Prototype support framework and modular enclosures for a high-frequency imaging system. Designed and fabricated for the Center For Metamaterials And Integrated Plasmonics at Duke University under a subcontract issued by Duke University under Duke University’s contract HSHQDC-12-C-00049 with the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate. Framework and enclosures fabricated from aluminum extrusions, custom machined aluminum, fiberglass sheet, and SLA parts. Approximate framework
Anti-tamper mechanism for an RFID tag. A mechanism was designed and fabricated to detect removal of an RFID tag from a mounting surface, and in the event of a removal attempt to permanently destroy the electronics inside the tag. The mechanism is inherently resistant to mechanical shock and impact in order to prevent false triggering. The project included design and fabrication of a weatherproof and impact-resistant tag housing. Developed for Dirac Solutions, Inc. and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Automated testing fixture for use with surgical laparoscopic tools. A fixture was designed and fabricated to hold one of several different surgical laparoscopic tools and to test the tool's cutting force and output the measured force and a pass/fail indication. The fixture included a complex roller clutch and cam mechanism to feed and tension a strip of elastic material used for the actual cut testing. The fixture also included a microcontroller, stepper motors, a force sensor, and numerous limit switches.
