medical device reliability testing expert
medical statistics expert
statistical data analysis expert
surface roughness analysis expert |
Expert has more than thirty years of experience in the analysis of process and manufacturing data aimed at improving product quality and manufacturing process yield. While at DuPont he developed a technology to uncover latent relationships between manufacturing processes variables and product quality. He has presented this information at national control society meetings and in academia. Since becoming an industrial consultant eight years ago, he has applied these techniques to medical instrument manufacture for two clients in New England, to elastomeric seal manufacture for a client in Germany, and to the influence of resin properties on film quality and film process operability. He has also applied statistical process analysis and the design of experiments to the evaluation of medical protocols and medical instrument efficacy. |

Expert has evaluated the processes for medical catheter manufacture to discover the source of product degradation. He has evaluated another manufacturing process and made recommendations to a client for a totally integrated manufacturing information handling and product control system to meet the requirements of GMP and the FDA. He has consulted on applications of dielectric heating and ultrasonic measurements and welding. He has designed sampled data controllers and digital controllers. He has used short range industrial telemetry to measure temperature zones in rotating kilns. He has designed and installed monitoring and control equipment in fiber processing mills to increase their product uniformity and equipment utilization. He has evaluated SPC techniques and uncovered process control variables to use in implementing SPC.

electronics engineering expert
electronics engineering instrument expert
profilometry expert |
During Expert's career at DuPont's Engineering Physics Laboratory he was responsible for the design and development of special process measurement instrumentation. As a result he is very familiar with the application of physical principles in sensors. He designed a unique interferometric film thickness gage and consulted with plants at various sites on thickness gaging and on the measurement and interpretation of surface asperites as they influenced film performance, especially in capacitor and video tape applications. He has designed instruments to measure fiber denier by vibration and non-woven web uniformity by optical transmission. He has designed monitoring equipment to scan hundreds of process instruments automatically, to condition them for transmission over thousands of miles of leased phone lines, and to collect and consolidate their information for eventual analysis. In his present position as Vice President - Engineering of Condux, he has access to over 200 senior scientists, engineers and business specialists, each with more than thirty years of experience in the industrial manufacture of chemicals, polymers and plastic products. |

medical device inspection expert
medical device manufacturing expert
medical device product development expert |
Expert has experience in the design and development of clinical procedures which are intended to evaluate the efficacy of new medical devices and/or procedures. He has analyzed clinical (patient) data to document the protocol and establish its effectiveness and safety for the FDA. He has also analyzed device manufacturing data to improve quality and yield or to isolate source of defects. He has consulted on the design of a protocol to be used in evaluating an alternate contrast media for angiography. He has advised on the design of a protocol to evaluate the use of infusion wires as well as the clinical data from a protocol involving mechanical introduction of a lysising agent.

Expert is knowledgeable of design and development of clinical procedures which are intended to evaluate the efficacy of new medical devices and/or procedures. He has analyzed clinical data to document the protocol and establish its effectiveness and safety for the FDA.
|
|
thickness measurement expert
surface property measurement expert
profilometer expert |
Expert has designed and developed optical, non-contact plastic film thickness measurement systems and consulted on alternate thickness measurement techniques, especially the interpretation of online measurements for uniformity and gauge control. Expert also developed a signal interpretation system for a profilometer-type asperity distribution measuring instruments. He developed a strategy to associate surface tract parameters, Ra, Rz, and others with product end use performance.
|
|
pattern recognition expert |
Expert has worked with pattern recognition, matched filters, similarity mapping, and graph theoretic approaches to product and process classification for yield and property improvement, especially the separation of the richness of sensor from the specificity of the detection and recognition problem. He is familiar with Karhumenlove transformation, principal component analysis, factor analysis, and non-linear mapping.
