Nathan holds two patents for scalable manufacturing systems for carbon monoxide sensors. Soon he’ll have at least one more patent. His next one will be for an affordable device to detect bed bug gases.For all his professional life, Nathan has engineered cost-effective manufacturing processes for gas sensors, from small manufacturers, to DoD contractors, to Cummins Engines. He has developed sensors for:-Diesel exhaust emissions. Nathan found significant new chemical pathways for poisoning and analysis techniques.-Diesel Particulates: He developed an innovative test for corrosion reactions that slashed the cost of previous testing methods.-Extra-stable Oxygen. He developed a sensor used to detect respiration in crickets.-Both alkyline and acid type electrochemical Oxygen sensors. -Ethanol: He reduced the production costs for a retail alcohol breathalyzer from $25 to $2.50.-Carbon Monoxide (CO): His patent is for a manufacturing system for a novel conductive and insulating plastic sensor with a rejection rate of less than 0.01%-As the lead engineer on two major plant projects, he oversaw custom manufacturing of printed circuitry and catalytic surfaces, for disposable and reusable mass-produced biosensors.-Over two years, he reduced the power consumption by 50% and noise by 70% on the production of an instrument to concentrate chemicals from the air into water. At the same time, as the lead engineer, he increased efficiency of the process by 50%.Now he brings his experience in gas sensors and manufacturing to a mounting problem: bed bugs (cimex lectularius). Bed bugs emit gases. Nathan’s invented a sensor system to detect those gases.As the CEO of Bedbug Intelligence Group, LLC, he leads a team with expertise in biology, chemistry, fluid dynamics, physics, statistics, electronics, and control programming. Their goal is to produce and market an affordable device that will protect consumers from bed bugs by detecting them rapidly and accurately.
