the Global
Warming Project monitoring animal behavior. He
has designed a line
of
ultra miniature data acquisition and radio communication products that
are available
for remote monitoring
and animal tagging as well as developing a testing system for
automotive shock absorbers. Other projects include hotel
automation using data radio receivers and WIFI data links. Ed is
in charge of
analog and radio communication designs as well as
computer programming. Current work on custom designs for internet
enabled hardware has led
to WIFI methods for wireless large building automation. Ed has
received several patents for his designs and several more that are
pending.
Barbara Soutar is a web designer, desktop publisher and graphic artist. She has worked with conventional media for many years and with computer graphics since 1983. Currently she works with desktop Linux for web design work. She has also recently published a series of articles in the North American Review, a magazine originally edited by Edgar Allen Poe. Currently she is doing technical writing for Microsec and authoring magazine articles in the biographical field. Ian Soutar worked for the National Research Council in Ottawa instrumenting solar energy collection systems. He founded Microsec R&D in 1986 to provide product design services for inventors and industry. Ian is responsible for microcontroller based products and signal processing / control systems. Past designs include a virtual reality fishing machine, a portable DNA analysis machine, a pocket-sized cardiogram device, spread spectrum radio tranceivers and a number of robotic industrial inspection devices. Currently he is doing work for the University of Victoria in the field of robotic fish and a bionic inner ear. Ian has received several patents for his designs. Several other designers are associated with Microsec R&D, offering design services in the fields of precision optical, mechanical, switching power supplies, chemical sensing and radio. Past projects have ranged from industrial automation designs, devices to help the handicapped, measuring tools for material sciences, astronomy and consumer products. Contracts are in progress in both the U.S. and Canada. Microsec R&D Inc. is a current member of the Vancouver Island Advanced Technology Association. Recent Work In 1995 work for the U.S. Office of Naval Research was completed to develop radio and satellite tags for whales and other marine mammals for a study of global warming effects. In 1995-1997 we worked with Harley Street Software completing their portable heart monitoring devices. From 1997 Microsec R&D Inc. has worked with Wavemakers Research Inc. on voice identification and localization software and hardware. Current work is with digital signal processors and other portable computer technologies. During 2000 a contract with the Canadian Coast Guard and our client Wavemakers Research has led to the development of a voice detection and location system for rescue work. A new company called Telesonic Research has been created to manufacture these remote listening microphone arrays. Ongoing development work for Nick Ernst of All Safe Technologies has led to the creation of a hotel security system. A working in-room safe with automated billing is working in several Las Vegas and Hawaii hotels. This system brought an income of over a million dollars in its first year of operation for the hotel owner in Las Vegas. This hotel security work was during 2001-2004 and is ongoing into 2005. Two new patents were applied for this year for hotel automation technologies. Microsec is also marketing its patented antenna enhancing system for portable radios.  ** Our company is always looking for new challenges ** |
