Providing product and process development for a wide range of window coverings, beginning with the multi-cellular shade and its equipment that put Comfortex into the manufacturing business. Led technical development of Primary products from company inception to $100MM+/yr (now sold to industry leader). Successes include double-cell and 3-D 'fabric venetian' window shade products and their manufacture, including development of world's fastest & widest pleater and a unique helical textile lap-laminator, integration of unique 2-sided, registered printing line, and curing systems development. Provided guidance for subcontractors and establishment of permanent technical staff. Now part-time consulting, developing new products & next generation machines for this company.

CFIC began as a contract product & equipment development group in 1989, but matured into its own Qdrive product line of resonant power conversion devices, most notably the acoustic-Stirling cryocoolers that are the mainstay products now. Automation business sold in 1999 to focus on Qdrive products, now sold worldwide. CFIC-Qdrive is the globally recognized leader in high-reliability on-site cryogenic equipment.Now managing development of advanced STAR resonant linear drivers (co-inventor) for applications in power generation, cooling, compression and refrigeration, in multiple sizes of 100 to 10,000 watts input. Arranging licenses for worldwide commercial manufacture and consultant in product design to companies developing energy-efficient products. Current and recent contracts include compressor development support for major refrigeration and air-conditioning system manufacturers, as well as cycle analysis and system design of regenerative cycle machinery for KUBOTA Corporation. Also active in the production of CFIC-Qdrive's commercial products, providing technical support for new models of Qdrive* thermoacoustic cryocoolers and liquefiers.In contract engineering service, led multiple product development projects, including: automatic load-and-align sheet picker for die-cutting press; ankle joint rehabilitation device; high-speed counter-batcher for postage stamp coils; and automatic welding equipment for assembly of all-polymer filter casings. Served as principal investigator in US DOE funded research on Ericsson-cycle refrigeration and NASA-funded development of high-power reciprocating alternators.

Led successful development of multi-fuel, Stirling-cycle engine design for automotive use under DoE sponsorship. Dumb idea, but well executed by a strong team. Designer of Mod II automotive Stirling engine. Responsible for conceptual design, structural analysis, material and component specification. Supervised detail design and provided vendor technical interface during procurement and development. Led value engineering effort with team from John Deere, manufacturers. Designed resonant refrigerant compressor and high temperature heat exchanger/fired pressure vessels for MTI/Lennox gas-fired heat pump. Devised innovative Stirling engines in configurations from 1kW to 1000kW for clients and applications worldwide.
