Modal + Servo Analysis

A client needed to determine the performance of a leadscrew actuator. A sensitive optical sensor quickly moves to various positions and holds very still once in position, even in the presence of external disturbances. A ...

Microfluidics

We developed a novel servo system to control micro-droplets. Our machine vision algorithms estimate droplet size and feedback that signal to control a pump’s flow-rate. The closed-loop transient response below shows that...

3D Data Visualization

A custom 3D rendering application using OpenGL was developed to interactively view tomographic data as isosurfaces and volume renderings.

Fiber Inspection Machine

An automated fiber inspection machine was developed. The 3 images below are of an MT fiber connector that is scratched and dirty. Physical constraints required the custom optics to have small NA and long working distance...
