-Completed circuit design of an HDMI 1.4a transmitter and receiver proto-board to do functional testing on chip manufactures claims. -Completed Python scripts that controlled two Quantum video signal generators and the HDMI proto-board. Receiver chip had measurement functionality and the script would ensure measurements were correct (comparing to signal generators) and port switching (on two port HDMI receiver) took place in expected amount of time.-Completed airflow and noise measurements for a 6-RU rack-mount box. Using an air velocity meter I took measurements at different locations to get an understanding of flow over a cross-sectional area and using different cross-sectional areas an idea of turbulence within the box. This was done to ensure we are getting enough airflow for cooling. -Designed a switching power supply to control cooling fans. The controller was capable of 65W, 8V to 12V output, 11V -12.5V input, short-circuit protection, buck-boost design. It was controlled via I2C DAC with 4096 points of granularity.-Assisted with FCC compliance testing regarding electromagnetic radiation from electronic device.

-Successfully completed the circuit design and layout of an Inertial Navigational System via Cadence Design Entry CIS and Allegro. My design reduced cost by a factor of 10 relative to the previous solution. (Wikipedia: Inertial Navigational System)-Utilized an ARM-based STM32 MCU, 3-axis MEMs accelerometer, 3-axis MEMs gyroscopic sensors, 8-LED Drivers, 24 LEDs, and 3-axis magnetometers. -In cooperation with several coworkers integrated (in Palo-Alto) Tsunami Warning technology on a Wave Glider™. -Responsible for leading Hawaiian team-members in setup/debugging of Tsunami Warning technology on a Wave Glider™ for testing in Hawaiian waters.

-Setup development and test environments in Red Hat Linux for members of my team. SSH and VNC servers were setup and utilized for remote access to these environments. -Developed algorithms to autonomously manage a highly scalable system, which holds thousands of data servers with millions of users. -The algorithm ensured maximum server productivity while minimizing the amount of hardware usage. Accomplished this by working in a team environment with two other interns and various full-time employees. -All algorithms were implemented using ANSI C in a Unix/Linux environment.

• Smoothed curves inputted through a low-resolution touch screen and outputted through a high-resolution printing unit.• Manipulated sets of Cartesian Coordinates using: Bezier Curves, Parametric Equations, Intelligent Point Averaging, and AlphaBlending methods.• Hardware Constraints to overcome: 1MB of RAM to store a 6.6MB Bitmap. No hardware FPU implementation, ergo limitationson floating-point calculations.• Worked independently with assistance, as needed, from various co-workers. Self-determined dates of completion.
