He has devised a series of criteria to assist in determining if an invention can be converted into a successful profitable patent.
He has been involved in reverse engineering for over 30 years. He works with clients to determine if a product can be built better, cheaper and smaller. Often times reverse engineering is used in the course of a patent infringement case. By determining how the device works in comparison to the challenged device, the case can often be dismissed if client is the defendant in the case.
He has over 30 years in designing circuits to withstand the surges caused by lightning and other high energy sources. He is an expert in testing per Telecordia requirements, NEBS and UL.

Expert has a deep understanding of virtually all aspects of telecommunications standards. He evaluated technical communications standards that could affect future product and service characteristics which could have impeded new product and service introduction.
Expert has a deep understanding of all aspects of regulatory requirements and testing procedures for both the telecommunications and medical industries. He has assisted with product designs in the early stages of development to insure that the product would pass any and all regulatory standards. He has tested products for ESD, EMI, EMC, NEBS, GR-1089, GR-63, IEC60000, IEC60601-1, UL requirements.
Expert has consulted on several cases involving cellular communications - several have involved cell tower records to establish a location of a cell phone during the commission of a felony. Expert has written reports detailing the architecture of a cellular network and the routing of a particular cell phone call. He has designed several features of cell phone technology including emergency number routing, text messages, and transceivers.
He has consulted for E/O Networks for FTTH development and design. He also did power supply design for this client.He has consulted for Raychem in Menlo Park, Calif. for ADSL / DAML /HDSL developmentHe has consulted for Raynet in Menlo Park, Calif. for FTTH development and designHe has provided consulting services to several clients in the telecom and medical industries for regulatory issues including UL testing, NEBS, ESD, EMI, EMC, IECHe has consulted for Hawg-Wired in Fremont for audio amplifier design and development and for Echelon Corp for energy control and electrical meter design
