Got into Yocto Project this last week. It can be applied to several projects. It can produce real-time LINUX images for several areas. IoT sensors, specialized instruments, sensors for the vertical wind turbine, SCADA remoted, aircraft MRO tasks, smart house sensors so landlords can sleep at night, Huron River Watershed remoted sensors, and of course commercial drones. Been there, done that, & now do it on the fly. Could take to Germany this summer for an aerial survey of our ancestral family farm in Saxony.

AllOS is a new technology embedded & distributed operating system that secures down to the hardware level and even into secure designed hardware is being developed. Every device and its inner components must be prepared to defend themselves from the attacks of the most vicious malware. This kind of architecture extends itself into the most radical changes expected through the next 20 years. That's the next paradigms of computing that may change computing forever. Be prepared to be impressed.

A distributed & secure SCADA is needed & being developed for many industries. It is important for the future of grids big and small alike. It's used for many distributed control applications. The demand has been great but the delivered products are missing a vision of how to make is a valuable & strategic asset.

A new Open Source Adaptive AUTOSAR product that focuses on safety and shared common core components. The license allows users ownership of application-specific configuration files and the adding of unique & separate proprietary components to suit individual applications. As is normal for open source licensing, the modifications to the core components must be returned to the maintaining organization. This project will overcome barriers to the widespread sharing of safety-related design & development of AUTOSAR's core elements while being compliant to its standards. Industry estimates are that only about 5,000 vehicle engineers are available to work with the standard worldwide. That isn't enough engineers to repeat the same proprietary AUTOSAR developments. Yet there are so many applications of AUTOSAR companies will earn substantial profits across the wide variety of market segments.

Enthusiastically working to improve the Great Lakes & Rust Belt regions' economic diversity as a volunteer. Offering guidance for the development of new products and to promote the export of products worldwide. Helping new businesses develop clear business innovations from inventions. Architecting and designing technology to implement new products. This work began in the 1980s with the Michigan Technology Counsel. JSW

1974 through the present:National-level organizing to obtain funding and enact legislation for commercial satellites, launch booster technology, the single-stage-to-orbit X-33, and COTS, Commercial Orbital Transportation Services. Championed to Congress to obtain technology study funding for Solar Power Satellites which are now being built for the California power grid. Also worked to pass legislation to promote space based businesses by removing prior government red-tape.

July 2010 to presentLeading new export business development, export management and engineering consulting services.

Getting enough class points to have a 4.0 grade point average.

Systems Architecting and Integration pulls together all the pieces that are parts of achieving the goals and mission of your enterprise.Every project, business, or industry activity whether local or operating on the world stage can be organized as a system. A well run company whether it is new or existing, has an architecture, design, and operating form.

Large scale engine manufacturing process quality control applications using multiple Coordinate Measuring Machines. This involved coordinating the entire machining processes necessary to produce engines that met and exceeded stringent quality standards. Major engine components were tested and then as needed machining processes were adjusted. This work resulted in savings exceeding 100's of millions of dollars.

The General Aviation Committee appointment was a continuation of work to improve Michigan's business environment. The committee worked to save and improve Michigan's general aviation airports. This to make available in every County and major area business aircraft capable airports. We succeeded and Michigan has highly rated facilities all over the State. We succeeded in returning $100's of millions of dollars to the State for infrastructure long before it was a popular theme.The committee played a role in the development of Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport working to include general aviation and the associated air cargo operations. This was a fantastic success with air cargo and business aviation operations smoothly integrated into airport operations..

You can always learn something new in flying. The whole aerospace industry is always interesting. There are new challenges every day.

A project to develop and correctly print a nomogram to set the parameters of a heart lung machine. The machine was used in open heart surgery while the patient's heart was not working to temporarily circulate blood. Given two parameters the chart would determine a third quickly. If done incorrectly the patient could have unfortunate results. It required I derive the determining equations correctly as my review found flaws. Printing the chart required learning and programming the calculation-printing-application in the postscript printing language directly. This to be sure the chart was accurately printed on all postscript printers. Terumo Cardiovascular System was a 3M company at that time.

Elected Chair after committee appointment to the most controversial issue in Washtenaw County. Gained a reputation for working with diverse stakeholders and bringing them together in ways that lead to resolutions of deep political divisions. These required I work from the Airport level all the way to the top US government administrators and elected officials of the United States Congress. This work resulted in an appointment to the General Aviation Committee of the Governor's Michigan Aeronautics Commission.The Airport's stakeholders included individuals, home owner associations, community groups, local Unions, political parties, aviation and business groups. It also required working with City, Township, County, State and Federal level elected officials. Regulators and technical administration included City and Urban planners, FAA, FCC, Commerce departments, Southeastern Council of Governments, Airlines, Washtenaw and Wayne Counties, EPA, State Environmental Quality and Conservation, and many more.This was a fantastic experience and I believe I contributed to the improvement of the Airport as a valuable community and State economic asset.

Developed the first microcomputer driven production wire-EDM machines for fuel injection nozzles. These were designed for use in the first massively produced computer controlled engine management systems for GM. These where delivered on time, within budget, and had a reputation for software reliability and robust adaptation as production requirements changed. This saved millions of dollars in production costs during every year of production.

Ford Advanced Engine Engineering - Fuel economy and emissions trade-off strategies for engine controls.

Worked at the University of Michigan Space Physics Laboratory for Professor James G. Anderson on a project developing a resonance fluorescence technique. It was being used to measure chemical species in the upper atmosphere. As part of a high altitude balloon instrumentation package it was dropped to take vertical profile data of chemical species. The empirical data was used to calculate impacts on high altitude OZone and its depletion by chlorofluorocarbons, CFC.The research moved to Harvard. See http://www.arp.harvard.edu/ where it continues to contributed to further understandings about Global Warming. thirty-five years before that phrase was invented, Professor Anderson's research help accurately predicted impacts of atmospheric pollution. This was a great opportunity for which I'm forever grateful.
