May 2006:  Dale Henson, of San Jose CA, invented a means of re-circulating the hot air through two lamination areas and back through a central heater for precise temperature balance and accuracy.  Lamination processes that require high temperatures (up to 650o F) very close to the melt temperature can now be controlled without burning.  Proc...

February 2005:  Engineering By Design, of San Jose CA, improves the functionality of its standard puller/cutter to include a hot "slicking" process to precisely size an extruded layer over braided wires.  The standard spark sensor detects insulation failures and triggers the "flying knife" cutter to remove damaged areas.  Optional vision ins...

November 2004:  Engineering By Design, of San Jose CA, combined a magnetic coupled linear slide normally associated with pneumatics to a sealed lead screw and servo motor to provide accurate underwater positioning with no leak prone shaft seals.  This new system can remain underwater in a high radiation environment indefinitely without failur...

April 2003: Dale Henson, of San Jose CA, invented a simple add-on device that breaks up the laminar air flow over a helmet through shapes that act as both a spoiler and a vortex generator.  Features normally associated with aircraft to improve stall characteristics are now used to reduce helmet buffeting due to flow around windshields....

January 2002:  Engineering By Design, of San Jose CA, combined a standard respooling process with a level-winding traverse and tension control system to make winding of fiber amplifiers into a production process.  Selectable fiber length or number of turns control improve product manufacturing consistency....

September 2001:  Engineering By Design, of San Jose CA, took a custom design CCD with circuitry and packaged it into an industrial housing that integrates critical chip heat sinking with precise positioning to meet the "C-Mount" specs....

December 2000:  Engineering By Design, of San Jose CA, used a 2-camera vision system to detect missing machined features in pressure tanks manufactures for powering modern auto air bag systems.  Specially designed lighting was used to enhance the edge features by allowing only far-edge light to create shadows around the machined notches.  A ...

November 1999:  Engineering By Design, of San Jose CA, develops a mandrel coil winder that used closed-loop servos to allow programmable tension control that can be changed as a function of process steps.  Dual servo loops linking the load cell to the dancer torque and the dancer position to the supply spool drive made this possible with mini...

May 1998: Dale Henson, of San Jose Ca, invented a 3-way valve that can withstand the high temperatures associated with in-line process heating (up to 1,000o F).  When an air heating process has to interrupt air flow in response to a line stoppage the heater can burn up unless the power is turned off.  It is then necessary to reestablish prope...
