Sensing & Measurements, Quantum Mechanics, Solid State, & Thermal & Optical Technology
Expert received his Ph.D. in condensed-matter physics. He used quantum mechanics and Surface Green Function techniques to calculate electronic states and electronic bands at metallic superlattices, discovering, for example, the existence--under determined conditions-of the so-called Fermi beaches with high density…
Maillard Reaction; Flavor Analysis
MAILLARD REACTION; NON-ENZYMATIC BROWNING; REACTION FLAVOR. Expert has studied the interaction of amino acids or proteins with reducing sugars which results in a prominent chemical reaction that occurs during thermal processing of foods. This reaction, known as Maillard or browning…
Plastic Molding Processes
Expert has extensive experience with plastic molding processes and with injection molding in particular. He is often called upon to help clients with issues such as injection molding machine selection, injection mold lubrication, and in-mold labeling. He has been responsible…
Motor and Generator Design and Development
COMPUTER-AIDED DIRECT CURRENT (DC) MOTOR DESIGN; DC MOTOR DEVELOPMENT; FERRITE MOTOR. The most significant portion of Expert's work for the past 5 years has involved computer-aided design and product development of a variety of permanent magnet (PM) brushless DC motor/controller…
Electronic Product Development
Expert (pronounced road-re-an) has designed analog circuits that measure current or voltage signals from temperature, pressure, flow, and conductivity transducers. He has designed isolated, 4-20 mA current loop transmitters. The analog circuits provide inputs to or outputs from microprocessor-based controllers.…
Automotive and Small Engines
Expert has built or rebuilt over 30 automotive (chassis dyno) or engine test cells, most with sophisticated automated data acquisition and control systems. He is currently operating both automotive chassis dynamometer and small engine dynamometer tests at a state-of-the-art emissions…
Energy-Efficient Buildings
ENERGY-EFFICIENT BUILDINGS AND SYSTEMS; ENERGY ECONOMICS FOR BUILDINGS; ENERGY-EFFICIENT WATER HEATING. Most of Expert's career since 1974 has involved the analysis, development, design, and monitoring of energy-saving technologies for buildings. This work has included key systems for improving the building…
